MKBHD picking it up had nothing to do with his journey or level of skill.

MKBHD could have picked up something much less refined and it would have been popular, a different designer dabbling with no prior mobile icon interest could have come up with something appealing to others as well.

Being there and getting an influencer is what made this story, and can be repeated by anyone. OP is conflating the rest of it with his own trials and tribulations.

I think MKBHD also has to worry about his reputation, if he promoted something less refined his viewers might get pissed off.

It can happen and happens to influencers all the time. I'm glad it worked out for everyone involved. OP's prior work is not why it worked out.
