jczhang··on Show HN: HN.Academy – Top online courses recommended by Hacker News users
Interesting, wonder if that's because Coursera is perceived and thought of as better in general or is it due to other reasons such as general popularity. May make sense to have some kind of normalization to unbias it if the latter.

Love that kind of commentary Elon provides.
