MrBeast Deletes AI Tool After Creators Get Angry. MrBeast, the world’s most-followed YouTuber, created a new AI tool to help smaller YouTubers make thumbnails for their videos. He believed it would help people design better images and grow their channels. The tool was launched through his own platform, Viewstats.
But things did not go as planned. Soon after the tool was released, many big YouTubers began speaking out against it. PointCrow and Jacksepticeye were among the first to say the tool was copying other creators’ work without permission. They felt it was wrong and harmful to the YouTube community.
The AI Tool Causes Big Problems
The tool allowed people to insert their faces into thumbnails that looked like ones already made by others. It was advertised as a quick way to make great thumbnails and cost $80 a month. But many creators believed the AI had been trained using their images without asking them first.
There are already court cases in progress against some companies that use AI this way. These tools take data from real artists and creators to train the system. That’s why many people feel like it steals hard work instead of helping.
PointCrow said the idea of helping new creators was fine, but not at the cost of hurting others. He said the AI tool used their designs and made it easy for people to copy them. For many, this felt unfair and disrespectful.
MrBeast Deletes AI Tool
MrBeast listened to the feedback and quickly removed the AI tool. He shared a message saying he was sad to see the community upset. He added that he cares deeply about YouTube and never wanted to cause harm. Instead of the AI tool, he will now support real artists by linking to them on his platform.
He said if creators don’t like the tools he builds, that’s okay. He’ll focus on creating things people truly need. He also reminded fans that he takes his role seriously, as the biggest YouTuber in the world.
Not MrBeast’s First Controversy
In recent months, MrBeast has faced other issues too. Some people in his Amazon show “Beast Games” said they were treated badly during filming. He also got in trouble in Mexico for filming near the Mayan pyramids. And at a Las Vegas event with his name, some fans had a bad experience.
Even with these problems, MrBeast remains the top creator on YouTube with more than 385 million followers. He earns more than anyone else on the platform and continues to grow. He says he wants to keep helping people — the right way.
