Did you like it? Was it easier then being in a classroom?

I teach both online and traditional college courses. Most of my online students spend more time learning the material than my in class students. For some of them, the extra flexibility is worth it. The successful online students spend time reading and understanding the textbook and they work ahead.
I’ve taken online classes, and depending on the class it can be easier, but it can also be harder. It just all depends on the class you choose and the requirements made by the professor. A lot of the professors for my online classes didn’t spend much time on their online class so not as much work was given, and I feel like they were a bit lazy towards the class. Again, I think it all depends on a lot of things on whether online is more difficult or not. For some, it can be more difficult because you have to be good with time management, and there’s not nearly as much hands on help compared to in class. For some test/exams are required to be taken on campus making it no easier just more convenient as far as the class goes.
I have taken a class or two. One professor taught me decades ago a lesson that led to a career very successful (and I hope you will take note of this)

No, I signed up for an online class once, but I ended up dropping it before it started. I think it would have been easier for me because I could do the work any time I wanted.

It's good, you just book tutorials so you can work around your schedule.

It was a combination of live television and phone back in the early 90s.

I teach online post-graduate studies. My students love it.

No. I considered it once, and may still do so at some point.

No, they hold no worth. No one accepts those as degrees.

It can be great but highly depends upon the class and the professor. Not having good access to some professors can be tough. Getting group assignments with people who you have trouble catching up with can suck.
