I've found baeldung to be quite helpful actually. What do you not like about it? I understand what you mean though, I don't like the garbage programming-related articles from a lot of these sites you've listed. Even I as a newb developer have seen very poor advice or wrong info on w3schools, for example.

w3schools has come a long way since the days of w3fools. What incorrect info. do you see on w3schools currently ? I find it to be a decent source these days.

It's probably great when you're looking to fill some gaps but not when you're starting fresh and trying to wrap your head around some things. Many a times I've found the examples incomplete in the sense that yes, they work (usually) but just show me how, not why. Or maybe it's just the nature of the beast that Spring is. I've given up on Baeldung, I skip it when googling Java related stuff. But that's just my experience.
