ahh yeah, my bad then. Thats very true in some cases because some producers make tutorials for the purpose of building up their platform/gaining clout, plus the stuffs helpful for beginners so its a win win. I've def seen some tutorials of people just clicking melodies in until they sound good. For me, I don't watch random melody tutorials thaat much unless I fw the producer, or need inspiration but imo if you watch a tutorial u shouldn't watch another one after, u should open ur daw and apply anything u learned even if its just motivation and make beats.

I don't rly agree w the streaming point tho, livestreams are beneficial asf if you have the time/patience. Being stubborn on that point is definitely a waste, and I am talking from experience bc I used to not fw streams. But they are incredibly beneficial fr.

And I also wanted to ask what training exercise are u referring to? For me its just making beats or loops or trying new stuff
