YouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is putting social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to the test again, uploading another full YouTube video.

MrBeast is 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 and contestants to the limit with insane challenges.

Earlier in January, MrBeast uploaded 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.

MrBeast uploads another video to Twitter/X

On January 26, MrBeast posted another 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.

The internet star first uploaded the video in July 2023, and it’s since gained over 186 million views as well as close to six million likes at the time of writing.

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 of being 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.
