Jimmy Donaldson may not require an introduction, but his name may be unfamiliar to many. However, his second alias, MrBeast, is well-known to everyone. This 24-year-old is the undisputed ‘King of YouTube,’ and it’s not a joke. After all, he has over 129 million subscribers, and the number is growing every day.
MrBeast has grown so much on YouTube that he has even surpassed the former ‘YouTube King’ PewDiePie. Although it won’t be wrong to say that the latter’s channel is no longer as active as it once was. But aside from PewDiePie’s slum, what actually let MrBeast keep that top spot is his entertaining content.
This North Carolina-based YouTuber is the mastermind behind many entertaining videos on YouTube. He is the pioneer of over-the-top content, like hosting exotic giveaways or taking crazy challenges. But because of his content’s success, many try to copy him. Recently, MrBeast shared his thoughts on what should be done with his ‘copycats.’

MrBeast wants to roast those who copy him
Donalson has been quite vocal about this issue of people copying his content for a long time. A YouTube expert named Jay Alto recently shared that everyone wants to be the next MrBeast today. It is not wrong to think that, but the problem is when people start mimicking his content. But that copied content would take them nowhere.

Alto suggested they should only get inspired by the 24-year-old. Then they should take risks, constantly experiment and be creative with their ideas. This take from the YouTube expert sure attracted the ‘King’ of that Google-owned platform. He completely agreed with what Jay Alto had to say about other creators trying to copy him.
MrBeast then shared what he wants to be done with those who copy him, “Amen, someone should start roasting people that blatantly copy me to a T and change nothing.” The 24-year-old can ask fellow creator PewDiePie to do so, as the former YouTube King is famous for his funny commentary and humorous reviews.
