>> Your goal here is to make the best YOUTUBE videos possible.

I see a lot of unnecessary negative sentiment towards that quote.

The quote has no hidden meaning and should be taken on face value: I could easily see an up-and-coming producer work for Mr. Beast, and get sidetracked with making sure that pixels are "perfect." Or a set designer making sure that a specific prop is placed "perfectly." That's not the point, and Mr. Beast is very upfront about it.

I actually admire that quote.

The "best YouTube" video is not whatever you think it is, but rather what it is.

You can go see what are the most watched videos. How many are softcore porn?

(Let's exclude music videos because they have always included that at times, and popularity tends to run with the audio first)


> "the best" video you can make is probably porn that's softcore enough to not trip the monetization or age restriction gates

Since Mr Beast has some of the highest repeatable viewerships on YouTube I think there's some evidence that is wrong.
