Granted it could support it all along but, for a time, people wanted to see what the fuss was all about at the Big Platforms. I'm glad that bloggers kept blogging and that talented writers, old and new, are still going at what I consider my favorite part of the internet since it's modern inception in the 90s.

Notion templates, and general interface, guides people into presenting information in a fashion that doesn't follow the utilitarian manner and standard practices of business centric software like Microsoft Office.
Also, there's been a trend to "back to the basics" in information dissemination lately. Newsletters and static site generators have been making a comeback. In design, boutique firm architects I've spoken to have told me they've been moving away from fancy auto CAD renditions of projects to hand made watercolors and sketches.

A YouTuber (Jake in Motion) made a series of videos demonstrating every effect and tool in AfterEffects. They aren't deep but it's a fantastic resource to get you started.
I just wish this had been around when I needed it. Hats off to MIT for providing the same to others.
