Paid $200 for a 'premium' online course that was just YouTube videos repackaged
Last year I signed up for a digital marketing course that promised insider secrets. Cost me $200 and I realized after three modules it was literally the same free content I could find on YouTube. The instructor just recorded himself reading blog posts. Has anyone else wasted money on a course that turned out to be nothing new?

Spent $150 on a "social media growth" course and it was just screenshots of other people's successful posts. Could have learned more from a single afternoon on Reddit.

Respectfully gotta disagree with you on this one. Plenty of those courses are definitely just recycled info you could find for free, but $150 for a curated collection of what actually works is a fair price if it saves you weeks of trial and error. Reddit is a goldmine for tips but you have to dig through a hundred bad takes to find one good strategy. A solid course cuts through that noise and gives you a clear path, even if it's just screenshots and examples. I've spent way more on coffee than that and got way less return. Sometimes paying for convenience and structure is worth it.
