The largest individual youtuber in the world. He has several channels, the main ones are Mr.Beast and Mr.Beast philanthropy.
I think the main selling point of youtube is watching people do things you cannot, either due to time, expertise, or money. Mr.Beast kinda personifies that, as many of his videos cost over $1M to make and are original owing to nobody else being able to make them, ala 'I made a lazer dungeon, first person to reach the end wins $500k' .
I've seen some of those videos since my son likes him. The issue is that a lot of his content is obviously scripted. If the content itself is scripted (faked), why should I believe that money is actually given out in the end and, again, not just part of the script?
He also was one of the first to master the YouTube algorithm and perfected the video format to engage viewers the most.
I agree but in a way where I absolutely hate that he did this. Mr Beast is one of the worst things to happen to YouTube.
Double edge sword. We now know better than before about how the algorithm works thanks to him. Unfortunately, that also means that others are now equipped with similar spam knowledge.
