Per capita beef consumptionMrBeast YouTube subscribers
American per-capita beef consumption climbing as MrBeast's subscriber count climbs. The viewer is, statistically, eating beef while watching the stunt video. The graph is, again, almost a portrait of the household.
US per-capita beef consumption grew modestly across this window from about 56 to 60 pounds per person as the keto, paleo, and carnivore-diet trends partially offset earlier declines. MrBeast YouTube subscribers grew from about 14 million in 2016 to over 200 million by 2024 as the philanthropy-and-stunt format scaled. Two completely unrelated growth stories sharing a window because the same six years rewarded both a per-capita dietary trend and a single creator's reach.
Two completely independent American defaults grew. The plate and the channel, both up.
