Jimmy Donaldson aka MrBeast is a well-known YouTuber famous for his philanthropic stunts and challenges. He has been constantly pumping out content, and this is evident from the number of subscribers he has gained. On November 14, 2022, MrBeast surpassed PewDiePie to be the top subscribed solo content creator.
Although the journey to reach the top was not smooth for MrBeast. Posting content from the age of 13, it has taken MrBeast a decade to become the most-subscribed channel by an individual. While many must have thought it to end, it turns out that it was just the start of something more.

Twitter user Jay Alto has recently Tweeted about the exponential growth Donaldson is having. Showing the stats about the channel, Alto stated MrBeast has gained four million subscribers in 6 days. Calling this “the fastest period of growth for his channel, ” Donaldson is surely growing his channel at an unprecedented rate.
Seems to be the fastest period of growth ever on his channel?

MrBeast also commented on Alto’s Tweet. Correcting Alto, he said he gained 4 million subscribers in 4 days only. “I don’t keep up with analytics anymore, I just do whatever I think makes the best video possible,” MrBeast said. Fans have started speculating about what brought this growth in a such short time.

One possible explanation for MrBeast’s recent surge in popularity is his collaboration with other popular YouTubers. He has recently collaborated with Sidemen, MKBHD, Sapnap, and many more on his YouTube videos.
Another possible explanation given by fans is the wide amount of MrBeast channels. Although the main channel is gaining subscribers, MrBeast is producing content in other languages as well. This, combined with shorts, has increased his popularity.
While being a popular YouTuber, Donaldson has gained a lot of knowledge about content platforms. He recently schooled a YouTuber on the power of TikTok re-uploads. Now, he has taught a class at Harvard Business School.
