I would have mentioned this too :

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with releasing paid courses as it totally depends on a person if they want to enroll or not as long as it’s not compulsary to pay to participate or access editorials.
These courses will benefit :
- Beginners or any other person who seek guidance and professional help in getting into CP.
- Everyone who is enhusiastic about teaching and helping others, as it will be a source of income for them.
As long as I don’t find a need to purchase any course no amount of advertisement can make me do it.
As far as coaching and JEE is concerned, everything will eventually end up like the same if we choose to see it that way and believe in the hype.
And business is everywhere you need input to process and then output the result.

there will always be video editorials on youtube that someone would make so I don’t think that making editorial’s paid would be a good step they would wanna take.
Totally out of context I just wish they do not start giving Reservations in Coding competition:
Pun intended:)

when CodeChef announces something.
What do you expect from admin to reply here ?
I am not sure if this needs a reply. All the things that codechef was offering for free are free right now as well. If you liked codechef before then why will you not like it right now?
They are just adding new extra content which is paid. I hope you understand that creating a good quality content isn’t free either. I am not supporting or encouraging people to take or make paid courses. It’s up to you after all. You should decide if you want to pay for it or not. All the initiatives taken by codechef which were free before are still free to use. So I don’t see why are people behaving like codechef is forcing you to pay for giving contests or accessing editorials.

I would rather use both and give contests for free on both of them.

I’d agree to this and nobody appreciated the fact that now they also have included video editorials on yt.

Most of the comments have included everything that needs to be answered, what I feel is CP isn’t actually like JEE or UPSC and CAN NOT BE MONETIZED as the latter two were(through coaching)…because JEE and UPSC are prehistoric(laymen)…we didn’t have internet/youtube/quora back then and free guidance was only possible through individual interaction from “been there, done that guys”…but for CP…we had exactly the opposite, Free lectures came way before the paid courses.
In this post stone age period…programmers are smart enough to solve their bugs on google, I actually don’t see a point in debating hard about paid courses because they are already existing, but only a fraction of us are buying them. The real thrill of CP is in finding solutions without actually studying similar problems earlier and applying the same concepts again and again.

The platform isn’t really degrading. That’s a bit exaggerated.
