MrBeast is stealing from other creators and he is ruining YouTube. That is what many, including top YouTube creators, are saying right now After MrBeast announced that his platform ViewStats is launching an AI thumbnail tool that will allow creators to create a prompt and receive a data backed viral thumbnail. and while he has since deleted that tweet following the backlash, the ViewStats’ website still has articles and FAQs about the tool, and many have also reshared a previously uploaded video where MrBeast explained some of the functions. right, and so immediately, What you saw is you had tons of people pissed off arguing that this tool, it hurts thumbnail artists and editors and allows people to just blatantly copy and rip off other channels. Right, You had major creators like Jacksepticeye chiming in because his channel's logo specifically appeared in MrBeast’s video, when he mentioned taking inspiration from other channels. had you had Jack writing, “what the actual f*ck And he used my logo in the promotion for it too? I hate what this platform is turning into. F*ck AI.” and So far what we've seen is that MrBeast appears to be open to the pushback, with us seeing this one creator saying that he had a conversation with MrBeast to make these complaints clear, and then MrBeast responding by saying, “I appreciate all the feedback. I love the YouTube community more than anyone can even remotely comprehend. Already working on changes like Face Swap should only be used to swap your face on your thumbnail, obviously not others,” and adding, “overall, I'll build this more in a way to be inspiration for artists/ a tool they use and not replace them. Very good feedback.” but follow to stay in the loop.
