I love that you made art IRL, printed things physically, and slapped stickers with a satisfying sound to illustrate your points and teach the history! So much better than using a digital montage!

[@grannyronna]

Agree! So much creativity in this video!

[@groofay]

What an impressive presentation to illustrate the point. And probably nobody in that neighborhood would notice anything was different unless they saw this video (except for all the households that randomly found decades-old Valentine's Day cards in their mailboxes).

[@brittany6910]

A long time ago, my brother's dad died, and I decided that every time I saw a heart in the wild, it was him communicating with me. So I feel like I notice them a lot. You definitely notice things more when you add meaning to them.

[@gingermaniac5484]

when I'm anxious I look for heart shaped like an eyespy and if I'm incapable of looking for them I draw them in succession I like that hearts are everywhere and I don't think that lessens their meaning at all, I think it helps put into perspective on how many people with different lives are just.. living, feeling a wide variety and range of loving emotions and I think that's really beautiful and calming

[@StedyMarconi]

Did I pause everytime the pic I sent showed up in the video? Yes. Yes, I did. You can't blame for thinking is frigging cool seeing a pic that I took showing up in an awesome video like this, c'mon!

[@kofi557h]

Same here, I feel like a rockstar

[@rachaelharrison1257]

Me too!!

[@beccyshore1303]

A street full of people are now very confused/ suspicious of their spouses

[@kendraharris523]

The satisfaction of slapping stickers in a public space. Taking such a thought provoking concept into a public space and disrupting the daily narrative is so empowering and exhilarating. Whether planned or not, that 4th wall break with the rando on the street was so exciting to see too! It's really really awesome to see your art evolve in practice and scope. I got excited seeing my son's hearts in your video! I'm so happy you're posting again!

[@gabytorres9767]

You did it again. I clicked thinking it was an interesting title, saw the question and thought "oh, neat". But when you said we could look a little closer to the good, I started crying. Always something touching and relevant to people's lives stemming from something seemingly unimportant. I have been going through a rough patch and just now, I think it might get better. And exactly when I thought that, your video popped up. Thank you for your work.

[@aaronsart3845]

When you told me I would see on average of 200+ hearts in a day, I was thinking how absurd that was and that I probably see on average 10+ tops, on a good day...however, it didn't even occur to me until you mentioned later on in the video that we 'heart' posts on social media such as instagram and tiktok. That's when it really hit home just how much I see the heart symbol in a single day! Love this style of Doco. Informative and chaotic, right up my street. ♡

[@mikfolletto]

This tiny documentary is perfect! From Storytelling to visuals to art. It’s great 🖤

[@fayewithane]

I feel like we're witnessing you coming into a new era of yourself and i am HERE FOR IT! Great video, I heart it haha

[@larsgothica3454]

I’m very happy to have been a tiny part of this through a photo I sent in, your videos have always helped me see with beauty and inspiration in life when I’m looking at the darkness too much. Thanks for all you create :) 💟

[@4namolly]

Right?? 🎉

[@slvestorm8094]

Hi Cam, tbh I resisted a bit your channel changing, since you are the only youtuber I watch and I really liked your old videos on mental health/self development. I am a danish psychologist and I have recommended specific videos for my clients and friends to watch and learn from. But I get it now and really enjoy how you explore a story or concept and tie it to an underlying message. I notice this is something you enjoy in some of your favorite books too, and get why it is interesting to create that yourself

[@JoanOfArgghh]

You are following in the giant steps of James Burke's "Connections" series on the BBC, presenting an intelligent, entertaining, and memorable way to learn new things. Very well done, indeed. I 😍'd it!

[@cooliostarstache6992]

oh!! I loved that series! I hope you are doing well btw

[@rachaelharrison1257]

It did not occur to me even a little bit to count things like emoji, instagram likes etc. I did however have a lovely time keeping my eyes open for hearts - there was a lot of "oh look! There's another!" and it turned into kind of a game.

[@BelIa42]

I love this video style. It feels so freeing and creative. Thank you for bringing attention to hearts and changing my perspective. I found a lot more hearts in my room than I expected. Always great to get a fresh view :)

[@louiemalgre2797]

3:01 "meanwhile the french in a very unfrench move actually won something for once" duuuuude :DD

[@chxrl5067]

My favourite type of video is a deep dive about something i don't care about/have never thought of/heard of. ❤️ this. You're doing great.

[@DarthShadie]

The hearts we see in nature are the most beautiful and the best.

[@franb0l]

i love how you filmed this its entertaining and visual and creativity flows from it. the line "the most recognized symbol in the world is one of love, not hate" hit hard.

[@hesherette]

this was so wholesome + beautiful, reminds me of why i have to keep up my gratitude journaling/ mindset as an addict in recovery (or just as a human being in general)- it's SO easy to take literally everything/ anything for granted over time. really appreciate this lovely reminder, thank you

[@RioRav]

Lol I wonder how many jealous partners started a fight after finding a random valentine and how many who forgot got a kiss because of it. Love the video! ❤

[@KVW110]

If I see hearts everyday, it doesn't even register. What I do notice everyday? Whether the sun is shining, how it reflects off of water or metal, and birds. I think that's the good in my life.

