YouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson enjoyed enormous success with his Squid Game IRL recreation, but he wasn’t the only one. The content creator has shared that a number of his fellow YouTubers have also gone viral thanks to his sensational video.
MrBeast has been creating content for YouTube since he was 13. However, it’s only in recent times that his popularity has exploded, becoming one of the fastest-growing channels on the platform with 94.3 million subs, as of writing.
After his nearly 24-hour-long video of him counting to 100,000 went viral, Donaldson turned his eye to more ambitious and wild ideas. Just some of his content has included a $500k circle challenge, adopting every dog from a rehoming shelter, and buying the world’s largest mystery box.
However, it was his $3.5 million recreation of the hugely popular Netflix TV series Squid Game which really helped catapult him to global stardom. Not only did the video prove highly beneficial for Donaldson, but it also helped boost numbers for several other content creators, too.
How MrBeast’s Squid Game helped other Youtubers
With 244 million views as of writing, Donaldson’s Squid Game video helped the YouTuber become a huge star on the platform. Building painfully accurate recreations of the sets seen in the South Korean TV show, Donaldson had contestants battle it out in a number of games as seen in the series to be the last player standing and win $456,000.
