    How YouTuber Mr.Beast’s Kindness & Collaboration Keeps Going Viral

    With more than 406 million subscribers, Jimmy Donaldson- better known as Mr.Beast- has become the most successful YouTuber by doing outrageous acts of generosity.  The fact that Mr.Beast’s strategy of using video revenue, sponsorship and collaboration to fund lifechanging projects around the world is an inspiration to any of us trying to go above and beyond the status quo to do-good for others and the environment. Spending a month off work was a perfect excuse to binge Mr.Beast’s unscripted reality gameshow called BEAST GAMES for Amazon Prime. I was in good company as one of 50 Million viewers in its first month.  Read the entire post on MEDIUM here' https://medium.com/@jjwalsh/how-youtuber-mr-beasts-kindness-collaboration-keeps-going-viral-cfbb106696e8 BGM is from Michelle Huang who is a DJ and a talented music-maker as well- check out her DJ Sparkill original tunes on @SoundCloud    / myvanillatictac
