The YouTube star questioned the placement in a now-deleted post, sparking widespread criticism.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">What happened to MrBeast and Caleb Hearon?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A new controversy unfolded online after MrBeast reacted to Rolling Stone\u2019s latest ranking of digital creators. The YouTuber, who holds the record as the platform\u2019s most-subscribed creator and commands hundreds of millions of followers across social media, was listed at number seven on the publication\u2019s list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The controversy escalated when attention turned to the fact that comedian and actor Caleb Hearon appeared above MrBeast on the list. Hearon, who has an audience of just over one million followers, was ranked more influential than the YouTube star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">MrBeast reacted by posting his frustration on X. He wrote, \u201cAccording to this list a guy with 1 million followers is more influential than me.
