MrBeast calls out popular Russian YouTuber for stealing his thumbnails Instagram: mrbeast \/ a4omgJimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson has called out popular Russian YouTuber A4 for stealing his thumbnails, posting side-by-side comparisons that show the creator has been photoshopping his face onto MrBeast. MrBeast is currently one of the biggest YouTubers out there. With over 53 million subscribers on his main YouTube channel alone, he has established a loyal fan base and a reputation for making bizarre, and often philanthropic content. Jimmy is known for doing crazy things like buying islands, clearing out an entire store\u2019s worth of products, and plenty more videos that both aim to entertain and give back to his audience and friends. With the success he\u2019s had, and the quality of his videos, it\u2019s only natural that many creators out there will want to emulate MrBeast\u2019s style, but sometimes people take a little too much inspiration from the viral videos. On February 19, Jimmy tweeted a series of screenshots that showed his thumbnails next to a popular Russian YouTube channel, A4. A4 has just over 28 million subscribers, with his videos regularly getting over 10 million views. His videos largely consist of challenges like, \u201cthe last on to get out of hypnosis challenge,\u201d and \u201c24 hours in Kindergarten challenge.\u201d Among the videos are some that are strikingly similar to MrBeast\u2019s own content like, \u201cthe last one to leave the desert island challenge.\u201d In his tweet, Jimmy wrote: \u201cThe largest channel in Russia just takes my thumbnails and photoshops his face on mine.\u201d The thumbnail comparisons show just that, with A4 using some exact copies of MrBeast\u2019s thumbnails with the faces replaced, and others recreating the exact setup of the original thumbnails. The largest channel in Russia just takes my thumbnails and photoshop\u2019s his face on mine.. pic.twitter.com\/N74GZFdHqT \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeast) February 19, 2021 A4 responded to the tweet on his Instagram story, and from some commenter\u2019s rough translations the YouTuber appears to brush off the backlash. The translations imply that he considers the quality of the content to be the most important thing, claiming that he can do it better than MrBeast. Look what he replied. For those of u who don\u2019t understand Russian he said 1 \u201cpicture, pfff it\u2019s nothing. Better to the watch d quality of my content than the American. I do it 10K times better. Pics takes 10 mins, filmn- 4-10hrs (w\/o editing and planning)\u201d \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffd\u2642\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/ByTvY4nZ81 \u2014 Ajisegiri Mayowa (@AjisegiriMayowa) February 20, 2021 While many fans are calling for A4 to be banned, it\u2019s unclear what exactly the rules are regarding copyright issues for thumbnails. Regardless, the issue has baffled fans who had never heard of A4 until MrBeast tweeted about him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
