'''[[wikipedia:Brilliant_(website)|Brilliant]]''' (also known as '''Brilliant.org''') is a website and app by '''Brilliant Worldwide, Inc.''' providing online courses. Despite the “.org”, Brilliant is a for-profit corporation backed by venture capitalists. Brilliant is most known for its advertisements on [[YouTube]], in which presenters who are known for their evidence-based points of view, for scrutinizing and refuting pseudoscience and scams, promote Brilliant.

<!-- The last edit entirely misses the point of the following image. This entire point of adding this image was to provide evidence of the claim that Brilliant has a “content team” instead of actual teachers and professors. The last edit also removes this claim despite the evidence. I'm not able to create a talk page because the captcha doesn't work, which is why I'm writing a comment directly on the page. -->

<!-- I understand the point of the image but I also don't consider it to be bad for a "content team" member to be doing a science experiment, as this does not prove Brilliant doesn't use scientifically sourced information. The content in the picture is an extremely easy experiment anyone can do. If you have evidence that they don't source information through scientific sources, please post it on the wiki -->

<!-- What do you think about my updated claim? I think it states a plain and basic fact about Brilliant without overstating it and without saying anything that's opinionated or needs additional evidence. Feel free to move the discussion to the talk page if you're excempt from the captcha that doesn't work. -->

Brilliant functions similarly to a mathematics textbook, but with buttons to click through to get to the next paragraph, and quizzes between paragraphs. Some of the illustrations have interactivity, in a lot of cases a slider that can be dragged around. These interactive elements make Brilliant appear to offer more than a traditional textbook. 

[[File:Brilliant_slider.png|thumb|The slider in the picture seems to provide no real challenge in solving it, merely needing to be displaced to solve the puzzle. ]]

Brilliant never promotes itself as being appropriate to a particular audience studying for a particular goal. Courses on Brilliant introduce basic concepts of each subject, but with no independent validation or accreditation for their efficacy.
