I do agree with you that we sometimes feel entitled to something and we shouldn't. However, I remember when Udacity started and it was all ah, yes, oh, uh, free courses, free education, access for everyone.
Charge for it but don't try and fool me with "I am nice and doing good" talk.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoYeah and especially Coursera is still waving the banner of "free education for everyone" (and asking to pay to support it...) while employing more and more dark patterns to prevent you from getting viewing the for free.
- jnbiche 10y agoMeanwhile, Khan Academy, who really does believe in free education for everyone, is getting better and better...
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIt looks like they're slowly succumbing too :(. It took me over a minute now to figure out how to get to the videos without having to register first - their new site design makes it much harder than it was when Khan Academy was "just a site". I hope they won't go further in that direction.
