Khan Academy has a problem lately:

Go visit a page like https://www.khanacademy.org/math/linear-algebra and count the number of:

  * cookie banners
  * donation panhandling modals
  * account signup widgets
  * gamification modals to tell you about leveling up
  * etc
It does not communicate that their primary goal is to educate, it feels more like the primary goal is fuelling the bureaucracy behind the charity.


To be fair, if they redid the linear algebra curriculum and included exercises, they could spin that up into a solid paid program.
