It Took Me 10 Years to Understand Entropy, Here is What I Learned. | by Aurelien Pelissier | Apr, 2022 | Cantor’s Paradise

A really informative article that explained a lot of mysteries I previously had.

For example, given that a black hole can be described from just three numbers and thus "highly ordered", how is it that a black hole is said to have a very high entropy?

The biggest takeaway from the article (to me) is that: entropy is not about disorderness, but rather about the amount of information (microstat) packed in an apparent phenomenon (macrostat).
