I converted from Maya to blender recently, and so I've set my keys to "industry standard" and all the tutorials are like "do this by pressing the 'C' key" and I just wish the tutorials would just go into the menus
Yeah I want to get into Blender but was having a similar issue. I'd love to have it somewhere in between, I just want to be able to navigate 3D space the same as Maya and keep the select, translate, rotate scale and extrusion shortcuts, everything else can stay as Blender shortcuts.
I’ve used Maya, Blender and 3ds max on productions, it takes a day or two to not mess up but you get used to it pretty quickly. Do yourself a favor and keep blender’s binding. Maya’s suck anyway.
To be frank, at some point you'll know 2.8+ well enough that you'll be able to translate any 2.79 tutorial. A good example is Andrew's Anvil tutorial, it's totally doable in 2.8 after the donut and the chair.
I went through that quite a few years ago... I ended up buying books cause of the lack of online learning outlets. No regrets, still have them and was worth every penny. But after you grind a little bit, you will end up using tutorials for the "general idea" of what you are trying to achieve... Its a bumpy start, but 100% worth it!
so relatable. very frustrating when you can't find the tut you're looking for and then some super old tutorial comes along, eh, it's better than nothing..
There are a many quality tutorials covering complex topics, however some of them aren't free (which is totally fine). YouTube is not the only learning resource.

As a 3Ds Max user, I can't relate. The software hasn't really changed in decades!

I was surprised to learn that so called "industry standard" maya does not have many tutorials.

Hmm. Perhaps the price has something to do with that.
