Yeah it can be hard. As a self-taught hobbyist I've found a mix of university courses (not whole curriculum, just pick and choose and don't feel bad fast-forwarding over some of the math theory), books (art of electronics, practical electronics for inventors), and high quality youtube channels (eevblog, phil's lab, robert feranec, microtype engineering) to be a good way to learn.
Also eevblog forums are great. I don't post much but just reading through the discussions you get a lot.
My greatest annoyance is the flood of very low quality Arduino tutorials everywhere that polute the search results. Not to be ungrateful, Arduino got me into the hobby, but if you just learned about resistors last week the world doesn't need your blogpost on how to connect it to a breadboard.
You probably know about this already, buy in case you missed it: The Arts of Electronics is a wonderful book on electronics, starting from zero, ending up at bachelor level EE.
I was introduced to the second edition (silver) when I attended college in the late 90s, and have later upgraded to the third edition (gold). It also has a companion book with more exercises and lab experiments.
For everyone that wants to learn EE, it is highly recommend. Just beware: there are fake copies for sale on Amazon, so be sure you get a genuine copy.
