It's interesting how content discovery has remained ad-hoc despite the arrival of ed-tech platforms like Coursera or EdX. People still prefer to ask for best books, courses, podcasts, cheatsheets on Slack/Discord/Twitter etc.
I think this has to do with the conflict of interest. Any platform that creates its own educational content, necessarily becomes bad at content _curation_. For ex, 3Blue1Brown has amazing series on linear algebra and calculus but we don't find Coursera pointing to it.
- mileycyrusXOXO 7y ago3Blue1Brown made videos for Khan Academy for a while but ultimately decided to take his career in a different direction. He talks about it on the first episode[1] of the Numberphile podcast, which if you are a fan of 3Blue1Brown I'd highly reccomend giving it a listen.
