MrBeast is a popular face on the internet who is known for his extreme generosity. The top-trending YouTuber never shies away from giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to random strangers. He has done that a lot in his career so far. However, the famous content creator has attracted unwanted attention online following the $1 million Fortnite challenge that he introduced a few days ago in the battle royale.

Everyone knows that the ultimate winner, GUILD Anas, eventually won the cash prize of $1,000,000. But what did the other top players get? Now that’s a big question doing rounds on the internet. It’s also because MrBeast recently conducted a poll online to decide the prize for the 2nd placed runner-up of his Fortnite Challenge. But the result of that poll shocked everyone online.
Fortnite fans are in disbelief and troll MrBeast with hilarious comments over his ‘prize reveal’ for the runner-up
Unlike other challenges that have been introduced in the battle royale in the past, the MrBeast Survival Challenge was totally one of its kind. Not because of a huge cash prize but also because there was nothing to win for non-winning players at all.
While GUILD Anas succeeded in claiming $1 million, there was hardly a significant difference between him and the players who just missed by a few points at the end. All things considered, they had also invested countless hours in Fortnite during the duration of the massive challenge. Hence, netizens are inclined towards the thought that they also deserved to win something that should have justified their hard work.
However, nothing of that sort happened as soon as the challenge wrapped up and the winner was announced. The only thing rest of the top players received was an in-game Glider. However, the situation became worse for MrBeast when he decided to conduct a poll in order to make a decision on what should be given to the 2nd place runner-up.

The surprising result of this poll indicated that the majority of the people wanted Jimmy to give a Taco to the runner-up, instead of awarding him with at least $10,000. This result eventually led to a wide trolling of MrBeast, especially on YouTube. So much so, that one content creator made an interesting video about this situation. A YouTuber named, HewMoran, uploaded a hilarious clip on his channel.
While it was obvious that the video was made to troll MrBeast for coming up with a bizarre option of giving a Taco as a consolation prize, people on YouTube also took the opportunity to make fun of him. “I heard about the tweet and thought the $10,000 won, honestly at this point the 2nd place winner is actually dead, like it better be a $100k taco” read a comment from a user.
