To be fair, America’s Test Kitchen is a treasure of cooking information, I really like their cookbooks because they explain “why” for their recipes from a technical standpoint, which helps to understand substitutions where necessary. Plus they explain all the testing they did on variations and results, which helps troubleshoot my own dishes. The Cook’s Illustrated Meat Book may as well be named the Meat Bible (for the home cook).
The streaming TV channel is also good at giving you the exact measurements missing from the online stuff, absolutely agreed. They’re just super aggressive with the paywall.

Buy the cookbooks, ignore the subscription BS.
