Why are Udemy Programming Courses so shitty ?

I found that most of the Udemy courses (web development courses specificially) are so shitty. They are all the same. Like web development, Why not making courses on how to make real $5000, $10,000 websites from scratch (I mean from design, psd to html, css, javascript, backend etc).

I have never seen any videos like that, but talking the same things over and over again (html, css, boostrap, jquery...... what is it, how to use it then move on to the next videos). Plus their website project looks ugly too.

After learning those courses, can people get jobs ?. Can they make their own beautiful websites ?. I doubt that.

Python for example, why not just make a dozens of small videos explains simple things then go straight to projects (from very small to big ones) which make people what know that they can create helpful things.

Yeah, I'm talking about the most reviewed, most rated courses. After buying a few courses on Udemy now I feel Freecodecamp is even better.

Udemy tuts are mostly made by common guys, common developers. If you want professional, well-made dev tuts, look into Plural Sight

Plus a lot of courses on Udemy are there to list build and upsell, nothing more.

try Lynda.com

Sure, but what's next ?. Learning the basic is the must but people taking courses are not for fun, they need for jobs or at least creating something useful.

Because they're are trying to 'make money online' instead of teaching programming.

From experience, you don't need courses that tell you how to create interesting projects of all different sizes - you can easily do that yourself.

If you want to learn how to build a $10,000 website, build one. It will probably not be amazing the first time, but the second time you'll do much better.

If you want to learn to automate with Python, build a webscraper. Build a social media bot. Pick something you're actually interested in and that might be able to make you some money and decide to build it.

So you'll say "I need to learn to code before I can build something".. that's wrong. You learn by having to solve hundreds of little problems in the process of building something. Next time you have to use the same libraries etc then you'll be familiar with them.

What most people new to coding mistakenly imagine, like I did, is that coders are geniuses that can pump out software just from the knowledge they have in their minds. In reality, all devs use tools like Stackoverflow constantly. Asking questions and researching how to implement specific things is a skill in itself, and probably the most important one that you will use the most as a coder.

Decide what you want to build, and use Stackoverflow and Google until you've built it. Afterwards you'll know 900x more than someone that went through an online course.
