MrBeast shares mindboggling YouTube stat, fans react
MrBeast's most recent post on X highlighted why YouTube has solidified its position as one of the premier social media and video sharing platforms. The statistic was initially shared by the official YouTube blog page.
Neal Mohan, the new CEO of YouTube, took to the blog to emphasize how the YouTube Partner Program has outpaced other monetized platforms by paying creators more over three years:
"Today more than 3 million channels are in the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), which gives creators ways to earn money on YouTube. YPP has paid out more than any other creator monetization platform, and we paid over $70 billion to creators, artists, and media companies over the last three years."
Given his prominence and success, MrBeast is likely a member of the YouTube Partner Program, and his videos have undoubtedly generated significant revenue. Here are some of the reactions to his post:
