When I set out to get certified in different areas, I was at a loss since I needed many different certifications. The books and practice test manuals were beyond my purchasing range. Udemy offered a huge library that I could access anywhere from my phone or laptop. Didn't matter if I was on a flight to London or a quick trip to California. To date, I have not had any issues with their site being inaccessible. Purchasing courses and material is safe and simple with an easy and intuitive workflow from searching for courses to selecting payment to completing the transaction. Their customer service is superb to work with as they are able to answer all manner of questions pertaining to the service and issues that may arise.

After reading some of the political pieces, I laughed at them harder than I laugh at MSNPC and Chump News Network. The leftist bias is outright in-your-face and has no apologies for stilting and even misrepresenting stories. On top of that, their support for even the most degenerate of figures like Josh Marsh, Dylan Mulvaney and Rose Montoya is appalling. There are some funny pieces on there like the garbage advice they give which is so bad, it's comical. LifeHacker is another Buzzfeed with extra cringe thrown in because why not.

This site has becoming increasingly fascist in its dealing. First off, accounts are required to be migrated to the Web3 system. The problem with this is that YOU CAN'T CREATE ACCOUNTS! MeWe will either immediately suspend the new account or outright ban it after verification. On top of that, logging in requires you check your email for a link that verifies your account rather than using a password. They have completely done away with passwords. Upon logging in, these clowns will always throw you a popup that you can't click off of. It begs you to support their service with buying crap off them like a "verified" badge, junk stickers / emojis and their laughable VoIP option (which disconnects, cracks, mutes, or outright doesn't work at all) among other things. Their layout must have been designed by an ape high on crack because it's scattered, ugly and the functionality is a joke. Unless you're running a system with 32+ GB of RAM or are on mobile, the chats will eventually consume system resources and bring that system to a halt. On desktop, chats will fail to load previous comments anywhere from hours old to days old. Searching for comments pull results from months or even years back, but nothing that was posted within the past hour or even day. For the most egregious part of the site, small comments that are viewed as "attacks" and "microaggressions" as well as political opinions that are not favorable are attacked and the mods will side with the reporter. Once an account is banned, the system prevents creating new accounts. MeWe once touted that a jail system like what Facebook has, but numerous people have reported in that the jail system was implemented for a short time and completely disabled afterwards; MeWe outright bans people without giving any proper reason other than nonsense like "harassment" which could be someone not agreeing with a political opinion or simping for the transgenders advertising their OnlyFans (which MeWe refused to do anything about despite it being a violation of ToS.) Additionally, there has been bragging by reporters that they report from multiple accounts to silence others if feelings are hurt. While MeWe is rabid about preventing people from recreating accounts, even when wrongfully banned, they refuse investigating the source of where the reports are coming from. Keep in mind that this site was launched in 2012 yet it still remains a piss-poor platform despite them touting a host of supposed awards for "development" of the platform. In essence, this site is a dollar-store version of Facebook with a PLETHORA of problems, a pathetic employee base (40 MeWe employees to handle the "millions" of users,) and a sad history of ongoing failure. Keep your family and friends away from this raging dumpster fire.
