of course it would, if I needed the basics :) I will keep this handy for someone who does need it, thank you!

There are also more specialized courses available, so you might find something that aligns with your interests! 
The deeper you dive into a specific topic, the harder it will be to find something of satisfactory quality on platforms like YouTube. (which might be a rather banal observation, but it serves to point out that the enshitification you noticed is not an isolated case)
