In a follow-up video, which is set for May 16 at 8:30 p.m., Warikoo promised to provide further information regarding the decision.
Social media users began to speculate on the announcement’s motivation as soon as it was made. “AI Impact?” was one user’s straightforward question about whether artificial intelligence had influenced the choice. “Huge” was Warikoo’s response to the remark.
Another user wrote: “Many course sellers pack up when a recession is upcoming challenging times force people to think rationally & ask questions. better hai pehle hi patli gali se nikal lo.” To which Warikoo responded with, “Samajhdaar ko ishaara…”
