Sololearn Pro?

the Sololearn community has been a great place to learn code. But with the commercialization of it I'm afraid we are seeing it's decline as a comprehensive free source for learning. What are your thoughts as users and community members? Let the administrators and developers know how you feel about it

I don't see anything wrong in adding commercials to Sololearn. Is a way to help Sololearn provide a better experience for Us Users. See this Question: https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/1471285/?ref=app

As far as I'm concerned, the "learning" part will remain free. The lack of pro features in a non-pro SL client does not inhibit your ability to learn at all. As has been pointed out, there has been a lot of discussions revolving around this topic. Please channel your thoughts directly to SL through the feedback option.

If I don't like it anymore, I go somewhere else.

I feel it's perfectly appropriate to raise this issue publicly. Though I understand your reservations.

How do I feel? I feel like this type of post is really just too common in the Q&A (when it should be in your personal feed) and it gets old quickly. Keep calm an code on people. If you have complaints or suggestions, you can use the Feedback option from within the app or e-mail SoloLearn directly at [email protected]. This will help keep the focus of the Q&A section on answering questions related to learning how to program.

@janning You want to know what gets old quick? Ads, pay services and censorship. I agree with Paul Jacobs. if I don't like it, I go somewhere else. I'll be concentrating on contributing to Open Source Projects. and yes this post is public because I'm encouraging you to do the same. If you love Sololearn, more power to you. I used to feel the same way

James Watkins SoloLearn is a private entity. If SoloLearn chooses to, it has the right to censor. If it chooses to, it has a right to charge for its services. If it chooses to, it has a right to advertise for other companies on its platform. There are simply more appropriate ways of letting your concerns be known and more respectful of the Q&A audience than to repeatedly protest in separate threads. Use the search bar, find the original thread, join forces with those guys, petition, etc. All duplicates are spammy, not just this topic, but this particular flavor of duplicate isn't something that has been presented as a genuine programming related question. It's a deliberate distraction from SoloLearn's goals, as I see it (because I don't represent SoloLearn as a whole. I'm just an active member in the community, love or not). But good on you for contributing to open source. You should spend more time on it making a positive difference in the world and less time circling this little bush. My opinion.
