Did some of MrBeast's real personality shine through?

Many would be honored to have a spot at the top 10, others wouldn't care what a magazine says about them.
MrBeast chose a different option. On X, hemade his dismay public about someone with less followers being ahead of him.
What Jimmy didn't factor in was that RollingStone doesn't just look at follower numbers. They also weigh in engagement rate and audience growth. And Caleb is not only a gay icon, he is also a positive role model for everyone on the heftier side, with which he gained a lot of traction.

Caleb Hearon is a comedian who gained a lot of attention with his podcast appearances. Especially So true with Caleb Hearon produced a lot of clips that were posted again and again on TikTok. He jokes a lot about gay and fatphobic stereotypes. As a gay and hefty man himself, his confidence means a lot for many in the community.

I want fat people – especially little fat gay kids in red states – to watch my stuff and go ‘Oh, actually, a cool life is possible for me."
MrBeast Unmasked?
Many people were perplexed by MrBeast's post. Wouldn't he realize how bitter this makes him look? He definitely realized the mishap after many people told him in the comments and he later deleted the post. Is this a glimpse at the real Jimmy not posing as his internet persona, MrBeast? Or was this just another instance of a joking comment that fell flat?
RollingStone also explained in their ranking that his Amazon show Beast Games has led to controversies and class-action lawsuits, as some of the game show contestants claimed to be severely mistreated. Instead of looking at the magazine's reasoning, Jimmy seems to assume that RollingStone is just out to get him.
