MrBeast has 180 million YouTube subscribers and is estimated to reach 1 billion

MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, responded to a video of fellow YouTube star Jacksepticeye claiming during a lie detector test that he ruined the platform because now creators focus on views instead of just “having fun.”

Jimmy, 25, was clearly not happy about the allegations, especially since all he has done is worked on “inspiring kids to help people.” While MrBeast could have commented on Jacksepticeye’s content, he chose to be “the bigger man.”

“So, I ‘ruined YouTube’ because I didn’t buy a mansion and sports cars and instead reinvested my money into making content and focused on doing good and inspiring kids to help people?” MrBeast tweeted. “‘If he had fun the videos would be longer.’ What does that even mean?

“You think I’d give up every hour of my life for 14 years if I didn’t have fun? This clip is insanely disrespectful, in my opinion, and obviously there is so much I could say about his content, but I’ll just take the punches and be the bigger man. Sigh.”

MrBeast has 180 million YouTube subscribers and some estimate he will eventually reach the one billion mark. Jacksepticeye, meanwhile, boasts a healthy 30.3 million followers on the platform.
