His early videos that got him popular were insane and novel. I watched them from curiosity. As for why he's still... I have no idea. I don't know anyone who watches him. It can't just be kids.

You underestimate kids' ability to manipulate their parents to buy things

Roblox has completed its long-awaited direct listing on the NYSE, with shares closing at $69.47 for a fully diluted value of $45.3 billion—a gargantuan valuation for a video game company that rose to prominence and saw massive growth during the pandemic

Why exactly can’t it just be kids?

I think Roblox has more adult players than Mr. Beast has adult viewers
