The author might be better off going with the flow and treating Udemy-imposed discounts as a loss-leader for consulting gigs. Udemy is creating a race to the bottom for their course creators, to the benefit of the students, who will always be able to find quality courses for $10. The winning course creators will be the top 2%, plus those in the top 10% who are able to convert the courses into other forms of income. However, this is not much different than almost every other form of content creation and centralized distribution these days, where there are winners who are good enough that they can make a break and create their own distribution channels, another tier who can make a living by hustling in multiple modes, and the hopeful replacement-level masses who keep the broad distribution channels afloat with a deep catalog.
