My favourite content creators are the ones who show where they mess up. It reminds me that we all do and it is how we get over it that really matters.

Hard agree there. When I started posting progblogs I would try to include mentioning everything including screwups, and when I was editing streams to post I would always mention that I have cut out bits where I was staring at the screen (which happened a lot) and that it was timelapsed (TIMELAPSE absolutely NOT "speedpaint" which is something else entirely >_< sorry pet peeeeeeeeve) and that I don't actually do anything anywhere near that fast XD
I've also noticed more people doing it more as despite there being more resources for beginners there still isn't enough of the beginner experience out there I guess as I remember doing a very short "Blender Adventures" series about a decade ago and seeing similar things cropping up with newer/younger bloggers/artists, some of which were just doing what I was doing and making notes for themselves/just blogging about the experience and some who I guess were struggling to find resources for people coming in from literally nothing and decided to fill that perceived gap.
Either way normalising that (especially initial) struggle and learning curve is good I think, along with showing that even pros error out regularly XD
