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

Fantastic!!!

Play Scorn Lex ol pal!!!

Thank you! 💖

Goat

Its always fascinating to learn how much time these guys have dedicated to master the art of clickbate headlines, fast paced editing and visual effects to capture peoples attention span and exploit our hardwired vulnerabilities. It would be interesting to know do they ever feel guilt or deep concern about addicting so many people into watching literally billions of hours of mindless entertainment just for the small spike of dopamine, instead any true fulfillment or real lasting satisfaction.🤔 Seems like a taboo subject in these interviews - while being the most obvious one. Jimmy clearly seems to be bothered that people only order fast food from his restaurants that will give them brain cancer, heart disease and diabetes on a global scale, instead buying the healthy options that they have. Seems a bit weird thing to celebrate, get excited about and to be proud of in our culture. Being the predator who hooks school children into gambling, mobile games or sugar just for the better ROI.💸 As entertaining and captivating as the videos may be, nowadays internet addiction is a very real problem affecting millions/billions of people everyday. These digital replacement therapies on a screen rob millions people of their real life achievements, good health, meaningful connection, true love and other priceless things in life. Is it wise to exploit kids and teenagers by making this content as addictive as possible, and turn our vulnerable youth into braindead consumers with 4 second attention span, with no social skills, poor sleep, bad health and unable to focus on their school, career and life full of laughter, love and real adventures?🏝

Exactly

Listening to passionate people also gives you a different view from what you are used to. And it is usually rather inspiring to hear them discuss their chain of thoughts.

Agreed, i don't care about you analytics in the slightest but listening to experts talk about things i don't care about or know anything about is exactly why i watch Lex's videos.

I could listen to Jimmy talk about this for hours. The more he talks the more inspired I get about the subject even though I don't care at the beginning.

It's inspiring

Levy do you sleep or no?

THE ROOOK

Levy I just want to let you know that You're worth more than a queen

He’s worth 2 rooks

Why is Levy here?

Yeah, no offense Dan, but you really are typical. Everything about you is typical. Even the typicalness is typical. What I'm trying to say is that you're that typical kinda typical. But me. I'm special. I'm that special kinda special I wish you great typicality Dan my man. And no. I don't have anything better to do

Literally me too. I'm 42 and think exactly the same thing.

Dan, friend of Dog you are in good company.

@@pbabiesinspace6112why am I also 42 and think the same thing?

thanks chatGPT

Holy moly Lex congrats

It’s like Lex was on lightning round with 5 minutes per question and Mr Beast ate it up.

@@a_l_e_k_sandra What happened during that interview?

@@a_l_e_k_sandra who’s William MacAskill? Honest question.

@@RoyalDetailing661 Google him. Look for yourself

Underatted comment 😂

lol

Gen 1 vs Gen 2 RU-vid Bots.

@@datura_boof In what way?

following..

gave me a cult like vibe

yeah i can see that

lex barely did anything you could sit a dog on his side and they would still have the same conversation

Same here. I also am fascinated with the average mind. (I am on the spectrum) so I watched this video hoping to better understand what "normal" people like to watch, and maybe gain insight into the why they like it. I have never watched Mr Beast before although I had heard the name. Now of course, I am going to have to watch a few to see what the fuss is about. Just on the surface, his thumbnails would not entice me in. His subjects do not grab me, but, that isn't a surprise given that I am not his target audience. Lex does know his audience well. Many of us are just curious people interested in............anything interesting.

Right, I don't plan on doing a channel but wanted to hear every detail on youtube analytics.

Analytics are a window into how people behave, I don't care about analytics but human behaviour is the most fascinating thing.

media and demographics werent there? jk sir

That's really cool. Be well, Sir/Mam.

Average lex viewer

@@BoutiqueTiger whoe jacks...did you notice our numbers...that's a little crazy? No actually I had never heard of Lex, I didn't know people my age watch him.

You know about them. This is exactly what the “typical lex viewer” would say. You are him

@@BoutiqueTiger Self-awareness can be lost on any audience

@@donny5073 Maybe Francesco is trying to error on the side of caution in the absence of data by stating his ignorance up front.

