Is UPSC coaching becoming too personality-driven?

I was revising Economy recently and came across Vivek Singh’s book again. I think most UPSC aspirants who have done Economy seriously would have at least heard of it.
And then I randomly saw this — he has now started teaching at LevelUp IAS.
It actually made me think about how much the UPSC ecosystem has changed.
Earlier, you’d have a few standard books/sources and that was pretty much it. Now a teacher can start with a book, then YouTube, Telegram, test series, courses… and eventually their own coaching ecosystem.
Not saying this is necessarily a bad thing. If someone has actually spent years teaching and building good content, makes sense that they’d eventually build something around it.
But as an aspirant, sometimes I do wonder — how much of our teacher selection is actually based on teaching quality, and how much is just familiarity with the teacher’s name/brand?
Like, if you’ve already read someone’s book or watched their free content and then they launch a course, does that automatically make you more likely to trust them?
Curious what people here think.
Do you guys choose teachers based on content → teaching → results, or does the institute/brand matter just as much?

Mains notemaking together

So i have figured a way to make mains base notes looking at pyqs and themes. But the thing is that it takes a lot of time. Approx single gs takes around 1 month to make. And since notes making doesnt count for anything if you havent revise and tested it by giving test.

My plan is to give atleast 2 full length tests before jan 15. So looking for someone i can make notes with. Till i maks gs 2 notes, you can make gs 3. So approx 2 months we can get done with note making for all gs and then just focus on revising and tests.

I can show you sample notes i created on topic mentioned in syllabus. Do let me know if you are interested

Ps- Attached sample notes of poverty allevation prgramme. A SUBTOPIC OF POVERTY TOPIC

The moderator of this channel keeps deleting my posts or blocking me whenever I talk about career opportunities in AI for UPSC aspirants.

it feels like the ecosystem benefits more when aspirants stay stuck in endless exam discussions instead of exploring alternative careers and building new skills.

PSIR Study Material Available

Hello everyone! I’m Aditi from Jaipur, Rajasthan.
I’m looking to sell my PSIR study material by Shubhra Ranjan Ma’am, including the topic-wise books, PSIR notes, PYQ booklets, and a few toppers’ answer copies. Everything has been well-kept and would be especially useful for anyone currently preparing PSIR as an optional.
Due to some personal financial requirements, I’ve decided to sell my set rather than keep it unused.
If anyone is genuinely interested, please feel free to DM me. I’ll be happy to share pictures, details, and the price.
Would be really happy if these materials could be useful to someone else in their preparation.
