MrBeast reveals superfans use Discord to track his location YouTube: FLAGRANTMrBeast opened up recently about the crazier side of his fandom. Recounting a story where he discovered there\u2019s a Discord server dedicated to tracking his movements. Jimmy \u201cMrBeast\u201d Donaldson is one of the world\u2019s most recognizable online personalities. The content creator rose from his humble \u201cLet\u2019s Play\u201d beginnings to prominence thanks to his charitable endeavors. Today his channel boasts more than 230 million subscribers. And with a potential $100 million dollar deal with Prime Video potentially closing soon, MrBeast only seems to be getting bigger. But the YouTube personality recently opened up about one of the scarier sides of his fame. During a recent episode of the How to Take Over The World podcast, Donaldson recounted a story about discovering just how committed some of his fans are to tracking him down. \u201cI have this five-minute rule,\u201d he says going on to explain if he takes a photo with a fan, he has to leave the area within the next five minutes. \u201cBecause they\u2019ll post on Snapchat or Instagram, and then all of their friends come, and it gets crazy.\u201d Donaldson then recounted a story about a time he was at a Target and agreed to a photo with a fan shortly after arriving at the store. Although he was only stopping briefly to buy a toothbrush, by the time he was leaving, another fan approached him. \u201cA kid just runs in the front door and he\u2019s like, it\u2019s real!\u201d He explained. When Donaldson asked what the fan meant by that comment, their reply was enlightening. \u201cThere\u2019s a Discord that tracks your location and I thought it was fake, but it said you were here.\u201d Donaldson explained. He asked the fan to show him the Discord in question. Sure enough, any time someone tagged him in a social media post, a bot in the Discord would post it. Fans would then use the photos, working together to discern his location. \u201cThat stuff that doesn\u2019t happen when you have ten million subscribers.\u201d He said, explaining it was only once a personality reached \u201c100 million or whatever\u201d that the stakes changed so dramatically. Although he also recognized that level of scrutiny was intense, he also admitted there are bigger stars who deal with a lot more time in the public eye. \u201cTaylor Swift is obviously a different level to me, whatever I experience, she\u2019s probably experiencing it five times crazier.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
