I heard the exact same feedback about watercolour paper, word for word from another friend who is also learning water colour painting.
Your experience reminds me of Dunning-Kruger effect: a cognitive bias that states that the less we know, the more confident we are.
What it means is that as you gain knowledge and start to realize just how little you do know, your confidence will plummet and reach an all-time low. If you choose to continue to build your knowledge by learning and gaining experience, your level of confidence starts to rise again, finally matching your level of knowledge.
The production quality in the YouTube video is nice. :)
