I often go through these "amazing courses", everything makes sense, everything works, and then I'm unable to do anything other than what the course showed. So, I'm still forced to spend some hours outside of the course to really learn. This 2-hour-course vs 10-hour-learning is a false dichotomy to me.

YMMV. I chose 'materials' instead of courses specifically since I've found books to be more useful. A course, or any kind of structured learning, is just a foundation. I would still expect to spend hours outside of the course, but with a good background I can now search for more specific things than if I had started w/ a blank slate.
