MrBeast has got multiple videos scheduled that will only be released once he's died
MrBeast has casually got multiple videos scheduled for when he dies.
If the thought of death wasn't scary enough, it seems that some are more prepared than others, after-life-wise.
The 24-year-old - real name Jimmy Donaldson - is one of the platform's most followed YouTubers with a whopping 137 million subscribers and 735 uploads on his channel.

With a reported net worth of over $100 million, you'd imagine that MrBeast would be thinking more about how to spend his money while he's still alive, rather than when he's dead.
Anyway, he delved deep into the topic on the Lex Fridman podcast, where he claims that he's 'dreamt' about the idea.
No stranger to scheduling videos ahead of time, MrBeast explained: "When I had 8,000 subscribers and I was a teenager, I filmed a bunch of videos, and scheduled them years in the future, and I said... I filmed one where I was like, 'Hi, me in a year', and the video went up a year later, and it was just like, 'Hey, I think you'll have 100,000 subscribers'.
"And then, I did one where I was like, 'Hi me in five years'. And I was like, 'Hey, in five years I think you'll have a million'.
"And then, one that hasn't come out yet."
On the possibility of releasing videos after his death, the YouTuber said: "There are some that are scheduled like 20 years in the future, and so, if I don't die, I'll just move 'em up.
"And I remember... 'Cause I filmed these though like seven years ago, but it was... I remember saying a line like, 'If I'm dead, then I'm currently just in a coffin', and like whatever, blah, blah.
"Because the only way the video would go up is if I'm not alive.
"And if I'm not alive, then I won't be able to push back the scheduled upload dates so it'll go public automatically.
"And so, yeah, I have a couple of those."
He added: "If I knew I was gonna die of cancer or something, and I had like three months to live, I would vlog every day.
"I'd film so many videos, and then I would just schedule upload a video a week for the next five years, so it's like I'm still alive, and I would completely act like I'm still alive and everything, and I think something like that would be cool.
"I don't know why but I've fantasized... Not fantasized, but I've dreamt about that a lot."
