Hi Petra,
We’re glad to hear you’re satisfied and enjoying the wide range of content available. There’s always something new to explore, and we hope you keep discovering classes you love. Happy learning!
Too much ai nonsense
There's some useful gems here, but there's so much ai slop and marketing nonsense being pushed, I don't know if I can recommend it as being particularly useful.

Hi Tyrion,
Thank you for being so candid — we really appreciate it.
We’re glad you’ve found some valuable classes, but we understand how frustrating it is when you have to sift through content that doesn’t feel high-quality or relevant. That’s not the experience we want for you.
Your feedback about AI-heavy content and overly promotional material is important, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with the team. Improving content quality and helping surface the most meaningful classes is something we’re actively working on.
In the meantime, using filters, following trusted teachers, and checking reviews can help surface more of those “hidden gems” you mentioned.

I love learning new things with skillshare because I can use it anytime I want. Until now the only thing I can complain is that the teacher has the same comment for every student project, what make me feel that the teacher is not even looking at my work and it’s just a recorded message.

Review of Cake tutorials
Teachers are taking time to explain steps in cake decorating that is usually overlooked on youtube, not moving too fast

Hi Obiageli,
Thank you for sharing this! We’re really glad to hear that you’re enjoying the cake decorating classes and finding the step-by-step guidance helpful.
It’s especially great to know that the pace and attention to detail are making a difference—those often-overlooked steps can be so important when learning a new skill.
We’re excited to keep supporting your creative journey. Happy decorating!
Very disappointing experience
Very disappointing experience with Skillshare.
I was charged for a full annual subscription right away, which felt misleading. On top of that, I found very little relevant content for my interests.
I was initially offered a partial refund, but also the option of a full refund and cancellation. After I requested the full refund, I received no further response despite several follow-ups.
In the end, I had to dispute the charge with my payment provider.
Update: finally received the refund. Still a very unpleasant experience.

Hi J,
We're sorry to hear about your experience — we can understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been, especially with the confusion around billing, difficulty finding relevant content, and not receiving a follow-up after requesting a full refund.
That’s not the experience we want for our members. Your concerns about communication and consistency in support responses are valid, and we take feedback like this seriously.
We're eager to understand the issue you've encountered, as it doesn't meet the standard of experience we aim to provide for our members. Please don't hesitate to contact us at help@skillshare.com.

Extremely deceptive pricing
Extremely deceptive pricing, will charge you $178 without knowledge of signing up for a year. Customer service is a joke, you will get the run around for a month, with the just copying and pasting and a bunch of “I understand your frustration” and “We’re sorry” but they will NEVER refund your money, almost like this company is going BANKRUPT soon.
