I decided to give learning how to stream properly a try again. Atm I can't acc anything that has streams and is <185 bpm and I've been struggling with this for 3 years now, so I ended playing a lot of dt and higher bpm because I became too frustrated with all my <85 acc fc's on lower bpm maps. I tried to fix this several times but always gave up after a few weeks because I couldn't see progress. That's why I wanted some advice on what the proper way would be to learn how to stream accurately.
Atm I'm mainly focusing on playing maps in the 150-180 bpm range, lower feels impossible for me to do the streams. My reasoning for focusing on that range is that since I can somewhat accurately stream 185+ bpm i should be able to learn bpm close to that more easily than lower ones?
I also did some plays on those long stream maps again. I'm not sure how useful they are to learn how to control my speed; my timing is always all over the place and my results are about the same as one year ago and I did play the 160-180 ones about 50-100 times since then. So I wonder if i should quit playing these. I'm not playing the slower ones since I fail them 90% of the time.
Some replays of my plays today in case anyone would be interested(maybe it helps understanding my problem?)

My main problem while playing these is that while I hear/know I am tapping too fast I never know how to slow down properly. I always end up doing one of two things:
-quit tapping for a short time and restart streaming
-start to raise my fingers a lot while streaming but this drains my stamina very fast and seems to be even more inconsistent.
For normal stream maps I also notice barely improvement on some maps like https://osu.ppy.sh/b/66820 I can't even beat my own score I set over 3 years ago after trying several times. Sometimes I'll get a lucky 90+ acc fc on a lower bpm stream map but when I try a few days/weeks later I'm back to getting 80-88 acc. What I notice while playing these maps is that I'll always accelerate a lot at the end of a stream. And when playing below 160 bpm I'll often start fully alternating without really realizing(normally I single tap) because I'm really focused on alternating the streams slowly, is this a good thing to do?
Here is are some plays on lower bpm streamy beatmaps:

TL;DR
-Are long stream maps useful when it comes to learning stream control?
-Are there certain techniques to stream slower?
-Is it good to focus on a certain bpm range or should I keep playing every bpm?
-good lower bpm (<185) stream maps are always welcome.
