Before You Decide
Playlists don't have quizzes, don't track progress, don't pull videos from multiple channels into a sequence, and don't give you a certificate. A playlist is a list. This is a course.
The videos are still free. What costs money is the structure around them: modules in the right order, quizzes built from the content, progress that follows you across devices, and a certificate at the end. You could piece all of that together yourself. Or you could have it built in minutes.
They're yours. Permanently. Every certificate you earned stays dated, valid, and shareable whether you're still subscribed or not. Cancelling doesn't touch anything you've already completed.
Install it from the Chrome Web Store. When you're on any YouTube video, click the YouVersity icon to save it to your library. Once you've saved enough, turn your library into a structured course. It's a second way to create courses: instead of typing a topic, you hand-pick the videos yourself.
The opposite. Videos stay embedded on YouTube. Every view in a course is a real view on their channel with their ads. We send them focused, motivated viewers who actually watch to the end. Creators keep everything they already earn, plus new traffic.
Probably not. Most people take two or three. At $9 a month, even one course is worth it compared to buying individually. The 30 is a ceiling, not a homework assignment.
