The MrBeast-ification of Minecraft Youtube

btw all the people in the intro are different.
I caught quite a bit of smoke in my ish video from the creators that I used as an example to highlight the staleness of Minecraft civilization. But in this video, I want all the smoke, as Minecraft KZbin as a whole keeps getting worse by the minute, but why? In a game where the only limit is your imagination, why do so many creators make the same exact video? Well, when we look at the MrBeast-ification of KZbin and The Hero's Journey, the answer to that question becomes very clear.
00:00 - Intro
00:21 - ALL Minecraft Content is like isekai
00:51 - Comparing Old vs. New Minecraft KZbin
02:04 - The deeper issue within KZbin
02:32 - A small KZbinr named MrBeast
03:41 - The concept behind MrBeast's success
04:32 - The MrBeast-ification of KZbin
05:30 - The Hero's Journey and the MrBeast-ification of KZbin
06:24 - Both are controversial, but for different reasons
07:17 - How the MrBeast-ification affected Minecraft
08:11 - People are afraid to do anything else
08:37 - Creators should step out of their comfort zone, right?
09:21 - MrBeast-ification is actually good?
10:11 - Minecraft KZbinrs that aren't MrBeast
11:21 - Final message to all content creators

[@vismaykedilaya1318]

i think the Hermitcraft KZbinrs did a really good job with this. they're thumbnails are somewhat Mr.Beastified, but they're not too extreme. they also take their time to get into their videos, and they make jokes which people of most demographics could understand (the aha joke from Last Life and the -ad bois joke from Limited Life are good example), so if youtube was still alive decades from now, people would still find them funny. Also, they're just making content because they want to, not because of fame. HC feels like a fun vlog of 20-something people just having fun together.

[@tagreatpapyrus]

id argue that that isnt true for many hermits eg Etho

[@BlueToad07]

Hermits are the calm in the storm of Minecraft content. Especially Etho.

[@NickAndriadze]

I absolutely Agree, Hermitcraft and the Life Series are basically the only saving grace of modern Minecraft Content to me. Hermitcraft has stayed mostly true to its roots of ''Bunch of friends messing about in a Minecraft server, being collaborative and having fun.'' Sure, the concept has advanced and adapted over time, but it has NEVER become the victim of the abysmal Mr.Beast assimilation that most of Minecraft content has. There's a very good reason why they're thriving upon the competitive, capitalistic dumpsterfire nature that Minecraft content creation has become.

when technoblade died minecraft changed

[@KidNamedBlue_]

He seemed like one of the only people who didn't turn into a mrbeast copy if you know what I mean. I miss him and his content man.

[@IDK-qq7ct]

It was always been like this even before Technoblade death. I can’t pinpoint when it first started, but I do know it was before his death. Regardless of the outcomes Minecraft content would have still changed. Techno was just one of the fewer KZbinr’s that didn’t change their editing style

[@Underscore_A]

I feel like there are a lot of smaller content creators, who have ideas that are completely different to the norm that people will love. I just think (myself included) need time to hone out craft to make something great, but I definitely believe that once that idea or craft has been perfected it will blow up its just a matter of time.

[@TyphoonMC]

Its a MUCH harder problem to solve than you might think It is _not_ MrBeast’s fault, it is the fault of the many creators willing to trade their artistic character and personality for a proven method of growth. It is also the fault of the algorithm for being designed without a perfect measurement for audience satisfaction. Watch time is not the best representation of satisfaction, but unfortunately, it is the best the KZbin team could find as of now. BUT the algorithm isn’t the god of views as many people believe. It only promotes good videos, and they measure that by watch time, ctr, etc. SO, it is also our fault for watching these videos even though we _know_ its bad. (Sorry if grammar is messed up or smthn im tired)

[@SvengelskaBlondie]

I disagree, if anyone is at fault it's the viewers for rewarding this kind of content.

This was a super well edited and put together video, especially for a channel of your size. And it's true, I've found a lot of new minecraft content really boring and repetitive lately, it's the same premise over and over again. I think there is probably going to be a resurgence in popularity of some of the older hermitcraft and etc. youtubers because of the multiple new life series's run by grian. It still is pretty similar to other videos in the sense that it involves players competing in a challenge, but it does so using interesting twists, storylines, pranks, and etc. and it doesn't feel gimmicky at all. To be honest, I think all the Mr Beast style minecraft content is slowly dying out anyway because people are getting bored of it, the same thing is gonna happen to those videos that happened years ago from 2016-2019 when everybody kind of forgot the game even existed for several years because it all got too repetitive

[@IGoByLotsOfNames]

Good video. I'm probably not the only one who is getting annoyed at other KZbinrs who try to appease the so-called """algorithm gods.""" We do not make videos for algorithms. We make them for people. Also, an ironic thing about people telling me to use clickbait titles is that these days, using a clickbait title only makes the video blend in with the rest of the videos lmao.

