Why Marques Brownlee Thinks 'Going Viral Is Overrated' | Top Creators Show

[@altinnovation]

The reason why I like listening to MKBHD (while not being super into tech) is he's just such a well rounded and level headed individual. Like when he's talking about being rejected multiple times for the KZbin partner program, there's no frustration in his voice, it's just what it is and he just went with it. So when he talks it's always so soothing, love it!

[@jovelnom]

Every time I watch Marques interviews on different channels, I appreciate more the video quality on his channel. The difference is tremendous.

[@Xsparger]

💯

[@TheChazas]

it is like vs "shot on iPhone.

[@mapultoid]

This feels like a zero prep interview for one of the best known tech people on the internet.

[@HectorGarcia-ni9hy]

Didn't feel like a conversation fr

[@zeflores0267]

Is this guy’s camera dirty?

[@momokero7438]

Imagine YT rejecting him 2, 3 times and now... he is truly one of the OGs of YT. I totally love his humility with all the success he's achieved on YT!!

[@jaspertidigu6090]

Rejecting him?

[@Chrisratata]

A large majority of the most successful people got knocked down plenty of times on their way to success. People on the oitside oftentimes can't quite see your potential - you have to be your own champion for that and have the drive to see it through.

[@renosance8941]

@@jaspertidigu6090 If you actually watch the interview he literally says after 4:41 he applied for, and was rejected for monetization many times, getting rejected by KZbin for years.

[@jamierossiter1168]

I've been following Marques since the days he had 500,000 subscribers and he must have been about 18. He has come a long way and now has a full team behind him

[@kenkioqqo]

One of my all time favorite KZbinrs.

[@donyay6083]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@oliverpan6754]

Especially when he’s in a school zone

[@IndieWealthClub]

I love that Marques shared so much in this video. I thought that the part where he was talking about his first video and that it wasn’t about getting famous was really interesting. His intention was just about helping someone in the same spot as him. That kind of approach, putting value first instead of chasing likes and subscribers, really says a lot about why his content stands out. I also think it’s really smart how he balances making videos he and his team love with still thinking about his audience. And his focus on steady growth instead of chasing quick hits is such a good reminder to play the long game instead of worrying about going viral. I’d love to see a copy of his Notion template for creating content. Does anyone know if he posted this anywhere? Anyway, lof great advice in this video, there’s so much creators can learn from his approach. Thanks for posting this.

[@anotherhuman5845]

I think he made a masterclass for youtube a while back

[@Jayawaves]

Jeez the interviewer needs to do a better job here. Props to MKBHD tolerating the questions

[@jessiecoy7612]

This is more like a interrogation, Great answers from MKBHD.

[@SaiaFT]

This was the wrong interviewer to chat with MKBHD.

[@SaiaFT]

Bruh the further into the interview I get the further I stand by the above statement. Maybe I'm too used to Sean from Hot Ones.

[@zeqiqez]

@@SaiaFT haha true. Sean set the standard. Everyone else needs to step up. Especially given that these interviewers are in a very privileged position to do so. Do some homework!

[@benchong6399]

I agree. Compared to Trevor Noah, this guy is the pits. Comes across as disconnected and ignorant.

[@TheKarlCP]

"You're still playing Ultimate Frisbee?" Is this what modern journalism is about? No real research on the interviewee beforehand?

[@BirdieDev]

Bro is on the damn US national team 😭🤦‍♂️

[@tcprodigy]

Interviewer was pretty awful. Didn’t let the answers breathe at all.

[@bigboomer751]

just hit pause after every question... problem solved

[@tcprodigy]

Omg that solves it. You’re so smart.

Yes and stuttering

[@shesaidsomething1]

Timely, useful information. Marques offers value and respects his audience.

[@asteverson]

This interviewer seems like he never sleeps and is full of caffeine 😂

[@MlindoMkhize]

Interviewer asking questions like he doesn't believe how Marques became successful😂

[@SaiaFT]

😂

[@shichiroku]

MKBHD is almost synonymous with KZbin. There is no better host With Marques and no better channel. Just quality content, no BS. And he is absolutely right. It's about sustaining success. One viral video may launch your career. But it sets the bar so high that if you don't keep it up, you will soon be forgotten. He has been producing quality content for years now. I never miss the Waveform podcast and there is a reason why.

[@U2haveanicedayty2]

Great Questions and Awesome Interview.Nice to see when you watch a KZbin channel Grow.Thanks for sharing.💯✌️

[@RustyBrownPhotography]

Awesome interview. MKBHD is really an amazing individual and it's great to see him tell his story. Well done!

[@emmanuelben1393]

Great interview, he is just natural

[@Unamatrix01]

Fantastic interview with MKBHD.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesengland7461]

Excellent interview! Very well geared to this not familiar, but also new insight for all.

[@iskde]

I can appreciate the preparation for the interview; but the execution made it feel more like a job interview. Either way, I’m grateful that I stumbled upon this video 🙏🏾 Happy Holidays People…

[@daveforz]

One of the few KZbinrs who can make videos forever. Literally.

