I’ve purchased many Udemy courses over the years. The subscription plan they’ve been pushing makes no sense financially. I hope I’m wrong but I worry that eventually being a subscriber will be the only thing they offer.
Compare that to a 6 hr video on YouTube, next day you already forgot what the timestamp was about.
But at the same time I agree that they aren't doing enough to surface the high quality courses
They have forced the creators to agree on being scrapped by AI or otherwise not showing up on their own top search. Ironically this has sealed their fate, and most top creators decided to move their content somewhere else.
