MrBeast Advises Zuckerberg on Facebook Changes, AI Dubbing Expected

YouTube star MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, recently shared his insights with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg during a podcast, highlighting the limitations of Facebook Video, particularly its lack of multilingual dubbing options. MrBeast pointed out that 70% of his audience does not speak English, leading to decreased viewership on the platform when he uses spoken words in his videos. Zuckerberg acknowledged the issue and expressed interest in developing AI-powered dubbing tools, suggesting that such features could be implemented within a year. Despite these challenges, MrBeast has seen significant success on Facebook, gaining more followers than any other user in 2024 and praising the platform's lucrative short-form video monetization. Their conversation also touched on their initial meeting, where Zuckerberg invited MrBeast for MMA training, revealing a more personable side of the tech mogul. Zuckerberg humorously suggested that MrBeast could enhance his brand by incorporating MMA content into his offerings.