[@TheBrenton24]

this is actually a great interview... not sure what the other comments are about. great job both of you two

[@urbanstrencan]

He has such an amazing impact on young creators/content makers, MKBHD made it with doing great job, with reviews and assembling great team behind him taht shares same passion for technology, cars, future,... MKBHD keep it up you are the best 😊❤

[@stevedoestech]

I just genuinely like MKBHD

[@MrVeeBlog]

An amazing video. An amazing story. Props to Forbes for delivering the best of Marquez Brownlee to video. Not many reviewers can do it as well as Forbes. What would be a plus to know is what did "MKBHD" come from and why that name. Anyway, thanks for the drop.

The things Marques said are true that is why main media platforms are against his reviews.

Love the way he handle himself !

[@bobninda]

Fantastic interview. Very informative!

[@CarlosEnriqueAmaro]

I see Marques Brownlee as the Mr. Beast content creator on KZbin within in the Tech industry out of all tech reviewers out there.

“Gotcha” . Count the times the interviewer says this word. 😅 or make it a fun Drinking Game. 🍺

Going viral “was the best thing that never happened.” Wisdom!

I always watch MKHBD every time a new video comes out. He is an inspiration for everyone doing KZbin like me (even if I'm in an other niche).

Love this interview!

[@ademolaadelekan8400]

Forbes: 'Was 2024 the worst PR year for you?' MKBHD: 'Err...'

[@trustmub1]

Forbes as a traditional media house is in a way better stage to adopt to what MBHD suggested compared to the the others media houses

[@eliasbarsenga]

It's pretty surprising that the interviewer doesn't know much about Mkbhd's channel and work.

[@TabareAllison]

Thanks for the forecast! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@kezarine]

MKBHD the GOAT 🐐

[@lh7564]

He was pulled over by a cop for over speeding while he was going back to his residence from the Forbes office.

[@iFlo_capture]

Rad interview.

[@kristinchong629]

🎉🎉🎉

[@happyhabitpodcast]

To the interviewer, stop saying Gotcha and ask one question at a time.

[@213fritzy]

So true, he's just there just to extract anything from MKBHD. 😂

[@ENTAMMO-g6w]

Forbes is too big to have so much dust on the sensor

when did this started to take off? Guy asks the same question three times and says got it the first two times.

No speed limit on this video

[@bigboomer751]

i dont get it.

[@கோபிசுதாகர்]

He is speeding through the interview as well​@@bigboomer751

[@Teslien]

This interviewer obviously didn't watch the BTS studio video about the creation process lol. Half the questions are from that video. No wonder these corpo pages get less than meme pages. Paying all that money for nothing

[@f1m1han]

i've heard marques say the first 10 seconds multiple times.

[@123Spiceguy]

I cant even watch.. doesnt let him even answer the questions lol

[@tituswillb]

going viral is overrated. facts

[@amirhojaiji]

His popularity came fast, like 96 mph fast

[@desiloe_ministries_int]

Why this video don’t have views

[@ramsyrama]

Because people don't like MKBHD

[@desiloe_ministries_int]

@ he has millions of subscribers

[@கோபிசுதாகர்]

They don't like him anymore because he is too fast for our taste

[@phanuellaurent]

One of the best MKHD.... Team #oneplus

[@sumitshukla6489]

Why does this not have comments

[@tshidikhunou]

It’s a bit disappointing that he didn’t seem to know anything about what MKBHD reviews, asking him if he reviewed the casket or didn’t know about the Rivian. This guy watched only 10 seconds of a Video and didn’t do any research at all. This got boring.

[@iammandy]

Seeing Marques in this kind of video quality feels weird!!

[@Rianwrong]

Because he is already super rich and doesn’t need to go viral

[@CamJames]

There's something weird going on with KZbin suppression. This is Forbes, and that's MKBHD. 13k views in two days is insanely low. It's embarrassing for me, much less for a channel this huge. KZbin is actively destroying many of our full-time jobs, and this is only one example of how it happens to huge KZbinrs too. Or, you know...y'all just don't like this man. That can't be it though.

[@numberM4]

It's probably just this Forbes channel. The channel might have a lot of subscribers but each video is only getting 1-5K views. The algorithm isn't going to be recommending it to many other people.

[@savagemotiv]

King

[@ACuteAura]

i understand why he'd think going viral at 90 mph would be overrated.

[@chriszod]

are you sick?

[@nickr3526]

Serious lack of comments about his speeding issues.

Marques: goes viral for speeding more than 90 mph in a school zone Marques later: I think going viral is overrated

[@Cjblamen]

Was the interviewer nervous or something ? Forbes please get more qualified people for the job. A total disservice to MBKHD for letting this guy interview him.

[@manjunathmadabal]

forbes , your video production quality sucks .

[@MX304]

Maybe because the thing he went viral for most recently was filming himself doing over 90mph in a School Zone?
