MrBeast is a popular YouTube channel known for its vlogs, challenges, and over-the-top expensive videos, founded by the American YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, now being hosted by Donaldson, starring his crew, and currently being managed by MrBeast LLC, a limited liability company consisting of editors, producers, cameramen, and more.
The channel has gained immense popularity for its unique videos featuring philanthropy, elaborate challenges, and stunts. Having reached over 267 million subscribers as of June 2, 2024, it is the most subscribed channel of all time, the most subscribed channel in the United States, and the most subscribed channel started by an independent creator (or considerably, the most subscribed non-brand channel).
English channels[]
MrBeast Gaming
MrBeast Gaming is the third active YouTube channel by MrBeast and the second channel with the most subscribers. The premise of this channel revolves around gaming in general and challenges where player(s) gain a large reward for completing a challenge, like $10,000. Most gaming YouTubers play games solo, but MrBeast always plays with Karl, Kris or Chandler (always we see at least two of them or the three in ever video) and at least some other people; like another crew member (Nolan or Ethan or Tareq); other gaming YouTubers (Specially Dream, Technoblade and Fundy) or even a wide variety of regular players.
As of April 2021, this channel gained a total of 2 billion views and 16.5 million subscribers, making it one of the fastest growing YouTube channels in history.
Beast Reacts
Beast Reacts, formerly BeastHacks, and prior to that, Mr.Beast, is the second active YouTube channel by MrBeast. The premise of this channel revolves around MrBeast and Kris reacting to DIYs, experiments, trickshots, and other related videos. These videos usually last around 8 minutes.
As of August 2021, this channel gained a total of 900+ million views and 10+ million subscribers.
MrBeast 2
MrBeast 2 is the fourth active YouTube channel by MrBeast. This channel consists of videos of MrBeast and the crew doing things from which the videos wouldn't fit in other channels. For instance, the main channel is about challenges, MrBeast Gaming is about gaming, Beast Reacts is about reaction videos, and Beast Philanthropy is about documenting the team's charity acts. As of January 2023, this channel gained a total of 18 million subscribers.
The content of the channel consists of two main parts: the bigger part of the channel consists of shorts where the videos are short (under a minute) and vertical, much like on TikTok. In these shorts, MrBeast and his friends tend to doing random things, often comedic. The other main part of the channel are longer miscellaneous videos that wouldn't otherwise fit on any other channel.
The reason why this channel has two types of content is because of the fact that there was an already existing channel that was also called "MrBeast 2", which only had the first few longer miscellaneous videos that the current channel has (the channel that used to be MrBeast 2 was now renamed to MrBeast 3 and has the same profile picture as the main channel, but it is now inactive and has all of its content deleted). Moreover, there was also the existence of the channel MrBeast Shorts, which really is the previous version of the current MrBeast 2 channel but it only had short videos.
Beast Philanthropy
Beast Philanthropy is an American charity, food pantry, non-profit organization, and YouTube channel created by MrBeast. The food pantry is operated by Darren, who initially appeared in the videos I Adopted EVERY Dog in a Dog Shelter and I Bought Everything In 5 Stores on the main channel.
Given that MrBeast has previously done a wide variety of things to assist both poor and middle-class people in the videos, behind the scenes, he has a goal of ultimately helping lots of people around the world and feeding those in need, so he has opened his charity for the purpose of giving away free food to poor people.
The model of this charity essentially works as a mobile food distribution network and doesn't keep its food drive in the same place. It is established to address the food insecurity needs of remote and under-served food deserts. These are communities who don’t have access to traditional food banks or food pantries, so their mobile food distribution model allows them to service a number of communities, transporting meals to the people who need it most.
Forgotten channels[]
MrBeast 3 MrBeast 3 was channel were they did most there live streams like giveaways
Dont Subscribe
Along with UK YouTuber JackSucksAtLife, he created the channel Don't Subscribe. He gives ten cents to Jack for every subscriber. The challenge is up to 1,000,000 subscribers or $100,000.[1] Although there are no videos on the channel, Jack has made a lot of videos promoting the channel.
MrBeast Extra
Jimmy uploaded the second $200,000 Youtuber Battle Royale video on this channel.
International channels[]
Starting July 8, 2021, MrBeast started launching new YouTube channels dubbed into other languages. These channels are identical to their original English counterpart except all text and sounds are changed. The translations are run by a company created by MrBeast himself, also doing translations for other YouTubers. Some of these channels stopped uploading in December 4, 2022 in advent of multiple audio track support on YouTube, except the Spanish channel (which stopped receiving updates after December 17). The dubs are now made inside the respective original videos. These channels include Portuguese, Russian, French, Hindi, Japanese, and Arabic.
Purpose[]
These channels are created for the purpose of reaching a wider and international audience, as well as being part of the non-English YouTube communities in general.
As for why people would prefer watching dubbed videos over subtitles, they might have impaired vision or can't grasp the speaker's tone by reading what they are saying. Even though these users could use auto-translation subtitles, another problem would be the inaccuracy of this feature, as well as the fact that there is no punctuation in these subtitles.
