Thoughts on this blog post alleging harassment (and worse) against Codesmith?

PART 2 * From that position, Novati began posting extensively about a direct competitor, Codesmith. Over a period of 487 days, he published 425 negative comments or posts referencing the company—an average of almost one per day. Not true. I posted about Codesmith extensively prior to becoming a mod. I don't have a count, but a number of the comments are on spiraling threads with dozens of comments. I think the heat map of commenting on a given day is more telling. * Approximately ninety percent of his statements concerning Codesmith were negative in sentiment. I don't agree with that. I write multi paragraph comments with lots of sentiments in them. My overall tone has been increasingly negative since September 2024. * Threads originating from r/codingbootcamp subsequently began ranking highly on Google searches for “Codesmith,” often displaying titles such as “Codesmith is an enormous waste of money.” Those posts that I see are not my threads. * These same Reddit threads were later surfaced in large language model outputs, effectively propagating Novati’s narratives beyond Reddit. Again, those posts aren't my threads. I don't know what LLMs are serving up, but the Google ones I see are not mine. * Novati employed associative rhetoric to undermine Codesmith’s reputation. In one instance, he compared positive student testimonials to statements made by members of the NXIVM sex cult, implying manipulation without making an explicit accusation. I said that the language used by one individual was the type of argument people made about going into cults. Not that Codesmith was a sex-cult. I used NXIVM because they were a business focused coaching service focused on leveling up, not because of the sex-cult aspect.
