Viewer Response
I’m too mature to be able to properly consider the privacy of passersby. I hope they continue to make videos at their own pace, just enjoying themselves with their own people.
This may be a gem beyond comdot. I hope you make the era.
A number of viewers have said they can’t help but become fans of the geeky way she edited the video to create a mosaic of passersby.
Furthermore, the number of fans continues to grow as they find it more likeable, such as “beyond comdot” and “everyone is cute and guessable”.
In my opinion, they may be the Fishers of the future.
