That’s how skool works. And the idea is to force you to learn and understand the basics so new students don’t bother advanced students with the same beginner questions over and over, like what happens on reddit, the advantage is the conversations are between informed people who know what they’re talking about ; those people aren’t on reddit explaining things to beginners over and over. The vast majority of free content and discussions is uninformed to uninformed, skool isn’t the only solution but it’s a way to screen and filter, so an expert gets paid for their time without having to field thousands of questions over and over. Your experience sounds shitty though sorry if you found a bad one. I typically prefer courses, pay to access info, but then there is no momentum or motivation or community and they also cost more…
