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.

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.
