Interesting Facts
In his Twitter account, MrBeast responded that he was not faking anything in front of the camera. So, he has given lots of money for real. Some sources spread information that Donaldson was mistreating his employees by saying that he is suffering from Crohn’s disease and when he does not feel well, asks his employees to help with the videos.
Jimmy went with the MrBeast name because he thought he was cool. However, he never discloses his real name, at least in the complete version. The normal MrBeast channel was originally focused on the creation of gameplay videos. His primary games to cover were Minecraft and Call of Duty Black Ops 2. But the channel expanded as soon as he went away from gameplay videos. That’s one of the things to notice here, originality is what makes you viral in the online world, and you have to find some new ways to expand and explore the online ideas as you see fit. But it’s well worth it to begin with, and it constantly adjusts and adapts just like in MrBeast’s case.

MrBeast has posted a video about this topic. His expensive YouTube videos are mostly funded and sponsored by the coupon company Honey and he talks about it a lot. MrBeast is also a fan of PewDiePie because during PewDiePie vs T-Series, a competition to become the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, Donaldson bought billboards, numerous ads, and radio advertisements to help PewDiePie gain more subscribers than T-Series.
