This is a cautionary tale for all about Reddit, Discord and reviews. The bootcamp industry has always been a bit sketchy in that the review websites have financial arrangements with programs and success stories tend to be short term and often encouraged (sometimes without the students realizing). The only bootcamps that are doing ok are the very small ones that have like 20 to 40 students at a time and are human-heavy operations.
