		nialv7 10 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to succeed in MrBeast production (Leaked PDF) I don't like how much people tie success to the amount of money someone earns. (or how many views someone gets on YouTube, for that matter) There are many people who I consider successful that have never earned 700 mil, and there are people who made billions I don't give a fuck about.

I agree on money != success in a broader sense, but we live in a capitalistic society where wealth creation is possibly the top indicator of "success", so in that sense wealth captured and created is _the_ metric.
