Everything I can find online, including your post on reddit about the outage, says the outage was for 4 days. Not 3 weeks.
I'll also note that your post on reddit about the outage was phrased as if you were a student impacted by the outage, going so far as to say it was your "final straw" even though you don't have skin in the game other than as a competitor.
It was 3 weeks.
You provide no evidence and fail to respond to the criticism at the end ... which is bad behavior, among a great deal of other bad behavior.
do you think maybe they could have kept it up if they didn't layoff 80% of their staff because of your modding? reddit is essentially google results at this point, don't act coy.
That's not correct. Their closest competitor entirely shut down for example, and the industry is the main factor responsible for their decline.
They laid off their Future Code (a completely funded program by the city of NY) overnight with no warning - some of the most dedicated staff.

If their entire marketing strategy is Reddit. They deserve to die. They are failed company. If they were really good they would not need to astroturf reddit. Their students would be their best promoters and they would have line out of the door.
