With MrBeast boasting over 24 million subscribers, it comes as no surprise that the YouTuber sports a few copycats \u2013 the most prominent of which is British YouTuber \u201cMorgz,\u201d who has been called out for copying MrBeast\u2019s videos several times. In fact, a member of Donaldson\u2019s crew pointed out the similarities between their content in a pointed Tweet in May, showing a screenshot of Morgz\u2019s videos as compared to MrBeast\u2019s.
