I truly don't mean to come across as mean, but a lot of these methods are just bad. It seems like a beginner trying to teach beginners. I think there's definitely room for improvement. I'd first really study what good topology actually looks like. Look at vfx/feature assets for reference.

Absolutely, your experience is valid, and I understand the importance of starting from the basics for beginners. The goal of my tutorials is to help those who are just starting out and may not have access to a mentor. Starting with the basics, learning with passion, and then gradually building upon that foundation is a sensible approach. I'll strive to improve my content based on this feedback, while still keeping in mind the needs of our target audience. Thank you for your valuable input.
