YouTube star MrBeast recently gave his take on the idea of authenticity in the online creator ecosystem, going to X (formerly Twitter) to emphasize how uniqueness can be important to long-term success. Citing the example of streamer IShowSpeed, he complimented the young entertainer in terms of his promotion to the top with the help of a unique and unapologetically personal approach to content. He posted:

MrBeast observed that the issue with most creators is that they tend to get into the habit of repeating trends or other influencers because they think that imitation can ensure growth. Nevertheless, he pointed out that the true success in digital media is achieved through brand development based on personal creativity and personality.
