Oh my god I was so annoyed by these videos and everyone seems to praise them as youtube masterclass. Thank you for this video. Such a breath of fresh air.
when a video wants you to be engaged EVERY SECOND, no part of it stands out and it becomes boring. absolutely loved this, really glad someone tackled this topic
It’s like these TH-camrs are always in a state of being excited, and yeah, it pretty quickly wears down because it comes off as fake when you act like that 100% of the time
Dude goes to the poorest country in the world. He could have discussed the issues that lead to this country being so poor, but he didn’t. Props to those orphanage workers who didn’t let him film the children
I mean, the points he makes still stand. And no, if that's what you thought this video was you kind of missed the point. He's fine with Mrbeast videos personally, it's the effect on youtube and the people who copy him that he dislikes.
It's like he sold his soul or something. I remember when he made edgy jokes and dunked on children's crappy videos. Then he counted to a 100000 and everything changed..
@@alozie__ like our dude mentioned in the video, lots of those people started out successfully before the money p$rn began. So they are perfectly capable of doing meaningful stuff if they wanted. And they influence young people to seek this....greed kills. As for the people of that country. It's not a TH-camr"s fault or job to fix them. This guy? Straight used them.
"This dude MrBeast-ified poverty" is depressing both for being a sentence we can truthfully say and for being one that everyone here instantly understood
this video was too long and not fast paced enough for me so unfortunately i speak for everyone when i say we will be taking our viewership back to tiktok now
For a editing style that’s meant to hold your attention span, it really does the opposite for me, a person with ADHD. Frankly, it makes me more overstimulated to the point I feel like my brain will explode
how were they ahead? this was true even when they first spoke out, and these new allegations are completely unrelated to their point, which is, mr beast ruined youtube
I think it's funny that his editing style that's supposed to grab your attention and keep you watching has the opposite effect on me, considering I have ADHD and normally lose interest when stuff *isn't* engaging enough
Same. Idk what exactly but there's something about that editing style that just annoys me. And I know that it's not that I don't like fast editing, Max0r is a favorite channel of mine and his editing is like someone shot a machine gun directly into your brain.
It’s funny how there needs to be the perfect balance of dynamic editing. If there’s not enough variation I get bored and tap away, but if there’s too much it’s just total sensory overwhelm!
I think this is why I've moved far more towards watching video essays. It feels like all forms of content have began to learn towards just "spending loads of money" except for video essays, mainly because the intentions of them are solely a personal and niece topic. Whilst this is obviously not 100% of essayists I feel that the personal quality is what I really crave in the content I watch. Anyways great vid pinely
"spending loads of money" Money that I'm sure Beast writes off on his taxes as charity. Plus all these big channels that whine about "high production value" are just ridiculous. The same quality could be achieved by a couple modern iPhones, a green screen, and a medium-level laptop for a fraction of the cost. Funny how we're supposed to believe they need a $1000 camera just to use as a facecam.
Hyper editing has always been a thing on TH-cam, from the loud copyright free music playing in the background of kids videos to the break neck speed of pacing of…you guessed it. Kids videos.
Ytp have existed long before Mr. Beast, I would argue that they started hyper editings shift to mainstream. Ytps aren't too good when you grow up, but Mr Beast isn't either so
@@Miriam_J_ yes while both styles of content use lots of edits, they are fundamentally different. If you take the edits out of a ytp, you lose the whole point of a ytp. Mr. Beast and his clones can use a more low-intensity style of editing and still end up with fundamentally the same video.
@@thomaspau211 A fellow by the nickname of "DogPack404" who had worked for MrBeast exposed some scummy ways he makes his money, and based on the description for the video he has more to expose.
@thomaspau211 umm maybe because he doesn't actually give a fck bout the poor people and does all that shi for money and fame. Answers to arguments that might come from mr, beast defense league : No, he doesn't donate all his money he makes from the videos to the poor people ( what are you fucking 12) Yes, he did take a smallloan from the govt during covid whilst people were out there struggling [ 300,000 < small loan < a million dollars ] No, the poor people shouldn't just be happy that they got at least something even if they didn't win the show.
@@thomaspau211 He wasn't paying the winners of his contests and the participants were mistreated on set. One woman didn't get food for 20 hours and when she was finally given food, it was half a banana.
What’s more frustrating is that a MrBeast challenge would actually be more interesting if it was slow-paced with actual personality. Seeing the thought process and and in-depth techniques behind these crazy shenanigans would be really interesting. But instead it’s all conveyed in a lightning-fast stream of hyperedited gibble-gobble that no one could ever possibly keep up with.
I agree, many of his older challenges that he did with his friends took this approach. The videos showed how the challenges were completed and followed all the friends, making you invested in who was going to win. I think he could do something similar with random people, but as you said, he should take his time letting us get acquainted with them individually, show more of their personalities, and show how these challenges are set up. He could also do behind-the-scenes videos which could help solve this issue.
Exactly! That would be great. We already see the fast-paced, overedited stuff on TV, but you know what I and other people have always thought? "It'd be cool to see a reality/game-show that's _actually_ real." Combining it with the personal element TH-cam was known for would be great.
They’re not making this content for adults with attention spans though. They’re making the content for kids. My 10 year old son is attracted to the hyper, yelling, crazy content like a moth to a lightbulb. I have to seriously regulate his devices and what I let him watch or he will sit and watch related video after related video for hours on end. They know what they’re doing when they make content like this, and it’s not for us.
was drawn to this video due to sharing the same opinions, and oh boy after hearing your thoughts on the editing preventing what could have been a really interesting video with the not eating video, I would love to hear your opinion on the man who was stuck in a circle for 100 days. what a waste of what could have been one of the most interesting videos on the platform.
True, that was a good video, but I agree: I feel like I didn't get to know they guy as well as I should have. I just know the highest and lowest points but not much in between.
I’d like to point out that Mr Beast had a golden period when he really blew up where Jimmy struck the right balance of relatability and the typical TH-cam insanity. Things like spending a full day in a desert with a group of friends or being buried alive for a night are like dumb ideas that cross your mind in conversation. And there were even storylines(Chandler never winning any challenges for example) that were like running jokes within a friend-group. But nowadays his remaining friends are more like crew members that’re obliged to be there and do jobs in the videos.
Said it better than I could 😭 I used to watch him/them all a lot and after a while it just became so... much. Like it became a chore to watch them since so much was happening, and it's so hard to relate to them now imo
I never realized how much his content changed, but you're so right! Like, every video was crazy, they had funny and interesting moments. The video's are now just one long moment (if that makes sense). I miss the old video's, they were really good.
This! I haven’t seen any good chandler moments in years, he was my favorite person on the channel and now they just kinda seem like his employees who only feel obligated to be there, what sucks is that all of the funny moments with his friends that would typically happen in 2018-2020 videos probably still happen while filming but are cut so we can get to the point of the video, even though the funny and relatable moments with his friends were the best part of his old vids
Ikr, I remember when his friends actually had personality. Like chandler pooping all the time, chris being good at survival, viking being strong. But now its just like their robots,
Yeah, it does sound longer because it is easier for people to operate on a logarithmic scale. Not to mention 100 hour/day videos are also trending so it would likely get more views.
Dad! You should still make a video on this subject, the dude chilling in the poorest country in the world is almost like brain worms material and I’d be down to hear your opinion on it!
Wow this was incredible and accurate. For me, I think what annoys me the most is the copycats. There's no personality and half of their videos are faked / exaggerated. I've always felt my own videos were too boring, not kept up with todays standards to keep retention, but after watching this, I felt a lot better. I've always tried to be myself and not some copycat robot and this video really spoke to me. Thank you for speaking what so many of us creators wanted to put into words. It's just sad the algorithm is rewarding this type of content right now. TH-cam needs to go back to their roots and remember what made this site successful to begin with IMO..
Your videos have a very enjoyable pace Matt! The editing is good and I appreciate that you keep things high energy without being fake or over the top. I'm 32 but have watched your videos for as long as I've been on TH-cam. Probably a testament to the quality of your content! Keep it up, and cool to see you here 😎
It's not just the algorithm, it's the people clicking and watching the videos. If people didn't give these creators/videos millions of views, they wouldn't make this content.
is it really their fault for not having personality? after all, the person they are trying to copy also doesn't have personality. in this video, Mr beast himself said having personality is bad for making videos. mr beast doesn't have any personality. he is just chasing trends in TH-cam algorithm. why can't other people do the same? it's like saying Emma Chamberlain is a copy cat because Casey Neistat invented vlogging and only he can vlog, no one else can.
i think sean means that he doesnt like how mr. beasts content changed youtube. i dont think sean has any actual problems with jimmy beast as a person, just his content, and i can honestly agree.
@@Xurpath Tom Simons' lie detector video. He later addressed it more in-depth on Brain Leak. I think part of it also had to do with how the video was edited making what he said look worse than it actually was
I love the shirt, man. Also, I've noticed you stepping up the effort and quality in what you make. I always love to see that, because I've outgrown so many creators' content when they continued to make low effort, thoughtless/passionless, and childish commentary despite also growing older and richer. Thoughtfulness and writing is always more important than any visuals or crazy editing.
@@Pinely No problem. And that wasn't meant to insult any older videos you might've made. It's just I've noticed a trend after watching TH-cam for years now that some creators stagnate and clearly stop enjoying what they do at all to a point where it ruins the channel. And then others seem to grow personally and go for something better for their own fulfillment and it sets them up for a better situation long term. It's cool to see, and I'll keep tuning in. (I was talking about the JPEGMAFIA shirt by the way, but then that shirt went away lol)
I think a lot of the "MrBeast-ification" also comes down to youtubers realising how profitable young kids are, so they deliberately make the content super quick and digestable since their attention spans are so low
It is kinda sad that the next generation all are becoming manipulated by corporate businesses pandering to the most vulnerable. It really goes to show that no company cares about wellbeing, only profit whether purposefully or not.
mr. beast use to be a favourite channel of mine, specifically in the "jimmy and his friends do dumb shit" era where he and his friends conveyed genuine chemistry and were hilarious, and not as family friendly. now when I watch a mr. beast video it feels like im reading a school textbook in the sense that its is just genuinely a bother to consume.
the weird thing for me is that his videos have like anti-clickbait to me (even though they're not supposed to). It looks like it will be boring, but it's actually a lot more interesting than I would've thought
