The information stating that MrBeast is not a brand-owned channel is false. Jimmy Donaldson runs a company dedicated solely to making content for the channel and promoting products with his face and branding on them such as Feastables, Lunchly, Beast Games (in cooperation with Amazon), and Beast Labs. The table should reflect this information by stating that he is a brand. I would do it myself, but I have no idea how to edit the template from No to Yes.

@Edelgardvonhresvelg: I think in this context, a 'brand' is supposed to be a company/business. MrBeast still owns his YouTube channel as an individual, regardless of how many employees he has. This is why Blackpink, a music group, is not a brand channel (despite probably being controlled by a manager) and neither is PewDiePie, who had a team of two editors and a producer. The other channels, like T-Series, SET India etc. are companies, not individual people. Imagine, for example, if Bill Gates had his own YouTube channel; he would own it as an individual channel, just like MrBeast does.
The article should definitely explain this to avoid any further confusion, though. ❧ LunaEatsTuna (talk), proudly editing since 2018 (and just editing since 2017) – posted at 17:41, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for clarification. I thought that he should be considered a brand due to how his channel is. It is essentially a TV series and gameshow, but on YouTube due to the ludicrous budgets and production values his videos have in addition to the branded products and spin-offs such as Feastables, MrBeast Burger, Beast Games, Beast Labs, Lunchly, etc. PewDiePie does not have multiple dubbing studios and celebrity lawyers like Donaldson. PewDiePie only had two editors and a producer, not entire companies owned by him and constant sponsorships from brands Prime, Minecraft, and Shopify.
