The YouTube maestro suffered from a dark time in his dream-chasing years, as fans saw some bizarre videos from him. To mention about one, MrBeast uploaded a video with a tagline, “I’m really sorry,” which left most of his fans shaken.

Sadly, he smashed a few things and kept cribbing during the entire video, as fans saw him complain about not uploading daily content. MrBeast looked shockingly depressed, as fans could easily point it out from the clips.

Struggling Youtuber, MrBeast once uploaded a bizarre video that no fan expected

On October 27, 2017, Jimmy Donaldson uploaded one of the most depressing videos on his channel. He made the video addressing his fans about not uploading one video per day, as he’d set certain goals for himself. At the start of the video, MrBeast explained the amount of content he’d produced in the year compared to what he’d planned.

Ironically, the YouTuber had plans to drop a fresh video every day and engage with his fans. However, he mentioned he could only upload 38 videos in the past 262 days, which wasn’t something he had planned.

To prove how sorry he was to his fans, MrBeast started by breaking some toasters and then moved on to wrap himself in 262 trash bags. Post that, he threw 62 plastic pumpkins at his iconic “Agent Sticker,” claiming that he did not motivate him enough to produce content.

While fans were recovering from this, MrBeast went on to put on 262 socks as he felt he could not walk the same floor as his fans. Quite shocking, right? Well, there’s more. Once Jimmy was done walking around with the socks, he stuck a massive pile of stickers on his hoodie. And lastly, he popped a chunk of chewing gums while answering questions asked by his squad.

Jimmy dropped the video after this, giving out a message that he would soon upload daily content. As of now, the video has over 5 million views and counting. While some might think that it was just Jimmy being Jimmy, the others surely understand his gimmick.
