But like why not go to the real sorces directly in the first place? Why add unnecessary layer that doesn't really add anything?

I do go to the real source first. But sometimes, I just need a very simple explanation before I can dive deep into the topic.

My brain sucks, I give up very easily if I don't understand something. (This has been true since way before short form content and internet)

If I had to say how much I use it to learn, I'd say it's about 30% of the total learning. It can't teach you course work from scratch like a real person can (even through videos), but it can help clear doubts.
