One of the things I found extraordinary about MrBeast videos was how it seems like viewers come for the extreme content on the thumbnail, and then stay to see the details of how exactly people succeed at doing extraordinary things.
On an economic basis, it looks like it scales really well to find ways to do really big things (unambiguously net positive) that you can also bundle into an entertainment product that also inspires other people. I don’t know what the median viewer would think of this, but I found it really vivid to see the videos “ramp up” with more and more people getting helped per minute of the video.
Have you thought of other ways you could set up something where the complexity of the situation or the number people helped gets “ramped up” over the course of the video, or where the subjects of the story find increasingly extraordinary ways to overcome increasingly extraordinary challenges? Showing people shine brightly, being their best self and then winning for it, seems to be a common theme for the channel.
