Why is there no good way to search for elective classes?

Hey everybody, as the inaugural post, I was wondering if you could give me some insight into an idea that I recently posted about on our TikTok account (@areyouinterestedco). 

Basically, I was recently searching for some elective classes to take, and there literally wasn't any way to browse classes. There was no easily searchable or filterable way to look through the classes my school offers. You have to know exactly what you're looking for, or manually look through every single available class.

The idea is: someone should make a RateMyProfessors-esque site, where you can search through every class and section that your school is offering. You could also collect reviews from students that have already taken the class before so you know what you're getting into. What do you guys think of this idea?

Obviously the main obstacle would be curating the info for this database, followed closely by actually monetizing it.
