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.

Any courses you would particularly recommend? I always found that Udemy's vast catalogue made it hard to actually pick a course.

Yes! I have had unfettered access to it via a couple employers and the Illusion of Choice is real. The best thing they could do (for users like me, not sure if this is true for the majority) would be to go back to being a curator of quality and not a marketplace for anyone to make a course.

		Being a big marketplace is their big differentiator from sites like masterclass But at the same time I agree that they aren't doing enough to surface the high quality courses

There was one course I did gor mongoose, muber I think it's called. I really liked it as a student because it's all very bite-sized and you could stop/start whenever. They do recaps at the beginning.

Compare that to a 6 hr video on YouTube, next day you already forgot what the timestamp was about.
