Clearly, you don’t speak for us. This is not only about market changes, it is about how a large company is poorly managing those changes and failing to be transparent with the people involved. As instructors, we are concerned because many of us made a living from this and invested years of work in building a solid income system, which is now suddenly falling apart.

Stop complaining about people complaining. I have an excellent job at a university, however if I am displeased with something or I feel something can be done better then I might express my opinion. All of my courses are up-to-date, I respond to every single question and every review and I am not incompetent. Perhaps you are speaking from firsthand experience. I am happy to be on Udemy but sales are dropping despite publishing another 8 courses in the past 6 months. I am making almost half as much as I made a year ago with twice the number of courses. This is a fact. I appreciate everyone on Udemy but it doesn't mean everything is perfect. If you don't want to complain then don't complain.

Make sure we continue to speak up as instructors. The last thing we need is to be complacent. Great companies are made when they are constantly challenged to improve and make it a more sustainable company through changes that were brought about by those speaking up. The way you wrote this was very combative in tone, not a great way to spread a message of hope and challenge.

I get your point but why the disrespectful and degrading language? It just takes away from your message, and does not make it possible to have a fruitful discussion.
