The market, and why this works now
The rise of TikTok-style short videos has shifted consumer behavior towards more engaging and humorous content in learning environments. A viable first-revenue move could involve launching a targeted campaign on educational subreddits like r/learnprogramming, where users seek engaging learning methods. One risk is the reliance on social media algorithms for visibility, which can be unpredictable and may require continuous investment in content creation to maintain engagement.
