More isn't always better. Especially for UB and Personal Subscription minutes.

Now, our courses will be competing with thousands more and the earnings will be diluted!

This is a surprising and exciting announcement, but also, of course an uncertain one. Thank you for the FAQs @ZaneVella. Reaching Coursera's user base is a huge potential opportunity for all of us.

Yes, I also think that a course cleanup wouldn't hurt, but it's a subjective matter that should be handled carefully.
A course with few students might be very good, but the topic might not be very popular, for example, non-technical courses.

And we could point out similar issues.

Definitely understand this news. Time will tell if it's good or bad. But purely from a business standpoint I think this move makes sense for both companies.

This time next year, you will have a full grasp of Udemy’s style of communication.

Thanks @ZaneVella for the information and the FAQ. If anything I am surprised it did not happen sooner with Coursera or LinkedIn or someone. This is a good move for the companies. Will see how it impacts instructors. I remember when ChatGPT exploded on the scene, Udemy crushed Coursera with its time to market and getting many quality courses out fast. Well, not Udemy…its Instructors, but Udemy provided some very key ingredients. A strong platform, marketing support, and the belief that anyone can make a course then let the market decide. I certainly benefited from that. I am very glad for you and Hugo being as transparent as you can be. I do not post much and for those who know me I have always been very pro Udemy even as my revenue felt under pressure. I thought to myself…maybe if Udemy ever does cease to exist I will be the last one to turn the lights off. 😊In late 2026 that will happen which makes me sad but my hope is that a new combined company light will shine.
