Attacking someone just because they pay attention to the 300+ other villagers that exist and not going for the same 10 villagers like every other YouTuber/Streamer does is just silly. Nowadays, whenever I check out on YouTube people's game play and experiences on villager hunting, the majority only searching for the "rare/popular" ones, even if some of them doesn't even seem to like the popular ones that much and only doing it because their fanbase apparently liking these villagers. Like, I don't know one YT who doesn't have Marina, Zucker or Merengue for example on their island (because "popular","cute" and all) and honestly, it's getting a bit boring seeing the same villagers over and over again. Therefore, it's nice seeing someone who shows their love for a more unpopular villager.
As for myself, I also passed up lots of the more "beloved villagers" on my villager hunting, including Judy (although I pick her up the first time when I found her, traded her however later), Marina, Zucker, Maple and three times Sherb just because they weren't on my dreamie list. Just get the villagers you like and don't give a Nook what others think, it's your game and island so do what you want and have fun.
Just watched the video yesterday and she's by far my favorite AC YouTuber out there. The way she passed up Raymond was golden.