Yep MrBeast was dead wrong on this interview. This is ALL I care about from this conversation

@@beyondhomosapien hahaha 100%. It shows that even he's a genius on RU-vid yet still learning things!

This is where the rules for his customers/viewers don't translate to yours.

Easy to say when you’re the biggest show in town and they all want to come to your place and collab on whatever you want. 😂

Same

Echo that!

You can watch on spotify?

@@seph. yep, I was surprised when I noticed it awhile back. Spotify's interface and usability could be better but I like having it as my podcast hub.

10 billion he said b4 lol..old saying of power corrupting ultimately etc. Mr beast is buying his own media reviews now. Much love and listen to bob marley ❤️

Lex has other amazing interviews just as long and some are 4+ hours.

You’re drop dead gorgeous, darling! 😏😏😏

>videomaking genius

@@demun6065 what about that?

Mr beast is Jupiter himself

@@SuperMarioTomma95 I'm not sure why he'd be referred to as a genius

@@demun6065because the definition of genius is: an exceptionally intelligent person or one with exceptional skill in a particular area of activity (videomaking and virality optimization)

You're absolutely right..... Good evening how are you doing over there hope you're having have a wonderful day it's a wonderful day that the lord has made.

what makes his mind so special? he’s a troll that got famous then started giving away money to make more money😅 that’s all

@@45tqk45 it’s clearly not that simple tho

@@45tqk45 his undying obsessive work ethic

@@45tqk45 His focus on compounding on one skill. Making the best videos possible.

​@@45tqk45if it were that easy everyone would do it

I call bullshit. Wait for it unless he becomes the next bill gates. Everyone can be a "KICK ARSE ENTREPRENEUR" FU×K OFF. He needs counselling or just have good family around him to be grounded.

this often goes for pioneers.... one a "formula" is there, these moneygrabbers come... though YT/content space is pretty cutthroat anyway with all skills given, trained, like high level athlete, so not many can survive long without truly loving it

The most important thing I got from it was that we're doomed. Why is this guy influential and rich? I can only imagine the idiotic videos he makes.

is he"

Bar set low

*THE biggest What do you mean by “still a human?”

Incredibly inspiring

A huge chunk of the in-depth analytics stuff were already discussed by Mr Beast outside of this channel.

@@mikeruusan There's a difference between Mr. Beast talking about it, and Lex and Mr. Beast talking about it. As well, many people here don't watch Mr. Beast (or want to, no offense - I think he's quite obviously great at what he does, just not my cup of tea) and so this is the first we are hearing it.

@@anotheratreyu742 ah. I don't watch Mr. Beast too. But he went on a podcast spree last year (i think). A lot of podcasts that i've been listening to featured him. He's an interesting guy tho.

​@@mikeruusan That's fair, and yes he does seem interesting as a person. I've watched a handful of his videos as he's hard to avoid online and things like the Squid Game video get so much attention - but I would consider myself a fan of his philanthropy and unique intelligence before a fan of his content.

I just realized he meant that he was going to school

That's because we don't need them

@@supEnoc true

Yeah, but... Who is this guy? A RU-vidr?

@@tomaszwota1465 most subcribed youtuber that gets the most views consistently, he spends vast amounts of money on his videos

I agree! Mr beast is amazing 🎉

I think it’s an artistic way for Beast and Lex to create shorts and clips for Tok and Stories.

Their audiences are vastly different

@@jarrodjob Great shout, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Beast was doing it to set up clips!

I cant watch his videos I do not like them at all. I don't understand

You're considering Mr. Beast a master? Bruh, he NEEDS a crew of people to make his videos. He's just a figure head for his videos.

I 😂

@@JuicyJamand they’re not “good” if you have a mind that’s functioning and are trying to live any real life

@@JuicyJam What an extremely short sighted take lmao, he didn't get to this point by accident

So true

Hmmm i have my doubts but not about them, abput the humanity generally speaking abd ehat we came to apreciate, it seems that money is absolutly everyhing...theres nothibg and nobody more important than money and dont even try to tell me otherwise... "Money is power" ok i got it as a concept and its true but the ideea is pushed to a level where nothing in the middle matters ...youre kinda thought as a young men that you should do ehatever it takes to make millions! Be tricky, fake it dosnt matter if you end up with aome millions and some bitches that are going to fallow you wherever you are...its kinds of disgusting to say the least! Its a disturbed reallity where happineas is tight up with alot of money.

