MrBeast wants \u201cbrutal\u201d copycats to stop copying him but understands why they do it YouTube: Colin and SamirJimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson has explained why he wishes some of the \u201cbrutal\u201d copycats of his videos would try their own thing, but he also understands why they don\u2019t. Over the last few years, MrBeast has taken YouTube by storm with his hugely ambitious videos. He\u2019s smashed the subscriber record for a sole creator on his main channel and has been branching out into different regions too. Given his stranglehold on the top of YouTube, it\u2019s no surprise that people are \u2018inspired\u2019 somewhat by his style. His thumbnails, video ideas, and much more have been replicated hundreds of times over. It\u2019s a clearly successful formula, which is why he doesn\u2019t hold it against people too much for following in his footsteps. Though, he does wish there was a little bit more originality on YouTube these days. MrBeast wishes YouTubers would stop \u201cstealing\u201d his content The topic of the \u2018Beastification\u2019 of YouTube came up during his most recent appearance on the Colin and Samir podcast, with Donaldson explaining that he\u2019s not a massive fan. \u201cI wish people would\u2026 there is inspiration and then there is stealing. So many people just steal what I do! So many people just put their face on my face or steal my thumbnail, say verbatim what I say at the start of videos, and like all my things,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery time I\u2019ve done these podcasts, I just come here and I say everything. I literally come here and tell you guys every little thing I know about getting views on youtube. Tens of thousands of creators have watched those and that\u2019s the reason why they\u2019re making $10k plus a month. They\u2019re like \u2018Oh, Jimmy just laid it out\u2019 and followed it.\u201d Timestamp of 38:15 He called that a \u201cpositive\u201d for those creators but it\u2019s a \u201cnegative\u201d for the whole of YouTube because they\u2019re not developing their own thing. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty brutal,\u201d Jimmy continued. \u201cI don\u2019t call people out for copying for me because not everything I do is original, you always get inspiration from somewhere, so I try not to be hypocritical. \u201cI almost wish people would self-police it more. It\u2019s ok to draw inspiration from me but just don\u2019t do what I do to a tee.\u201d The YouTube superstar added that other creators could easily make similar videos their own, but they don\u2019t. Though, who knows, now he\u2019s called it again, we might see some change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
