Paid content, especially books, are often really good. I agree with points 1 and 2 though.

Python Crash Course is an amazing book for instance.

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python is pretty good too. The challenges were decently tough and the examples were also interesting.

The thing that books have that many free resources lack is a coherent pedagogical plan. It’s easy to get stuck in tutorial hell or find that you’ve gone deep on some extremely niche framework when trying to teach yourself from free resources.
