MrBeast achieves Guinness World Record for 1 million Threads followers
MrBeast holds the title of the world's most-subscribed YouTuber.
Famous American YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has made history. He set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) on Meta's newly launched social media platform Threads. Within a few hours of joining the app and sharing just three posts, MrBeast became the first person to amass over one million followers. He surpassed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in terms of follower count.
Threads is the new platform launched by Meta (previously known as Facebook). Marketed as a rival to Twitter, the app has already gained a staggering user base of over 30 million in just 24 hours since its launch. Threads allows users to post text, links, reply to messages from others, and even port over their existing follower lists and account names from Instagram. The app's description emphasises that Threads is a space where communities can unite to discuss a wide range of topics, and users can connect with their favourite creators and like-minded individuals.
