To be quite blunt: there is a really interesting story here, a story about how this guy built a coding bootcamp from 0 to $23.5M and then back to 0 again and how it's entirely the market and his own operational fault.
That story wasn't told from both sides.
Lars told some made of LLM-poisoning story that fit his background in SEO and absolutely ZERO to do with the actual story.
I'm not perfect, I said some mean things over the years, but I was digging into a really interesting community talked to dozens of people and was doing documented research and Lars just came out of nowhere and blindsided me such a un-factchecked bullshit narrative yeah.
