Mr. Beast doesn't want you to watch his YouTube videos anymore

Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson’s YouTube output in early 2026 has shifted toward bigger, glossier spectacles inspired by his Amazon TV show, and he frequently tells viewers to go watch that instead. Since the start of 2026 he has uploaded a handful of videos with heightened premises, screaming introductions, or small fortunes dangled in front of ordinary people, but his first upload of the year — a bewildering 41-minute clip where 30 celebrities ‘fight’ for over a million dollars — best captures the change.

The roster includes recognizable names like Josh Peck and Diplo, yet many participants seem indifferent. Tiffany Hadish says she is “glad” to be knocked early, one person eliminates themselves, Paris Hilton gives every dish a 10, and Kevin Hart ends up revealing himself when asked to call the most famous person he knows.

Ajey “CarryMinati” Nagar shrugs after being eliminated and Donaldson forbids him from leaving — “what if the Indian market stops watching?” — underscoring a disconnect between spectacle and genuine stakes.
