Why do you think academic institutions are something to work against to? I'm in academia and here everybody is enthralled and really happy about the explosion of high-quality, freely available learning resources.

The only kind of complain that I have ever heard (and very rarely so) is because some of this material is supported by videos in a platform with shitty terms of service.

it's the bias that has to be worked against, not the institution
But who has that bias? Is it you? People in academia certainly not. It would be absurd. As if medical doctors and nurses would be against the education of the population for lifesaving techniques and for healthy eating.
> medical doctors > healthy eating

Wrong example, lol
