I think the idea that tutorials are 100% bad for you is wrong, but I also think learning everything you need from tutorials is also wrong.
One of the first steps in learning anything, is knowing what you don't know. For example, you can't learn X if you don't even know what X is. This is where tutorials are nice, as they provide a quick skim over the what and the why so you can determine if you actually need to learn it, and roughly what you should already know. This idea goes deeper than just learning technologies, concepts within what your learning are the same, in that if you didn't know about React's new Hooks api, then how could you possible go out and learn it? (this is just an example 😉)
The second step is getting experience with X, this is where tutorials aren't very helpful. The quickest way to learn something is to use it, fail with it, and overcome the common issues. You don't get that by following along with tutorials.
