This guy is boring. This is unreal!

I've shared the first 12 courses by this "instructor". This is the perfect example why Udemy has a bad reputation. Now the "courses" are 61 (and growing). Yeah, 61 f***ing all the same boring courses. They are all between 40 minutes and 1 hour long. I consider these courses spam.

They have all the same stupid titles, like python bootcamp, python zero to hero, machine learning powerful, Mega Man (ロックマン Rokkuman) 1, 2, 3 combined etc ... :)

I've created this thread just because they are free. Udemy does not have any quality control. It is pretty sad :( ...

I'm deeply sorry guys for this "share" :(


Edit: What is "shocking" to me is that he went from 12 to 61 courses (big word) in few hours, not in days or months.

I was always hesitant to pick up his courses. I really wish Udemy would implement some Quality of Life (QoL) changes to their platform. There's also "instructors" who rip courses off youtube or some other platform and post it up as if it's their own.

Ignore X instructors courses
Search filter, Hide purchased/owned courses.

Little things like that can make a huge impact on the user experience. I've suggested it multiple times over the years, and sadly it doesn't look like they're going to change their tune anytime soon.

My brother SteB81 and other sharers too:

Do not worry, it is not the fault of us who share, that a few courses are junk or spam. :( Because we have to share quickly, so that the coupons of the truly exceptional courses are not lost, out of time! :|

This is of course a warning to other authors, to never fall into such bad practices! And certainly, there should be better quality controls in Udemy! But also, it has its advantages as it is now, because Udemy is less restrictive than other places, we have some more commercial freedom. There is always something good that can be taken out of any situation! ;)

Nevertheless, we will not stop sharing, teaching and learning with thousands of good and amazing courses that are in Udemy, and most of them shared here for the effort and dedication of our great sharers like you, SteB81.

Udemy has even an elite monthly service, but we have courses as good as those, totally free, thanks to people like you SteB81, who always share mostly great courses, with some very few exceptions! :)

An angel here, helping and sharing some optimistic words.
Peace, success and blessings to all, in life and eternity!

No need to be sorry - everyone needs to learn to disseminate between bad and good courses. This is also part of the self-building process.

Video courses are particularly time-wasteful - just like TV, so everyone must be focused and selective: watch only what is unique, skill-building info.

yep, this is horrible. But, this guy is not the winner in spam professor category. There are other "gurus" that have been around a long time, and probably this guy took inspiration from them - check out https://www.udemy.com/user/dr-dheeraj-mehrotra/ - this guy has 208 courses and growing - pretty much similar low quality stuff published under different titles. There is another champion (https://www.udemy.com/user/pradeepaggarwal) who also has almost the same no. of courses (209) courses which he "dumped" on udemy over a period of a few months about 3 years ago, then I think udemy took away his course publishing privilege. So, he is still at 209 courses, but I am sure there are unassuming folks buying his courses even now - because titles are catchy and convincing. Content on the other hand is laughable. Also, don't even get me started on the "instructors" that are publishing practice exams by the hundreds. In my close, observation - all of these spammers in Udemy "happen to be" from the same country - India. It tells a lot about ethics prevailing in that country at individual level. Some of these spammers publish their "courses" under different profile - but u can figure out the same author easily. oh well... udemy and quality control just don't go togeher. Sadly, it makes me spend much extra time figuring out a good instructor, including some from India, from the crowd of spammers pooping all over Udemy.

I agree 100% with what Slider1 said here !!! :

"No need to be sorry - everyone needs to learn to disseminate between bad and good courses. This is also part of the self-building process.

Add to that how Udemy does nothing to stop supposed 'teachers' from publishing obvious PLR crap as 'courses', and allows non-english speakers to post incomprehensible trash labeled as 'english', and so on - zero QC is absolutely correct.

Sometimes I am tempted to post back to threads after seeing stuff that is total trash and/or PLR, but then I don't just because it may cause a poor reflection aimed at the sharer, which they do not deserve at all.

As always, thanks for being here and offering such wonderful shares SteB81 !!
Your works are appreciated, even if all that can be done is to thank you when possible and add Rep for you;
You should have the highest possible standing here in return for your endlessly devoted works !!!

Hi again:

I am also agree with all of you, about the problem with time-waster, PLR, plagiarism, incomprehensible language, and spam courses. :(

Thanks also to Jforall for the excellent report about other bad teachers (in post 5). Udemy should do something about that definitely. :| Except only about the Dr Dheeraj Mehrotra that is a very knowledgeable expert, even when his courses has not the best quality, he is a good teacher with useful content in a lot of courses, because he have 40 books and a lot of real professional experience in India; and can not be at the same category at crap courses as others ;)

We need to keep sharing, learning, teaching, and even fight reporting this crazy bad practices in this great community and with Udemy! Maybe we could do a difference! :)

Peace and success, my brothers!

There is a lot of Garbage on Udemy.

I give an honest review on a really bad hacking course.Which had been published on Udemy,at least twice before.The instructor had even use an avatar of a male model.

The Model's image was all over the internet as a stock image.

What did Udemy do?

Removed my review.

What's not shocking to me is that courses "teaching" something like "complete" programming in under 1 hour tend to be duds or filler material. Definitely spam and false advertising.