yeah like his "we spent 24 hours in [random place]" videos where he and his crew would just go into the wilderness and fuck around for a day, or where he'd have his own crew doing challenges and it wouldn't so much revolve around who wins but the relationships between them (like that one penny for every view video)
the eating one is incredibly scary for his audience demographic, losing weight like that is rarely long term is very dangerous and can give you an eating disorder that can put you in hospital if you don't manage to recover and eat normal healthy amounts again. As somebody who nearly lost a friend to anorexia this shit scares me so much
Also 21 days without food is enough to be lethal this whole video idea is just disgusting and completely irresponsible especially with how much youtubers like that like to one up each other
one thing i absolutely HATE about Matthew Beam is that he does not shut up about MrBeast. Like his entire personality is knowing MrBeast. In his MrBeast island video he calls every single fucking thing “Mrbeast.” eg. “MrBeast cave” “MrBeast pathway” like it’s not his thing 💀😭
Orr exclusively referring to him as “Jimmy Beast” is a beautiful thing. Honestly forgot MrBeast’s last name for a while and only realized that it is not in fact Beast about halfway through the vid.
I just learned from this comment that his name isn't actually Mr Beast bc I'm used to watching people who aren't LIARS! (Jk) People like Mr Beard for instance.
In the D&D community we have a phrase called "The Matt Mercer Effect" because there is the Dungeon Master named Matthew Mercer (most famous from critical role) who is perceived as such a perfect Dungeon Master that everyone tries to emulate him not really realizing that his abilities are a skill he worked on and it makes people deny their own skills in exchange for trying to be a better dungeon master This kinda feels like the same situation
The difference is that Mercer Effect is there because Mercer is doing his own thing, with no regard for replicability. Beast is intentionally acting as a template devoid of individuality. So, the Mercer Effect is because people are not doing what Mercer's doing (playing to their own strengths) while the Beast Effect is because they are successfully doing what Beast is doing.
I'd add that the issue with the Matt Mercer Effect is also that it doesn't take into account the personality of the table that aspiring DM plays at and their playstyle and also the personality and the strengths of the DM themselves. It is a pretty good analogy for what's happening with Mr beast :(
crying at the guy who bought all those chocolate bars to get the golden ticket because he either didn't watch/read charlie and the chocolate factory or _really really_ didn't understand the point of the story 😭
Commentary videos are fast food: quick, cheap, kinda bad for you. Mr Beast videos are more like Olive Garden: not particularly amazing, but he's clearly spending time and effort on them.
Sure but Mr Beast makes money from his charity videos, which lets him spend thousands of dollars on more charity videos. Without his camera, he wouldn’t be able to afford to totally change peoples lives with thousands of dollars like he does now.
I've had a conversation about this very topic one time because we we're doing charity and cleaning drive. I've asked my mom about this very same issue that if we're helping people why not just help people silently without seeking attention. She answered simply that Investors needs to see concrete proof that you/your organization actually delivered on your end of the bargain so they can trust you with more of their money, because to them it's a marketing strategy and a way for people to know them.
In general TH-cam is just getting weird now as everyone is getting homogenized. Sorry I get your points though it feels weird when we talk about editing and retention as you have an edit after ever sentence or two of it zoomed in and cropped on you, slow zoom in, close up crop. With it just cycling over and over which is now the hall mark of people holding up microphones to their mouth video essayists thing.
In 2012, PewDiePie made history and recreated the Let's Play videos and popularized it to the extent that until now, all other gaming youtubers are doing the same thing. Now, in 2022, the MrBeast clones are doing the same thing.
@Daruki Neo He made the other vloggers up their production value. Before Casey, vlogs were just recorded on a phone and poorly edited. Casey came along and basically made a mini cinematic video with his vlogs
Yep, as the TH-cam algorithm has been adjusted and viewer expectations have evolved, there's always a new trend that people jump on and milk dry. Back in the day it was Angry Video Game Nerd's over the top game "reviews" that spawned a bunch of imitators. It was all the rage until watch time was made more important than views.
To be honest, the MrBeast-like editing with all the fast-paced shots and sound effects, mixed with the constant screaming, just ends up entering my brain as noise, I no longer recognize anything
"Being obsessed with retention" to me basically means "catering to the interests and attention spans of children". But these people seem to forget how many late teens to thirty-somethings and above watch TH-cam. It's one approach to take for growth, but imo will not usually allow for long term success and will kill your soul. Lol. There are so many successful educational channels, video essayists, comedy channels directed at adults, and blends of these things that achieve deeper success by actually putting their heart into content that's more than just flashy and loud.
Actually I think too much editing makes it so exhausting you end up turning it off. Meanwhile this video 44 mints and I watched it all cause I can actually focus
@whatever No, my point was obviously that children are only one demographic group on TH-cam and it destroys everything good about the platform to cater exclusively to them. Yeah, more children will always be born but likewise children always grow up and those adults spend more money. And besides that we need some creators to have some sense of integrity in creating half decent content.
@@dingdongshush I didn't intend to exclude the 40-somethings or anyone else, I just stopped it at "30 plus" because it's considered a different demographic above 30 or so. You're valid lol.
I 100% agree with everything you pointed out here. My brother was chosen to go to be in a Mr. Beast video recently. I actually found this video while checking to see if it had come out yet. Neither of us watches his channel, but my brother said he figured it would be a fun experience so he accepted the offer. He later told me and my friends that everything happens so incredibly fast that him and many other contestants could not even process or enjoy what was happening because it was just too chaotic, random, and fast paced. After going back and really trying to watch his videos, I completely get why people may get headaches watching and/or participating in them ahahaha
Yeah true, his channel has become more like a business which has made his videos overall way less enjoying to watch knowing that most of these challenges are just ways of grabbing views and making money
I think a lot of content creators that have collabed with him have also expressed similar concerns where his team reaches out to them for a collab and then the collab is happening in an extremely short timeframe...
The biggest problem is the TikTok-ifying of TH-cam. As more people get used to short-form content, TH-cam videos are trying to imitate the rhythm of them. Being brought up on TV in the 90s, I find it exhausting to watch, but Gen Z has had their attention spans destroyed by fast content overload.
As someone from Gen Z, I agree. Like I can sit and watch a 3 hour movie with no problem but most can't go a minute without looking at the time and being bored.
Over quarantine I had my attention span absolutely shattered by the amount of time I spent on tik tok and recovering from that is very hard, especially when everyone around you is destroying theirs and encouraging you to. The only reason I got tik tok was because of my friends.
As someone who grew up when there was a crash dieting epidemic among teenage girls (and guys, but primarily girls,) seeing the video where MrBeast starves himself and shows his weight loss set off serious alarm bells in my head. It is SUCH a bad idea to show that to a young, impressionable audience.
I'm so glad someone is finally talking about this, I was thinking of how so many videos nowadays are so "overedited" like I was watching a youtuber called moon and just had to notice how incredibly fast paced his content was, there was not a single pause or a second of silence throughout the whole video. The comments here have reassured me that people won't always want fast content and that you can take it slow on TH-cam and still form a fanbase.
I like Moon’s videos, but MrBeast videos are a little Spin-Off-y for me now. Of course I think MrBeast is a good guy, but spending millions on TH-cam videos when millions of people are STARVING is not acceptable.
I wholeheartedly agree. I have fallen into the mrbeast-ification trap myself as I have tried to grow my channel. Over the past year I saw tremendous growth from using those strategies, fast cuts, etc. but I always felt like I had to fight to keep people entertained. and that feeling of "fighting" to keep people on the video made me feel like I was wasting my own time and effort, because the truth is that if someone doesn't want to watch a video they also shouldn't be forced to by using dopamine hits against them. It felt like I was trying to keep my audience prisoner inside of my videos rather than just letting them have a good time because they like me or they like the content. That made me unhappy to make, and I struggled to pump out videos because it felt like it was an empty-shell of a video. TH-cam has been a game-show recently, but I love movies where you see characters develop because I think that hits home harder and on a deeper more personal level. in the last couple of vlogs ive made, ive purposely slowed down my editing, eliminated cuts, and let people talk more slowly, stopped putting so many sound effects, and eliminated text from the screen when it wasn't necessary. It made me happy to create content again, even if I am going to sacrifice "views" id rather sacrifice that than the human element of a video. Its a lesson I myself am learning, I have to un-learn how to mrbeast-ify myself and my own content and come back to the core of TH-cam so we can move past this stage and into the next one. I love TH-cam and I think were all grateful for what mrbeast has done and will continue to do, but that doesn't mean we all have to act like and pretend to wanna-be mr beast. he's a legend in his own right but that doesn't mean we need a million copycat versions of him running around TH-cam. The Mrbeast copycat era will come to an end when more and more people wake up to the retention brainwashing our desperation for views has led us into. TH-cam still has the potential to connect with people in a positive way even more so than any other platform, it just has to be done correctly and the path must change now before were so lost we can't recognize our own humanity inside of content and storytelling anymore.
A nice comment from a nice TH-camr, Thanks for sharing you point of view, we as viewers don't always get to see thid inner fight youtuber's have with themselves weather to make videos for views or to entertain people. Keep being great.
I started to watch mrbeast right before he really exploded in popularity. Looking back, it was crazy to see his videos get progressively more intense. He went from smashing laptops to being a celebrity in what felt like 2 years.
I started watching him way back when he started doing worst intros and that sort of thing. Well below 100k subs, probably below 50k or even 25k At some point I stopped watching, and like a year or two later, he had blown up and was TH-cam royalty. Everyone was talking about him. Insane rise in popularity and a huge change in content direction. I haven’t really watched anything he’s done in years
Ironically (or not), this video VERY MUCH stood out to me, grasped and sustained my attention, had me engaged for almost 45mins straight and made me subscribe to your channel.
I think Ryan Trahan is genuinely the best content creator on TH-cam. He can turn "boring" ideas like sitting in a room in silence for 60 minutes, building a shelter in the woods, and racing an old man on an airport walkway into actually entertaining and funny videos which show off his personality. Guy can make stories from thin air
@@h0ser If theres one thing I can stand its youtubers who spend all of their time metagaming the algorithm for the most popularity possible, it takes away any human element from the content and it just turns into corperate nothingness
My favourite IRL content creator is Ryan Trahan because all his videos have this sort of implict development and ends with a message. It may be just me, but his videos always seem meaningful to me, like in his 30 day series, he met so many people who were genuinely so kind and friendly, and that really put a smile on my face. It’s like his videos themselves don’t focus on flashiness or anything and he just wants to use TH-cam as a voice to communicate a message.
