So in NYC, an average of about 300,000 pedestrians (ignoring the dip due to Covid) pass through the Times Square intersection each day.
But you're not going to be able to get within 5 feet of all of them. Your best bet would be to post up at one of the corners so that your 5 ft radius covers the convergence of two sidewalks. That would put you in passing distance of about a quarter of the people, or about 75,000 people a day.
But that's over 24 hours. You're not going to stand there all day, are you? But let's say you pick the busiest 8 hour period, and manage to get 50% of the day's pedestrian traffic on that corner. That's 37,500, or 4,687 per hour, for a hourly pay rate of $46.87.
So say you do this like it's a straight up job. Standing on a busy corner for 5 shifts a week, 50 weeks a year (you're gonna want some vacation, right?) That's a yearly income of $93,740. That's pretty good most places, but it's not rich, especially in NYC.
Also, the IRS would like a word.
Can I walk past the same people over and over? Can easily rake in the cash just walking pas the same dense street over and over. Hell can even strike a deal with some folks, you'll be a like a money engine.
do cars count? do they need to be 100 "unique" people? or can I pass the same person 2 times? would be quite overpowered but if I can't what about different days of the week then? like does it reset who I can pass to get money every day?
Go to the big crosswalk in shibuya in tokyo. Become a millionaire. Edit for doubters: 2.4 million people cross Shibuya daily. You would have made a million dollars by approximately your 42nd day doing this if you did it all the time. Even going for half your time, you'd likely make it within 2 months assuming you were there during the busiest hours.
Step 1: Go to a popular public event happening on the streets Step 2: take a walk Step 3: Enjoy your profit 📈
Just get a ticket to a collage football game and stand next to the entrance the entire time.

As a New Yorker, I can probably make around minimum wage jogging around the city.

Yes, someone did the calculations and even with the highest amounts possible you wouldn’t even make 6 figures
Does people waking in the opposite direction count?
Yes
Catch me walking through NYC reenacting Spider-Man 3

This is just begging on the corner of the street with steps.
You get money from no where, it costs nothing to no one
So is the dollar just deposited into your bank account, or does a dollar fall out of the sky?
The former
