Last week, Amy Porterfield announced she’s shutting down Digital Course Academy, one of the most successful online course programs of all time. This isn’t drama—it’s data. And it confirms what we’ve been seeing quietly happen for the last three years.

In this episode, we break down why online courses no longer sell the way they used to, how AI and information overload changed buyer behavior, and what people are actually willing to pay for in 2026.
