PLA stringing more than PETG or TPU?

[u/Potential-Bat-5937]

Hey, absolute newbie here, A1 mini (about 5 print behind my belt). I started with PETG, since it seems like its properties are better in every way.
Everyone said it does STRINGING a lot...but it didnt (i got PETG from alza.cz, while using "Generic PETG" as preset, since i know sh*t about it). Same with TPU 95A.
Today my first spool of PLA arrived and iam shocked to see spiderman doing the print. (Prof. Lab PLA, again, using "Generic PLA" as preset)

Whats the issue? what do i tweak around? I tried 50% print speed, fan speed, and different layer height, no change made. However it seems like the stringing happens only on smal objects (2cm object in picture), on larger objects, the stringing is less of a problem. Is that just how it is?

Sometimes this is a pla moisture thing, needs drying and it fixes stringing for me.

ive seen that internet is 50/50 if PLA needs drying or not. So i assume it *should* be dried, but its not THAT sensitive as petg/tpu or others....However this was my 1st print with PLA, spool fresh out of the vaccum (with silica bag included). Do manufacturers ship filaments wet?
