Lauren Bateman explains that selecting appropriately-leveled tutorial videos can be difficult because labels (e.g., “beginner”) are often inaccurate. Viewers may feel inadequate when a supposedly beginner video is actually advanced. Bateman contrasts this with paid courses, which offer step-by-step plans, downloadable materials, and workbooks that better match learners’ needs.

At the end, you're just looking at these suggestions and you don't know if the next video you're going to pick is going to be the right video for you, where you're at your skill level. Sometimes something says it's for a beginner, but it's really not. You go and watch and you're like, well, they said this was a beginner and I must really suck because I can't do this. And that's the difference with buying a course. So people want the step by step plan, they want the downloads, people want the workbook.
