@Bella Thank you for keeping us in the loop with new and potential changes. Personally speaking, the marketplace soft learning courses seem to be slipping behind in terms of focus as there is a movement towards the core, Udemy business and the personal plan. There does seem to be a split between those providing business and tech-related courses and more of the soft learning courses. I get that, and I'm sure as a business, Udemy is constantly evaluating its efficiencies to revenue. The broader issue for many people is the drop in revenues month on month, which is a whole new topic in itself, and I'm sure there are far more capable experts here to discuss the verbiage around that. When we put all this into an emotional pot, I think many instructors are feeling lost, uninspired, and for some, scared, watching their revenues, in some cases, dry up or be significantly reduced. I have worked in communications and always used one mantra: little information is dangerous. Even more so is the case when dropped into an environment where some people feel lost, uninspired or scared. This topic, for me, is a perfect example of this. I, like many, appreciate the engagement, but releasing info like this without a complete comms plan or information outline is dangerous and, I believe, causes the responses you have had to what may be a groundbreaking and brilliant idea that can benefit. Many people hear more revenue loss, more culling of the weak, and more changes they don't understand or control. Again please understand where this viewpoint is coming from. I am incredibly grateful for Udemy; this year will be my fifth year. It's been a challenging but very successful space for me. I think fundamental changes need to be more than a short topic post on here. Be Love Give Love Julian x
