The video was posted this morning and begins with an image of a person standing behind a sign bearing Dream’s cartoon face logo. The person behind the sign (who many believe to be Dream) moves their hand around. At the end of the video, a title card appears bearing the words “Mr BeastYouTube Rewind,” followed by “4pm EST January 1st.” It’s never made clear if the person behind the sign is actually Dream, but the nine-second video was enough to send Dream fans into a craze.
As for the title card, it references two things:YouTube Rewind, an annual video by YouTube featuring clips from the most popular content creators on the site, and Mr Beast, who will be doing his own YouTube Rewind video after YouTube announced it would not be doing one in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dream fans are happy to finally be seeing a glimpse of what could be their beloved content creator in the flesh.
However, not everyone is pleased that “he’s real” is a trending topic on Twitter. For every fan excited about Dream’s video there is another lambasting the YouTuber’s followers. Dream isn’t completely free of controversy, as one of hisMinecraftspeedruns was recently investigated by the speedrunning moderation team, which accused him ofcheating by manipulating RNG to improve his time.
Dream responded to the cheating accusationsby claiming innocence using the help of a researcher, but his reputation has taken a blow. Regardless of his innocence or guilt, it’s clear that many feel the discussion on whether Dream actually exists is an inane topic to be trending on Twitter at the end of such a difficult year. Anyone curious about the promoted video will have to wait and see ifDreamwill reveal his face as part of Mr Beast’s YouTube Rewind on January 1.
