YouTube megastar Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson showed some love to IShowSpeed, praising his work in a sea of YouTubers who just “copy” each other.
When IShowSpeed first started out, he was like the majority of other streamers: sat at home, playing video games, and getting trolled by his viewers. However, he’s gone on to become so much more than that, raising the bar for IRL streamers with his massive streaming tours.
That success has been recognized by quite a few people. Speed has appeared on TV to talk about his streams, won awards, and gained tens of millions of subscribers with each tour.
With there being a fair bit of copycat content on YouTube, you’d expect rising stars to follow in Speed’s footsteps and go on tour. However, MrBeast has warned against that.
MrBeast praises IShowSpeed’s style of content
Donaldson, who has regularly called out copycats on YouTube, praised Speed’s content, but believes you won’t get anywhere doing the same thing that he’s doing.
“It’s cool to see Speed getting so big off of his own style of content. Lots of YouTubers think the only way to succeed is to copy others,” he posted on X (formerly Twitter).
“Next MrBeast won’t do what I do, next speed won’t do what he does. Find what content is true to you!”
As noted, MrBeast has been trying to clamp down on people who copy his content, urging them to stop being so obvious.
“So many people just steal what I do! So many people just put their face on my face or steal my thumbnail, say verbatim what I say at the start of videos, and like all my things,” he told the Colin and Samir podcast back in 2023.
