MrBeast's success roadmap is actually quite crazy: he started his channel playing games in 2012 → spent 5 years locked in a room specifically studying the YouTube Algorithm → got kicked out by his mom → in 2017, he spent 40 hours counting to 100,000, and the video got liquidated with 127 million views ( → now he releases 1-2 videos a month that have tens of millions of views.

The key phrase is "single-minded"—some said that when he was in school, his classmates thought he had autism because he didn't care about anything and just focused on researching on YouTube. Later, he dropped out directly to concentrate on creating content, and as a result, his mother kicked him out. But now? He can casually shoot a video every month and earn several million dollars.

His approach is: a boringly simple idea (counting, stacking cups) + a gradually escalating scale (eventually reaching an isolated island, multi-million level special effects) + each video polished to perfection. This guy has rewritten the rules of YouTube content - proving that in an age of information explosion, sometimes "meaningless" is actually the most attractive.
