Wow! To some people, that article is going to seem like nit-picking, and insofar as it affects most people, it may be. But my feeling on reading this article is gratitude. Thanks for writing it. It's good for Udemy. If their business practices end up costing some content creators 87.5% of list price, then it's because the evil and/or lazy forces in the company have gained ground, and this kind of sunshine may weaken them. It's good for content creators. It's good for consumers. As a potential customer of courses like yours, I was discouraged at seeing their incentivization of cheaper, spammier courses. Why? Because even if education is turned into a product, it's is still a "buy-it-for-life" product where quality matters, and quality is the only metric I (and probably many of Udemy's shoppers!) really care about. Anything that could result in less noise/spam in their signal is appreciated. It'll be interesting to see how Udemy responds.
