"4. If you need anything else, go with Udemy, Masterclass, School of AI and similar"
+. I am huge udemy fan. I love that profits get back to the creator of the content. Usually, I wait until there is a good sale then pick up a security [1] course for $10. The teachers are positive and reply back to me. I think the only way this model could work is if Udemy had a total of 5 employees and took a small fee. VCs need to get out of this business - these aren't unicorns.
This comment doesn't make a lot of sense. Udemy is a 2500 person company (https://www.linkedin.com/company/udemy/). It is awesome that the profits are 50% shared with the creator of the course. There are many smaller Udemy clones that take less of a percentage but will offer fewer sales.
There really aren't any companies that compete with Udemy. Why would a course creator accept 0.1% of the sales Udemy brings, in exchange for a slightly smaller fee?
Competitors to Udemy really need to do better marketing. The fee doesn't matter.
