First, if someone is not motivated, be they adults or children they will not learn, especially in a medium like the internet where there is a lot more freedom in when and what to watch and practise. This has nothing to do with KA.
Second, good teaching can never be assumed just because it's done in a classroom setting. The major problem in education is getting good teachers. There is no system in any country where teachers are continuously evaluated and rewarded ( and get fired ) solely on the basis of performance. That is a big mistake. On the internet, real market forces work. ie people watch whichever course they want to watch. That's where KA shines through. He never forced a single kid to watch his short videos. But his viewership is now in the millions.
