In today’s social media world, viewership on short-form formats is growing much faster than it is on long-form videos. To reach consumers who are unlikely to stick around for more than a minute, brands and creators have embraced clipping — the creation of short videos that are pulled out of longer uploads — to expand the scope of their distribution.
Clipping has become so valuable that some experts in the craft are making up to $30,000 per month by providing short videos on behalf of creative partners. When there’s money flowing into the creator economy, MrBeast is rarely far away, and this instance is no exception. The most-subscribed YouTube star in the world has unveiled Vyro, a platform that pays users who contribute clips that meet creator and brand briefs.
Vyro hits clip makers with financial propositions so simple, you’d think they came out of a MrBeast video: In one campaign, for example, clippers earn $3 for every 1,000 hits their clips generate. Payouts are sent hourly and can be withdrawn to crypto wallets, PayPal accounts, and traditional banks.

MrBeast and Mark Rober are listed as two creators who are soliciting clips via Vyro. The new platform continues MrBeast’s efforts to bring his trusted video production, distribution, and marketing tactics to the masses. With analytics platform ViewStats, the leading creator provided access to the numerical data that informs his own content decisions.
Now, with Vyro, he’s recognizing that the shifting winds of the creator economy require new types of matchmaking services. MrBeast has become more active on YouTube Shorts, and he seems to recognize that a robust presence on short-form hubs is a key asset for creators who are looking to build multiplatform brands. With traditional publishers also embracing clipping, platforms like Vyro will become crucial tools for creators who need enough video volume to keep up with algorithmic demands.
Tubefilter has reached out to MrBeast’s team for comment. Check back on this point for more details on the scope of the new service. If you’d prefer, I can provide a short-form update on social media as well — but I may need someone to Vyro that for me.
