Mr. Beast Flexes Influencer Reach In Response To Sky-High Super Bowl Ad Prices

YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, better known by his official handle on the platform, Mr. Beast, flexed his online reach in response to the sky-high prices of Super Bowl advertisements. 

What Happened: In response to sports reporter Joe Pompliano‘s post on Twitter regarding the “cost of a 30-second Super Bowl Ad” that has reached $7 million in 2023, Mr. Beast said that if anyone wants to reach 100 million people, they can do it in less than that “crazy” amount.

Why It’s Important: The 2022 edition of the Super Bowl was watched by 99.18 million viewers in the U.S., according to German database company, Statista.
