Mr Beast gained nationwide recognition when he starting posting heart-warming videos, such as Giving A Random Homeless Man $10,000. He continued posting such videos and claimed that an app called ‘Quidd’ was sponsoring the money that he was giving away.

In 2018, a YouTuber named FlyyDoesYT accused Mr Beast of faking his videos. The 25 minute-long video, which was full of accusations was taken seriously by many, as FlyyDoesYT had worked for Mr Beast for a week as an editor.

According to fellow YouTuber’s video, Mr Beast was accused of mistreating his employees by asking them to film his videos. He had also stated that Mr Beast pretends in front of the camera, and it is not his real self.