Yea, Ryan Trahan is definitely a really good TH-camr along with Airrack who I think is the better version of MrBeast since he is able to capture that feeling that old MrBeast videos where it was just him and his friends having good chemistry and having a main goal to accomplish while also making better and better videos
Never heard of the guy, but my 2 cents are on it's more a yt problem than a creators problem. Yt now basically pushes for the 'soulless, sanitized, kids-safe' stuff, not much different from cable tv. If the guy made money with it, good for him. Fact is, yt is no longer the platform for weirdos and no filters creators it once was.
@@DarkLorddReviews i only know him as the annoy honey guy that wants me to put honey on every computer in the house and if i do it i get nothing worst challenge reward ever
I miss the transition era of mrbeast where it was just him and his friends goofing off doing fun stuff, it made you care way more about the people winning things because you actually got to know them, like the first "first to leave the circle" video. Nowadays all his friends are in his content are loud guys who yell at the contestants
Yeah that first circle video was amazing, it's calm, it builds characters and relationships, it takes the time to let you immerse yourself and care about whoever wins The new shit is just some random person getting yelled at and winning thousands of dollars while giving no time to learn who they are, and by the end you've forgotten their name
@@blokvader8283 I actually really liked the crashed jet video, but i feel like actually great mrbeast videos are the exceptions now, whereas they used to be the norm
You know, my youngest son is 17, and we have been watching youtube together for a long time. When he was younger, his turn for a video would drive me crazy.. I'd kind of feel like I was losing my mind. I never could see what it was that I hated so much.. It felt like everyone was on speed, including me. I'm not sure why I needed the endless cuts stuff pointed out for me, but at least I no longer feel like I was just being judgy about youngster centered content. Also, the poverty porn is really gross.
I have never once seen a single MrBeast video and at this point, it's being shoved in my face so much that I refuse to out of spite. Like, I'm sure his videos are fine, fun even, but I keep feeling like I could pretty much get the gist of the video just from the thumbnail and title
100% how I feel. nothing personal, he seems great and actually cares abt making his content decent, but his approach to TH-cam I think has been detrimental to the platform
I too have never seen one and although I don't care any which way about it. It's simply just not my kind of content. I have however, watched the Joe Rogan interview and now this. I'm a person of substance 🧐😄
pop off king this video is SO good so well written, amazing lighting, great fits also, fidias looks like a villainous mouse idk how else to describe it
I'm a nanny to a little boy who worships Mrbeast, he's only ten so to him Mrbeast is the coolest man ever! I'd normally just right it off, little boys try to emulate their idols all the time, but seeing the "I stopped eating for 30 days" makes me hesitate. it's hard enough trying to get him to eat on a normal occasion, I have to fight him sometimes even, so what if he watches or has watched that particular video and has it in his head "well Mrbeast went days without eating" he's seriously always concerned about gaining weight as it is so for him to see his idol do it, to see his idol celebrating losing weight while on a crash diet- what message will that send him? Mrbeast and his clones are marketed towards kids, like I can't see anyone in their twenties or up watching more than a few of his videos and enjoying it, usually what they put on screen is harmless stupid fun, but then there are those videos that really aren't so harmless.
Bruh I just randomly clicked on this video to have it play in the background and actually ended up listening to the whole thing. Turns out you don't need to have your video commit mental assault through cancerous editing to keep the public engaged, if you actually just speak about interesting stuff and make good points. Top tier stuff
A thought that struck me is that what Jerma's been doing is the *good* version of increased production, he has a crew and a set and all that but instead of just recreating game shows he does unique things that directly interact with his stream chat.
To add on, the genre has changed a lot recently. Back in the past when we had these awesome gaming TH-camrs, irl TH-camrs, etc.. the videos were longer not much edited, and were just soothing to listen to. Nowadays every youtube video is filled with sensory overload. Old TH-camrs are something of the past, they either fell off, quit or are not appealing to today's generation
this type of editing gives me a headache and i absolutely loooathe it. i often cant even watch commentary channels reviewing the videos bc the editing stresses me out so much. I made it to the end of this video tho, i pushed through damn pinely you did the impossible
I have ADHD, my attention span is short, but I need moments to breathe and reflect! I find the frenetic pacing of these videos not just annoying and overwhelming, but also insulting. You don't have to yell at me in an overly excited tone the whole time to keep my attention, just make the content good.
@@bigpots9142 No. 40min is nothing for deep dives. I usually watch 2-3 hour deep dives, JCS interrogations and such. Everyone has their own taste, their own pace.
Just finished it. Milked the hell out of this video. It was good therapy for me. You perfectly articulated what I felt and thought no one else was noticing it. Subbed!!
You freaking nailed this, I want old TH-cam back - it's almost like we have no choice but to feed the algorithm the Mr.Beastification versions of videos because that's what ends up working in the algorithm and paying the bills
I am still thinking, that I am literally watching this video since past 30 minutes and still can't leave or skip a second. Well, you are not overediting but your delivery is soo good that your video kept me so engaged.
I feel like the mindset is such a big part of it. If mr beast finished those 14 days and then started restricting, feeling guilty after eating or starting to binge eat, then that would probably be an eating disorder. But if he just started eating normally then I don't see how that would be considered one
No. An eating disorder is when you behave in a way you dont choose. MrBeast chose to not eat for 30 days BUT only for 30 days and then continue eating a healthy amount. If someone has an ED, they don't choose to eat or not to eat, their ED makes them do so. They can't just simply start or stop eating.
@@jil12345in the age of the internet, this isn’t correct anymore. Many people are educated enough about EDs from a young age that they’re able to recognize certain patterns in themselves that they recognize they are in a dangerous position. However the disorder creates such an ambivalence around your own health that you don’t care enough to want to get yourself help, or you’re actively so sick that you do it on purpose but WANT to die from it. Eating disorders are not cookie cutter and most people know what they are when they see it… What you’re saying is factually incorrect and dangerous. Knowledge of one’s own behaviors has absolutely nothing to do with diagnosis of an ED.
@@jil12345no, if you have an ED that's the whole point. You choose not to eat or eat. It's not out of your control. That's literally the whole point. Control. An ED is not a different entity controlling you.
@@The_Saintess of course it's not another entity. But with an ED it is not a choice in the sense of what choice means. An ED is an illness and your eating behaviour is not under your control if you suffer from one. Of course there isn't physically anything that would stop you from eating but it is still not a conscious choice.
If anyone is curious about what it is like to be on the spectrum the dizzying cuts, the bright colors, the loud voices and sound effects, and the chaos of trying to keep up with what's going on is what it feels like if I spend more than 10 minutes inside of a store. The only things it can't make you experience is the jittery feelings similar to how you feel after having way too much caffeine and the sensation of bugs crawling under your skin.
It also can't recreate the spacy feeling where everything feels slightly muted and dreamlike. Its a similar feeling to being relaxed in a bath but the warmth or comfort is replaced with intrusive thoughts.
This is why I only follow creators who are led by their drive to create, not by appeasing the algorithm. Sadly YT heavily pushes more corporate content so I have to be deliberate about what I click on. I have never watched a Mr Beast video because I knew what it was, but appreciate this general look at “the problem” (if we can even call it that because it seems to be what YT wants).
Woah. This is my first video of yours I’ve seen… this was a relief to watch. My gooooodness. I’ve felt this way for a while and haven’t heard anyone go into this much detail. So thanks
Idk about your retention rates but damn I love your videos Pinely, I really like how you transitioned from anonymous box character to you just talking about really interesting stuff... At least for me, of course
When ever I watch a Mr beast video I feel like a cog in a machine, but when I watch someone like Ryan Trahan. I feel like I’m watching a video a friend has made.
The funny part is that Ryan Trahan purposely does his videos like so you feel like that, he found a very good way to manipulate y’all so you’re still a cog in his machine
yeah no… ryan is just as soulless and corperate as mr beast, especially this year he almost exclusively does scummy attention grabbing videos with no substance. used to love his content but nowadays it feels like im watching a corperate social experiment
@@AliceB0 oh well it's cool that you know me so well then. How'd you come to this brilliant conclusion? Pull it out of the same place you keep your head?
from someone with a past eating disorder, the food video was so uncomfortable and i can easily see it triggering ppl who are actively recovering, hell even the thumbnail can be taken as a challenge to someone with disordered eating, but for him to show off how much weight he lost while starving himself thats so incredibly irresponsible and dangerous i sincerely hope youtube removes it or he adds a disclaimer/trigger warning because thats just an advertisement for anorexia as a weight loss tool (even if he includes the negative aspect of starving ppl with eating disorders will disregard them or view them as challenges or signs of success)
He did add about 5 warning through out the video pointing out that you could die if you do the challange and that he has a team of doctors monotiring him 24/7 through out the challange.
lol...jeez. I have a history with eating disorders and before I read this comment, in my mind I was like "only 30 days? I could do that" ;___; ... NO !!!!
The worst part of MrBeast's explosion on TH-cam is that every single TH-cam video now starts with "I DID _____ IN _____ AND _____ HAPPENED!" accompanied by those words flying across the screen. From MrBeast's own videos to Tiktok reactions to Mario Party videos, they all start exactly the same.
I think this phenomenon is indicative of something TH-cam overall is slowly undergoing. Dan Olsen talked about this phenomenon in his (absurdly good) video on NFTs. He talked about how, when the internet started out, anyone could make a webpage pretty easily. But, as the internet grew, creating a website began to require more dedicated work and high levels of skill, so more causal hobbyists turned to platforms or templates, while only the most dedicate specialist could still create popular webpages. Then that, in turn, grew to where it is now, where the industry has been so specialized and the barrier to entry is so high, that people have reached critical mass in a few different social media platforms. I think that increased expectation of quality, and therefore increased requirements of money and specialization, are happening to TH-cam. And this genre of video is a product of that. I don’t think it spells the Beastification of all TH-cam content, at least not right now, but it’s worth thinking about.
@@Snehu not really. The difference in what he’s explaining is that TH-cam is a massive platform with 3 billion users. It just means those channels will be like Tseries, Mrbeast Cocomelon. Child friendly youtubers. It doesn’t mean normal content will be banished. Like how selling on Amazon is still possible for beginners when there are companies worth 100s of billions and sometimes even trillions (Apple)
Your room is so nice lol, the bright yellow walls and your pink-ish shirt contrast really well and I didn't expect to stay for the entire 44 minute video. Really entertaining!
@@SuperM789 Is it tho? Tell me copies of Mr Beast who are just like him but boring or scummy would exist on this scale, helping contribute to the destruction of the modern attention span at this level if there wasn't an economic incentive

