Check out the Blender Secrets ebook. A fantastic resource of tips and techniques for working in Blender.

Well, that used to be the mainstream opinion until a few years ago, when a lot of computer education switched to videos. I blame DHH ;)

I blame monetization. You can make more on YouTube.

s/more/anything at all.
Monetizing written content was (and is) crazy hard, comparatively.
I'm delighted Apple is helping blender, I think it's a fantastic amazing project, and I have huge respect for all who work with it and make tutorials. I just want to learn to get better at it, quickly. I've found that I've got an unexpected barrier to entry to get my brain to work with its UI -- probably because I'm conditioned by earlier experiences -- and I don't think that I've been helped by having to watch videos with frequent pausing to see what modifier keys were pressed, with little ability to quickly randomly access the material afterwards.
