This is the story of MrBeast. And how he went from zero views in North Carolina… To 100M+ subs and $100M brand deals—all by mastering one skill: Understanding why people watch. Bookmark this if you’re a creator trying to grow in 2025. Let’s go back. 👇 Phase 1: The Broke Kid with a Webcam Jimmy wasn’t some tech prodigy or insider. He was a teenager filming videos in his room on a $100 mic. He tried everything: Let’s Plays Minecraft clips Random experiments And none of it worked. But instead of quitting—he asked: Why aren’t people watching? That one question changed everything. Phase 2: The Obsession Era MrBeast started tracking everything. He made spreadsheets. He studied click-through rates. He watched his own drop-off graphs like a hawk. He’d rewatch every second of his own videos and ask: “Would I still be watching here?” If the answer was no, he’d cut it. He did this for years. Most of the early growth came not from better gear… But from getting ruthlessly good at: Hooks Thumbnails Viewer retention Testing one idea ten different ways He didn’t just post. He optimized. Phase 3: The Blueprint Any Creator Can Steal If you’re not growing on social, it’s not because you’re not good. It’s because you’re not watching your audience closely enough. Here’s how to fix that: ✅ Write the hook before the content. Start with a scroll-stopping line. MrBeast would brainstorm 50 thumbnails and titles before filming a video. ✅ Cut the fluff. Every second should earn its place. People don’t have short attention spans—they have short tolerance for boring content. ✅ Track performance weekly. CTR, watch time, drop-off. If you’re not looking at numbers, you’re just guessing. ✅ Double down on the winners. Every creator has one video or post format that just works. Repeat it. Refine it. Dominate with it. MrBeast didn’t win because of luck. He won because of relentless iteration. And you can do the exact same thing—no budget required. 📌 Bookmark this. You’re one obsession away from breaking through.

@iceyyy_gaming Yall broke iceyyy. Wtf man

Let's just push memecoins instead smh

@gabrielleydon @calilyliu Exactly this.

@calilyliu Why is Solana chasing away developers?

Also, gaming on a blockchain is not coming back

@calilyliu L take for someone in a top position in Solana’s gaming arm. Why would anyone build a game on Solana after seeing this 😂

@eeelistar Do this and have same/similar results.

@eeelistar A lot of assumptions here. 1. Is the ai performing at or above previous humans at those salary levels. 2. Down time risk when bots fail or go off mission. (Lots of examples of this) 3. Heavily dependent on the roles of your specific setup. Not all businesses will be able to

I have a team of 10 AI agents working for me This would cost $462,000-810,000 per year in human salaries Instead it costs ~$2,400 per year (Claude Max sub + minimal API costs) That's a 99.5% cost reduction

@camolNFT Nope

Most undervalued Pokémon cards to collect right now: - Deoxys - Kygore - Dragonite - Ditto - Pikachu - Pot of Greed - Blue Eyes White Dragon - Sealed Vintage Pokédex's - Hanafuda collection - Lugia - Flareon

@JuiceProphet Both are shit for pull rates.

Enough time has passed: What's the better set? I wanna hear your reasoning.

@StonkHands It’s a trust/reputation issue. They need to be around longer and a long term front runner needs to emerge. Courtyard is the most likely. However these being onchain changes their tax classification so I doubt there is a real margin to work with on these come tax time it will show

So far all the crypto RWA Pokemon / TCG Gachas are still missing liquidity for marketplaces. For the most part you feel forced to sell the card back or redeem it if you want to keep or sell on eBay or other markets. Unless you list way under market value its kinda rare to get any sales even with low to no marketplace fees. What could be done to change that? Buying Incentives? Earn points buying cards to eventually get free pulls?

@iceyyy_gaming I believe this is what you call a meme ser.

Crypto gaming being inevitable is a valuable unknown truth Few

@coopernicus01 Wait. We were supposed to get jobs?

first day of work tomorrow

@JesusMartinez @MINHxDYNASTY Profits good. Cards are better.

@AskKade @MINHxDYNASTY oof? I felt great selling cards for thousands of dollars of profit lmao

this might be a noob question, but how are there so many pokemon cards priced so high? it seems like there is ever a steal listed, it’s snatched up immediately, no matter what it is where is all this liquidity coming from?

@camolNFT Hype was artificial. Only people buying were the exit liquidity for early influencers and resellers.

Labubu’s have crashed from $200+ to $14 What went wrong???

@TeamPokeColors Prolly 0

What are the chances I pull something better than a holo from this pack?

@MINHxDYNASTY 30 years of a growing user base. That would be 3 generations give or take. All adding liquidity in different forms/avenues.

@JesusMartinez @MINHxDYNASTY Oof

@MINHxDYNASTY idk but I floored my cards last month

@inhuman Ughhh. The bait.

Huge fan of Monkey from the Netflix hit show One Piece, he's such a silly character

@ashrobin I’ll throw my hat in the ring. 7 years in social media and production.

I'm looking for clippers and someone with experience in content distribution over the next few months I'm going to be starting a more official podcast / stream I'll be putting up thousands of dollars for clipping campaigns and I'll be focusing more on IG/TT paying well, drop a comment or DM if you're interested or if there is anything else you think you can provide to help with content production and distro, feel free to reach out this will be a long term situation once we get it started

@shozen Outside the squad I don’t even see it anymore. Curated it out of my TL.

I sometimes get CT content thrown into my timeline and I remember why I hated it. GAME WILL ALWAYS BE GAME. No one will disclose their promotions. No one will care to dump their bags on you. Literally no one cares. That’s why this space will forever be toxic.

@0xPatchara Fire red > pokepia

me rn watching everyone play Pokopia

@Rakermoon Lugia almost took on all 3 birds on his own in the anime if that helps.

You have one pokemon choice. -Zapdos -Lugia -Moltres -Articuno Who you picking?
