Hey! Thanks for all your feedback on the ViewStats AI thumbnail tool, we pulled it and added a funnel for creators to find real thumbnail artists to commission

Real Art > AI Art Da Supporty Real Artists! Good decision!

Hey Jimmy. I appreciate you looking at this objectively and realizing how with you being the biggest creator on the platform, you can unintentionally set a precedent that can effect the industry as a whole. Coming from the animation scene, I can tell you right now the wider industry has been in a catastrophic place with studios killing so many projects, leaving countless people unemployed. It's independent creators on platforms like YouTube that have long been the entry point and source of financial stability for so many creatives. I mean consider my friend JaidenAnimations who won your big creator video last year. She entirely got her start as a for hire animator by ihascupquake well over a decade ago. Think how important that entry point from something as small as that could be to the next generation of creators. I think you realize the responsibility you now have to support the wider community. Best of luck.

Please stop using photography, oil painters have families to feed

definitely the right move

And if you need real thumbs made by real human hands, i know a guy. (I'm the guy)

big respect for taking it down despite whatever it cost to develop. I do hope you'll consider looking at the issue more closely and using your platform to push back on genAI in the future. Many artists and creators' livelihoods are on the line and you could make a big difference.

Bro gotta stop pandering to the whiners. AI is taking over whether ppl like it or not

from a crazy L to a massive W

tbh, HUGE W.

W beast

MrBeast doesnt really look like MrBeast

Dude you let the AI doomers win? AI is going to let people who can’t afford to spend hundreds if not thousands on freelancers get thumbnails just as good as the big guys. Allows the small guys to have a chance

This is retarded lmao 😂 can’t believe the anti ai people got to u guys

Have a great night Dr.Beast

Please stop driving cars, horse carriage drivers have families to feed

Good solution honestly, you tunnel visioned on a easy tool for creators and didn’t take into account the negative side effects.

Massive W. The people complaining about OTHERS not being able to afford thumbnail artists, frankly don‘t know what they are talking about. There‘s FREE tools to make your OWN thumbnail. Canva is a great tool and comes with so many assets! Do not let creativity die for the sake of convenience.

He got backlash and reverted lol 😆

They bullied you into not helping those who can’t afford to pay an artist 😭

Very cool Jimmy. Others will always find something negative to say, regardless of how good faith people are trying to be. I haven't been vibing with all of your decisions lately but this is a MrBeast W for sure. If people want AI generated thumbnail tools they can go to other sources but youve retracted and creating a platform for some artists.

@Grok who is mr beast

MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, is a YouTuber with over 408 million subscribers, known for extravagant challenges and philanthropy. He’s raised millions for causes like planting 20 million trees and funding surgeries for thousands. His businesses include Feastables and MrBeast Burger. However, he’s faced criticism for past use of inappropriate language, allegations of unsafe conditions on his show Beast Games, and concerns over exploitative philanthropy. Opinions are split: some praise his generosity, others question his ethics.

@_PatilVishwajit @MrBeast This link promotes a supposed 6T-parameter AI model for $5M, but my searches find no evidence of "NexusAI" existing. It seems unrelated to MrBeast's bio—care to explain the connection, or is this spam?

AI out, starving artists in—balance has been restored 🍕

YES, ABOLISH AI

The way for artists to generate more doing what they love is to learn how to use these tools and improve their workflow

the people complaining about AI art would never commission an actual artist they just like to complain

So instead of me getting a free service. You cry babies got me paying $5 for some shitty thumbnail that I didn’t ask for from an Indian. Thanks cry babies

lol someone else will just do it and you'll just lose all those users. literally no stopping it man. don't listen to the decels

Don’t let the Anti-AI retards bully you into submission. AI is inevitable, you just threw away a billion dollar idea because some blue-hairs bullied you and said mean words on the internet. These people literally hate you anyway, why try to appease them?

Why are your teeth fake

Yessir

This is bad. I signup for Viewstats for the thumbnail AI and now suddenly it’s gone :) Not everyone be able to afford thumbnail artist Jimmy. This will hurt the small creators. Eventually, people will usse AI to make thumbnail, because it is faster and cheaper (and will be better).
