I think the idea of Origins was to give their most popular creators some extra resources to undertake a bigger project than usual. For example, MKBHD's Retro Tech is very much in line with his tech videos, or Vsauce's Mind Field is basically a high production version of his normal videos. That being said, these creators already get a ton of views to start with, and as cool as the highly produced content was, I don't think it realistically brought more views than the normal videos.
