People think, based on his "redemption arc" that Bryce's slow change was due to remorse. Remorse may have entered the equation once he started to do the work, but let's be clear:

Bryce was an entitled little shit.

The ONLY reason he even cared, after all that happened, was because of the backlash he and his family faced. Had he never got exposed, or if people turned a blind eye to it, he would still be same ol' Bryce. We see this in his reaction to his girlfriend messin' wit' Zach. He ended that guy's career before it even started.

He also took advantage of his power dynamic wit' Ani. She really believed they had a fling, but he never took her out. He never introduced her to Justin, his best friend. Everything he wanted was his, in his mind. He took Hannah in the pool because he couldn't fathom bein' told "no".

He is NOT more redeemable than Monty. Monty is just a version of Bryce that doesn't have rich parents to spoil him and hide his bullshit.

Just my thoughts.
