Re: Leadership Update: A New Chapter
Zane - I've been an instructor on Udemy for a long time and have seen lots of changes over the years - some good, some otherwise. I'm approaching one million people in my classes, but I am really struggling—as are many of my colleagues here—to see the value proposition for creating new classes on the platform. My revenue has dropped nearly 50 percent year over year, and the prospects to publish my courses elsewhere are tempting.
I'd encourage you to take a hard look at what's happened to the instructor relationship and the erosion of trust over the past two years. Please give us a roadmap and sell us on why we should continue publishing with Udemy. In my space, there are forthcoming opportunities that, as of today, I am leaning towards putting these courses on other sites. I've heard the same from other instructors with audiences like mine. Thanks,
Re: PP revenue Added
Agreed. That’s also something that’s so freaking frustrating since there’s literally no communication or transparency regarding our earnings or how they calculate them. They speak so much about the other things that are not essential, but for our earnings, it’s quiet. I listened to the earnings call yesterday and it’s clear that they only care about their investors and not so much about us which is and should be their core business. Without us, they’re loosing everything. And no AI model can and will replace the human touch when learning someone something.
