Re: Leadership Update: A New Chapter
I have been trying all day (and failing) to come up with an appropriate public response to this.
Genefa, I wish you all the best in your new adventure. It's good when good things happen to good people. So from that personal perspective, I hope this new job is all that you dream it is and more. And they're lucky to have you.
From my perspective as a Udemy instructor, and someone who always wants to see Udemy succeed… I hope the five people they will have to hire to replace you are up to the task!

Re: PP revenue Added
Although I don't get any income from Udemy for Business and the Personal Plan I think it is becoming increasingly apprarent that students want more than just an online course. I think Udemy is pivoting as best they can but the market trends and consumer behavior is just shifting too quickly.
One way around this is for Udemy or us as instructors to teach online courses with real time feedback. You enroll as many students as you can realistically help per hour and interact with them. I believe that is one of the ways through all of this. There is just too much noise in out there these days and people crave authenticity and they want to be part of a community.
Not just sold another monthly service plan or unidirectional teaching system that leads them to a vapid experience.
Re: PP revenue Added
Same here, no transparency on how our income from PP is being evaluated

Congratulations on quitting Udemy. I am sure that was a wise decision for you. In any field of creative product development, many will not succeed and should move on to use their talents in other ways. - Generalizing your experience, or mine, to the majority of instructors is most often a mistake. A fair number of us have continued to make a good living on Udemy. So for us it has not been a waste of time.
- No company has figured out how to make this a profitable and stable business. It is still an early stage business and frequent experimentation, and failed experiments, are inevitable., The important thing is that they keep trying to discover new ways to make this successful.
- I would not accuse anyone of "lying." Expecting a result, trying for a result, that then disappoints, is not a lie. It is part of the normal business process.
