Folks online were a mixture of confused, surprised, and pleased. One user complimented the seller’s marketing skills, “The way he has visually displayed his product is smart visual merchandising, clean setup, looks hygienic and that's what people want when they have to consume juice from roadside stalls.”

Another user was simply in awe, “Always impressed by those who strongly desire to make the best out of whatever they are dealt with.”

One shared their own experience of a fateful brush with an auto driver who also operated a YouTube presence, “Was travelling by an auto recently and the auto driver who was a tailor pre covid had a YouTube channel. This youtube channel of his was about tailoring designs and styling with around 20k followers.”

One user who’s had juice from the vendor before shared, “He used to give discounts on juice if you are subscribed to his channel. It's been long time had juice here.”

Seeing the vendor and his dedication to working two jobs at a time, people were impressed and in awe. Although YouTube is surely a part-time endeavour, it takes time and effort to master. One user fascinated by the vendor’s setup wrote in the comments, “Proper hustle.”

While one admired the juice seller, “That's so cool.”
