Let me chime back in here since I brought up paid courses. When I say paid courses I did NOT mean courses offered by a platform that sells paid content. Especially Masterclass. I don't want to learn from a celebrity. I want to learn from someone normal with a passion for what they have learned and want to share it with the internet in a genuine and authentic way. In that spirit, I am talking about independent teachers, generally authors, professors, researchers who have dedicated lots of years to acquire expertise. They sell courses not because they need the money, but because its passive income and simply worth it.
