Oh, one other exception as others already pointed out, conference talks are also very good. Though I think they miss the heart of your question (I could be wrong).
BTW, I'm not disagreeing with you at all as I too agree. I'm just wondering what things you also see as missing.
I find most user content is focused on the introductory level, which makes sense if you are attempting to appeal to the largest audiences for income (so not faulting anyone). I often see content on data engineering but most just define "data engineering" and at most talk about things high level Hadoop, Spark, etc. and do not provide any examples/patterns of working with data that is even close to representative to what I do in my day job. The same is true many other technical disciplines too. With a couple notable exceptions on some security topics (such as demonstrating certain exploits), and some hardware topics -- such as Ben Eater's great work (https://eater.net/)
