This is the first MrBeast video I've watched in 7 years.
It didn't feel like a billion dollar corporation trying to optimize for a video that would get hundreds of millions of views.
It felt like a video that childhood MrBeast dreamed of making. Bringing all of the YouTubers he grew up watching, the ones that inspired him, all in one place so he could hang out with them, and the video, money, and clout were just the leverage to get them all in one place.
It's the same reason why I appreciated Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 3. He used it as an opportunity to show love and meet every childhood hero HE had from actors, musicians, to YouTubers. If he was only after his audience, who are significantly younger, he would have had a completely different cast.
To celebrate 500,000,000 subscribers I invited 50 creators that built YouTube to compete for $1,000,000 for their subs!
Roman Atwood, Casey Neistat, Captain Sparkles, Fousey, Ricegum, Vanoss Gaming, and so many more OGs :D
