p>Minecraft YouTuber? Dream has rapidly risen in the ranks of creators, becoming one of the fastest-growing YouTube? channel's of 2020 and the number two overall creator of the year according to the platform. The faceless green avatar with a knack for discovering "Minecraft's" cavern-filled secrets has managed to gain more than 16 million users in less than two years. But what exactly makes Dream so special and popular when there have been thousands of content creators who have created worlds with Minecraft's characteristic blocks?

p>Who is Dream?

/p>

p>Dream's identity and personal life are still unknown. The YouTuber?, who prefers to keep his identity private, decided not to reveal his identity. The avatar he uses online is a simple, neon-green figure. The figure's aesthetics are famous, and easily recognizable to the typical "Minecraft" user.

/p>

p>Mysticat, a YouTuber?, states that Dream's brand is "unprofessional however that doesn't mean it's bad." Dream utilizes a Microsoft Paint drawn character that's fun and appealing to children, which is Minecraft's core audience."

/p>

p>Dream started his YouTube? channel in 2014 but it's unclear if the channel was regularly updated until July of this year. In his first video Dream "triggers" viewers by playing the game as badly as possible. He does this by placing blocks on top, killing sheep for their wool eating rotten meat, and even placing blocks on top.

/p>

p>After his first upload, Dream started posting content regularly. Felix Kjellberg, known online as the wildly popular PewDiePie? was playing "Minecraft" for his huge audience of more than 100 million followers at that point. Dream found a way to re-engineer Kjellberg's "world seed," meaning, the randomly generated world his "Minecraft" game created, using tricks he had learned from forums. The video was viewed by 200,000 viewers within two days. He then made three videos that received more than two million views each. His star was born when Dream had 54,000 subscribers at the time of the end of July.

p>Dream's channel will continue to increase the number of millions and thousands subscribers over the next few months. But the second major breakthrough was in November 2019. Dream produced a number of videos that capitalized upon the trend format "___ but it changes each time." His video titled "Minecraft However, Items Drops are Random and Multiplied ..." went viral and racked up 32 million views and bringing his 600,000 new followers.

/p>

p>Dream would upload frequently throughout the course of the year, steadily gaining hundreds and thousands of subscribers each month, and millions of views. His "Minecraft Speedrunner vs." series, where Dream would choose to finish the game while certain NPCs, or non-player characters, chased after him, or had objectives that needed to be completed were hugely popular. He would also begin collaborating with GeorgeNotFound?, an acquaintance and a future participant on Dream's roleplaying website that he began in May 2020.

p>Dream has been accused of cheating in Minecraft

/p>

p>Dream's channel was at its highest growth in subscribers, with 2.6 million subscribers by August 2020, and Dream becoming the face of the game. He uploaded a speedrun of the 1.14 version of Minecraft in March of 2020 and 1.15 in June, so when version 1.16 version came out later in the year, he was forced to go with it. He was satisfied with the position he achieved on the leaderboard and ended his race in fifth position.

/p>

p>On December 11 of 2020, the moderator of the official speedrun forums Geosquare uploaded an YouTube? video entitled "Did Dream Conceive His Speedruns - Official Moderator Analysis." Geosquare and his co-workers Minecraft moderators had examined the livestreams and concluded that Dream had recorded events that were too statistically unlikely to have occurred without the help of cheaters or mods. The moderators analyzed the 29-page document and concluded that Dream was 1 in 1.75 trillion likely to have discovered the necessary items needed to complete the game.

/p>

p>In a variety of videos and Twitter threads, Dream denied any wrongdoing. Dream posted his video on the 23rd of December in which he discussed the claims. Dream shared a research study that he had done using Photoexcitation. It concluded that there was a 1 in 100 million chance of winning.

/p>

p>Dream's study was dismissed by the speedrunning mods, who then released another five-page report. Dream responded with an official tweet, stating that "this drama has caused stress for most of the Minecraft community and a lot of that was probably due to my initial reaction to the drama, and I take full responsibility for that."

/p>

p>Dream has been subject to harassment, including doxxing

/p>

p>On January 1, 2021, Dream fans found his home with a photo of his kitchen that was posted on his second account and shared the details, a violation of privacy that's called doxxing.

/p>

p>In a Twitlonger on January 7th, Dream addressed the incident as well as his ex-girlfriend, whom believes is spreading false allegations about him. He denied what he said were her allegations, and said that he "doesn't care about YouTube?" and that his friends who appear in his videos don't get an "revenue" cut from his channel.

/p>

p>How Dream masters the YouTube? algorithm

/p>

p>The massive growth of Dream between 2019 and 2020 can be attributed to his understanding of the YouTube? algorithm.

/p>

p>He makes use of keywords in the right places and capitalizes on trends to create thumbnails that viewers will want to click. Similar to the magic that Jimmy Donaldson, known as the hugely popular Mr. Dream has learned how to succeed on YouTube? similar to Beast.
