This is true and very unfortunate. My response to this is that when I want to learn anything in-depth, I use textbooks written by experts (e.g. professors, industry experts often from the past). It's hard to verify the expertise of blog authors and SO contributors unlike the authors, and blog posts can often be more about self-promotion than sharing deep insights. Sometimes I even write to these authors asking questions and they actually respond. To some extent, old internet is still alive and beautiful. It's just buried under a lot of noise.
- jvans 4y agoAgree, textbooks are very underrated. The three blue one brown guy had one of the best tips for textbook selection that's been extremely helpful for me. He suggests that textbooks by single authors are the easiest to understand and in retrospect that matches with my experience. Multiple authors tend to refine the work to the point where it's 100% correct but explained in a way that only someone who is already an expert would understand.
