with all due respect i find the type of content you (and the myriad other people who post the exact same type of mr. beast-molded content) tiresome and repulsive.

Moreover, every single video is about “I”. An “I” video only works if people care about who “I” is, otherwise it’s just self centered, unhuman content creation.

I actually don't disagree with you at all. I think that is the kind of content that Luke is most suited/wants to make. Him being a close friend of mind I just want to help him succeed. My goal for this article was to be a kind've meta look at the process of it all. I certainly would love this channel (and YouTube) to move away from this kind've wrapping paper though. Appreciate you checking out the article!
Good luck. The primary downside to the approach is that, if the primary goal of the videos is virality, and you don't strike fame after a while, the impetus to make these videos dies down.

You should all continue to your approach and learn as much as you can, but I hope you can find continued motivation to make these sorts of videos. Most people I know make art for themselves. Your desires and your tastes, as a motivator, are tireless.
