One thing I noticed was a course would always be 90% off unless I was logged in. Then the course would either a) not have the discount b) have the discount for a few hours and then mark itself up to the “full price”. Basically a way to try and reward immediate purchasing.
Another anecdote is one time I added a class with a 90% discount to my cart before logging in. Once I logged in the discount disappeared.
I stopped using them after their extreme DRM made it literally impossible for me to load videos. I received a refund for most of my courses but still had to do a chargeback for one.
- tomhallett 3y agoThe most annoying part of the DRM is that the mobile app prevents you from taking screenshots. I often listen to courses while doing something else, so taking a screenshot of a slide is an easy way for me to "take notes". The idea that I'm going to use a mobile screenshot to steal content is so far fetched and hostile to paying customers. Note: screenshots on a computer work fine, which is hilarious because if I were to imagine someone stealing content en-masse, I'd assume they would prefer a computer. I know that instructors can opt in/out to this feature, but I think it's bogus that it exists at all and I don't fault instructors from having it enabled.
