>They were looking to get traction based on the reputation of the founders and other tech influencers (like Kent C Dodds) in the react community.
This had the opposite effect for me.
I bought Dodds' Epic React course and it seemed to have been kicked to the curb in favor of joining and boosting Remix.
I remember some important course updates were pending, and seemed to come to a standstill while his entire blog was re-written in Remix.
Then a month or so later he joined that team. I really liked his prior educational content, in this it seemed like paid promotion for a particular framework.
The VC raise and bringing Dodds on seemed like peak (hopefully!) hypecycle for frontend JS stuff.
