Except they aren't pay to play unless you consider doing the work for the course the "payment". There's certainly an exchange since there is a lot of work involved, but DLAI provides a team to help design, structure and polish the course and then the team creating the course does the majority of the work creating the content, but there's no financial exchange.
The DLAI team is also pretty good about ensuring the content covers a topic not a product in general.

The content is a repackage of previously existing, publicly available notebooks, docs, YouTube videos. I wouldnt be surprised if the repackaging was done by AI.

Courses are not academic journals, dude. They're supposed to be teaching you existing knowledge.

Again this is not true. I’ve known several people who have made courses for DLAI and they all put substantial time into creating the courses.
