Instructors Deserve Better I felt I was treated Unfairly by UdemyI’m writing this review as an instructor who tried to follow Udemy’s guidelines, asked fair questions, and ended up being shut down for it.I was given 14 days to either sign an affidavit or edit my course, but before that time had even passed, my course was banned. I then received a message suggesting I “unpublish” the course, even though it had already been disabled. The logic is baffling.What’s worse is the total lack of transparency. I simply asked: what part of my content is considered infringing? I received no response. No details. No explanation.Just a ban. How can an instructor fix something when we aren't even told what’s supposedly wrong?It felt like I was being punished and shut down just for wanting to understand and improve. As instructors, we are told we are responsible for our content, fair enough but how can we take responsibility without basic communication from Udemy?This has left me feeling silenced, disrespected, and shut down. I invested time and heart into my courses, and instead of support, I was hit with automated decisions and no answers. I poured time, energy, and passion into my work. For Udemy to not only disable one course, but ban everything I had published,without explanation,is incredibly disheartening.If you are a course creator thinking of working with Udemy ,beware. There is little recourse, and once they make a decision, you are out. No proper dialogue, no transparency, no chance to correct anything.Instructors deserve better.
