MrBeast Influences Facebook Changes After Zuckerberg Interview

MrBeast, the YouTube king with a whopping 378 million subscribers, just crashed an interview. Not just any interview. He jumped into a conversation with Mark Zuckerberg himself. Why? To tell Zuck exactly what he’d change about Facebook if he were in charge.

And guess what? Zuckerberg actually listened. Big time.

The Podcast Crash That Could Change Everything

It all went down on the “Colin and Samir” podcast. Zuckerberg, just turned 40, was chatting with the hosts about Facebook’s new focus on content from friends. Then, BAM! MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, pops in.

The question: What would you change about Meta if you were CEO?

MrBeast’s Simple Fix: Dubbing

Donaldson didn’t ask for the moon. He wanted something simple: the ability to add different language audio tracks to Facebook videos. Like he does on YouTube.

Think about it. On YouTube, if you watch a MrBeast video from Mexico, it’s automatically dubbed in Spanish. Same video, different language, depending on where you are.

Facebook and Instagram don’t have that. Yet.

Zuckerberg’s Promise: Change is Coming

Zuckerberg’s reaction? He called it “a good one. ” And then he promised to make it happen. “Within a year,” he said, Facebook would have dubbing.

He even mentioned AI could help with auto-dubbing videos in every language. Imagine the possibilities!

Why This Matters

MrBeast isn’t just being picky. He knows his audience. He estimates 70% of his viewers don’t speak English.

He gets millions of views on YouTube from people watching his videos in Spanish and Portuguese.

But on Facebook? Without dubbing, his viewership is “infinitely lower. ”

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Facebook has over 3 billion monthly active users. That’s massive. It’s the biggest platform out there.

Instagram and TikTok are next, with two billion each.

MrBeast’s most-watched video on Instagram has over 250 million views. And he doesn’t say a word in it. He’s just running with cash.

Why? Because without dubbing, visuals have to do all the talking.

The Future of Facebook?

MrBeast sees Facebook Video as a huge opportunity. But it needs to reach a global audience.

With dubbing, it just might.

Will Zuckerberg deliver? Will Facebook change in the next year? We’ll be watching.
