Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that MrBeast breaks Guinness World Records for being the first person to hit 1 million followers on Threads app.
The brand new social media app – a text-based conversation tool to rival Twitter – went live on 5 July.
It took the YouTuber, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, just a matter of hours to amass the impressive following.
He reached the milestone at 2:42 p.m. (BST) / 9:42 a.m. (EST) on 6 July. One of the first Guinness World Records for the app was set by Jimmy Donaldson, the YouTuber’s real name, who quickly grew a sizable following.
It was not the first account to do it, but the others belonged to companies like Instagram and National Geographic, so it was technically not the first.
In just three posts, MrBeast amassed a million followers, according to his Threads bio, which calls him the “Future Threads CEO”.
His first post, shortly after the app went live, read: “Soooooo, how long until we’re also addicted to this app? Lol.”
He also invited his fans to like a post if they thought Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg should make him the app’s CEO.
“I feel like I’m cheating on Twitter by using this app,” MrBeast joked. And when he learned of his record-breaking achievement, MrBeast tweeted us to say: “Shhhhh, don’t let the twitter police know I’m cheating on them”.
While technically his wasn’t the first account to reach the number, the others belonged to organizations like Instagram and National Geographic.
