...have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

In light of the fact that you burned your own site/s, are you better off doing your own SEO?

When the mediocre cannot rise above their peers, they turn to the tactic of pushing others down. Your criticism of third party SEOs does not diminish the fact that it was your own lack of expertise and poor choices that damaged the rankings of your own sites.

Belittling others does not improve your skill or expertise, however much superior it might make you feel. ;)
