**MrBeast's Least Viewed Video is... odd?! — Transcript & Summary | SozAI**
Source: https://sozai.app/transcript/mrbeast-least-viewed-video-odd/

A creator notices many of MrBeast's videos cluster at exactly 62,000 views and investigates whether this is a repeating YouTube list-sorting loop or view botting.

## Key Takeaways

- MrBeast's lowest-viewed videos cluster at a near-identical count of about 62,000 views, covering roughly 20% of his catalog.
- The pattern appears to stem from YouTube's delayed list updates and a loop created by people viewing the bottom of the list.
- The creator's analysis leans toward an organic explanation rather than view botting, though this is not proven.
- The cluster moves upward as the channel's average view count grows.

## What the video covers

- The video asks what MrBeast's least viewed video is, noting that the answer depends on how YouTube sorts and updates its lists.
- About 172 of MrBeast's 944 videos sit in the 62,000-view range, roughly 20% of the channel.
- The creator observes that the lowest-viewed video's count keeps repeating, with many videos stacked at nearly identical totals.
- Earlier, the bottom of the list was around 59,000 views, showing the cluster rises over time as view counts grow.
- The creator suggests YouTube's list updates lag by a day or two, which can make the sorted list show a repeating pattern.
- Graphs show that view spikes are typically preceded by a flattening of views, which the creator links to the cycle.
- The creator proposes that the cluster may come from older, low-quality videos receiving views only from people deliberately scrolling to the bottom of the list.
- The creator considers and tentatively rejects the idea that MrBeast bot-boosts views to keep the minimum at 62,000.
- The conclusion is that the least viewed video is effectively all of the videos in the cluster, and the phenomenon may be a sorting artifact.
- The creator invites viewers to report similar patterns on other channels.

## Questions about this video

What is the phenomenon the creator discovered?

About 172 of MrBeast's roughly 944 videos cluster at around 62,000 views, which the creator found by scrolling to the bottom of the channel's sorted list. The count repeats across many videos, suggesting a pattern rather than coincidence.

Why does the creator think this happens?

The creator suggests that YouTube's list updates lag by a day or two, and that low-quality older videos get views mainly from people deliberately scrolling to the bottom of the list. This creates a self-reinforcing loop that moves upward as the channel grows.

Does the creator believe MrBeast is view botting his channel?

The creator considers view botting as a possibility but ultimately leans toward an organic explanation based on the list-sorting loop. The video does not provide conclusive evidence of botting.

Speaker A

Do you know what MrBeast's least viewed video is?

00:11

Speaker A

interesting. Except, whatever answer you give me will likely be wrong. You see, if you scroll down now, you'll see that the least viewed video has 62,000 views.

00:22

Speaker A

Yeah, he's the most viewed creator on the platform, gets billions of views, and rivals most A-list celebrities.

00:42

Speaker A

videos on his entire channel, meaning close to 20% of Mr. Beast's videos have 62,000 views.

00:51

Speaker A

So, the question of what his least viewed video is, I'd say, is one that's pretty interesting.

01:07

Speaker A

he did that, that would be the title and thumbnail. So, what is it then? Why do so many of his videos have 62,000 views?

01:16

Speaker A

Except, whatever answer you give me will likely be wrong.

01:28

Speaker A

But, an interesting note is that when you look at the graphs, anytime there's a spike, it's almost immediately preceded by a flattening of views.

01:36

Speaker A

You see, if you scroll down now, you'll see that the least viewed video has 62,000 views.

01:51

Speaker A

You see, YouTube doesn't immediately update these lists, with it typically taking a day or two to update them and reflect the actual view count. However, this can also show us that for some reason the video that's listed as the

02:04

Speaker A

But, so does the one above that, and the one above that, and the one above that, and yeah, it keeps going.

02:15

Speaker A

viewed video is. I'm sure not everyone has, but even if 0.1% of Mr. Beast's massive audience has wondered that and gone through the effort of scrolling down to see what his least viewed video is and watched it, then that's hundreds

02:29

Speaker A

As of recording, 172 of MrBeast's videos are in the 62,000 range.

02:39

Speaker A

But as the average rises, more and more videos get caught into this loop. A few months ago when I found this phenomenon, his lowest viewed videos were at 59,000 views, and I was able to find a Reddit post from a few months before that that

02:52

Speaker A

For reference, there are 944 videos on his entire channel, meaning close to 20% of MrBeast's videos have 62,000 views.

03:06

Speaker A

until the loop eventually catches up again, putting it at the bottom and starting this cycle over.

03:12

Speaker A

The only runner-up whenever it comes to condensed view count is at 63,000 views with 11.

03:20

Speaker A

Beast has uploaded so many videos over the years, many of which being not of the highest quality, the only way many of these videos are going to get views is through people doing this. The algorithm likely hasn't pushed many of

03:33

Speaker A

So, what? Does MrBeast bot his channel or something to keep the minimum video at 62,000 views?

03:45

Speaker A

Mr. Beast's channel just happens to have the perfect mix of a large enough audience for this phenomenon to be noticeable while having just the right amount of low-quality videos to where they'll only be seen through this method, while not having so many that

04:00

Speaker A

MrBeast view bot confirmed. Oh my gosh.

04:12

Speaker A

So, I guess the answer to what is Mr. Beast's least viewed video is all of them. Every single one of them, and in a few months, probably all of these, too. And as I seem to have been the one to find this phenomenon, I guess

04:27

Speaker A

Yeah, if he did that, that would be the title and thumbnail.

04:33

Speaker A

If you find any other channel that has this, feel free to let me know, because I would be extremely interested. I hope you enjoyed the video. Be sure to subscribe for daily uploads, and I will see you tomorrow.

Speaker A

So, what is it then? Why do so many of his videos have 62,000 views?
