If I remember correctly, course publishers only get a significant amount of money if people buy them through their links and virtually nothing if they discovered them through the platform.
Edit: Here's the revenue share page: https://support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/articles/229605008-Instru...
This weird revenue share model along with the "This is 96% off, only today, even though it's never been sold for the stated original price" dance is why I will avoid Udemy at every chance I get.
Is it possible to get this course in any other way?
