Don't know what Skool is and was I was a bit hesitant in clicking this. Still not interested but clicked for your analysis and it didn't disappoint. I ENJOED your chain of thought, EXCELLENT explanation. and GREAT video overall. GLAD I clicked.

Thank you so much Hamed, I spent 10h yesterday for this 10min video but I really wanted to explore the current landscape of the platform. I am glad I found some interesting highlights that you liked. Thanks for giving the video a chance and leaving such an encouraging comment.

Hi Hamed, do you mind if I ask you what the reason is of you not signing up to the skool platform? Are you learning and using R yourself but prefer to study it in a different way? You can be totally honest, I just want to understand what potential barriers people have to joining my group. Also would you know someone that might be interested in learning R in a small group and would join me on skool?

​@@TheDataDigest Hey Torsten, I am not using R at all, and that is the only reason. I primarily use Python and SQL. I follow your channel because of your thought process and analysis where it's both intersting and have transformable skills where R is only a tool and I am mostly interested in the results and final findings. And to be fully honest I would say your videos target very niche number of people. for example I found your channel after I got recommended your video about Title Tuesday which I know and follow as a chess player but the majority of people does not. also with this video you are targeting people who know and use skool which is a platform i never herd of, general people will skip these as they don't understand what the video is about. Not to mention that you already targeting a niche community who are interested in Data analysis. Maybe I would have considered it, if it was more general such as "Data Analysis" rather than focussing on R.

@@hamedrajhi Wow! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me in such a detailed way. It is really helpful. Firstly, Python and SQL is bad ass. It means you manage a lot of data and analyze it in a very solid way, respect! I appreciate why you watch my videos and take it as a compliment :). And everything you mentioned about my niche is definitely food for thought. I will consider making videos that might be more general about analysis frame works regardless of the actual programming language/tools. There might be an entirely new market I could add value to. But also, my most viewed video has >40k views and ~6k people visit my videos per month. So I hope there are at least 100-200 people that want to join my skool community to improve their R skills with me. But again, thanks for making me think about how to better attract them. Have a great weekend!

@@hamedrajhi The next video will be about web-scraping in general but I will use skool again as the target of the data gathering. So it should be interesting to people that want to learn web-scraping regardless of the target url. But I will explain again, what skool is used for and raise awareness.

This is brilliant! Good job 👍

[@TheDataDigest]

Thank you. I will post it in the two communities you mentioned with some good screenshots.

[@KathrinHamann]

Danke für deine tolle Analyse, auch deine Erklärungen sind sehr gut nachvollziehbar. Dein Englisch ist ausgezeichnet. Großartig. Freue mich auf deine eigene Community!

[@TheDataDigest]

Danke für das Lob und den lieben Kommentar. Ich hatte Glück, dass mein erster Chef Kanadier war und auf der Arbeit fast nur English gesprochen wurde. Also die Community gibt es schon (siehe Link unten), also wenn du joinen möchtest oder sie jemanden empfehlen kannst wäre ich dir sehr dankbar.

Dear sir, Thankyou so much, your videos are very helpful to learn data visualization in R. NEED HELP: I want to make a graph in which I want to show, percent of income spent and saved which totals to hundred percent for males and females by country. I've tried several ways but am not able to do that. Kindly help. For example; suppose there are five countries. In each country males and females spend some percent of their income and save the remaining. I want to show what percentage of income is spent and what is saved for males and females for each country. So, as per my requirement, the countries will be on the X axis and each country will have two stacked bars; one for male and other for females. Please help me how we can do that in R software. Kindly make a video and upload it. I've searched many videos on KZbin but didn't find any.
