Spent $200 on a Udemy course that was just someone reading the docs out loud

I bought this 'Complete Python Bootcamp' because it had 50k reviews and a 4.5 star rating, but the guy literally spent 3 hours just scrolling through Python's official documentation and reading it to me. I felt like I got scammed since I could've read the same stuff for free on a Saturday afternoon. Anyone else fall for a course that was basically just a paid recap of free resources?

So I actually noticed the guy teaching my course had a GitHub repo with the exact same projects from a free YouTube series he made 2 years earlier. The only difference was he added some fancy animations to the slides. Paid $150 for "exclusive content" that was literally just his old free stuff repackaged. At least now I check if instructors have a YouTube channel first before I buy anything from them.

Park.iris you just COMPLETELY changed my mind on paying for courses.
