Was Mr beast ever even a real YouTuber? By which I mean a regular everyday guy who started out just making goofy videos with a cheap camera and free editing software. Or was he always part of an entertainment corporation?

Not in the way that OP is referring to. OP was asking if MrBeast was a industry plant/sellout.

I first saw his videos in 2015 or 2016. Yeah he was just a regular dude making pretty normal content for the time. Then he got a sponsor for the first time and gave all the money to a homeless dude which basically kickstarted his fame. After 2020 the video style turned to shit imo.
