    I appreciate these videos much more than the edited thrift videos some creators make, showing only the highlights. Those make me feel like I’m doing something wrong when I’m at the thrift, wading through a sea of nothing but ass. These “every label” videos are much more honest and educational. This is what thrifting is ACTUALLY like... unfortunately
