I bought many Udemy courses. I even shared my experience with them so they can use it as a real-case of freelance success, and it's a shame that they are allowing this kind of content. I won't blame the platform itself since everyone can upload a course, but I really hope they start reviewing it, as Fiverr and many other started doing... Thank you for sharing!

Udemy does not even do some sort of vetting process to see if the video uploader is genuine. I see a lot of videos being copied from youtube. Which is so wrong for those channel creators.

It's sad! Udemy needs to do WAY better.

One thing I'd love to see Udemy get better at is checking the quality of the captioning their instructors slap on their courses. Some of it is so, so awful. I've complained to Udemy about it but the general gist of their response was, 'hey at least it's captioned!'. Well ... it kinda defeats the point if you can't understand the captioning in the first place!

So, yeah this doesn't surprise me in the least.

Yes it is clear that udemy does not do proper house keeping. I had this few days before. twitter.com/baskarmib/status/11726...
