I think HN should be interested by that Coursera today requires reCAPTCHA passing to log into. That filters out some browsers or extensions.
Also at least some courses are paid-only - initially there were plenty of free courses. For example, even if you don't want a certificate for Deep Learning specialization, just to view videos require you to enter a credit card and agree to some dim conditions probably drafted by lawyers (and expected to be read by non-lawyers).
Coursera was great initially, with well taught courses. Now it's more of a gated community, much worse IMO than it used to be. Hope there are better offerings elsewhere.
