Abstract
Abstract:MasterClass, the online-learning platform, would probably not exist without a culture shaped by meritocratic mythology. It's not college but something better—video lessons without the burdens of student loan debt or the awkwardness of dorm life. Nobody earns a degree from MasterClass, which sells individual subscriptions for $180 a year, but credentials aren't really the point. MasterClass supplements the grind of work and life with a certain egalitarian flourish. Here, anyone can learn to succeed. Anyone can sit down in front of their computer and watch a video. Anyone can improve themselves.
