Personally, reading that headline, I would think "oh wow, this guy learned enough computer science to get his degree in 3 months, he's either some kind of super genius or has some crazy learning hacks to share", when really he just Game-Genie'd to the end credits as a formality since he already knew computer science and just wanted the piece of paper.
An example of a non-clickbait title for this article:
"I already knew computer science; here's how I got the piece of paper in 3 months"
For me, what he wrote is exactly what I expected from the title.
In some universities from where I am there's something known as "rendir libre", which means that you can skip classes but still do the final exam for each subject, so you would be able to achieve something similar to this.
I like that kind of system, as I don't like the bureaucracy of the education system getting in the way of someone who has the knowledge, I think it was a nice read and what WGU does is useful for a minority of people.
