The brilliance is how Andrew never mocks or judges his interview subjects, no matter how outwardly insane or ridiculous they might be. Obviously the videos are edited for comic effect, but I don't think he could have gotten half his material if he didn't just allow people be their raw unfiltered selves. The results are pretty fascinating and funny, you could probably write whole anthropological dissertations on some of these videos.
he was asked about this in the H3 podcast, and said that really, if he really started with the intention of making humor or of the situation, he's been steering it more into creating a platform for this people to be themselves. he doesn't want that the people feel that he's making fun of them, or he will lose his own content. I think it's brilliant.
