I have received numerous bug bounties for finding security vulnerabilities thank you very much and participated in organizing Red Team security drills.
The situation is complicated over 4 years and you jumped in at the "everything is burning to the ground" stage. I look really bad, Codesmith looks really bad. There are bad actors going after me left right and center. There are bad actors who went after Codesmith over the years.
And yes, if you were here for 4 years you would see all of the people I recommended go to Codesmith, because every bootcamp has flaws and if you are a good fit for Codesmith you should go to Codesmith and I tried to make that happen.
I'm very bad at communicating in general, but you are seeing a sliver of this thing.
Reddit shut down all the manipulation as you saw, and now the people went to X.
