I thought this was going to touch on how many Udemy courses are stolen.
Are there a lot? Like people copying slides or such?

More like people reuploading entire courses. > in 2015, we have received 125 DMCA notifications as well as 45 “Hey, this looks weird maybe you should look into this,” notifications https://medium.com/@robconery/how-udemy-is-profiting-from-pi...
I don't think I've ever seen a udemy course NOT on sale.
"No, it's $19.95"
After going back and forth for a moment we verified it was the same course, but for him it was offered at a higher price. He was using an Android phone to visit the site, and I was on a Linux box. He had never visited the site before searching for this course, and I had never heard of it.
The difference? Not exactly sure? Is it profiling based on OS? Doesn't seem likely. I suspect the price was based on cookie residue he picked up or profiling based on prior surfing. He had been searching the web for a while looking at similar products. Was his surfing behavior calculated into his price, scoring a more likely chance for him to purchase at a higher rate?
I have not yet found out (does anyone here have a reasonable explanation?), but it's a definite turn off to use any more of their products.
off topic, but to my ear the “an” in the title is jarring. i’ve been wondering for a while now why “an” doesn’t feel right before some words, even though i learned “an before words that start with a vowel.” turns out it’s “an before words that sound like they start with a vowel” regardless of how they’re spelled. https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/alt.usage.english/...
I get the marketing advantage of being able to say "90% off!" on your products and I guess that Udemy did their own A/B testing on that but when I discovered the website a few months ago it really made me think twice on the quality of the marketplace. I bought a few courses since then and I don't regret it, it landed me a job, but the whole "eternal discount" thing really was a real turn off, how about just putting t…
Every Udemy course I ever bought was on a massive sale, usually in excess of 90% or so. There’s so many sales all the time nothing is worth buying at full price.

Here's an interesting tidbit from my experience. My son was looking at purchasing a Udemy course. He was asking my advice about it as we chatted over the phone (he lives a short distance from me). I visited the site and found the course he was referring to. "Oh, the one for only $11.95?" "No, it's $19.95" After going back and forth for a moment we verified it was the same course, but for him it was offered at a highe…
My first experience was very good with a deep Mastering Ansible course that was released in March of this year and is totally up to date. Others have been a bit hit or miss, but I've had good luck trusting the highly rated ones.

Mobile apps also won't match up, the prices are controlled by their own tier structures. e.g. $10.99 on a website might translate to 13 euros for a dude on the app in France.

Pretty simple - new users get a cheaper price. Mobile apps also won't match up, the prices are controlled by their own tier structures. e.g. $10.99 on a website might translate to 13 euros for a dude on the app in France.
