"Mr Beast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has the most YouTube subscribers of anyone in the world. So, it's a bit of a surprise to see how delicate his ego appears to be, after Rolling Stone published their list of the 25 most influential creators on social media. The list includes people like Jake Shane, Hasan Piker, Drew Afualo, all of whom have built significant followings across social media. Rolling Stone ranked Donaldson seventh clocking his 871.6 million followers."
""According to this list a guy with 1 million followers is more influential than me. What did I do to piss off the Rolling Stones?" Donaldson wrote on X/Twitter earlier this week with an image of Hearon. The response to the now deleted post was pretty universal in its derision on Donaldson. "Mrbeast's mask slipping this much in less than a year has been fascinating to watch," wrote one critic. "Sorry Jimmy, Caleb has something you'll never have: A personalty.""

Caleb Hearon placed sixth with about 1.6 million followers.

The initial post prompted broad online derision, with critics praising Hearon's personality and impact while dismissing Donaldson's content and questioning his influence.
