An American Hero Once Revealed How MrBeast Inspired Him to Click a Mouse One Million Times!

MrBeast and his efforts as a content creator have influenced many people. His journey of beginning from the ground up is an inspiration for many. He not only inspires creators now but had a similar impact on the YouTube community 5 years ago.

MrBeast is the most influential content creator in the YouTube community right now. With over 100 million subscribers, the mass entertainer spends millions making just a single video. Although, this was not the case for him when he actually started making videos. There was a time when he used to make videos such as “Saying Logan Paul 100,000 Times” and “I Counted To 100,000!”. The interesting thing was that his later video inspired an American hero to make a similar video.

The time when a soldier got inspired by MrBeast

5 years ago, on Jan 18, 2017, a small YouTuber by the name of Reno Baker achieved the daunting task of clicking the fastest clicks on his mouse 1,000,000 times in 17 hours. This was especially surprising to know because a few months back, he retired from the American Air Force. Apart from this, he also gave his thanks to MrBeast to inspire him on making such a video.

In an interview with Vice, the YouTuber talked about his achievement by saying, “After seeing MrBeast on YouTube count to 100,000, I felt inspired to complete a similar daunting task, only because I had the time.”

To which the interviewer asked how Reno kept himself entertained during completing his task. To which he replied, “I was planning to watch some anime, listen to music, and just pass the time any way I could. But after 100,000 clicks I had realized how focused I was on clicking fast. I didn’t want to divide my attention.”

What did Baker use to do before?

During the interview, the reporter asked Baker how did he serve in the Military and for how long. To which the YouTuber replied, “I served for four years in the Air Force. I had just recently finished my service honorably a few months ago, and I really wanted to go after this YouTube dream when my service was done.”

A fascinating question that the reporter posed to Baker was how the military prepared him for such a monumental undertaking. To which he replied, “The skills I learned in BMT [basic military training] really prepared me for this. BMT was one of the most challenging things I’ve had to go through. And I know at 400,000 I was already comparing the clicks to some of the mentally breaking things we had done in training.”
