Tried a 50% hydration sourdough starter and my loaves came out flat as a pancake

Everyone online swears by stiff starters for better structure, but mine turned into dense bricks after 3 attempts. Has anyone else had better luck with a really wet starter instead?

Try 100% hydration. Like soup almost. Way better crumb and oven spring.

100% is a pain to shape though.
