I actually went the opposite.

At some point I realized I was watching Pluralsight courses and declaring success because I finished the last video and therefore I was leveled up in that thing.

Quizzes on Udacity stuff and Coursera courses (especially Odersky's Scala one) often catch me cheating where I realize I had drifted and missed the information I'm being quizzed on. I'll go back and watch the relevant bit thoughtfully and then be able to answer.

This is my experience too. Also I used to watch Coursera videos on Android App. But if I lose my position in a video, it was pain to figure out where I left off.

I like short videos cause much easier to recover where you left off from.

Also I am not a paying member of Udacity but seriously considering them for Android dev program.
