I was very unhappy with the instruction I received from masterclass. Maybe I'm an idiot but I actually thought it was going to be out of Mastery level and I was disappointed that a lot of the classes really only focused on introductory material. It's annoying because most educational material for any topic is introductory, particularly the kind that you find online. So it can be pretty hard to find Mastery level advice at a high quality level of instruction.



Does anyone expect to be pro by just following a course?


They excpect to receive wisdom and knowledge of a master, not to be a master themselves. MasterClass is really BeginnerClass, but that wouldn't sell.

Yeah so, if OP did not realize the scheme before he bought I feel sorry for him. Way back when I first heard of Masterclass it too k me a minute of seeing the homepage to figure out the scheme. But I'm well versed in startup bs. "Of course a startup would focus on the mass market beginner level material" even if it says master class on the box.
