But where does this information come from? Of course, from the world's top experts. Of course, because in many cases you can only make "guesses" about the author's background. This is a problem in some media more than in others. If someone gives incorrect information in a forum, they will probably be corrected by another user. But in a video with comments disabled, there is no other source of information than the author.
The Internet spreads both information and misinformation:
This is one of the potential problems with searching for training on the Internet. It is as useful for spreading correct information as it is for spreading incorrect information or information based on assumptions.

But not only experts publish on the Internet. Everyone publishes. And not everyone has any qualms about presenting their unsubstantiated opinions as if they were undeniable facts. And these incorrect opinions spread, and the more they spread, the harder it is to distinguish them from the truth.

The difference is that online training must be taught by an expert in the subject. In fact, the teacher is required by law to know both the subject he teaches and how to teach it .
A tutor may know a lot about a topic but not be able to explain it. Or he may sound very convincing but have no real experience in the subject. But an online teacher must have at least methodological training, as well as training and experience in the subject he teaches. And in addition to that, he must have at least taken a teaching accreditation course for distance learning.
