This is silly. There is a ton of high quality free content on the internet. What matters is taking the time and putting in the effort to ensure that you're consuming higher quality content. Even wikipedia is worthwhile as a basic introductory or survey level overview for lots of different subjects (it's hard to know what to dig into and study in depth in some area without having a general understanding first). And there is absolutely a ton of excellent free material on youtube, of all places. Tons and tons of DIY and how-to videos. Woodworking, machining, electronics, knitting, sewing, cooking, the internet is a treasure trove of data. And some of the best educational content on linear algebra and calculus in the Universe at any price is on youtube for free (from 3blue1brown). Overall this critique strikes me as generationalist and classist.
