However, Donaldson started under a different username, called “MrBeast6000,” and was unsuccessful in finding stardom and a stable career on the platform during the first few years.

He slowly transitioned to gaming and tried different titles based on trends such as “Minecraft” and “Call of Duty.” Ironically, the star even engaged in making info videos estimating YouTuber’s wealth and commenting on YouTuber drama, offering video-making tips too.
