I'm new to the community and hoping this could be the place for these vague and broad reaching questions that I have as a semi-new React dev.
I taught myself React—like so many others—through youtube. Through my long journey I've found that really great teachers are hard to find. With great teachers I mean people who not only know how to write the code to get it working, but also are good at explaining why, putting the concepts into context, what happens when it scales, pitfalls and future problems..
I want your tips! What's your fav youtube channel/teacher or blog? Where do you go when you what to spend 2 hours really getting the basics, and not just "10 min and copy the code"?
I can start (it's not a long list...):
Kent C Dodds has a lot of great articles about different things in React. However, there is also some videos about react on the freecodecamp's channel on youtube. Personnally, I don't like watching videos but I read a lot of articles about diffrent issues and new things on medium or I look for the issue on stackoverflow. There are also some videos on DevTips made by mpj and his friend David.

Although this resource is not free I highly recommend Frontend Masters. Kent C. Dodds has a great course on Advanced React Patterns and Testing with React.
I also receive newsletters from JavaScript Kicks, Frontend Focus and Medium.