@@tiagomota4734 Well worded!

I like how you assume two nerds are awkward 😅

@@tiagomota4734 a sick person who is dying would give away everything they own just to stay alive. a paralyzed person would give away all their money to be able to walk again. money is not everything.

Same!

Same here

To be honest, at the beginning of the video, I was wondering what the Mr. Beast Happy Meal guy I found out about from my then six-year-old son (before I removed RU-vid Kids from his iPad) was doing on this podcast, but then later on, I realized it is to share his marketing and content creation capabilities, built upon his own self-criticism and drive for continuous learning. It was a good video.

well said better than how i put it

The Passion and intellect that’s involved in making ‘Click-bait’ ads is nearly unimaginable 🤔 I hate ads

👍 👌 I could never have articulated this well EXACTLY how I feel about Lex, Mr. Beast and this episode! You are my long lost twin brotha form anotha motha! 😆 we have the same type of curiosity and love learning about the same types of things.... we're just a couple of lads searching for answers of this universe eh? Haha ❤️

Not really

Kanye was more fun

@@Defort-jd8xe yeah just his fanboys. Mr.beast is just not intelligent or charming. Just rich.

@@bigsleepy9889 not as deep as most interviews.

@@riccocool yeeaaaahhhh. I'm 20 mins in and only hating Mr.Beast more and more. Really unfortunate, not like I want to hate him

Sadly none of his guests are MrBeast is an industry implant. Dont fall for this piece of trash. He was born into this. He is part of the agenda. He is made to make you believe stuff like squid game was a good thing and throwing money around like „do what thou wilt“ by aleister crowley. How can people not see this. You live in a beast system what more do i need to say…

I like Lex. Except if I watch ten videos in a row, it’s gets formulaic and annoying. Everyone though. I just don’t know if watching a guy making tons of money and saying things, actually makes them as authentic as you think. Maybe Not. [not saying Lex is fake or anything, but these guys get idealized, & are generally getting rich as f_ck off making you think they’re something they’re not] mr. Beast isn’t even THAT annoying personally, but the whole thing, it seems bad for the species. I’m waiting to pick up someone so I’m bored. And my channel is better lol.

He is a Russian spy.

@@alxsee1337not as formulaic as mr beasts content

I know eh? Lex is a real sound guy. It's a shame this guess isn't...

Make that 2 data points!

Yeah I loved the thought “I just follow the thread of curiosity.”

Same, I think Mr beast is wrong on the analytics audience haha It's very valuable and insightful knowledge, although I might never make a single RU-vid video in my life haha

@@Lauros_World I think that's because he doesn't realize how much analytics has become part of every profession. It's not a knock on him or anything - why would he know since this has been his passion/career since he was young. I just don't think he realizes that almost every field has data analytics now, so the RU-vid analytics discussion is interesting, even if we never plan to become content creators.

This is so funny as I stopped the video exactly 10 seconds after your time stamp to read comments not even sure why and saw you comment! Great video, imagine having Jimmy (Mr Beast) coaching you on your RU-vid channel. This is the closest in likely to get with ask the podcasts. So valuable and this one is great as it’s from a unique angle

same! it’s also really interesting to watch as someone who wants to get into making videos

@@darkacademiavanessa i saw ur profile and u say you like chess. wanna play? i'm pretty bad (if u consider 1400 bad)

As a young Lex viewer and Mrbeast enjoyer, this is true

@My achilles heel we all understand his videos are repetitive and targeted towards younger audiences. But his knowledge is ahead of the game compared to anyone on the platform. His success proves this.

never really watched his videos too and thinking of it now haha

@My achilles heel they are dumb, he knew what he was doing tho

His brilliance is not about the topics of his videos, but about the execution.

reading this i am realy looking forward, to a new generation of parents, beeing so open. Thank you!

