In the interview Donaldson gave sometimes back to FLAGRANT, he talked about the aforementioned incident. The little MrBeast liked to play games often. One day when he was playing it, someone started randomly coming and attacking him in the game, absolutely destroying Jimmy. The hacker continued to do so daily, which really broke Jimmy’s patience threshold.

Finally, he decided to do something against these constant attacks. He created a video about this and called out these attacks. Though he said that the voice in that video was sort of messed up. Jimmy wanted the devs to take a look at the issue, but what the video actually did was garner him 20,000 views.

This was an enlightening moment for little Jimmy. From there, step by step, Donaldson started building his empire.

Andrew later asked Jimmy an interesting question. He asked Jimmy what he would say to the hacker if he ever sees him. Jimmy laughed and said he would thank the hacker for making him rich. He even added that he would give a couple of thousand dollars to the hacker. This seems like a typical MrBeast reply and it sure was hilarious.
