Them Donut Boys are at it again. Wait, no, they are breaking up.

I saw a video of some guy reacting to Mr. Beast's jet-powered car, but this one was blue, with more jets, and wings?
It cleared the buses, with a genuine Launchpad McQuack landing.
I couldn't find a Mr. Beast video about it, just seemingly-unrelated ones, like one sending a train into a pit.
Why would I watch that?
Are you not into trains?!
Well, it seemed like this video had several different gimmicks, including a blue Camaro with 10 [smaller] jets, wings, and it indeed clears the buses, but there was no mention of Donut Media.

They just copied Donut's work and stuck with Jet Engine Guy? I keep seeing suggestions for this video, but I rarely care about videos about channels I watch, but this guy said that Donut worked nonstop on their two RC Camaros for 30 days, and he didn't even mention them in his video--and the 10.4-minute video was about 8 different gimmicks

Mr. Beast didn't mention Jet Engine Guy in the first video, either, but Donut involved him in theirs.

He did a lot of work!
They worked like crazy for 30 days to 56 seconds of Mr. Beast's video--and none of them appeared in it.
Mr. Beast didn't sponsor their video, WD40 did, and it didn't do significantly better than their other videos.

Anyway, I wanted to update the jet-powered car, but just since we have discussed Donut, I wanted to inform you that hosts who have been with them for years have been leaving.

A month ago these two guys announced starting their own channel, saying they were contractually obligated to continue with some projects, but they never did what they were hired to do, and over the four years they worked for Donut, their job resembled that less and less: Eleven days ago, this guy, who had been with Donut for 9 years, left. He gave Donut's history, at least from when he joined, and talked about everyone who contributed to their success, but said that they were bought out in 2021, and he had increasing creative differences with their new overlords until they agreed to part ways.

Did he quit?

Did they fire him?

Was this a "I quit!" "You can't quit, I fire you!" scenario?

I don't know, but someone pointed out that we now have 3 car channels to watch.
Someone compared this to Bon Appetit, which apparently had people leave to create their own channels, and then viewers had more content. This guy left Tavarish recently: Apparently, Doug DeMuro chimed in: YouTube keeps recommending this video by a lady who I don't know:
