I think your math is a little off, 100K signed up for the AI class, only 40K actually turned in a HW, guessing that less than 20K actually finished,

guessing none of the classes this spring will have anything close to that enrollment

This was an initial experiment so I am pretty sure they will change the format a little bit later. lots of people signed up for all the classes and it was difficult to do all the three at the same time but if given the option of doing it at your own pace I do not think it will go down.

You pay at the beginning. Whether you finish or not does not change how much you make.

If you had to pay up-front (even $10), they'd probably have gotten <1000 signups.
