MrBeast’s Squid Game smashes YouTube records as it closes in on 100m+ views

Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is crushing YouTube records with ease, as his real-life Squid Game video has vastly surpassed 100 million views. 

MrBeast has brought his viewers outlandish content in the past, but his re-creation of the Netflix show Squid Game is his most ambitious feat yet. With over $400,000 up for grabs, the sheer scale of the video hasn’t gone amiss as it continues to rake in heaps of viewers.

MrBeast’s manager, Reed Duchscher, has shared some insight on just how successful the video has become.
