Top Coursera Personal Development courses by Reddit Upvotes
Reddit is a social media and news aggregation website that ranks content based on a voting system. People worldwide post content (usually links, but also original content), and other users can “upvote” or “downvote” posts, pushing the most interesting content to the top.
It’s a place where you can find groups of like-minded people. Reddit calls these groups subreddits, and they cover different topics, including niche interests, politics, hobbies, and thousands of other topics people want to talk about.
Since its launch in 2005, the site has become one of the most popular social media sites with millions of monthly active users.
We've conducted analyses to find the best of Coursera from the depths of Reddit. This analysis has been conducted over 2.7 million Reddit upvotes.
