Its not "gatekeeping". Its called paying for a service. NIH is funded by US taxpayers. Youtube isn't- they need to pay for the servers; it isn't free, you know. You wanna pay someone else, feel free- vimeo, and a zillion

Didn't go to CMU, but I did take cs61 at Harvard extension last year ( https://cs61.seas.harvard.edu/site/2018/ ). It too had some self grading assignments (time bomb). Thoroughly enjoyed that class.
