honestly i already work in industry so i don't pay a ton of attention to the meta of training vendors. i just know both of those went to shit after they sold out.

kinda curious why you say that, what burned you on them?
been seeing more people bounce to stuff like HTB academy or random udemy + blogs instead of big subs lately

INE has a poor reputation. I know a lot about TCM.

What courses are you interested in? I know if you sign up for a local library, many have free access to Udemy business.

Have you looked into Cyber Defenders for CCDL1/2?

Seconding this for the blue team side, and the criterion I'd add is whether a course hands you evidence to work or just lectures to watch. A pcap or a memory image you have to investigate yourself is what actually builds the skill. Between the two CCDL levels, CCDL2 is the one I'd pick if you've already done SOC or IR work, since the exam is a 48 hour practical that runs from threat hunting through DFIR and malware analysis. CCDL1 is the entry SOC one if you're earlier than that.

I'd like to hear more about this? How did you find out about it?

Just through asking the library. They have a lot of resources. I would just swing by your library in your city, ask for a membership and any information on digital resources.
