MrBeast explains why he keeps changing his channel name between MrBeast, Beast, and MrBeast6000. Each switch tanks his search visibility, so he's reverting to MrBeast6000 permanently because consistency matters more than whether the name looks professional.
When it comes to my channel name on YouTube, I've always been uncertain on what I want it to be. When I made this channel, I named it MrBeast6000. I honestly have no idea where I got that from, but over the course of the years, I always end up changing the name to different things. I'll change it to MrBeast, I'll change it to just Beast, then I'll change it back to MrBeast6000. I just never can determine what I want it to be. Obviously, some of the reasons I changed the name is the fact that it has numbers in it. I mean, no big YouTuber has numbers in it. I didn't really think that through. There probably are some big YouTubers that have them, but for the most part, YouTubers have numbers in their name, and I've always kind of let that get to my head and let that make me want to change my name. And then honestly, the first time I changed my name was actually someone in my class asked me for my channel name, and I said MrBeast6000 is the name of my channel. And they looked at me and they're just like, MrBeast6000? I was like, yeah, that's the name of my channel. And I don't know, that just like kind of got— I let that get in my head. I was like, oh, is my channel name that stupid? But the problem with changing my name to Beast or even MrBeast is when I change it to that, no matter what I do, my name will not pop up at the top of of search results. So that means if I change it to MrBeast and someone watches my videos, then clicks off and then searches MrBeast, I do not pop up. And that is a huge red flag. I cannot let that happen. So to combat this, I decided why not just make a new channel and decide whatever I want my name to be? Because then I don't have to worry about changing MrBeast6000 to something different. I can just make a new channel name and I'll pop up at the top of search results. And that was actually the biggest lie I've ever told in my life. What I'm actually gonna do is change my name back to MrBeast6000 and just not care what other people think. That was the original original name on this channel, and I'm just gonna leave it up there. You know, maybe my name not popping up in search results is telling me that I shouldn't change it. Maybe Mr. B6000 should be what my name is. And in all honesty, it doesn't have a bad flow to it, and maybe it'll make me different, maybe it'll make me stand out, I don't know. But what's best for this channel is for when people search my name, I need to pop up. And so that means I need to leave it as Mr. B6000, and that's that. I'm not gonna worry about it anymore. I'm just gonna change it back to Mr. B6000, and I'm not gonna change it again. I'm just gonna leave it as that, and I'm not I'm not gonna let it get in my head like I said. So that's pretty much that. Just wanted to let you guys know why I'm always changing it. But I'm never gonna change it again. That was the original name of this channel. And you know what? I'm just gonna stick with it. Why not? I'm not gonna overreact to it. If you guys enjoy my content, it doesn't matter what my name is. You're still gonna watch it. And that's that.