Same. Idk what exactly but there's something about that editing style that just annoys me. And I know that it's not that I don't like fast editing, Max0r is a favorite channel of mine and his editing is like someone shot a machine gun directly into your brain.
THIS.
I have ADHD also, and I get immediately overwhelmed by the standard TH-cam editing style.
It’s funny how there needs to be the perfect balance of dynamic editing. If there’s not enough variation I get bored and tap away, but if there’s too much it’s just total sensory overwhelm!
OMG SAME
As someone who also has ADHD, I couldn't agree more!
I think this is why I've moved far more towards watching video essays. It feels like all forms of content have began to learn towards just "spending loads of money" except for video essays, mainly because the intentions of them are solely a personal and niece topic. Whilst this is obviously not 100% of essayists I feel that the personal quality is what I really crave in the content I watch.
Anyways great vid pinely
do you have any channel recommendations for video essays?
@@lilgrey8363 Jacob Geller is a personal favorite. Does stuff like "fear of the cold" or "fear of the dark" and stuff.
"spending loads of money" Money that I'm sure Beast writes off on his taxes as charity. Plus all these big channels that whine about "high production value" are just ridiculous. The same quality could be achieved by a couple modern iPhones, a green screen, and a medium-level laptop for a fraction of the cost. Funny how we're supposed to believe they need a $1000 camera just to use as a facecam.
@@lilgrey8363 Emplemon is a pretty good one
@@lilgrey8363 j aubrey and the right opinion are good
hyper editing really appeals to kids nowadays, and mr beast really took that type of editing mainstream.
It always has. Just look at american television in general compared to European editing
Hyper editing has always been a thing on TH-cam, from the loud copyright free music playing in the background of kids videos to the break neck speed of pacing of…you guessed it. Kids videos.
And kids have strong re-watchability that explains how mrbeast pulls millions futher time
Ytp have existed long before Mr. Beast, I would argue that they started hyper editings shift to mainstream. Ytps aren't too good when you grow up, but Mr Beast isn't either so
@@Miriam_J_ yes while both styles of content use lots of edits, they are fundamentally different. If you take the edits out of a ytp, you lose the whole point of a ytp. Mr. Beast and his clones can use a more low-intensity style of editing and still end up with fundamentally the same video.
Aged well. Mr Beast getting cancelled.
Why though
@@thomaspau211 A fellow by the nickname of "DogPack404" who had worked for MrBeast exposed some scummy ways he makes his money, and based on the description for the video he has more to expose.
Isn't that just Kris
@thomaspau211 umm maybe because he doesn't actually give a fck bout the poor people and does all that shi for money and fame.
Answers to arguments that might come from mr, beast defense league :
No, he doesn't donate all his money he makes from the videos to the poor people ( what are you fucking 12)
Yes, he did take a smallloan from the govt during covid whilst people were out there struggling [ 300,000 < small loan < a million dollars ]
No, the poor people shouldn't just be happy that they got at least something even if they didn't win the show.
@@thomaspau211 He wasn't paying the winners of his contests and the participants were mistreated on set. One woman didn't get food for 20 hours and when she was finally given food, it was half a banana.
What’s more frustrating is that a MrBeast challenge would actually be more interesting if it was slow-paced with actual personality. Seeing the thought process and and in-depth techniques behind these crazy shenanigans would be really interesting. But instead it’s all conveyed in a lightning-fast stream of hyperedited gibble-gobble that no one could ever possibly keep up with.
I agree, many of his older challenges that he did with his friends took this approach. The videos showed how the challenges were completed and followed all the friends, making you invested in who was going to win. I think he could do something similar with random people, but as you said, he should take his time letting us get acquainted with them individually, show more of their personalities, and show how these challenges are set up. He could also do behind-the-scenes videos which could help solve this issue.
Exactly! That would be great. We already see the fast-paced, overedited stuff on TV, but you know what I and other people have always thought? "It'd be cool to see a reality/game-show that's _actually_ real." Combining it with the personal element TH-cam was known for would be great.
They’re not making this content for adults with attention spans though. They’re making the content for kids. My 10 year old son is attracted to the hyper, yelling, crazy content like a moth to a lightbulb. I have to seriously regulate his devices and what I let him watch or he will sit and watch related video after related video for hours on end. They know what they’re doing when they make content like this, and it’s not for us.
Yeah his videos feel like YT kids content now
This
was drawn to this video due to sharing the same opinions, and oh boy after hearing your thoughts on the editing preventing what could have been a really interesting video with the not eating video, I would love to hear your opinion on the man who was stuck in a circle for 100 days. what a waste of what could have been one of the most interesting videos on the platform.
I feel bad for that guy, he couldnt meet his family for weeks on end, couldnt go anywhere, its like quarantine but without family. Btw hi wadzee
True, that was a good video, but I agree: I feel like I didn't get to know they guy as well as I should have. I just know the highest and lowest points but not much in between.
Agreed, if MrBeast were to make his videos have more depth and longer it would probably draw more people in and be a lot more interesting
100 days watered down to 18 minutes with some quick zappy screen effects, it's sad
common wadzee w
I’d like to point out that Mr Beast had a golden period when he really blew up where Jimmy struck the right balance of relatability and the typical TH-cam insanity.
Things like spending a full day in a desert with a group of friends or being buried alive for a night are like dumb ideas that cross your mind in conversation. And there were even storylines(Chandler never winning any challenges for example) that were like running jokes within a friend-group.
But nowadays his remaining friends are more like crew members that’re obliged to be there and do jobs in the videos.
Said it better than I could 😭 I used to watch him/them all a lot and after a while it just became so... much. Like it became a chore to watch them since so much was happening, and it's so hard to relate to them now imo
I like MrBeast but the challenges he did with his friends are better than the new one’s with random subscribers
I never realized how much his content changed, but you're so right! Like, every video was crazy, they had funny and interesting moments. The video's are now just one long moment (if that makes sense). I miss the old video's, they were really good.
This! I haven’t seen any good chandler moments in years, he was my favorite person on the channel and now they just kinda seem like his employees who only feel obligated to be there, what sucks is that all of the funny moments with his friends that would typically happen in 2018-2020 videos probably still happen while filming but are cut so we can get to the point of the video, even though the funny and relatable moments with his friends were the best part of his old vids
Ikr, I remember when his friends actually had personality. Like chandler pooping all the time, chris being good at survival, viking being strong. But now its just like their robots,
"I spent 100 hours in the world's poorest country."
Does "100 hours" sound longer and cooler than "4 days"?
yeah, 100 is big and kids love big number
I think you know the answer to that lol
Well... it sounds cooler and it is 4 hours longer
Yeah, it does sound longer because it is easier for people to operate on a logarithmic scale. Not to mention 100 hour/day videos are also trending so it would likely get more views.
this exact video idea was on my next up list but you did a better job than i would of, well done home slice

