I paid over $1,000 for one of their “nanodegree” programs. After it ended, they had the nerve to lock all the content, including all my notes and submissions as well as course content like videos and such. I highly recommend anyone avoid them.
- freedomben 3y agoYep, I'm done paying for DRM locked content. For courses, Udemy is hit or miss unfortunately. I wish there was an explicit way to tell before buying the course whether it allowed downloading the material (including the videos).
- ilrwbwrkhv 3y agoAll Udemy and udacity material is downloadable on the high seas.
- freedomben 3y agoIndeed, this is where these companies seem to desperately want us to go. I do hope something changes but we're heading in the absolute wrong direction with things like Google's Chrome attestation garbage.
- taskforcegemini 3y agoI was paying for another site monthly where there was an "inofficial" way to download videos. Stopped my subscription when they updated the site and downloading didn't work anymore
- gryn 3y agoWell, they have the aUdacity. missed pun opportunity /s
- SilasX 3y agoYeah, same feeling when the literal face of their React course wasn't actually the expert he claimed to be: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18601298 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18601298
