My 3 Valid Complaints about Udemy:(1) One Udemy Instructor who teaches courses in the area of psychic-mediumship-spiritualist-divination, etc. kept message bombing my message box with too many messages, like a telemarketing pest. How? Let me explain in detail. Most instructors just send you a welcome to the class message and after maybe one or two messages to remind you of the course: a direct link that [immediately opens up inside the course video], encouraging you to get started. Unfortunately, this extremely annoying instructor became a telemarketing pest in my Udemy message box, by sending 3-9 messages to my message box, for [a single course], always sending the same message link as a set of 3 repeating messages. For example, if you enroll in say 1 or 2, 3, 4 5 courses all at once, but haven’t started the courses, then every few days he’s going to message bomb you with a set of 3 repeating messages for each course, and then he’ll wait a few days and again, send another 3 set of repeating messages, and he will keep on doing this [until you start his course video], like a telemarketing pest. I planned to take 5 more of his classes, so if I’d enrolled in each and delayed starting them all in that week, he would have been message bombing my message box even more, until I start the courses. I paid for 3 of his classes, I got sick of his message bombing me for each course, I won’t be taking anymore of his courses. I paid for the course, so I decide when I start not him! Imagine if I enrolled in 5 courses and delayed by 2-7 days in starting, he would have been message bombing me with 45 messages on average, every few days in my message box, [until I start his course video], what a telemarketing pest. (2) Getting Refunded for a Course Purchased within 30 days that you never started or watched: Udemy expects you to pay them [immediately] for any course you enrol in, but they don't respect you enough in return with an immediate refund for a course. Yep, no customer loyalty.(3) The Courses on Udemy: There are some really interesting, quality, useful educational courses, but also there are courses on Udemy that have some instructors teaching amateur course content, which is extremely overly priced, and [some] instructors claiming to have the skill set and experience, but clearly have none. For example, a different instructor (female) claimed to be a psychic-medium, homeopath, offering a course in psychometry, but throughout the entire video she is talking (only) about her past psychometry readings using a photo, piece of jewellery, rose, and on an animal (a cat), etc, because in the video she is unable to do a basic live psychometry reading on any of the objects she is holding, even the cat that jumped up on her lap two seperate times in the video, she can’t even do a basic live psychometry reading on it. Big Red Flag! However, in her bio, the instructor claims to have 30 years of experience. Really? Ha-ha-ha! Obviously not in psychometry. Because any person who has well-developed psychometry abilities will be more than willing to do at least [one] live psychometry reading, she can't even do that! However, she claims to be a psychic medium with 30 years of experience. Ha-ha-ha. I’m so glad I only paid the discounted price of $18.01, for her psychometry course, usually at the regular inflated price of $79.99. Because you can watch youtube videos with professionals teaching and demonstrating [live psychometry readings for free]. Listening to her monotone, boring voice teaching her amateur psychometry course, only explaining her past readings, with not even one live psychometry reading was a waste of my money and time! This instructor, who obviously has limited psychometry skills, should be ashamed of herself for charging students a high price of $79.99 for an amateur psychometry course. Even worse, in her reply comment to me, the instructor's inflated ego was boasting about how many 5-star ratings she has for the obvious amateur psychometry course, ignoring her other 1/5 ratings and her [inability to do a basic live psychometry reading]. I won’t be taking any more of her courses. My $18.01 would have been better spent in the donation box for the homeless or on a psychometry course from a different Udemy instructor with well-developed psychometry abilities, which this instructor clearly lacks.
