Advanced t-spins can be tough to approach when you are new to them, and are often seen as a collection of like 30 individual special techniques to learn. In this video, I'll explain the concepts that underpin a majority of advanced setups and provide a map on what order to learn them in.

Not too much breadth here, but I still think these tutorials are very concise and well made. Definitely worth a watch if you want to learn the setups these videos are for :) (DT, STSD, TST tower)
Hard Drop Wiki
harddrop.com/wiki/Tetris_Wiki
Tread with caution, but there are some good articles here. The site is kind of an old library of general tetris knowledge, with a lot of info being outdated or pretty much useless for VS. It also makes no distinction between midgame t-spin techniques and openers. Articles for the specific techniques I mentioned on the tier list should be mostly fine, and it has some things that four.lol doesn't. For example, hamburger stacking (the specific tss donation, not just running it down 9-0) is not on four.lol, but sees a decent amount of use in keeping long B2B chains by top players.
Fourtris
github.com/fiorescarlatto/fou...
The program I use in my videos, lets you draw and the board, screenshot tetris boards to import them, and undo. An invaluable tool for analysis and slow practice.
An honorable mention is also bp.tali.software/, which is like a web version of fourtris, made by iitalics. (It's honestly more convenient to use than fourtris, but fourtris is a little more convenient for my video-making process)
