Mack Hopkins started his journey on YouTube in August 2019 as Airrack’s editor, helping produce a variety of challenge and prank videos. He was the second member to join the Airrack crew, and was present throughout the comeuppance of the Airrack channel, learning the various editing styles and the methods to make entertaining and engaging videos for audiences.
Over time, Mack Hopkin’s presence as the editor of Airrack has waned. But the 23-year-old eventually managed to start his own channel, with his first-ever video being uploaded on April 27, 2023. Later in the year, he appeared in MrBeast’s video titled “World’s Most Dangerous Trap!” on October 7, 2023.
Many have speculated that his entry to YouTube may potentially indicate his exit from Airrack. However, no official confirmation has been received regarding his resignation from the Airrack team or the creator himself.

The creator uploaded his second video just a few days after his first on April 30, 2023. Titled “Surviving 100 Hours Controlled By Ai”, the video showed him asking ChatGPT questions on how to conduct himself for a variety of activities for 100 hours. This video was promoted by MrBeast on his X account as well, with him praising Mack’s familiar Airrack-like editing style and video design.
MrBeast is preparing for his upcoming subscription “war” with T-series, with the former having 238 million subscribers and the latter standing at a relatively close 259 million.
Expressing his liking for his fanbase in India, MrBeast made a post on X, wherein he clarified that his “war” was not directed against any country but was borne simply out of his want to be the number one most subscribed YouTuber in the world.
