It's a completely different value proposition for Jimmy - a space and opportunity for him to share helpful things in a format that he otherwise wouldn't do himself. Just like Colin & Samir - they interviewed him well before they had 1m. Sticks on the otherhand, their whole thing is 'we are on a mission to collab with MrBeast'. If he did it at 400k, it would make everyone think that he will collab with them if they wiggle their way in - but the fact that it's gonna take a lot more hard work than they thought will throw off people that would only try do the same thing for clout, not because they are actually passionate or care about it. That's just my thoughts anyways, curious to hear others perspectives on the matter too
MrBeast is truly a genius. He knows that being a KZreadr is like running a business. So if you want constant growth, views and subs, you need to give people what they want. And he does it amazingly well. Same like businessman offers products people need. Tough part could be starting your channel (For me the most helpful thing was that I found out I could use a bit of Famester to get myself enough subs just to get noticed enough. After that it becomes a lot easier).

The fact that Jon got to push Jimmy to answer all this questions is gold for new youtubers like myself! Thanks a lot man. Very cool that you did this and hope to see more of your cool projects 🎉🎉
I really admire how dedicated Jimmy is to his KZread videos. It’s so impressive to see how much he knows about the platform itself and how the algorithm works and making sure he’s always ahead of the curve. Not many KZreadrs actually do this much research when making a video. He definitely deserves to be where he is
Thanks for the video! Always trying to upgrade our videos!

"I don't think KZread's going anywhere. I'd still be making videos like 10, 20, 303 years from now" people'd see this as the wittiest statement to make, but we're talking about jimmy beast. this man's the goat
the thing is I saw the title and thumbnail for this video being recommended to me over and over again over the past 24 hours, and man I didn't want to see another MrBeast video, but I finally gave in and watched the video. It wasn't for most people but for up-and-coming creators this is a goldmine of information to use. i'd change the title from: 'I asked MrBeast to roast his own videos' to something along the lines MrBeast Interview advice or smth like that, if you get what I mean.
Love the questions and insight into breaking down the videos 🔥
