I think the Udemy coupons are generally used as a way to boost the ratings. Give out coupons and tell people to rate your course 5 stars, then people see the well-rated course and buy it for real.

Given the number of terribly produced courses I've seen on there with excellent ratings, it wouldn't surprise me.
