Reason MrBeast is Partnering with Prime Video
If you are a YouTube you know better that most of the YouTuber are dependent on the YouTube algorithm which changes drastically and can have a direct impact on YouTubers views and income. MrBeast wants to escape this dependency and is trying to create a another stream of income. And partnering with large media group like Amazon MGM studios gives him much leverage to be free from that dependency and increase his diversification. And for Amazon Studio it's a direct line to one of the biggest fanbases on Earth.
