Part 3/7:
Mac's Departure and New Beginnings
As Eric faced criticism for allegedly faking content and involvement in dubious pilot activities, Mac took a step back. Shortly after, he launched his own channel. Despite uploading only two videos, including one titled "Surviving 100 Hours Controlled by AI," which amassed over 4 million views, his focus on personal content faded afterward.
While the exact reasons for Mac's exit remain unclear, the timing suggests a strategic move amidst Eric's turbulent situation. Just as Eric's viewership began to decline, Mac was drawn towards the rapidly rising success of Mr. Beast.
