I paid over $1,000 for one of their “nanodegree” programs. After it ended, they had the nerve to lock all the content, including all my notes and submissions as well as course content like videos and such. I highly recommend anyone avoid them.
For courses, Udemy is hit or miss unfortunately. I wish there was an explicit way to tell before buying the course whether it allowed downloading the material (including the videos).
Indeed, this is where these companies seem to desperately want us to go. I do hope something changes but we're heading in the absolute wrong direction with things like Google's Chrome attestation garbage.
I was paying for another site monthly where there was an "inofficial" way to download videos. Stopped my subscription when they updated the site and downloading didn't work anymore
