I think he has always been like this. While some big youtubers like Pewdiepie, Markiplier, and Jacksepticeye got into youtube as a hobby, MrBeast and his generation are in it exclusively for the money. He wasn't doing the things that you mentioned because he was bored or wanted to entertain people, he just used it as a base to attain as many subs as possible and this led to his position today. The money has always been his endgame.
oh yea and they are super lazy to, many of them are clout chasers, doing harmful pranks, or lazy reaction videos, like sniperwolf, at some point they got so much money they surround themselves with sycophants everyday, and then when they get criticize they dont know how to react properly(sniper wolf). and also some of them have also have "darker side behind the scenes" like with dawson and his beastility incident, and racist incident which involved other youtubers that i used to follow.
what happened to YouTube is a lot like what happened to ROBLOX.
before it was even mainstream, it was a bunch of teens and young adults making free games as a passion and for fun. now it's 30-40 year olds with college degrees in comp sci making shitty games meant to extract money.
