If I had a $50/month budget, this is how I'd spread it:
$10 - https://subscription.packtpub.com/
Are you interested in frontend?
$40 - https://frontendmasters.com/
Otherwise
$29 - https://www.pluralsight.com/
$10 - go for a random course on something I've never done
Courses I've (extra)enjoyed:
- 60% of Rust courses on Packt
- https://mastery.games/p/flexbox-zombies
- https://laracasts.com/series/learn-vue-2-step-by-step
Shoutout to Jeffrey from Laracasts, it's been years since I've taken his Vue class, and I don't use Vue anymore, but the calm, straight-forward way he explains things stuck in the back of my head. When I have to teach something, I try to be Jeffrey.
Packtpub has been the best resource for my area of interest. It should take one a really long time to run out of free resources and into buying subscriptions. There are few good courses, that are not inflated with BS to increase their length.
When I find a course I'm interested in, I pirate it. If I consider it got me enough value to justify the asked price, I'll buy it as well. More than 80% don't.

Sorry for the bad formatting and the non-clickable links, it's just the way it is on HN.
How do you like Pactkpub? Seems like it's a hit and miss situation. Some contents are good, some are not so good. They churn a lot of books though and some of them are niche (which is good).
I go for video only, maybe that's why my view is skewed. Many of the books are very Udemy-like quality (full of useless fluff), and I generally try to avoid books.
