There's nothing you can do to satiate these people. They just want to peddle "bootcamp bad" all day every day. Say for the sake of argument you did as they suggest and requested people only respond who graduated after 2022. Well if it came back showing 40% of people got jobs in

40% of people getting jobs in yeah would be evidence that bootcamps should shut down and call it day. Codesmith was pulling 80% in 6 months in the boomtimes and 40% in a year means the model doesn't work anymore.

Update/PSA. I think this poll is problematic and possibly being cooked by bad actors, but a lot of people initially gave blanket criticism of this poll but those criticisms are patently false. If certain assumptions hold about the respondents being representative samples then bro

This sub has evidence of active manipulation so it wouldn't surprise me if people are manipulating the poll. Reddit is a tough place. You have people shilling all kinds of things with networks of anonymous fake accounts that manipulate entire threads. Reddit recently sent out a survey to mods to see if you can tell fake content from real content and it's a big problem they are fighting hard. I've been personally attacked by a ton of fake accounts and almost all of them are "permanently suspended" from Reddit now. I would say to only trust people who have been here for a long time and have a clear history to look at. But one of the most prominent bootcamps with their CEO with a fabulous account, paid some guy on Upwork to promote their bootcamp across Reddit. So really you can't trust anyone.
