What, in your opinion, is the best resource to learn from to preach semantic HTML?

I was just looking at https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_semantic_elements.asp and was a little underwhelmed because the DOM seems to output things that aren't important to me. Note that I don't think everything I say or do while preaching semantics is totally correct I just have some ideas for our developers that I think could (and should to avoid irony) be used at w3Schools. Here is my screen reader (latest JAWS 2021) speech output:
HTML Semantic Elements heading level 1
Link ❮ Previous
Link Next ❯
* why can't the above links just be semantic buttons?
separator
* why is a separator exposed to screen reader users?
Semantic elements = elements with a meaning.
* I like this definition...

Anyhow, I'm super interested in all of your opinions and resources regarding preaching semantic HTML,
David
