Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson tweeted a plea for assistance on May 16. The YouTube star, who has over 35 million subscribers and has given away millions of dollars in bizarre videos, reached out to his friends Christopher Tyson and Chandler Hallow to offer assistance.
You see, Tyson and Hallow are lacking a crucial feature of a modern influencer: the Instagram blue checkmark. You need mainstream media outlets to write about you or your content before the app will give you that coveted status symbol. As a YouTube-obsessed millennial with a public profile, I was eager to contribute to such a worthy cause.
