YouTubers 1st Tripod, Please Suggest A Better Tripod

This is the tripod I've been using since the beginning, minus the metal phone mount. Tripod came with a plastic mount that broke after 1st use. It was cheap plastic and unstable.
The Victiv tripod is aluminum and plastic, and it works pretty good for the price, about $40, though I got it on sale for much cheaper. It can adjust from 19.5 inches to 74 inches. It has a qr [quick release] mount, also plastic, and easy to break if you over tighten the screw even a little bit. This tripod does come with 2 of those qr mounts. After moving it around often, the ball/socket feet fall off, and randomly, some of the locks on the legs loosen, then the tripod falls over. How I have not broken the camera yet, I have no idea.
So, what are your suggestions for an intermediate level upgrade to this tripod?

Go to a few Thrift stores, buy the heaviest tripod you can find. Make sure it isn't missing the plate though, most secondhand ones seem to be missing the plate ☹️
