Airrack said, “I think it should feel like that. I don’t like, I don’t want to compete with Jimmy on money. Like Jimmy’s so exponentially far down like the money path like no one will ever beat him at the money game. And I have no interest in playing that game.

Stating his plus point over MrBeast, he said, “I think what I have that Jimmy doesn’t have and I’ve talked to Jimmy about this is like I think I am a much better storyteller and I like, understand how to make a video that’s actually interesting. And like you feel something emotionally when you watch it you know what I mean, that’s my goal. And I think that is the next coming of YouTube. So, I take being the second coming of MrBeast as a positive thing. Because I think I can take what I learned from him and like foresee where YouTube is going now.”

Airrack also mentioned that during MrBeast’s early days, the algorithm was most crucial on YouTube and agreed that Jimmy did a great job of understanding it. He extended this thought by supporting his idea of storytelling being the future of YouTube. Moreover, he voiced himself to be “the greatest Storyteller on the platform right now.”
