They are bloody charging me out of my… They are bloody charging me out of my pocket till I submit, bend the knee and bow down like dog. It’s a a fraudulent company people, beware! Once your in, your forever locked in. They won’t let you leave! There is no option to cancel subscription, the instructions look straightforward but really it’s just misleading. They never wanted you to leave. There should be a clear bloody visible bottom that says “cancel subscription” but they purposely erased it from their website and app. It’s now become apparent to me that there are thieves running this company. Every company has their fair share of shady business practices but boy, oh boy, masterclass is bloody unreal. You’ve pretty much sold your soul financially and emotionally.

Scam avoid at all costs Scam avoid at all costs. Great marketing to make you sign up but the classes are just awful. Zero informative. Just talk about themselves. Requested refund but just ignored at the minute. If I could give zero stars I would.

Woke Overload I found a few classes I loved, by people who are top notch at what they do and terrific at teaching it. However just a few. Masterclass is shamelessly "woke" - and I'm saying this as someone who's never been a conservative or voted Republican. MC offers a class on how to succesfully perform womanface (how admirable!), a class from Bill Clinton, and others from luminaries across the corporate media and academic liberal spectrum. Not a single thought leader who has a background or viewpoint that incompatible with predominant woke ideology. The few classes I liked weren't ideological at all, just great teachers.

Beware the gift that keeps on taking! A couple of years ago we were gifted a masterclass subscription. We were not particularly interested but apparently signed up for a couple of courses that we never viewed. To sign up we had to enter a credit card and for three years were charged $180/year though we never used the service. The charges hit at the first of the year and - our bad - we did not review the cc statements and the charges were included in same statements as our holiday spending. This year we saw the charge, challenged it and Masterclass refunded this year's charge and canceled the auto renewal. Masterclass refused to refund the prior years' charges.

The masterclasses are like bitesize… The masterclasses are like bitesize info documentaries with only top-level information. Its ok but you are not going to get real detail, very light touch. I think if Masterclass were confident enough to give customers a taster course, they would probably get better reviews because their audience would be more aligned. It’s very magazine style that alludes to more meaningful content. Guessing that’s the need for the lack of transparently and gotch on renewal charges after a years signup. Sadly not for me.