Onma island is buried a treasure chest
Wow this was incredible and accurate. For me, I think what annoys me the most is the copycats. There's no personality and half of their videos are faked / exaggerated. I've always felt my own videos were too boring, not kept up with todays standards to keep retention, but after watching this, I felt a lot better. I've always tried to be myself and not some copycat robot and this video really spoke to me. Thank you for speaking what so many of us creators wanted to put into words. It's just sad the algorithm is rewarding this type of content right now. TH-cam needs to go back to their roots and remember what made this site successful to begin with IMO..
Your videos have a very enjoyable pace Matt! The editing is good and I appreciate that you keep things high energy without being fake or over the top. I'm 32 but have watched your videos for as long as I've been on TH-cam. Probably a testament to the quality of your content!
Keep it up, and cool to see you here 😎
My dude
You are what I always wanted to be as a kid
You are a goddamn national treasure, never change
It's not just the algorithm, it's the people clicking and watching the videos. If people didn't give these creators/videos millions of views, they wouldn't make this content.
@@mcmandy086That's like blaming society for capitalism because they buy stuff from Amazon. true, but stupid
is it really their fault for not having personality? after all, the person they are trying to copy also doesn't have personality. in this video, Mr beast himself said having personality is bad for making videos. mr beast doesn't have any personality. he is just chasing trends in TH-cam algorithm. why can't other people do the same? it's like saying Emma Chamberlain is a copy cat because Casey Neistat invented vlogging and only he can vlog, no one else can.
this is what jacksepticeye meant when he said he doesn't like mr.beast

