I’m Annie, Codesmith’s Director of Outcomes. AMA! on r/codesmith

I don't have explicit list of who is paying how much, but this is what I have: 1. They are on the "featured schools" list: "Schools may compensate Course Report for featured placement." 2. The mention sponsorship tiers here: [https://www.coursereport.com/connect](https://www.coursereport.com/connect) 3. I follow their Youtube and they release videos there (and on their blog) from the same list of bootcamps, that they also publish "weekly events" for on their socials. And all of them are "featured schools" on their website. I wish they were more transparent about all this, it's not easy to tell. I did report a review on there from an alumni who listed their name, so I found their LinkedIn and that they worked at the school they reviewed and didn't disclose that in the review. Course Report said it was totally fine and didn't remove it.
