Yeah... agree on Text based tutorials over video.
The most reliable resources are the official sites of each of the technologies that provide documentation including APIs. This holds for every techs, not only MERN.
I am sure the instructors from those courses learned from the official sites too.
Most of the official sites provide textual based tutorials from which we can copy paste the code snippet from the examples that we can quickly try and even use them as a starting template for a real project, right after we understand the concepts we are learning. This is something we cannot do with those video tutorials.
That is I always do whenever I want to learn new language, frameworks, libraries :

  • HTML, CSS, Javascript, Web API, HTTP from MDN
  • React, React Native, Angular, Vue, Laravel for PHP, Spring for Java, from their official sites
  • PHP, MySQL, Java tutorial (text based), from their manuals which can be downloaded from their official sites
  • Node.js, Express and other Node.js frameworks
  • other stuffs...
