After uploading his ‘$456,000 Squid Game In Real Life!’ video, MrBeast’s YouTube channel has seen yet another surge in popularity.
In just three days, the movie, which had 456 players playing in a variety of games inspired by Netflix’s Squid Game, has racked up over 95 million views. MrBeast is not just one of YouTube’s most popular creators right now, but he is also one of the platform’s most well-known philanthropists.
On his other channel Beast Philanthropy, he uploaded another video titled ‘I Fed 10,000 Families For Thanksgiving!’ just a day before his ‘Squid Game In Real Life’ was released.
While many people complimented MrBeast for assisting in the feeding of those in need, some were not pleased and attempted to have him removed. His video was particularly chastised on the r/vegan subreddit, where users likened his conduct to an animal-harmed advertising gimmick.
Is MrBeast still on the air?
Despite the vegan community’s criticism of his film, MrBeast still maintains a large fan base. After defnoodles uploaded screenshots of the Reddit thread, many of his followers jumped to his rescue.
Discussions on the subject also brought up the current state of affairs for content providers. People were dissatisfied when MrBeast gave a sneak glimpse onto the scene where his real-life squid game video would be taped a few days prior.
Many others believe the $3.5 million he spent on the film would have been better spent if he had used it to help people. Then he filmed a video feeding 10,000 families, but he still received backlash, with many people calling for his show to be terminated.
People’s attempts to have MrBeast canceled were also discussed by PewDiePie. People are telling him that he should spend his money on something else. Unless he does… People will build any type of argument based on whatever surface level view they can muster. People deliberately misunderstand and manipulate information in order to make someone else appear bad.
MrBeast has been the subject of controversy in the past.
This isn’t the first time MrBeast has been chastised online. The YouTuber has been at the center of several debates, including whether he was gay, homophobic, transphobic, or racist.
He had previously received backlash after screenshots of him using racial obscenities on Twitter leaked.
“I was born a tank, but alas it wasn’t one of our 52 genders,” he says in a video from 2016, which has gone viral.
After the video’s comeback, several internet users characterized him as homophobic and transphobic. Some supported him, claiming that MrBeast was still young at the time, being only 17/18 years old.

Other content creators, such as Shane Dawson, were also brought in to explain that everyone was a lot less educated about these things back then, and that their comments, which were later deemed racist and inappropriate, were brought in to explain that everyone was a lot less educated about these things back then.
