StraighterLine offers courses that can transfer over to several universities and they are super affordable as well.

Yo, what's up with you and SL? They're okay but there are many other options out there as well!

Haha, do you really have to ask?  An account posts 8 times and ALL of them advocate for one alternative credit provider, some of them say not to use other providers, many also advocate for the academic partnership of that provider.  The account never asks questions and doesn’t engage with ANY other topics besides those pertinent to that one alternate credit provider. 

Let’s be real, accounts have been banned for a lot less. This person is just smart enough to change the verbiage a little bit to make it a little less obvious/a little more plausible this is actually someone trying to help others and be part of the community.

I do want to be fair here. As far as I am aware, SL doesn't pay anyone for stuff like this so a freelance spammer (who doesn't actually link to anything) is a tiny bit baffling. On the other hand, there are also newbies who get overly enthusiastic about new-to-them things and start spamming everyone about what they've just learned. I don't fault them for being excited about being able to get their degree, to be honest, but they should probably calm down. And they generally do calm down eventually.