I still feel weird when a famous KZbinr actually makes good content, even tho I only watch KZbinrs with content (and I don’t have TikTok). Thanks for sticking to the good old yt style Now where is divine journey episode 2? I need it

[@tendo649]

Just a quick note, Hero's Journey is rarely considered a ruleset, it's primarily vague guidelines that is often just used in pieces rather than using it as a story's clear foundation (A New Hope is of course a notable exception that sticks to it very closely)

[@NamsaRay]

The thing is that every popular right now minecraft theme was invented by someone which no one knew. The power of noname is the fact he can make mistakes. Mrbeast was noname before. But now he and many other people which got success are now stuck in a loop of content and the only way to get out of this loop is to not following it. But the problem is the loop has all the riches and success. But once you leave the loop you can't get it back. Unless you get into another loop.

[@KriegerVR]

This is an excellent video. This is a prevalent issue I don't think has been spoken out about enough lately. I think not only has this lead to the death in KZbins diversity, but also to the start of the death of Minecraft again. I hope this issue can be resolved one day too.

[@KidNamedBlue_]

This kinda thing is why I, as a Minecraft youtuber mainly, have told myself when I started that I would never do that. If I start caring too much about the views I notice it about myself and I tell myself to not worry. Because that wasn't my goal and still isn't. I'm just having fun. I know that "just having fun" isn't enough to get very far with it, but I don't need to. It'd be a nice bonus if I ever make an extra buck from playing games but it's not my goal. And it feels like a lot of these Minecraft youtubers do have that goal in mind. It's like they're just there to get views and make money and in turn lose all their originality and unique personality. And a lot of the times you can just see the greed in the video almost. You can just feel it by the way they talk that they don't care for their content, only for the views. I stopped watching a lot of Minecraft content because of it. There's just not a lot of honest content left it feels like. It's always gotta be bigger and better.

[@josephnegm]

i like how your video essays are dense. I get the feeling i watched an hour or half hour long video but it only takes 10 minutes. Its like taking a shot of compressed knowledge.

[@sarellani]

This video was honestly amazing and I'm definitely a fan of the way it was made and worded. As someone with ADHD, this video kept me very well engaged and overall it was super interesting. Your voice is also very soothing to listen to, can't wait to watch more of your videos and can't wait to see you grow to even greater lengths. I believe you're an underrated creator who definitely deserves more love and attention.

[@russman3787]

I went into this worried it was going to be a "hurr durr popular thing bad" video, but I was very pleasantly surprised. After seeing the ish video and now this, I wouldn't be surprised if this channel gets big. Great stuff man.

[@Flamey898]

The old Minecraft videos was like drinking a nice cup of tea and the new Minecraft videos is like drinking prime which tastes like glorified cough syrup. I mean the new videos are not bad but they miss the mark somewhat. I miss when we were allowed to enjoy content that wasn't overly edited and trying to be the same as other videos.

[@smaragdchaos]

I personally hate the Mr Beast effect, as it raised the standards and expectations of a "good video" too high. Previously you could become famous by doing random things like doing let's plays, now you are expected to do over the top or almost divine stunts, otherwise you'll be left in the dust by the youtube giants, who have the resources necessary to keep pulling stunts like that regularly

[@Tubby_2]

2:02 I feel like the content creators do the same ideas, and copy each other might be 1: possibly a lack of creativity and they see what is successful and they just copy it and 2: its what they enjoy, they've had the idea for a while and just want to make it yk, tbh i have no clue what im writing, its late at night, thats just why I think people copy and do things other people do

[@UnhingedGuy21]

Your videos are hands down the best i have ever come across ❤

[@donutstudios6353]

I feel like today, the only way to succeed on KZbin is having a lot of money or a ton of people. Like nowadays, people's expectations are higher and won't click unless the video has like $10,000 being given away, or some massive 100 player challenge. And for a small channel starting out, it would be very difficult to get $10,000 to give away for a video, or try to get your hands on 100 people willing to do something for a video.

It feels like no one makes content just to make content anymore. Everything is so over-saturated and Mr-Beastified. I have been doing YT for YEARS and only recently have started doing okay and it's because I've started subtitling my videos and making them fast-paced. Kind of a shame
