I finally bought a $150 online course on Python that turned out to be a total waste.

The lessons were just a guy reading slides and the code examples were full of errors. I spent a month trying to make sense of it before giving up and using free tutorials instead. Should beginners ever pay for courses, or is everything we need really free online?

Ugh, that's the worst! I got burned on a cheap web dev course that was the same, just outdated videos. What saved me was finding one specific free YouTube channel that did full project builds. Sticking with that one teacher who explained things clearly was way better than any paid stuff I tried first.

Finding a good teacher makes all the difference.

You said the free tutorials worked better, so why pay at all?