Also, English text shown in the videos themselves cannot be translated within the same video and the fact that these users don't usually stick to English videos means the crew preferred doing audio translation, just like a regular television series, and translating featured text in the videos in the different language.
Type of content uploaded[]
These channels only upload the latest type/quality of content (for example, in the main channel, they'd only upload videos of them doing challenges or giving away money, or in the reaction channel, they'd only upload the reaction videos from 2021 and after that) with the older and more obscure videos being ignored and discarded for translation. They aren't uploaded in the same order as the English channels, and the order is rather random.
The background music is often different (presumably substituted with tracks foreign users will be more familiar with) in these videos, and sounds like clapping, footsteps and wind blowing present in the original video are substituted with foley sound effects in order to separate voices from other sounds present in the video. If somebody speaks into something that alters their voice, such as a megaphone, a filter will be applied to the voice-actor's recording to recreate the effect.
Occasionally, foreign accents will be kept intact in dubbed videos rather than substituted with a local one. For example, in the Spanish version of "Impossible 0.0000001% Odds!", a man who won $250,000 in the lottery by accident is dubbed in Spanish, yet the voice actor imitates an Australian accent for the line. This was likely done because Kris says moments later that the fact the man is Australian makes the video even better, which would get lost on the viewer if he no longer has an accent.
History and channels[]
On July 8, 2021, two Spanish-language channels were launched: MrBeast en español (MrBeast in Spanish) and Beast Reacts en español (Beast Reacts in Spanish). The former contains some of the videos uploaded from the main channel, in no particular order, and they are dubbed and translated to Spanish, while the latter contains some of the videos from 2021 to present day, also dubbed and translated to Spanish. On November 2, 2021, MrBeast Gaming en Español was created.
On August 5, 2021, MrBeast launched MrBeast На Русском (MrBeast in Russian). This channel contains some of the videos uploaded from the main channel, in no particular order, and they are dubbed and translated to Russian. On November 12, 2021, MrBeast Reacts На Русском (MrBeast Reacts in Russian) was created. A day later, MrBeast Gaming На Русском (MrBeast Gaming in Russian) was created. All channels stopped uploading in late February to early March 2022, possibly due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
On October 9, 2021, MrBeast launched MrBeast Brasil (MrBeast Brazil). The channel contains videos uploaded from the main channel dubbed and translated to Portuguese in no particular order. On November 22, 2021, the Beast Reacts em Português and MrBeast Gaming Brasil channels were created.
On November, 26, 2021, the MrBeast Japan ミスタービースト channel was created. The channel was later deleted for unknown reasons and then brought back at July 20, 2022, but remained unused.
On November, 27, 2021, the MrBeast en Français (MrBeast in French) channel was created.
On January, 27, 2022, MrBeast हिन्दी (MrBeast in Hindi) was created. The channel then uploaded their first video on May 5, 2022.
On February, 19, 2022, MrBeast in Arabic - مستر بيست بالعربي was created. The channel then uploaded their first video on August 25, 2022.
On December 4, 2022, multiple videos were uploaded on all channels except the Spanish-language channel to announce the cease of uploads on the channels. The video announces that the dubs are now available inside the original videos with the multiple audio track feature on YouTube.
It is very likely that as MrBeast's team of dubbers and translators grows, more channels will be covered for translation in more languages in the future. MrBeast said in an Impaulsive podcast episode that he plans to make international channels in the top 10 languages.
MrBeast's secret channels[]
In addition to the main and side channels MrBeast listed under the "channels" section on his main channel, MrBeast has 6 other secret and inactive channels: Totally Not MrBeast, beast, Beast Network, MrBeast5997, MrBeast5998, and MeTalkOverGames. The first five channels were discovered by Timeworks, DUCK The Chuck, and Maj Craft in a collaborative video uploaded by Timeworks on July 26, 2020, in a video titled "MrBeast Has Secret YouTube Channels? (discovered!)", with the last channel being discovered solely by Timeworks in a video titled "MrBeast Has A SECRET Channel With Only 60 Subscribers? (REVEALED!)". Until then, the channels were obscure to many fans, with little subscribers and views on the channels.
Old Channels[]
beast[]
beast (formerly WeTalkOverGames and MrBeast6001) is a gaming/tutorial/analyst channel created by MrBeast on January 4, 2013. Originally, the channel was created by MrBeast and 3 of his old high school friends where they would do gaming videos and give commentary over it (hence the old name, WeTalkOverGames). However, the channel's ownership was handed over to solely MrBeast after the 3 friends quit, explained in a video titled "New Ownership Of This Channel" uploaded on July 12, 2015.
Afterwards, the channel became the original secondary MrBeast channel. Several tutorial videos were uploaded, relating to Sony Vegas and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. Then, a few analyst videos were uploaded on the topic of estimating the amount of money famous YouTubers at the time had. This came after the channel briefly changed its format to be about "money". The latest video uploaded on the channel was "Weirdest Channel On Youtube" on February 20, 2017. It is currently inactive.
