MrBeast, the world’s most popular YouTuber, has revealed he earned more than $250,000 (€229,000) from posting a video to X, formerly known as Twitter.

The American had previously said it was not worth posting new content directly to the Elon Musk-owned platform because creators only received a small amount of advertising revenue.
