Are certifications worth it?

For example, AWS/GCP/Azure certifications, coursera machine learning certifications, Linux foundation certifications including certified Kubernetes administrator, etc. I think it’ll be useful for me to study for these, for career growth, but some cost a lot. If I take a bunch, am I helping my career or am I getting tricked? I’m especially curious whether anyone who’s gotten certifications has opinions on whether these have helped them get opportunities.
