Who is MrBeast and why does he have so many YouTube subscribers?
Who is MrBeast and why does he have so many YouTube subscribers?
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast online, is an American YouTube personality, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, who has recently become only the second creator to reach 100 million subscribers. The 24-year-old pioneered a content genre focusing on expensive stunts, challenges and donations. The more popular he gets, the more money he gives away. The YouTube star documented his live reaction to hitting the milestone on a YouTube stream, where he thanked everyone for their support. "I appreciate every single one of you that watches the videos. This is literally all I've ever done with my life," he said, adding, "All I do is wake up every day and obsess over how to make the best videos possible. It's all I care about. It's the only thing that's ever really made me happy." He also tweeted a celebratory message on Twitter to express his gratitude, saying, "I'm grateful I get to do this all day everyday," adding in a separate post: "No matter how big I get I'll never own a mansion, yacht, Lamborghini etc. All I want is to make the best videos possible and help as many people as I can while doing it." The viral sensation has also shared a clip which saw him pay for cataract removal for 1,000 people who could not afford surgery to cure their blindness. His YouTube video saw MrBeast work with ophthalmologist and surgeon Jeff Levenson, who runs the Gift of Sight program in Florida, helping people by providing free cataract surgery to people who need it most. Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "I don’t understand why curable blindness is a thing. Why don’t governments step in and help? "Even if you’re thinking purely from a financial standpoint it’s hard to see how they don’t roi on taxes from people being able to work again." But where did it all begin?

Michael Duff feels ‘good fella’ Darren Moore ‘deserves loads of credit’
Michael Duff feels ‘good fella’ Darren Moore ‘deserves loads of credit’
Barnsley head coach Michael Duff has expressed admiration for Sheffield Wednesday counterpart Darren Moore before Monday’s Sky Bet League One play-off final. The pair go head-to-head at Wembley on Monday when the two South Yorkshire rivals clash in the third tier’s winner-takes-all season finale. Barnsley edged past Bolton 1-0 on aggregate in their semi-final, while Wednesday overcame the biggest first-leg deficit in play-off history before beating Peterborough on penalties. Moore silenced the Owls fans who had called for him to be sacked after his side’s 4-0 first-leg defeat appeared to have left them dead and buried and Duff paid tribute to his rival manager. Duff said: “Darren deserves loads of credit because one thing he’s done the whole season, when weirdly there’s been a bit of noise about him when they got 96 points this season, is keep his counsel because he’s a good fella. “First and foremost, he’s a good fella. He’s obviously a football man, he’s been around it a long, long time. “I don’t know what he’s like as a manager in terms of day-to-day stuff, but you take people as you find them and we’ve beaten them twice and he’s been humble, he’s taken it. “He says ‘fair play to you’ and shakes your hand. No excuses afterwards that some managers come out with. He said ‘better team won’ and I think that goes a long way just as a human being.” Barnsley completed the league double over the Owls this season for the first time since 2009, winning 2-0 at Hillsborough in September and 4-2 at Oakwell in March. But they finished 10 points adrift of their local rivals in the table, with the Owls’ 96-point tally more than any other side not to finish in the top two of any league in English football’s history. That did not stop the vitriol that came Moore’s way after his side’s 4-0 semi-final first-leg defeat at Peterborough. Was he a terrible manager when they got beaten 4-0? No. And he's become an even better manager now because of the belief he gave them Michael Duff on Darren Moore Some fans called for his head before the return leg, while Wednesday were forced to issue a statement condemning a racist message directed at Moore on social media. “It shows you the emotional state people can get into,” Duff said. “Darren’s a good manager, full stop. “Was he a terrible manager when they got beaten 4-0? No. And he’s become an even better manager now because of the belief he gave them. “Things he said in interviews and in the dressing room, things he showed the players. Good management. He managed to get the best out of it.” Barnsley finished fourth in the table, one place below Wednesday, and their 86-point haul would have been enough for automatic promotion in three of the last 10 seasons.
