During an interview, Gan Yi, the director of Happy Camp, responded to the debate brought upon by comments along the lines of "Nowadays, whoever is popular gets to go on Happy Camp.

That said, there were a couple of gems that I discovered this past year (aka June 2020 and later) that I would highly recommend to all readers.
