MrBeast’s counting to 100,000 was one of the main steps to success in his career. It took him over 40 hours to count to 100k for a video which brought him worldwide attention in a very short period.

Naruto,one of the big three names in the world of anime is also known for its massive storyline, and according to Jimmy Donaldson, he didn’t want to invest so much time for nothing. He had the insane urge to make his watch more fruitful.
“I was watching a show called Naruto and it’s like 700 episodes but I couldn’t justify the time to watch it. So I really wanted to watch this show but I was like, it’s too much time so I just put it on pause and then I started thinking you know ‘How can I make money while I watch this’ and so I just, I blew it.”

It will surely attract a huge audience to the MrBeast videos as they will also pull theNarutofans who love to hear the character. On the other hand, non-native Japanese viewers will also benefit from this move. The Kansas-born YouTuber is undoubtedly one of the greatest internet personalities to exist and it can’t be denied that he did not leave the throne of the platform very soon.
