I'm not a lawyer. If things are laid out clearly in the fine print for a reasonable person to understand I do think the onus is on the reasonable consumer. But if the debate is over whether this is "reasonable" or not, I won't chime in on that.
My person opinion is that even the bigger bootcamps are small businesses in the grand scheme of things and have so few customers in the grand scheme of things that I think the market and actions of the bootcamp will ultimately be their demise if they are not communicating transparently and openly... like I said, bootcamps are shooting themselves in the foot if their numbers look unrealistically good in this environment and it's actually a negative signal in my opinion. Like what in my opinion happened to Codesmith... covering up a majority of ghosting alumni by counting 'LinkedIn verified placements' that boost numbers. Everyone can see with their own eyes their GitHub projects have minimal new projects and minimal activity relative to the activity last year, so regardless of Reddit, and Twitter and LinkedIn and CIRR, etc... the "reasonable consumer" seems to have figured it out on their own.
