I mean paywalled in the sense of you pay up front for access to something without a good way to determine the quality of what you'll get. When I buy a book, I have extensive reviews, recommendations, and I can go to a store and flip through the pages to see if I will benefit from it. Schools tend to advertise very much towards what kind of quality education you'll get, and accreditation is in some ways a guarantee of that. I just really dislike that model of monetization. My focus on monetization isn't that "any motive to make money instantly undermines the effort." It's that in this very specific case, with this specific target audience, it seems extremely suspect. Sure there is room for both, and I don't dispute that. I was pointing out that if we're going to ask people to pay for this service, especially schools that will use tax money, that it should be made very clear what benefits it has over what is already available for free.
