Wondering what your view is on what makes a producer? Is there some point where someone is definitively a producer; and is the line monetary? Do you hold yourself to a different standard of what a producer is than to a complete stranger? What's your opinion?

In electronic music a producer is an alternative way to say musician, such that it also implies the musician is also doing all the other parts: writing, composing, sound design, arranging, mixing and often mastering.

Someone who produces something. Not necessarily a musician or have any direct skill but rather their skill is in producing or production, since they can technically hire someone to play music or sing or whatever.

There are two definitions for producer in music these days:
The traditional Producer who comes in to help a band refine a recording, whether by helping with the arrangements, mixing or just general direction of the band etc.
The modern Producer, an electronic musician mostly associated with computers, dance music and DAWs. It seems have have come from DJs who may or may not have any traditional talent at an instrument beyond turntables or veejay software, i.e. they “produce” music rather than play it.
At this point it seems to mean any electronic musician, mostly solo artists, who make music mostly in a studio with a computer in a DAW etc.

Producer is one of those terms that's got more than one meaning these days.
Broadly, one meaning is an old fart who (a) still relies on an analogue mixing console, (and a handful of 'engineers' who know which end of a mic is which), (b) who reaps a bigger percentage off the profits than the aspiring guitar bands he 'advises' on how to play their own songs, and (c) who has never listened to anything, ever, that has been on TikTok.
The other meaning is anyone under the age of 25 who believes that they are entitled to fame, fortune and respect of their peers because they create 'beats.' Beats are a subset of musical compositions identifiable for (a) not actually being complete musical compositions and (b) being transmitted via slavish reimplemention of YouTube videos on how to become a producer by making beats.

A Producer is the opposite of a Looter or Moocher.
The exception being in the music industry, where the “producers” are the looters and moochers.
