A social media feud has erupted between YouTubers MrBeast and Jacksepticeye after the latter insulted the former by saying that he had “ruined YouTube.”
It all started on September 2 when X user @bowtietwt shared a 43-second clip, in which Jacksepticeye discussed MrBeast’s content. According to the YouTuber, MrBeast “ruined YouTube” because his content has become all about “views, money, and popularity.”
“Yes. Because it became more about views, money, and popularity than it did about having fun. If he had fun doing those videos, they’d be longer. We’d see the fun,” Jacksepticeye said.

MrBeast responded to Jacksepticeye by asking if he “ruined” the platform by not buying expensive things and instead reinvesting his money by making content that inspires people “So, I, ‘ruined YouTube’ because I didn’t buy a mansion and sports cars and instead reinvested my $ into making content/focused on doing good and inspiring kids to help people?” he asked.
“‘If he had fun the videos would be longer.’ What does that even mean, lol? You think I’d give up every hour of my life for 14 years if I didn’t have fun?” he added
MrBeast made it clear that the short video was “insanely disrespectful.”This clip is insanely disrespectful IMO (in my opinion) and obviously there is so much I could say about his content but I’ll just take the punches and be the bigger man. Sigh,” he said.
Where does MrBeast live?
The 25-year-old YouTuber currently lives in a house worth $318K outside of Greenville, North Carolina. Jimmy, who has a massive net worth of $54 million.
MrBeast purchased the first house in the neighborhood of Grenville in 2018 for around $320,000. Since then, fans of the famous YouTuber have praised him for choosing a more “modest” lifestyle in North Carolina despite having enough money to be able to afford the most luxurious of lifestyles in Hollywood.
Back in May, MrBeast purchased five homes for his employees in the same neighborhood that he lives in. At the time, when news of his purchase became public, people didn’t seem too happy with it. While some compared it to a cult, others called him out for it.
