## What Jamie wrote

Entertainment has changed so much. The words and definitions don't even make much sense anymore. 

> What is MrBeast and his hundred million subscribers in this - is he a star, a show, a showrunner or a network? ‘Yes’. He’s certainly a company, with a ten-person thumbnail team. And a few back-of-an-envelope calculations suggest that his output gets at least as much viewing as a top-tier Netflix show.
