YouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is putting social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to the test again, uploading another full YouTube video.
MrBeastis the most-subscribed independent creator on the entirety of YouTube — and it’s fair to say he’s mastered the art of crafting a viral video.
The 25-year-old pulls in hundreds of millions of views on every upload, pushing himself andcontestants to the limit with insane challenges.
Earlier in January, MrBeastuploaded an old video to Twitter/X to test the site’s ad revenue. And after seeing some staggering results, he’s putting the platform to the test again with another post.

On January 26,MrBeast postedanother full-length video from his YouTube channel to X. “Curious to see if we can replicate the results we got on our last video,” he wrote, uploading his viral ‘Train Vs Giant Pit’ video.

After a week of uploading the video to Elon Musk’s revamped Twitter, MrBeast revealed it earned him a whopping $263k from 156 million impressions — which the YouTuber gave back to his fans in a giveaway
However, many users including MrBeast think the results are a “facade.” The YouTube star claimed he believed more advertisers than normally bought ads after seeing how much attention the post was getting.
Others accused the video ofbeing an “undisclosed ad”to inflate views as users saw it show up in their timelines more than usual.
Nevertheless, it’ll certainly be interesting to see how this video performs on X in comparison to the previous one.
