    I agree with the OP.

    There are of course a few exceptions (some python or networking masterclass) but most of the courses are made by people with no teaching skills or worse, with people who don't speak English fluently, making it challenging to understand.

    That is an interesting and almost cartoon-ish take on international commerce :guru:

    And by "the first-class content" you mean Udemy and alike :woot:??? Im afraid to ask how "the information waste" looks like in comparison, like how do one makes it even more useless??

    it is impossible to teach anyone about "mastering" anyway - because of all this internet bullshit.

    "what´s the best mastering clipper?"

    "look at the perfect professional mastering chain for flamenco trap which i´ve made of 24 unlicenced plug-ins!"

    bla bla bla. and pls sub my channel.

    and i will never understand why people want to "learn mastering" anyway. you only need to be able to do that when you have a company and clients.

    there is a reason why music professors do not teach "mastering". it is linked with why you do not use dithering before mpeg. :)

    A.E. Stallings certainly ain't no E.E. Cummings, that's for sure.

    [All in green went my love riding]
    BY E. E. CUMMINGS
    All in green went my love riding
    on a great horse of gold
    into the silver dawn.

    four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
    the merry deer ran before.

    Fleeter be they than dappled dreams
    the swift sweet deer
    the red rare deer.

    Four red roebuck at a white water
    the cruel bugle sang before.

    Horn at hip went my love riding
    riding the echo down
    into the silver dawn.

    four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
    the level meadows ran before.

    Softer be they than slippered sleep
    the lean lithe deer
    the fleet flown deer.

    Four fleet does at a gold valley
    the famished arrow sang before.

    Bow at belt went my love riding
    riding the mountain down
    into the silver dawn.

    four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
    the sheer peaks ran before.

    Paler be they than daunting death
    the sleek slim deer
    the tall tense deer.

    Four tall stags at a green mountain
    the lucky hunter sang before.

    All in green went my love riding
    on a great horse of gold
    into the silver dawn.

    four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
    my heart fell dead before.

    Are statements like these really OK on a forum, that usually deletes political threads or posts right away? Maybe I'm the only one, but reading this stuff here makes me feel uncomfortable .-.


    Classism and racism. And generalisation of a whole country into "Experts or less educated people commiting a fraud"

    Might be right, but nowadays skin shouldn't matter anymore. Dark tanned people can make as good (educational) content, work or whatever it is as other ethnicities.

    Lol u are the only person who started and keeps talking about this xD



    But yeah, most Udemy courses at least the music courses are not good, but some are ok, fine or even great. But it isn't really worth it, to get a membership, because 80% of the courses are shite.

    I bet you that these places do not belong to them and they have only rented them. They take money from hapless customers and pay a small amount as rent.

    These companies usually don't buy a place and work on rent, because they don't want a clear picture of their managers and financial statements to be published. If someone complains about them, nothing can be proved and they cannot even be reached easily.

    Udemy is a big fraudster who were able to fool even these.

    The success of the fraudster often hinges on the ability to tell a convincing story. It is not known what they told them to win their trust.

    I think that the TrustPilot reviews of Udemy says it all.. - It must be in the company's best interest to have a transparent profile, so that users will trust them. Also, when creating content, wouldn't it be normal to have some kind of Quality Assurance, to make sure that the tutorials are in a top notch quality, and on occation also ask the customers how they like the product? - Finally when their registrant mail address looks like this.. daaecbekjkvl@idp(dot)email, then alarmbells should ring.
