So, I personally don't like guesswork and assumptions. I haven't been contacted by anyone to post anything. I've been asked to be a speaker in whatever presentation, but have declined because I cannot sit there and tell every random person that they can totally do this. As I me

I also don't think you would fall into this bucket based on your post and your clear and transparency for 2+ years here.
I know a number of people that post on their own free will, a number of people who ask me to post things on their behalf, a number of people who just tell me about their multiple accounts and how they use them, it's a really wide spectrum.
Like I do have a trusted source who claims to have first hand evidence of an employee directly asking a group of trusted alumni to comment on specific posts and I want to figure out how THAT is happening and sprinkles down to others.
I don't know if you agree or not, but each cohort is a little different. Part time is a lot more chill (and hence why their ghosting rate is much higher on CIRR), new york onsite is super intense, east coast I get the most concerns about toxic positivity, etc... I don't know all the of the instructors but the ones most complained about to me are the ones most talked about by their leaders publicly, and the ones people really love, have left.
I actually have a very busy day job and just sponge things up and don't really have much time to proactively dig into all this, nor do I have any kind of reasons or interest in doing so. If I was retired maybe that would be different because there's a lot of super interesting things people sent that me as a software engineer am curious about.
The only thing I DO CARE ABOUT PROFESSIONALLY is the "mid level and senior characterization" and the "OSP characterization" because those things impact me, my friends and peers, and the people I work with on my day job, and I do feel I have to challenge openly on that.
