    to understand the appeal of YouTubers.

    Come on, are you really putting all the Youtubers in the same boat as MrBeast ?

    Take a look at channels like :

    • Veritasium
    • Technology connections

    They only share a platform with MrBeast but it’s not fair to compare them to that prominent idiot.

    It’s akin to saying all books are bad because you didn’t like your last book…

        I think you just contradicted yourself.

        I rest my case about generalization.

        Also what does their audience has to do with the fact that you equate a Veritasium channel to a MrBeast channel ?

        It’s weird because you started by saying you didn’t understand Youtubers and now you are comparing the audience of entirely different channel.

        It’s fine you had a stereotypical conception of Youtubers, you dont need to change the subject.
