Creators furious as MrBeast nets $250K on Twitter\/X for posting old video YouTube: Curiosity StreamCreators are furious after MrBeast revealed he earned $250K after uploading an old video to Twitter\/X, sparking criticism against both the YouTube star and Elon Musk. Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is taking his YouTube talents to Twitter, recently posting his first-ever full-length video to the social platform as part of an experiment to test the site\u2019s ad revenue. However, the test was soon met with backlash after users speculated that MrBeast\u2019s post was being promoted as an \u201cundisclosed ad,\u201d with a swath of users claiming they were being served the video as soon as they opened the app. A week later, MrBeast announced that he\u2019d made $250K from the viral video, which he\u2019d initially posted to YouTube back in September 2023 \u2014 and it looks like quite a few creators aren\u2019t happy about this news. MrBeast slammed as Twitter\/X video rakes in $250K MrBeast disclosed his earnings in a post on January 22, 2024. While he was clearly gobsmacked by the amount he\u2019d made, he also called the big number a \u201cfacade.\u201d \u201cAdvertisers saw the attention it was getting and bought ads on my video (I think), and thus my revenue per view is probably higher than what you\u2019d experience,\u201d he theorized. Despite his explanation, a large number of fellow content creators are sounding off in the replies beneath his viral post, with many upset that MrBeast made so much money while smaller creators struggle to make mere hundreds on the site. \u201cYeah wtf, Elon literally gave you all our ad revenue, \u2019cause we got NOTHING, LMFAOOO,\u201d one user wrote. yeah wtf Elon literally gave you all our ad rev cuz we got NOTHING.. LMFAOOO \u2014 ryan \ud83e\udd3f (@scubaryan_) January 22, 2024 \u201cInteresting, I got $102.57 for 30 million impressions,\u201d another posed. \u201cLol so this is why my revenue was cut in half even after I doubled my engagements, lmao,\u201d yet another said. lol so this is why my revenue was cut in half even after i doubled my engagements lmao \u2014 FearBuck (@FearedBuck) January 22, 2024 However, others are in MrBeast\u2019s corner, with one user arguing: \u201cDang, all I gotta do is make increasingly high production videos and build a massive audience over the course of many years of grinding and hard work and I could make big money, too.\u201d Even large creators like CouRage commented on the situation, saying, \u201cI received your video a couple times as an AD haha. Appreciate you calling that out. I wonder what it would\u2019ve made without it getting promoted ads like that. Fun experiment!\u201d I received your video a couple times as an AD haha. Appreciate you calling that out. I wonder what it would’ve made without it getting promoted ads like that. \u2014 Jack \u201cCouRage\u201d Dunlop (@CouRageJD) January 22, 2024 Fun experiment! It\u2019s worth noting that MrBeast has given away all the cash he made with the video to his fans, saying in a follow-up post that he would give ten users $25K each if they reposted his tweet. This is far from the first time MrBeast has received criticism due to his viral online antics. In 2023, the YouTuber got hit with backlash after paying for people\u2019s cataract surgeries as critics claimed he was \u201conly seeking YouTube growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