[@TheArtistJJ]

Cam! Cambell! Struthless? Whichever it is you most prefer. I heart you, you wonderful, amazing human being. I'm sure the hidden heart won't stay hidden for too long! So much love to you for spreading that which we all need to value to the most right now. The heart. Love. So much love to you. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@keechpeach7539]

You've been my top youtuber for a few years now since I found your channel. Loved your self-improvement videos and was a lil sad when you said you'd finished making them BUT damn these mini documentaries are just so interesting, cinematic, educational and meaningful. You're such a motivation, keep doing you always, love your stuff ❤️

[@uberbubble]

Another spectacular documentary, I knew about the heart coming from the pear like love in tennis comes from an egg, but not the rest and you tell us history of all things; fonts; country music; various art styles, and now the heart, with so much human context it brings it to life not just with memorable storytelling but a real connection to who we are now and how we can be a living part of that on going history. I love that I can go in dozens of directions from here analysing my own use and consumption of heart symbols and never stop finding new angles of such an ubiquitous image. I'm going to right now send a heart to my husband while he's at work, and show a heart shaped flashcard to my newborn, spread the love. Thank you for producing every video that you do and showing everyone a little slice of a big world; we are all better for it and for having encountered you. ❤

[@cobalius]

i especially liked, how he just painted and sprayed stuff as if the city was his drawing board

[@laa2787]

this makes me want to continue looking for heart shaped things and spread the heart even more from now on ❤

[@indiabilly]

Well that was beautiful and heartfelt! Xx

[@halloweendancing]

I’m so happy you’re feeling better and up to posting again!! Your channel is one of my most favorite ever.

[@anjalim.3688]

Editing on point, Campbell! Love the history lesson, love the message and metaphor ❤

[@calynnahope2630]

Wow that was really beautiful. Thank you

[@Grizzlygray468]

Bro, you are legitimately one of the best teachers I’ve ever listened to. Thank you.

[@KnitsFromTheVoid]

This was yet another masterpiece, and much like many of your art history videos (like the fonts video, man that was so good too!) I learned a lot and I will remember most of it.

[@jimquinn6684]

fantastic video, love the storytelling, and just how fluent the video is! keep it up!

[@nerd26373]

We aporeciate your insights. Somehow you've really gone ahead to explain everything in complete detail.

[@jameswheaton2542]

This is a fantastic video format!!!

[@JoshaMikaelson]

Awesome vid man! I love these types of mini-docos you’re doing! Cheers

[@Celeste-in-Oz]

I loved how visually engaging that was!

[@noooooooooo00]

I woke up in a really bad funk, immediately saw this video and fell immensely better afterwards. thank you, this is soo creative unique and fun. keep up the good work

[@Trogdor0547]

Your stuff is always good. This one was EXCELLENT!

[@AffectionateMud]

[@Izik8890]

Thank you, i teared up at the end. This is such a beautiful message. Love your work

[@HurricaneEm1]

Why am I crying right now 🥲 That was so goddamn beautiful and a message I needed to hear today 💙 Struthless you legend!

[@kevinkapowski]

Another classic Struth. Glad you’ve found a new direction for your videos you were discussing a few months ago.

[@xxx12375]

The creativity of this video is everything! I very much appreciate the work you put in, thank you!

[@LexesOHara]

Almost had me in tears with that final message. 🥺

[@Amanda-ei7oc]

Dude every time you publish your videos get better!! The punchline made me tear up as it slapped me in the face with what a negative Nancy I’ve been lately. Thanks so much for inspiration ❤

[@tomwasnotfounddc143c8]

I really just don't have the words to describe how much I like your videos, they are so genuine and human, lots of love 2 u

[@vanessaquinones7681]

This is my favorite KZbin channel, I love how it has changed from what it was from the start and it still never dissapoints. It's entertaining, fun, creative, honest, helpful, and moreover authentic. Thank you for continuing to make awesome content. Greetings from Mexico! ❤ 👈 couldn't miss the heart haha

[@kimberlyswanson2782]

This is such a well done video ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@kslaney4161]

Awesome video! I love the use of tactile props.

[@candaceholmes200]

Love the video Campbell!!!

[@1weirdcatty]

Man you're so creative! You deserve a heart ❤

[@kpn263]

[@jessicabirkenheuer4867]

A huge compliment. I love the Storytelling and it‘s like in every Video you do - i learn something without noticing it. Very well Dome ❤(and yes, a Heart-Symbol 😂)

[@itsjustjd9082]

[@tuams]

And again you make an exceptional video! Thank you for teaching something new.

