Paying the subscription for The Great Courses is absolutely insane value if its something you use regularly. Its not a credit system like Audible, its literally unlimited streaming of university level courses for 20$ a month (or like 12$ if you pay annually). The individual courses can cost upwards of 100$ so even if you only take one course every two months you still haven't lost money.

It's infinite learning, i cant shill hard enough.

You bet! It's even better if you have a braindead job like I do, then you can spend all day learning and getting paid for it.

Youtube and OCW have infinite amounts of that, why pay some company?

Because they don't want to sift through tons of garbage to find the good stuff. I presume.
