t has been a tough few weeks for Youtube’s MrBeast and things don’t seem to be looking up with the channel bleeding subscribers in rapid numbers.
From having to apologise for inappropriate language in old videos to facing the heat after one of his employees was accused of inappropriately messaging minors, MrBeast is not having the best time.
Known for his high-production videos and philanthropic activities, MrBeast, real name James Stephen "Jimmy" Donaldson, has become the owner of the most subscribed channel on Youtube.
However, in recent days, the content creator has seen a significant decrease in followers and subscribers following the multiple controversies he has found himself a part of.

Not only has he come under fire for the allegations against employee Ava Kris Tyson but more recently, he has been accused of ill treatment of staff members, hiring a known sex-offender and taking part in suspicious business practices.
As a result, his channel, which previously welcomed 300m subscribers, has seen losses in followers, subscribers and more importantly, revenue.
According to ViewStats, MrBeast’s main channel has had 153 million less views this month as it did previously.
Additionally, it received 12 million less subscribers than the last 28-day period which would result in around a $700k loss in revenue.
As it stands, the creator has not yet released a statement on these dramatic losses but it is clear that these numbers will be noticeable by him and his team.
With more and more unfavourable information being reported daily about MrBeast and his company, it isn’t looking too good for the future of his channel.
However, as the most subbed channel on Youtube, it will take a lot more for him to be knocked off the top spot.
