Spent $40 on a Python course that just confused me more than free YouTube videos

Yeah, paid courses can be a total scam sometimes.

For real, I dropped like $200 on a "make money online" course that was just recycled blog posts. The guy's big secret was basically telling people to start a course lmao. Felt so dumb after that.

Man that sucks and I feel your pain. It's so frustrating when you think someone actually has some real insight and it turns out they're just trying to sell you the same garbage everyone else is selling. $200 is a lot to drop on recycled blog posts, I'd be pissed too. The whole "the secret is to sell a course" thing is such a tired joke at this point, but it's not funny when you're the one who fell for it. You're not dumb though, these guys are good at making it sound legit until you actually look at what you bought. Hope you didn't beat yourself up too bad over it, we've all been there.