Especially compared to mainstream, elites studying for years how to do it, and they are so incompetent, biased and subjective...No wonder old media is dying...too corrupt, too greedy.

This made me laugh my ass off.

This has to be an ironic statement; Surely Shirley!

I'm not sure I've ever seen him run sub-optimally...

@@mrd5178 No seriously though how does this man rest?

Lol yea because he built up a empire and showed them how to do the shit he doesn’t want to?

@@myachillesheeltell us you’re broke, without telling us…

He'll be super-rich his entire life, but every pore of him screams that he doesn't care except that it allows him to create content. He's a totally unbalanced person, and we love him for it. He's not curing cancer, but he does help brighten up the lives of so many.

Compare his attitude to say... Logan Paul, who gives off... different vibes?

It's weird they talking about what's after death. I hope they find Islam the one and only true religion. 😭

Mr beast isn’t so nice from what I heard ex employees claim

Well, he is running a business… where smart decisions are frequently “not nice”. So far, I’ve not seen 1 second of video to support the fact that he’s not really nice, though it wouldn’t surprise me either.

Hope he'll invite Tate soon, would be interesting to see.

@@bramvandinteren Looks like Tate is going to be in a Romanian Prison for a long time for Sex Trafficking.

@@bramvandinteren Gotta get him out of the Romanian jail first, but would definitely watch that

@@bramvandinteren I don't know, personally that "gotta get the most controversial person" mentality is self destructive. Sure, it gets clicks, but it's the most basic "what's he going to say next" drama farm type clicks.

I've never watched Beast, but Lex is very similar to him actually. Both fundamentally care more about their content than, AFAI can tell, anything else in their lives.

why are you watching kids cooking microwaves inside of other microwaves?

@@MasterYoda389 Why not?

@@bhuuthesecond ??? you for real? Because it's stupid. Because it serves no purpose Because you're romanticizing something that is truly cringe.

@@MasterYoda389 When I want to watch informative, educational and intellectually stimulating content I know which channels can provide that for me. And when I want to unwind completely I love watching Mr. Beast and his friends. What’s wrong with enjoying something fun and very silly?

@@bhuuthesecond nothing, but you did ask why not D:

He has a unique way to getting to the bottom of things 😄

fascinating innerview

I love mr breast interviews

It is pretty awesome to learn from the master with a coordinated line of questioning from Lex.

Jimmy said he could be his own father when he gets to 34!

stfu u and faze j scam ur viewers lmao

proves how dedicated beast is to always entertain

Shows how disconnected he is

😂 I noticed that

@@yermumzagaymuggle8369 when sat infront of a camera, it's most likely natural for him at this point to bring the audience in with him. If you actually watched the podcast you would understand that.

He has learned how important pronouns are

Did he yell at Lex and throw around sponsor money?

And the best part is, at any time he could quit and live off the tail end of the video profits plus all the collective ad revenue from all the other sources and previous vids.. Therefore there's no need to keep any money right now, keep rolling it over on bigger and better videos!. its all gravy baby. Can't wait to watch him grow.

Seems odd, IMHO.

@Lucasworthmaster it's cool to see other influential people like Elon musk, andrew Schulz, and even the execs of RU-vid, telling Mr beast that he's one of the best at creating RU-vid content, and they even ask him for advice and tips on how to do it. I bet those compliments are massive boost for him to keep doing what he's doing and putting the work in. It's just cool to see someone who I would have got on with if I was at school with him, being so successful in life. I've got Crohn's disease like Mr beast, and got it when I was 13 at school. It caused me to close a few doors, and think I wasn't capable of doing certain things in life. He's shown me I was wrong to think like that. I wish him all the best

Same I’m 29 but he’s videos are highly entertaining I enjoy watching them on my lunch break I highly recommend them

Same. Pretty sure my daughter watches that page

I hate his videos, but I can appreciate the magnitude of genius behind his work.

I'm with you. I love what he does but not drawn to his content style as much as the masses. I could listen to him real talk for hours though, well said.

I feel that! Love Jimmy, but MrBeast is just not for me.
