Donaldson began his YouTube channel on February 19, 2012.
His popularity increased when he started posting video game-related videos, like – ”Buried Round 50 Gameplay Black ops 2 Zombies” and ”Minecraft Factions: A Guy Sent His Home in Our Base.”
His series, “Worst Intros On YouTube,” was another reason why his YouTube channel had gained popularity. In these videos, he showcases and rants on horrible YouTube intros, typically made by young people. The series had about 70+ videos. On March 28, 2018, Jimmy made all his ”Worst Intros” videos private.
During PewDiePie vs. T-Series, a competition to become the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, Donaldson bought radio advertisements and billboards to help PewDiePie gain more subscribers than T-Series. Also, MrBeast advertised PewDiePie on newspapers and public posts.

In January 2017, he published an almost day-long video of himself counting to 100,000. The stunt took him to about 40 hours, with some parts sped up to “keep it under 24 hours.”
A follow-up video entitled “Counting to 200,000 (Road to a Mil)” was uploaded the next month; however, according to Jimmy, it too had to be sped up because the full 55 hours of counting exceeded YouTube’s upload limit.
At Super Bowl LIII, Jimmy bought seats by the end zone so he and his affiliates could wear shirts word by word saying “SUB 2 PEWDIEPIE” and was seen on T.V. by more than 110 million viewers.
On November 25, 2018, Donaldson said PewDiePie 100,000 times. At the start of the YouTube video, Jimmy tells his fans and new-comers to subscribe to PewDiePie “and to help him win the war.”

Donaldson earns most of his wealth from advertisements on his YouTube channels, sponsors, and selling merch.

However, his video production costs increased significantly. In July 2020, Jimmy said that he spent $3 million on YouTube videos for August alone. ”That’s gonna be my most expensive month to date,” the YouTuber said. ”Honestly, its kind of terrifying.”
