MrBeast hits back at critics with surprising behind the scenes YouTube analytics

Not everything he posts is for views

MrBeast isn't new to criticism - it arguably comes with the job of being the world's most popular YouTuber.

Coming a long way from his early streaming his Minecraft plays, Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson is now reportedly worth around a billion dollars.

He built his YouTube empire from adventurous stunts like building Willy Wonka-inspired chocolate factories, surviving the harshest places on Earth and recreating the infamous Squid Game.

But his massive influence also brings lawsuits and controversy as shown by recent contestant claims from the set of his new Amazon show, Beast Games. One worker claimed they were nearly 'crushed' on the set, while other contestants have filed lawsuits alleging sexual harassment and mistreatment.

Meanwhile, the content creator is taking action against a former employee who he claims has been spying on him.

But in the midst of his critics, MrBeast has clapped back and posted his 'worst' videos on X, explaining that his content isn't just for entertainment and views.

The owner of Feastables and Lunchly shared on X: "My 2 worst preforming [sic] videos this year are the ones where I help people. Just thought I’d share this because some people think I just do it for views but I would get way more views if I didn’t help thousands of people walk and give away a million meals. People would also hate me less lol."

He followed up, saying: "Doesn’t matter though, I’m gonna keep doing it because I’m the most subscribed YouTube channel in the world and I believe using my platform to inspire people to do good is important (and I also like making these videos)".

The videos he's referring to: "I Helped 2,000 People Walk Again" and "Watch This Video To Feed 1 Person In Need" pulled in 24.3 million and 21.3 million views, respectively - numbers most creators would dream of.

Many followers praised Donaldson for his philanthropic intentions. "Honestly, that says everything about your character. The fact that your least-performing videos are the ones where you’re helping people and you still keep doing it speaks volumes," one fan wrote.

"You’re not doing it for applause or algorithms, you’re doing it because it’s the right thing. And that kind of integrity is rare."

Another pointed out: "If your worst performing has over 21M that's huge man".

But not everyone can be pleased as some users were quick to call him out.

"You make videos for little children, dude. They dont care about you “helping” people. They want to laugh," one commented while someone else argued: "Then why do you post, if you don't care about views?"

Whether or not everyone buys into his motives, the impact of his videos is undeniable.
