1. I would say that it's a possibility that almost every single bootcamp - intensions aside - shouldn't exist. I'm not arguing that, but it's a possible outcome.
2. I would be 90% of the ads you saw were general online schools that offer 100 different programs in all kinds of areas, not limited to programming.
3. Patterns over time - if this sub follows 10 schools over time very closely, then even if it's missing complete industry perspective, if you see trends impacting all 10 of those schools, that's a good signal.
