Course creators are incentivized to add quantity not quality of content. 'Become a web developer from scratch' is ~40 hours of mostly shite content and it has sold tens of thousands on Udemy.

Most people don't take their courses so content doesn't really matter.

Udemy is a flash sale coupon course platform. Some people do actually learning on it but not very many.
