Indians teach good but don't teach on Youtube
By curious_2k21, 3 years ago, In English

I have noticed that the Indians are really good at teaching, but there are very few Youtube channels of coders in India who are Master or Grandmaster at Codeforces, after making 2-3 youtube videos many ones move to Unacademy which is a paid platform and only rich people can afford, and also even if some have enough money they won't go for learning by paying that huge money per month. So I feel like Indians are hanker after money, they already got a job that pays them lakhs rupees per month but even after that they just go to unacademy to teach! Why can't they teach on Youtube, more people will get to know you, more people will love you!!!

"Unacademy" is ****ing creepy, they call you right away if you watch some free content without having a subscription.

    Do you need to provide your phone number and agree to be called?

      The thing with Unacademy is that you can't watch any videos not even the free ones without being registered, and to register you need to give your phone number. And once they get your phone number, they call repeatedly for promotion and asking to buy courses which is quite irritating :( .

being personally in contact with the highest paid person, i could say that, amount is so high on per hour basis, that you cannot resist to join even if you are willing to teach for free, and the main point of this high payment is because they have user base or fame you could say, this people have collected over years of teaching and self advertising on linkedin.
teaching is secondary factor for unacademy, they want unacademy to become brand so they hire more famous people, also their interviews are little biased towards high rated people for the same reason. i dont know how are they trying to recover that kind of investment as people in the premium classes are very low, and in my personal opinion, there are enough resources for free.

    I also have the same doubt! How they manage to pay that high amount! Let's say in our University, none of my friends or batchmates as per my knowledge, studies from paid resources !!!!

      you mean unacademy ??
      if yes then they have got huge funding and they have seen this huge potential growth as there is so large user base who want to learn cp.so there might be some cost recovery prediction model else who knows its bubble thats about to burst.

You shouldn't question decisions other people make for themselves. This is a "you" problem, it's your issue that you only want to learn/can only understand from specific people who don't want to teach on youtube. If you really want their service pay for it, beggers can't be choosers. Besides, there are so many resources already available for free for Competitive Programming to the point that this whole blog just seems like a big excuse.

Buddy study from CodeNCode. This guy is a gem. I feel he is a thousand times better than those people who are moving onto unacademy just for money. Eventually, after a few months, they will simply use their youtube channel for advertising and nothing else. But this guy has a playlist for every important topic in CP and even DSA.

    Yup, CodeNcode is easily one of the best (and most underrated) indian educational cp channel I've seen on Youtube. More people need to check out his channel (especially graph theory playlist)

A lot of work goes into making a video . If someone wants to get compensated for that , it's their choice .

Besides there are already plenty of good resources available for learning .

Well honestly that's just selfish, why would someone teach on you youtube for very little to no money when they can earn a respectable amount of money for investing their time on Unacademy. That being said yeah there's a huge amount of free content available on Unacademy, or for that matter all over the internet just use that.

I find it more shitty when I see influencers discouraging people from buying courses or joining something like Scalar and Similar classes and when they get famous with these kind of controversy they launch their own paid courses or join them . This is pathetic .

      No . I think he doesn't do that . You'll see a lot others if you are active on linkedin . PS : I am not pointing to any specific person .

How is people joining Unacademy affecting your learning? They are not obligated to Youtube. It is completely their choice.

    Nope, only me.

    But I don't "already got a job that pays them lakhs rupees per month", I'm a college student. And I made 97 videos not "2-3 youtube videos".

    So this post is about nobody.

I hope one day you will become GM/M and teach on youtube for free and reject every offer from Unacademy and all other educational institutions so that others won't face this issue in future.

No ones owes you anything. If you want to get good and someone is kind enough to teach that topic you take it and don't complain if it's limited. Are you teaching math on Youtube for example? No? But people will love you. Not only that, you're complaining that they decided to get paid of their work instead of doing it out of the kindness of their heart and what's wrong with that. No one should ever get hate for not doing something in detriment to themselves.

I never noticed any country to be better than others at teaching. Do you claim that an Indian teacher is on average better than a non-Indian? And I doubt that Indian masters are less likely to have a Youtube channel.

The above makes me question everything you wrote in the blog. But even if you were completely right, here's a simple explanation — the less your salary and opportunities in your country are, the more incentivized you are to get an extra freelancer-like income on the Internet.

    Same. I don't know how these people come to such conclusions.

    From my guess, their basis for saying this is probably just either

    1) They don't watch many non-Indian programming YTers, so they don't know anything.

    2) They're able to better understand English spoken by Indians because both of them will have the same/similar accent and mistakes in speaking (in general many technically wrong English sentences are used by Indians which is generally acceptable and understood, I'm sure it happens in other countries as well)

    3) Chauvinism

Why do people want free lunch? also there are enough high quality free content available if one is willing to learn.
