Come on, are you really putting all the Youtubers in the same boat as MrBeast ?

465 million followers.

Veritasium

20 million followers. Now owned by a private equity.

Technology connections

3 million followers

Jake Paul

21 million followers

I rest my case about YouTube users.

I think you just contradicted yourself.

I rest my case about generalization.

Also what does their audience has to do with the fact that you equate a Veritasium channel to a MrBeast channel ?

It's weird because you started by saying you didn't understand Youtubers and now you are comparing the audience of entirely different channel.

It's fine you had a stereotypical conception of Youtubers, you dont need to change the subject.
