There's some good information there, and some very strong misinformation as well. Some of it is straight up broscience, and some of it is good actual science that's just presented in a misleading manner. I would be more specific, but I have to get to the gym since it closes in an hour. .8-1g per lb of bodyweight in protein is a commonly cited number as being "enough" for athletes. If you're worried, you can just not use protein powder.
i eat about .7-.8 and i do just fine. Some people believe just about anything the supplement industry tells them.
"oh you need at least 300g of protein a day or you will make 0 gainz"

i guess it depends on your definition of "just fine"

.8-1 is actually from my nutrition classes, not a supplement company. The actual statement was something like ".8g/lb for athletes, or even a little more depending on the intensity of the sport and whether the individual feels they are recovering enough."
Because just using a classification like "athlete" is broad. It doesn't account for the level of the individual; high school baseball is not as strenuous as recreational distance running, and the guy who runs a half marathon a couple times a year isn't on the same level as the people who compete in the ironman.
TL;DR you're probably not eating too much protein. If you feel like you aren't recovering, eat more.

well i dont care about mass since im not a bodybuilder and im doing mostly bodyweight related stuff these days, rarely do i lift weights.
the last time i tried my 1rm bench was about 150% of bw, squat around 200% and deadlift around 230-240%. So no huge numbers but im fine with that for now since my goals arent related to those lifts. So its hard to answer but i feel im progressing nicely. I have gained a bit of mass however, but its not a goal and more of a side effect of the strength gained

so do you think that maybe your advice about protein intake isn't particularly relevant? or that it should at least be heavily qualified?

I cant say, im gaining strength at least on a "lower" intake or about 1.5g/kg. Needs might vary in individuals im sure

Search the calstrength youtube channel for "glenn pendlay, snatch"
+ Show Spoiler +
anything you need more specific/advanced than that, I'm gonna say should be personally tailored (as in at least a form check video if not an actual paid coach.)

Are you on a specific bench routine? My bench jumped up to ~125 kg when I did the Coan bench cycle, it was insane lol

Dont lift weights often nowadays, just wanted to test my 1rm since its almost newyears

I am not 100% new to lifting weights but no expert either. Just a quick question, I read somewhere and watched some videos that sets are important in growing muscles. So for example I go:
12x 10 kgs, followed by 8x 12 kgs, and lastly 4x 15 kgs. Is this good for general routine/gaining muscle mass? Do I have to incorporate something like this every single time?

What you lift at any given workout isn't too terribly important. What matters is that you improve either intensity or volume over time.

Did the inbody test at my gym https://www.inbodyusa.com/
6'1 225 and 12% bodyfat which is exactly what I guessed it was lol. Also shows you a bunch of cool stuff like muscle mass per limb (i've def got some imbalance) and water weight and whatnot.
