TBH I had no idea most people thought of these platforms as being focused on tech content. I've enjoyed a ton of social science courses. I was a big fan of the MOOC model at the peak of its hype cycle for the possibility of opening up education from world-class universities to the masses

Coursera and EdX were the peak of that for me. Udacity and Udemy were definitely more industry-focused. Some universities had their own platforms like MIT Open Courseware. Class Central was a great attempt to aggregate courses across different platforms.
