The market resolves based on the view count of MrBeast’s next standard YouTube video posted after this market is created, measured during its first 7 days of existence. For 'Yes' to be the outcome, that specific video must accumulate between 90 and 100 million views within that initial week.
- Will MrBeast's next video get between 46 and 48 million views on day 3? — resolved “No” on 22 Sept 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the specified video receives between 46 and 48 million views within its first 72 hours of posting.
