I am in the zone and I like to go hard. I am very obsessive."
He further added, "A lot of people will work five days a week. They won’t work on weekends, and ambitious people try to like restrain themselves and be like nope this schedule, can’t work Saturday, can’t work Sunday. That just never works for me.

'My videos don't make money'
According to the 25-year-old content creator, "I appreciate every single one of you that watches the videos. This is literally all I’ve ever done with my life...

MrBeast is continually seeking to develop something new that will please his audience. The proceeds of the YouTuber are also donated to charity. MrBeast teamed up with fellow YouTuber Mark Rober to raise $30 million for TeamSeas, an ocean cleanup initiative aimed at removing 30 million pounds of debris from the seas.
MrBeast said during ‘The Colin and Samir Show’, “My videos don't make money. Even when I do a brand deal on a video, I still lose money. I lose like over a million dollars a video.” MrBeast, a rising star, is struggling with advertising costs and the difficulty of negotiating reasonable arrangements for his films. He spends up to $4 million on a single picture.
Despite his popularity, Mr. Beast has been chastised for failing to invest in content, create employment, and create original films for fans. He compensates for lost money by gaming, reacting, or other ways. However, he has had financial success with his Feastables chocolate bar line, which grossed $10 million in its first two months.
