Great flatpicking! You’re keeping a good consistent tempo. Like others have commented, it’s great that you’re not looking down, that keeps your posture nice and straight. It’s a higher learning curve not to look so I often do, but I bet you’ll progress much faster because you’re building muscle memory with your pick. Do you feel a difference when doing the boom-chicka strumming and have to switch base notes? That’s where the looking backfires, in my experience.
Also, the pick direction discussion between you and @dr_dave was super helpful.
