>> need to pay for questionable courses

You're absolutely wrong here and without backing it up with strong justification.

FWIW, I work at a FAANG as a HW/SW GPU Engineer, have enough experience to not have any need to do this course but did so to confirm it's appropriate and found it of top notch quality. We don't have enough GPU engineers and recommend this as one of the initial courses when we hire from other domains.

I have done both. Personally, I've found the the pikuma.com course to be extremely more valuable and more in-depth.
The author of this course is among the best professors I’ve had back in university, I’m happily surprised to see his work shared here
That course was posted just yesterday, in case you are interested in the discussion about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49022038
