Hi, Redux maintainer here - there is really no good reason to learn plain Redux in 2022. Please read Why Redux Toolkit is How To Use Redux Today

Also, just from going over the "Redux Toolkit" playlist, it seems to teach antipatterns like "bind action creators" and is missing more modern parts of Redux Toolkit like RTK Query.

Please just follow the official Redux Tutorial instead.

After going through the blog you mentioned....It is right that plain Redux is not recommended in 2022....they have mentioned for understanding what's happening in RTK under the hood.... it is necessary to understand Plain Redux what would you recommend for an absolute beginner with no prior knowledge on Redux?

No. It is "nice to know" but absolutely not necessary and for most people it is just an extra level of confusion. You can always learn that later.

Then you can tell them that the Redux team is recommending Redux Toolkit over legacy Redux since 2019 and if they have a legacy code base you will happily learn legacy concepts for them in your paid time there.

With the same argument, you could start learning React 0.14 or JQuery.