Thoughtfulness and writing is always more important than any visuals or crazy editing.

@@Pinely No problem. And that wasn't meant to insult any older videos you might've made. It's just I've noticed a trend after watching TH-cam for years now that some creators stagnate and clearly stop enjoying what they do at all to a point where it ruins the channel. And then others seem to grow personally and go for something better for their own fulfillment and it sets them up for a better situation long term. It's cool to see, and I'll keep tuning in. (I was talking about the JPEGMAFIA shirt by the way, but then that shirt went away lol)

I think a lot of the "MrBeast-ification" also comes down to youtubers realising how profitable young kids are, so they deliberately make the content super quick and digestable since their attention spans are so low
It is kinda sad that the next generation all are becoming manipulated by corporate businesses pandering to the most vulnerable. It really goes to show that no company cares about wellbeing, only profit whether purposefully or not.
Exactly, mrbeasts videos nowadays are like 7 minutes long
yup.
@@t6mal most of his videos are like 15 minutes or longer
Exactly! It’s not a youtube video it’s 15 TikTok’s in a trenchcoat.
mr. beast use to be a favourite channel of mine, specifically in the "jimmy and his friends do dumb shit" era where he and his friends conveyed genuine chemistry and were hilarious, and not as family friendly. now when I watch a mr. beast video it feels like im reading a school textbook in the sense that its is just genuinely a bother to consume.
you described it *P E R F E C T L Y* 10/10!!!
the weird thing for me is that his videos have like anti-clickbait to me (even though they're not supposed to). It looks like it will be boring, but it's actually a lot more interesting than I would've thought
yeah like his "we spent 24 hours in [random place]" videos where he and his crew would just go into the wilderness and fuck around for a day, or where he'd have his own crew doing challenges and it wouldn't so much revolve around who wins but the relationships between them (like that one penny for every view video)
Ok
Eh the older ones were somewhat cringe
the eating one is incredibly scary for his audience demographic, losing weight like that is rarely long term is very dangerous and can give you an eating disorder that can put you in hospital if you don't manage to recover and eat normal healthy amounts again. As somebody who nearly lost a friend to anorexia this shit scares me so much
Also 21 days without food is enough to be lethal this whole video idea is just disgusting and completely irresponsible especially with how much youtubers like that like to one up each other
one thing i absolutely HATE about Matthew Beam is that he does not shut up about MrBeast. Like his entire personality is knowing MrBeast. In his MrBeast island video he calls every single fucking thing “Mrbeast.” eg. “MrBeast cave” “MrBeast pathway” like it’s not his thing 💀😭

In the D&D community we have a phrase called "The Matt Mercer Effect" because there is the Dungeon Master named Matthew Mercer (most famous from critical role) who is perceived as such a perfect Dungeon Master that everyone tries to emulate him not really realizing that his abilities are a skill he worked on and it makes people deny their own skills in exchange for trying to be a better dungeon master
This kinda feels like the same situation
The difference is that Mercer Effect is there because Mercer is doing his own thing, with no regard for replicability. Beast is intentionally acting as a template devoid of individuality. So, the Mercer Effect is because people are not doing what Mercer's doing (playing to their own strengths) while the Beast Effect is because they are successfully doing what Beast is doing.
To me, Matt Mercer will always be an amazing voice actor. His skills as an actor help him with being a DM. ❤
JOTARO!
That guy plays Levi Ackermann
I'd add that the issue with the Matt Mercer Effect is also that it doesn't take into account the personality of the table that aspiring DM plays at and their playstyle and also the personality and the strengths of the DM themselves. It is a pretty good analogy for what's happening with Mr beast :(

In general TH-cam is just getting weird now as everyone is getting homogenized. Sorry I get your points though it feels weird when we talk about editing and retention as you have an edit after ever sentence or two of it zoomed in and cropped on you, slow zoom in, close up crop. With it just cycling over and over which is now the hall mark of people holding up microphones to their mouth video essayists thing.
In 2012, PewDiePie made history and recreated the Let's Play videos and popularized it to the extent that until now, all other gaming youtubers are doing the same thing.
Now, in 2022, the MrBeast clones are doing the same thing.
Same with Casey vlogs back in the day. Every vlogger was just a mini Casey
@Daruki Neo did i say he created vlogs? lol
Time is a flat circle
@Daruki Neo He made the other vloggers up their production value. Before Casey, vlogs were just recorded on a phone and poorly edited. Casey came along and basically made a mini cinematic video with his vlogs
Yep, as the TH-cam algorithm has been adjusted and viewer expectations have evolved, there's always a new trend that people jump on and milk dry. Back in the day it was Angry Video Game Nerd's over the top game "reviews" that spawned a bunch of imitators. It was all the rage until watch time was made more important than views.
You know, if I were to describe Pinely, I would say he's pretty loud, maybe even charitable.
At least he doesn't have the hyper editing style
If I were to describe Tugboat, I would say he's pretty loud, maybe even charitable.
If I were to describe jasonmicheal2457, I would say hes pretty loud, maybe even charitable.

