I appreciate how you don't show the people who couldn't give recommendations cause they could get ridiculed publically. I feel like it's been normalized by content creators to just film people just minding their own business and existing in public. It's actually sad, but i love that this was purely just people happy to give their recommendation

Filming the ground while you approach people is fantastic, delightfully respectful and such a great transition anytime someone opens up and the camera moves to the interview.

i love the diary of a wimpy guy because it's obvious he actually adores that book and did not just say it just for the sake of naming a favorite fiction book

unrelated but i appreciate that (seemingly) your go-to is to ask people if they're ok w being filmed without actually filming them yet