[@LittleSimGoesWild]

I whole❤edly loved this! Extremely well done. You nailed it. Thank you and please keep sharing your honest and entertaining perspective on life. Much love✌️

[@asafrokni3339]

Your videos get better and better man ❤

[@cooljulep]

First, love that card graffiti ya' did. Your area looks incredible. Seeing all this art would totally invigorate me. Now, answer to your question: i'm an aspiring graphic designer and story teller, and I'm surprised how helpful milanote can be for us creatives. I just got milanote to create moodboards and color stories for brand design, graphics, and i even use their "storyboard" template for my comics and animatics. very cool video struthless!!!

[@Beaut_Beau]

Struthless is firing on all cyclinders, love everything you do mate!

[@theXhy]

So grateful for him being who he is in this timeline

[@YAMZWorld]

So beautiful. We really do take it for granted

[@serenitylumbard1888]

[@CrowR75]

[@RogueHope23]

Geeking out seeing my photos be in your video!! Loved the doco!!

[@xMoneko]

Love this video, I teared up a bit at the end :') Also the origin story of emojis is so cool hahah

[@marshalfrancis3353]

I love that metaphor at the end! Wow, you made my day ... Again 🥰😍🤩

[@leanalapointe4209]

Thanks for the milanote ad, it was exactly what I was looking for :D

[@Racheltjeuh]

Absolutely LOVE this! The story, the storytelling, the execution of it all, love it ❤ Inspiring :) And you've given me yet another 'simple' thing I can get super excited and fascinated by!

[@ash-tl4cr]

i love this style this was so interesting

[@rafaelramirez1734]

This was beautiful 🖤

[@sophiehaselton3563]

top quality video. wholesomely substantial in content and creativity! NICE

[@karendale9926]

Brilliant ! ✨🙏

[@avalon7958]

The production quality of this was top notch 🫶🏻

[@nanarts]

Such a stunning presentation, Campbell, you always manage to bring me in tears :') I wish your videos had Portuguese subtitles so I could get my mom and friends to enjoy it as well! Sometimes I watch them with my hubby, pausing and translating for him - but it's freaking hard XD Let me know if I can contribute to making this happen, I'd love to! Anyway, thank you so much for all the positive impact your work is making in my life, it brings me real mental clarity and it's a huge inspo. XOXO from BR

[@zihadaj9443]

ur the best bro ..huge love from Bangladesh

[@Theslowishdiaries]

Oh I loved this! I wasn’t sure where it was going then you just made the most beautiful landing. I’m going to go out today and look for hearts!

[@darkcreatureinadarkroom1617]

The heart is a symbol of love... And life (surprised you didn't really touch upon its widespread use in video games). Anyways, thanks for the reminder to keep being alert to the good things in life 💓

[@bekakunkei971]

this video is on another level woah

[@wrenillusions]

This video format is so unique and interesting, damn.

[@dont_worry_about_it2861]

sooo cool love that you added fans photos and art. got to see mine twice! lets goo!

[@Hearts4Door]

The heart has been my favorite shape for over 40 years now! Way before it became popular. The heart is such an awesome shape. It is both curved and straight. Rounded and pointy. It is so aesthetically pleasing. Well at least to me! Even my KZbin profile image shows my favorite shape.

[@sweember]

Wow, this is stunning! When I saw the title of the video I was like: 'hm, what a strange question? I've never thought about it..I need to find out'. And I really couldn't excpect anything like this. The way you think and talk about Actually it is very relatiable to the word 'love' itself. Love has always been something the most meaningful and important in people's lives, but as time passes by..we just get used to say 'I love' and sometimes, just like with these symbols, it doesn't really mean anything. so instead of 'love' we can ofthes see something like 'true love' and it's everywhere - in books we read, in movies and TV-series we watch. And it's pretty interesting, like..doesn't 'love' means 'true love' by default? This idea kind of resonates with the idea of heart's shapes. Thank you for your work! I really enjoy your videos, they help me to deal with my daily anxiety.

[@dennisenshanty]

It's funny because I always thought of hearts in public that I registered as a reminder of love to help me re-prioritize what is important in life, but I do tend to need more reminders in general. Then again, Ive loved Disney content despite its capitalistic methods. Great content as always! Keep doing you💕

[@alexbougiemusic]

You mentioned Pon and Zi and I had a legit Hollywood-esque flashback. Thank you.

[@asmrqueens5608]

so glad my photos were used 😊😊

[@joevinski1]

First. Awesome video brother keep up the great work !!!!!!

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

[@skrappost7611]

damn man, great video. You are so good with content its mindblowing

[@ansel9010]

"You watch the sunset too often, it just becomes 6pm". Reminds me of a great line in Phil Kaye's 'Repeititon' poem.^

[@charlotte8666]

I had totally forgot sending you in a photo of a heart a few weeks ago...until 13:56 when a photo of my hand (& heart tattoos) flashed on the screen! cool video :D

[@tracyneville4264]

WOW. This was amazing!

[@fabrictwist9180]

Great video! Now i will be looking forvhearts everywhere..

[@aruchan1367]

You videos and your vibes are so amazing! [insert heart digital revenge picture]
