In general quality is much higher than Udemy (or maybe I'm lucky) and authors seems like don't getting paid for video length.

They even slow down videos on purpose..

Great move, thanks Pluralsight !

But I think the site is getting pounded by the massive onslaught of traffic.

Is that the reason Udemy videos are so lengthy? I rarely buy Udemy courses because of that.

Most udemy videos are 30s to 3m

Thick Indian accents? There are some fantastic programming tutorials on YouTube but unfortuantly the thick Indian accent makes them all most unwatchable.

How do Indian accents make it unwatchable?

Any accent you're not used to is trickier to follow.

Americans get a benefit in the anglosphere due to the prevalance of holywood on TV and movies, so the accent tends to to be less unusual to ears.

It doesn't really cover CS; you're better with Coursera for that. Their .Net content, Angular content and Android content is of a very high quality. I wasn't so impressed with the Java content - but that might be more down to the subject matter. I'd probably have hated anything covering Webforms or WCF or other such monsters ;)

oh Android I'm definitely interested in so I'll give that a look for sure. Thanks!

I hope that you get some value from it :) I enjoyed it and understand how Android works from a high level although I never went on to implemented anything on the platform :)
