At the end of Mr Beast’s YouTube Rewind 2020, the content creator gave a shoutout to a small Australian channel that has since gained over 100,000 subscribers.
Mr Beast has become well-known for being charitable, sometimes giving large sums of money away to individuals and donating cash to organizations such as local animal shelters, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the Veterans Army Wounded Warrior Program. More recently, one of Mr Beast’s giveaways included a gift card hunt totaling $100,000 on a Minecraft server. In addition to his adrenaline-focused content, these charitable events are what led to Mr Beast being named Content Creator of the Year at the 2020 Streamy Awards, as well as several other awards.
In response to YouTube deciding not to do a Rewind for 2020, following years of controversy surrounding its annual videos, Mr Beast decided to make his own largely inspired by PewDiePie’s past YouTube Rewinds. It’s part of Mr Beast’s philosophy that content creators should have more say in the YouTube Rewinds, so at the end of his own video posted less than 24 hours ago, he gave a shoutout to a few small creators, including an Australian channel called Amelia and Bridie.
Prior to Mr Beast’s shoutout, Amelia and Bridie only had around 400 subscribers. The lifestyle YouTuber’s name was in a fishbowl full of random names, and after being lucky enough to get theirs pulled by Mr Beast the Australian channel has since gained over 100,000 new subscribers. Soyan Osman, a guitarist who often does reaction videos, was also pulled from the fishbowl and similarly gained over 100,000 new subscribers, despite only having 241 prior.
Each channel made their own reaction video for the onslaught of new fans, thanking Mr Beast for the gracious shoutout. “Thank you so much for supporting small YouTubers,” Bridie said. “That was honestly the biggest, best present ever, and great start to the year.” Many users commented with high hopes for the lifestyle channel saying, “I can see them being really big in a year or so.”
Osman, who is more of a comedic YouTuber, said he got “very jittery” as the subscriber count began to quickly rise, and said this overwhelming experience is “one of the craziest” he has ever had. His other social media accounts have blown up as well, and he is apparently being contacted by people he hasn’t heard from in years, the German YouTuber said.
Mr Beast’s YouTube Rewind has been doing exceptionally better than official YouTube Rewinds in the past. It even featured a “face reveal” for popular Minecraft YouTuber Dream at the end.