"Being obsessed with retention" to me basically means "catering to the interests and attention spans of children". But these people seem to forget how many late teens to thirty-somethings and above watch TH-cam. It's one approach to take for growth, but imo will not usually allow for long term success and will kill your soul. Lol. There are so many successful educational channels, video essayists, comedy channels directed at adults, and blends of these things that achieve deeper success by actually putting their heart into content that's more than just flashy and loud.
Actually I think too much editing makes it so exhausting you end up turning it off. Meanwhile this video 44 mints and I watched it all cause I can actually focus
Also 40 somethings. *coughs*
@whatever No, my point was obviously that children are only one demographic group on TH-cam and it destroys everything good about the platform to cater exclusively to them. Yeah, more children will always be born but likewise children always grow up and those adults spend more money. And besides that we need some creators to have some sense of integrity in creating half decent content.
@@dingdongshush I didn't intend to exclude the 40-somethings or anyone else, I just stopped it at "30 plus" because it's considered a different demographic above 30 or so. You're valid lol.
@@kidamnesiak1 Thank you! 🤣😭
I 100% agree with everything you pointed out here. My brother was chosen to go to be in a Mr. Beast video recently. I actually found this video while checking to see if it had come out yet. Neither of us watches his channel, but my brother said he figured it would be a fun experience so he accepted the offer. He later told me and my friends that everything happens so incredibly fast that him and many other contestants could not even process or enjoy what was happening because it was just too chaotic, random, and fast paced. After going back and really trying to watch his videos, I completely get why people may get headaches watching and/or participating in them ahahaha
Yeah true, his channel has become more like a business which has made his videos overall way less enjoying to watch knowing that most of these challenges are just ways of grabbing views and making money
I think a lot of content creators that have collabed with him have also expressed similar concerns where his team reaches out to them for a collab and then the collab is happening in an extremely short timeframe...
@@Space_Vulture dude has turned from quality to quantity, its really sad to see
The biggest problem is the TikTok-ifying of TH-cam. As more people get used to short-form content, TH-cam videos are trying to imitate the rhythm of them. Being brought up on TV in the 90s, I find it exhausting to watch, but Gen Z has had their attention spans destroyed by fast content overload.
As someone from Gen Z, I agree. Like I can sit and watch a 3 hour movie with no problem but most can't go a minute without looking at the time and being bored.
Over quarantine I had my attention span absolutely shattered by the amount of time I spent on tik tok and recovering from that is very hard, especially when everyone around you is destroying theirs and encouraging you to. The only reason I got tik tok was because of my friends.
Yup. Gen Z here and I can't even read a novel anymore.
I’d rather watch an hours long video essay than a 3 minute TikTok video.
@@pinkypaca My boi👍
As someone who grew up when there was a crash dieting epidemic among teenage girls (and guys, but primarily girls,) seeing the video where MrBeast starves himself and shows his weight loss set off serious alarm bells in my head. It is SUCH a bad idea to show that to a young, impressionable audience.
I'm so glad someone is finally talking about this, I was thinking of how so many videos nowadays are so "overedited" like I was watching a youtuber called moon and just had to notice how incredibly fast paced his content was, there was not a single pause or a second of silence throughout the whole video. The comments here have reassured me that people won't always want fast content and that you can take it slow on TH-cam and still form a fanbase.
I like Moon’s videos, but MrBeast videos are a little Spin-Off-y for me now. Of course I think MrBeast is a good guy, but spending millions on TH-cam videos when millions of people are STARVING is not acceptable.

I wholeheartedly agree. I have fallen into the mrbeast-ification trap myself as I have tried to grow my channel. Over the past year I saw tremendous growth from using those strategies, fast cuts, etc. but I always felt like I had to fight to keep people entertained. and that feeling of "fighting" to keep people on the video made me feel like I was wasting my own time and effort, because the truth is that if someone doesn't want to watch a video they also shouldn't be forced to by using dopamine hits against them. It felt like I was trying to keep my audience prisoner inside of my videos rather than just letting them have a good time because they like me or they like the content. That made me unhappy to make, and I struggled to pump out videos because it felt like it was an empty-shell of a video. TH-cam has been a game-show recently, but I love movies where you see characters develop because I think that hits home harder and on a deeper more personal level. in the last couple of vlogs ive made, ive purposely slowed down my editing, eliminated cuts, and let people talk more slowly, stopped putting so many sound effects, and eliminated text from the screen when it wasn't necessary. It made me happy to create content again, even if I am going to sacrifice "views" id rather sacrifice that than the human element of a video. Its a lesson I myself am learning, I have to un-learn how to mrbeast-ify myself and my own content and come back to the core of TH-cam so we can move past this stage and into the next one. I love TH-cam and I think were all grateful for what mrbeast has done and will continue to do, but that doesn't mean we all have to act like and pretend to wanna-be mr beast. he's a legend in his own right but that doesn't mean we need a million copycat versions of him running around TH-cam. The Mrbeast copycat era will come to an end when more and more people wake up to the retention brainwashing our desperation for views has led us into. TH-cam still has the potential to connect with people in a positive way even more so than any other platform, it just has to be done correctly and the path must change now before were so lost we can't recognize our own humanity inside of content and storytelling anymore.
A nice comment from a nice TH-camr, Thanks for sharing you point of view, we as viewers don't always get to see thid inner fight youtuber's have with themselves weather to make videos for views or to entertain people. Keep being great.

Very poignant piece of self-reflection here. Gives me a lot to think about with what I want to do with my own channel (separate account). Thank you.
I started to watch mrbeast right before he really exploded in popularity. Looking back, it was crazy to see his videos get progressively more intense. He went from smashing laptops to being a celebrity in what felt like 2 years.
I started watching him way back when he started doing worst intros and that sort of thing. Well below 100k subs, probably below 50k or even 25k
At some point I stopped watching, and like a year or two later, he had blown up and was TH-cam royalty. Everyone was talking about him.
Insane rise in popularity and a huge change in content direction. I haven’t really watched anything he’s done in years
@@tildey6661 same I stopped watching him when lots of his videos started being giving away stuff and money

Ironically (or not), this video VERY MUCH stood out to me, grasped and sustained my attention, had me engaged for almost 45mins straight and made me subscribe to your channel.
I think Ryan Trahan is genuinely the best content creator on TH-cam. He can turn "boring" ideas like sitting in a room in silence for 60 minutes, building a shelter in the woods, and racing an old man on an airport walkway into actually entertaining and funny videos which show off his personality.

My favourite IRL content creator is Ryan Trahan because all his videos have this sort of implict development and ends with a message. It may be just me, but his videos always seem meaningful to me, like in his 30 day series, he met so many people who were genuinely so kind and friendly, and that really put a smile on my face. It’s like his videos themselves don’t focus on flashiness or anything and he just wants to use TH-cam as a voice to communicate a message.
Right!!
Yea, Ryan Trahan is definitely a really good TH-camr along with Airrack who I think is the better version of MrBeast since he is able to capture that feeling that old MrBeast videos where it was just him and his friends having good chemistry and having a main goal to accomplish while also making better and better videos
Ryan Trahan is what Mr. Beast fans think Mr. Beast is. Ryan Trahan is incredibly nice, incredibly generous, and down to earth.

Never heard of the guy, but my 2 cents are on it's more a yt problem than a creators problem. Yt now basically pushes for the 'soulless, sanitized, kids-safe' stuff, not much different from cable tv. If the guy made money with it, good for him.

You know, my youngest son is 17, and we have been watching youtube together for a long time. When he was younger, his turn for a video would drive me crazy.. I'd kind of feel like I was losing my mind. I never could see what it was that I hated so much.. It felt like everyone was on speed, including me.
I'm not sure why I needed the endless cuts stuff pointed out for me, but at least I no longer feel like I was just being judgy about youngster centered content.

