Now the question is, is MrBeast the next Netflix star? Let’s find out by assessing MrBeast and his relationship with the Netflix fans.
MrBeast and Netflix fans: a tumultuous relationship?
If you don’t already know, MrBeast was almost canceled by the Netflix fans when he announced his Squid Game video and he required a large budget to fund this project. He constantly kept asking his fans and followers for suggestions and ramped up the sale of his merchandise for this ambitious project.
He didn’t brave away from telling everyone that this project was burning a big hole in his pocket. Some people had started calling him out for wasting money, which could have been used for charity. Here are some tweets which will give you an idea about the same.

I know Mr. Beast does a lot of good and charity work. I approve of that. But rich people putting poorer people thru squid game like trials feels wrong. Like … It feels tone deaf af. I don't wanna cancel anyone. But imo… This is in poor taste. https://t.co/enliHobDq3

Why would you ever recreate the games. Be original and come up with your own games! Not hard. Probably you're only video I won't watch because of the lack of creativity. 😐

However, the fans were there to back him up in this situation. Here are some tweets from the fans replying to the ‘cancel posts’.
Cancel culture is really trying to cancel mr beast for doing a squid game irl? Are you guys insane? YOU can’t tell someone where to put their own hard earned money. If you care so much about “people” then why don’t you guys start making enough money to “end world hunger”

You guys trying to cancel mr beast for not using all his money on helping the world don't realize he got a philanthropy channel, team seas, team trees, and he's pulled more than a few people out of homelessness and debt, and you say #cancelmrbeast ? This Gen is messed up.

Even PewDiePie slammed the haters for trying to cancel MrBeast for doing this project.
All of this hate went futile because Jimmy started soaring heights of success following the release of this video. The video had the highest viewership on his channel and further catapulted his subscriber count to a considerable high! Seems like no one will be able to cancel MrBeast because he is able to win everyone’s heart with his charm and actions!
