Can we talk about that $50 Python course I bought that taught me nothing?
I got excited last month and dropped $50 on some "masterclass" Python course for beginners. It promised I'd be building apps in 2 weeks, but all it was was 12 hours of someone reading slides with bad audio. I didn't learn a single thing about loops or variables that I couldn't have gotten from a free YouTube video for $0. By week 3 I gave up and switched to a free tutorial on Codecademy, which actually made sense. Now I'm wondering if I should just ask for a refund or take the L. Has anyone else fallen for those flashy course ads with no real teaching in them?

Realized that same flashy ad energy is why I keep buying kitchen gadgets I use once.

@gray6 you nailed it. I bought one of those fancy spiralizer things after seeing a 30 second ad that made it look like magic. Used it exactly twice, and now it sits in the back of the cabinet next to the avocado slicer I fell for last year. That flashy ad energy is a trap, and I keep walking right into it.