I have never once seen a single MrBeast video and at this point, it's being shoved in my face so much that I refuse to out of spite. Like, I'm sure his videos are fine, fun even, but I keep feeling like I could pretty much get the gist of the video just from the thumbnail and title
100% how I feel. nothing personal, he seems great and actually cares abt making his content decent, but his approach to TH-cam I think has been detrimental to the platform
yeah at this point, i have not ever watched one of his videos and i might as well continue that streak
@@slightlyoffensivedadjokes TH-cam is detrimental to its own platform. They’re the ones who award Jimmy with his style of content

I'm a nanny to a little boy who worships Mrbeast, he's only ten so to him Mrbeast is the coolest man ever! I'd normally just right it off, little boys try to emulate their idols all the time, but seeing the "I stopped eating for 30 days" makes me hesitate. it's hard enough trying to get him to eat on a normal occasion, I have to fight him sometimes even, so what if he watches or has watched that particular video and has it in his head "well Mrbeast went days without eating" he's seriously always concerned about gaining weight as it is so for him to see his idol do it, to see his idol celebrating losing weight while on a crash diet- what message will that send him? Mrbeast and his clones are marketed towards kids, like I can't see anyone in their twenties or up watching more than a few of his videos and enjoying it, usually what they put on screen is harmless stupid fun, but then there are those videos that really aren't so harmless.
Bruh I just randomly clicked on this video to have it play in the background and actually ended up listening to the whole thing. Turns out you don't need to have your video commit mental assault through cancerous editing to keep the public engaged, if you actually just speak about interesting stuff and make good points. Top tier stuff
completely agreed
A thought that struck me is that what Jerma's been doing is the *good* version of increased production, he has a crew and a set and all that but instead of just recreating game shows he does unique things that directly interact with his stream chat.
This is about to get very relevant again
True
To add on, the genre has changed a lot recently. Back in the past when we had these awesome gaming TH-camrs, irl TH-camrs, etc.. the videos were longer not much edited, and were just soothing to listen to. Nowadays every youtube video is filled with sensory overload. Old TH-camrs are something of the past, they either fell off, quit or are not appealing to today's generation
They still exist, I think they're just harder to find nowadays
this type of editing gives me a headache and i absolutely loooathe it. i often cant even watch commentary channels reviewing the videos bc the editing stresses me out so much. I made it to the end of this video tho, i pushed through damn pinely you did the impossible
I have ADHD, my attention span is short, but I need moments to breathe and reflect! I find the frenetic pacing of these videos not just annoying and overwhelming, but also insulting. You don't have to yell at me in an overly excited tone the whole time to keep my attention, just make the content good.
Exactly, it’s just so suffocating trying to watch these type of videos

No. 40min is nothing for deep dives. I usually watch 2-3 hour deep dives, JCS interrogations and such. Everyone has their own taste, their own pace.

Hi cscoop this is a weird place to find you
Is it bad that the second I saw that Matt Been guy or whatever I thought “oh look, fat cscoop”. (It was the hair)
"I didn't eat for 30 days" that's called an eating disorder
I feel like the mindset is such a big part of it. If mr beast finished those 14 days and then started restricting, feeling guilty after eating or starting to binge eat, then that would probably be an eating disorder. But if he just started eating normally then I don't see how that would be considered one
No. An eating disorder is when you behave in a way you dont choose. MrBeast chose to not eat for 30 days BUT only for 30 days and then continue eating a healthy amount. If someone has an ED, they don't choose to eat or not to eat, their ED makes them do so. They can't just simply start or stop eating.
@@jil12345in the age of the internet, this isn’t correct anymore. Many people are educated enough about EDs from a young age that they’re able to recognize certain patterns in themselves that they recognize they are in a dangerous position. However the disorder creates such an ambivalence around your own health that you don’t care enough to want to get yourself help, or you’re actively so sick that you do it on purpose but WANT to die from it.
Eating disorders are not cookie cutter and most people know what they are when they see it… What you’re saying is factually incorrect and dangerous. Knowledge of one’s own behaviors has absolutely nothing to do with diagnosis of an ED.
@@jil12345no, if you have an ED that's the whole point. You choose not to eat or eat. It's not out of your control. That's literally the whole point. Control. An ED is not a different entity controlling you.
@@The_Saintess of course it's not another entity. But with an ED it is not a choice in the sense of what choice means. An ED is an illness and your eating behaviour is not under your control if you suffer from one. Of course there isn't physically anything that would stop you from eating but it is still not a conscious choice.
If anyone is curious about what it is like to be on the spectrum the dizzying cuts, the bright colors, the loud voices and sound effects, and the chaos of trying to keep up with what's going on is what it feels like if I spend more than 10 minutes inside of a store.
The only things it can't make you experience is the jittery feelings similar to how you feel after having way too much caffeine and the sensation of bugs crawling under your skin.

It also can't recreate the spacy feeling where everything feels slightly muted and dreamlike. Its a similar feeling to being relaxed in a bath but the warmth or comfort is replaced with intrusive thoughts.
This is why I only follow creators who are led by their drive to create, not by appeasing the algorithm. Sadly YT heavily pushes more corporate content so I have to be deliberate about what I click on. I have never watched a Mr Beast video because I knew what it was, but appreciate this general look at “the problem” (if we can even call it that because it seems to be what YT wants).
Which is weird, cause I think Mr Beast is the perfect example on how you can do both

from someone with a past eating disorder, the food video was so uncomfortable and i can easily see it triggering ppl who are actively recovering, hell even the thumbnail can be taken as a challenge to someone with disordered eating, but for him to show off how much weight he lost while starving himself thats so incredibly irresponsible and dangerous i sincerely hope youtube removes it or he adds a disclaimer/trigger warning because thats just an advertisement for anorexia as a weight loss tool (even if he includes the negative aspect of starving ppl with eating disorders will disregard them or view them as challenges or signs of success)

Yeah agreed, I personally like watching Mr. Beast’s videos but that video was just unwatchable
i completely agree
The worst part of MrBeast's explosion on TH-cam is that every single TH-cam video now starts with "I DID _____ IN _____ AND _____ HAPPENED!" accompanied by those words flying across the screen. From MrBeast's own videos to Tiktok reactions to Mario Party videos, they all start exactly the same.
Bruh that’s so true lol. It’s everywhere
this aged horrifyingly well ...
I think this phenomenon is indicative of something TH-cam overall is slowly undergoing. Dan Olsen talked about this phenomenon in his (absurdly good) video on NFTs. He talked about how, when the internet started out, anyone could make a webpage pretty easily. But, as the internet grew, creating a website began to require more dedicated work and high levels of skill, so more causal hobbyists turned to platforms or templates, while only the most dedicate specialist could still create popular webpages. Then that, in turn, grew to where it is now, where the industry has been so specialized and the barrier to entry is so high, that people have reached critical mass in a few different social media platforms. I think that increased expectation of quality, and therefore increased requirements of money and specialization, are happening to TH-cam. And this genre of video is a product of that. I don’t think it spells the Beastification of all TH-cam content, at least not right now, but it’s worth thinking about.
That's very scary to think about....
@@Snehu not really. The difference in what he’s explaining is that TH-cam is a massive platform with 3 billion users. It just means those channels will be like Tseries, Mrbeast Cocomelon. Child friendly youtubers. It doesn’t mean normal content will be banished. Like how selling on Amazon is still possible for beginners when there are companies worth 100s of billions and sometimes even trillions (Apple)
Yeah that’s called evolution lol. Welcome to life. The only thing constant is change
Another thing to note:
Think of how easy it would be to make an iconic moment comp from old Mrbeast and how much harder it'd be with new mrbeast
I think it might just be the start of the videos and then who won
Your room is so nice lol, the bright yellow walls and your pink-ish shirt contrast really well and I didn't expect to stay for the entire 44 minute video. Really entertaining!
