In a word, no. I've joined most of them at one point, Ecademy being
the most recent, without it leading to any work. Maybe I'm not trying
hard enough, but it seems to me that the amount of time and effort you
have to put in, when you could be working and earning a crust, is
disproportionate to the rewards. That's my 2p, others may have
different opinions/experiences...
