Actually we had the same problem and we trying to create a platform called Jooseph, which is basically playlists for learning. You can follow modules curated from different resources.
Like you said there are a lot of great youtube courses out there.
So at Jooseph you can follow curated list of resources from different channels such as medium, youtube or podcasts anything valuable. Also, any user can create his/her own list for share or just to store it.
We are at Public Beta right Now you can try free from; https://jooseph.com
Which was the same half a decade ago except they just sold another $50M worth of shares and will keep doing this for another half a decade.
Occasionally there are some gems. But yes like others have said I have gotten more value from free youtube courses in the last 2 or 3 years. Udemy courses have more so pointed me in the right direction, introduced me to concepts that improved my search strings to find what I really needed to know. I'm fine paying for that. I find that Udemy is really an incentive to learning how to funnel viewers to your own sites where you can still host on Udemy but they take less of a cut.
