Mr Beast is a game show host. He’s not giving away his own money yet everything is framed as the giant act of generosity on his part. He’s giving away money much like Bob Barker gave away kitchen sets.
- maest 4y agoHonest question - how does he fund these giveaways?
- chrisseaton 4y agoYouTube has advertising, as his videos have sponsorship. His audience is like double the level of an episode of Friends at its peak, so I guess the slots are worth a lot.
- onion2k 4y agoHe made $24m in advertising and sponsorship in 2020.
- CPLX 4y agoThe same way Bob Barker did.
- epups 4y agoBut he owns his channel, no? So any money not spent in giving reverts back to him.
- tipsytoad 4y agoNo. A sponsorship would give a clear budget, if blizzard gives him 500k for video expenses the rest would go back to blizzard, not him. Blizzard would probably require him to spend all the money though, as more money = more clicks.
- highwaylights 4y agoI’m stealing this comparison. It’s mine now. I came up with it.
- Graffur 4y agoOkay.. but it's his platform right?
