Pay attention to what MrBeast is doing right now.
50 top streamers, $1M prize. He filmed the whole thing, released the video yesterday but then cut the ending...
The finale is a livestream today
Chat controls the final game. He gives $1K to a random viewer every minute, but you have to be there
He just used an edited video as a trailer for a livestream. The video was the ad, the stream is the product
He's my thesis in action:
AI is flooding content platforms. It can generate videos, thumbnails, scripts, entire channels...
But live is where trust gets built. You can't fake your way through a real-time show. There is credibility you can't manufacture in post, and AI definitely can't generate it
And when chat is choosing the game and shaping the outcome, those people aren't viewers... They're a community with a shared experience
Live is a moat.
MrBeast is pivoting to streams because it's the only format that gets MORE valuable as AI makes everything else cheaper
This is about to blow up
DM me if you want to move on live before everyone else figures it out
