Got a Pluralsight subscription for free through my university after graduation. I've found they are very good for training, meaning helping you understand how to use a specific tool or technology. Not as much for theoretical or high level CS like ideas, but more of I want to know how to program in lang X, using framework Y, or understand what I can do with the tech Z.

There is some of their content that is older. I worked with one of the original pluralsight authors they do require an audition and have a vetting process so it isn't just any random yahoo off the street who figured out OBS, generally the trainers are pretty knowledgeable.

One criticism I do have is that some of their content is a little bit stale, just keeping up videos and courses about how to program in Android from over 5+ years ago, or other tech that has changed rapidly.

I do love however how they create groupings of courses into "Tracks" that are intended to help go from basic understanding to conversational competence for an entire sector of IT, such as IS, Ops, Development, Cloud, etc.
