Wow, that’s not the case at all and I didn’t notice. I’m currently relearning javascript using CSX, and it’s been really helpful for me, so I’ve been sharing my experience. I probably grabbed the link with the parameters by mistake from somewhere else.

Reddit doesn't add UTM params to anything so wherever you got it from was someone including tracking for marketing purposes.
Codesmith claims that they have no control over the Codesmith subreddit (which is the one referenced in the UTM params) so something doesn't add up:
The params are explicitly referencing the Codesmith subreddit and not only that but you shared the exact same UTM params in a dozen or more places across Reddit.
If you were sharing it genuinely you would probably have clean links or different links each time. You might just got o CSX and copy paste the clean URL for example, or you might link to specific exercises have different params.
So if you accidentally did this, then you kept copy pasting your same comment dozens of times and changing it a bit, which violates Reddits ToS against mass commenting.
