TL;DR - don't take the product seriously. It's the UX process. The article is more about the author learning UX methodologies and showing it off to Google rather than the product that's being pitched. The product being pitched already has many issues and problems: * Is "Hobbies" the right product? Looks like this product is trying to solve too much - trying to "make time for people to do hobbies", search for teachers, filter and organize information better, etc... * Would people even use this for hobbies? How serious do people take their hobbies? It is actually a problem that people meander through youtube while attempting to learn something? * What's the difference between a hobbie and something like taking a school course? It happens that if the person likes it, and can do it as a job, then that intersection works well. Otherwise it turns hobbies into a chore. </2cents>
