Okay, props to you. That was a very candid, generous and helpful video. 99% of people wouldn't have been so open and honest with their audience and that deserves a lot of respect. Cheers Matt.

This was such a great video. As a regular viewer, I appreciate the transparency so much. This is the type of video that can't be automated or replicated with a faceless channel.

That was super cool to see. I was a bit blown away that the Q&A visual was a vibe coded app just for recording time instead of a bunch of edit time work, very smart!

Love the transparency and general honesty feel i get from all your videos, this was not different in that sense. Keep crushing it.

Matt, I’ve been following you for years, and I just want to say thank you. AI moves so fast it can make a person feel old before breakfast, but you somehow make it all make sense. You’ve got a great way of cutting through the noise and showing people what’s actually important, useful, and worth their time. That’s not easy to do, and you do it really well. Appreciate the work, appreciate the clarity, and I’m still glad I found your channel years ago.

Really appreciate that you are being your true genuine self and not a polished fake version. Thanks for the behind the scenes. Been contemplating starting my own channel and seeing the extent of your set up helps me to see what is possible and realistic for me. Keep doing what you're doing! And it sounds like you do want to make more videos like this so add me to the pile of "Yes please! would love more of this back end how to style"
