THE world’s most popular YouTuber has earned £206,800 from posting a video on Twitter/X — after saying it was not worth it.
US star Mr Beast said creators only got a small sum from advertising.
But last week he posted an old video as an experiment and it had 155 million views.
Mr Beast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, 25, shared a screenshot and said: “My first X video made over $250,000.”
Twitter/X owner Elon Musk has seen advertisers quit over concerns about content on the site.
It has since started to share advertising revenue with creators.
Mr Beast said: “It’s a bit of a facade.
“Advertisers saw the attention and bought ads on my video (I think).
“My revenue per view is prob higher than what you’d experience.”
His YouTube page earned an estimated £63million last year.
