In 2015, MrBeast quit YouTube... “It's been a month since I uploaded and I was pretty sure I was done with YouTube.” What kept him going? “I feel like my channel has so much potential. My last uploads all broke 200 views. I've made over $500." The rest is history. Keep going.

@theJayAlto The good ole days where everyone thought I was way 2 obsessed with YouTube and called me a freak.

@MrBeast @theJayAlto They still do that - only now everyone else wants to do it too and they call you a hero 😅 (well almost everyone)

@MrBeast @theJayAlto Guys still call me a freak, along with a multitude of other slurs😤

@MrBeast @theJayAlto Only 200 views a video on 2015!? I have hope😂

@MrBeast @theJayAlto Don’t get it twisted — both of those things are still very true lmao. But the respect is well-deserved

@MrBeast @theJayAlto And now did they drop the too obsessed part? Or drop both?
