Discussion on: Udemy Needs to Review Courses and Vet Instructors

This can't be simplified to some people being upset about dating courses. It's not a dating course. It's a course about how to manipulate women and perpetuates the mentality that men are entitled to women's bodies and attention. I've said multiple times: A LOT of devs use Udemy. But I'm done repeating myself just because you disagree about the need to alert folks to what kind of danger Udemy can be.

Do you want to see posts here about my medical issues?

Yeah, actually. People love that shit! Check out this post I wrote that has almost 100 reactions and over 1500 views:

Because this site is for a specific type of person and specific types of content that benefit many (if not all) of us. All of these things have their place online but not here.

You have been here for less than a month. I encourage you to explore this site a little bit more. The content goes far beyond technical topics.

So I should expect to be attacked every time for sharing an opinion on a post. New-comers it. Got it.

"Dating" is an over-simplification I suppose but it was in quotes (meaning that isn't really the true subject), but even that isn't the point. You still haven't answered my question. How is this related to developers/designers? How is this helpful? You offer no alternatives or ideas for bettering the situation. Just bashing a platform (for valid reasons, sure). I just don't see the value in it for a dev community. I don't come here to be an army to attack someone else doing terrible stuff. Why don't we attack YouTube because devs can no longer make money on there because of their weird new rules? This site isn't about that. It isn't useful or helpful.

I don't appreciate being attacked for my opinion as stated either.

Have you read the code of conduct here? "Gracefully accepting constructive criticism" and "Focusing on what is best for the community."

This kind of content valuable to me, it's valuable to Ashlee, it's valuable to a whole heck of a lot of women developers who learned things on Udemy. If they allow this sort of stuff onto the site, what's the quality of the tech courses I've taken?

And no one is attacking you.
