> Also, people won't bat an eye at paying $40k, $50k, or $60k for 1 year at a university

I'm European, I paid 500 euros per year, and that included laboratories and everything.

I really don't understand your argument here. Just because you think it's a fair price doesn't mean it's a good price for me.

FYI I used to spend 40/50$ per hour of algo and ds lessons in the past, or I pay 20$ for french classes and a similar price for chess lessons, all of those over zoom/teams/meets.

I'm not against paying for education, but I don't see the value of a 30$/month membership to do these courses.

Your education was heavily subsidized by the state. The government version of $0 (500 euro/yr) cost supported by ad revenue (taxpayers).
