MrBeast: Future of YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram | Lex Fridman Podcast #351

when filming, mr beast doesn't see a camera. he sees a person. he is picturing what a viewer is seeing when they are watching.

mr beast: i hate the comment section on youtube. on reddit its nice to click on posts and see what people have to say, but you dont have that same feeling on youtube.

so many people think virality is luck but he thinks it can be trained. people can make excuses and say it's luck mr beast thinks its a teachable, learnable skill.

It’s harder for me to talk to a person, than it is to talk to a camera

It's much easier to get 10M views on 1 video, than 100,000 on 100 videos. Because if you make a good video, it’s so evergreen, and never dies.

All you have to do is make 100 videos and improve something every time

Don't focus on metrics. Just focus on making the best videos possible and the metrics will be taken care of.
