Mr beast "had some reality show on Amazon" he released a season of a reality show which broke many world records and got renewed with a larger budget for two more seasons. But the path was paved way before last year. Think of how many podcasts started as one person on YouTube and became major multiplatform productions with dozens of creatives. If "reality" isn't your thing plenty of narrative fiction has been picked up by Netflix and HBO, Cobra Kai probably the most recognizable but also maybe you've seen broad city or workaholics. In journalism we've seen Channel 5 get at least one HBO deal, etc But I think you'll find that the majority of these creators are making enough revenue on YouTube that these deals are more an optional way to grow their audience than "the next step"
