We usually know O'Reilley as that one annoying website that opens up with minimal information and a pointer to some chapter in some book of theirs that you need to buy to solve the question you asked

In all seriousness, people do know it exists but free/cheap online educational content is surprisingly accessible now so nobody really migrates towards textbooks anymore. Although I do admit that occasionally books have a lot of useful information that is very hard to obtain otherwise
