Why is Dream so famous?
A quick look at Dream’s social media accounts would have you wondering: how and why is this guy so famous?! In case you weren’t aware, Minecraft is actually pretty big on streaming platforms like YouTube. So even though Dream literally started his career three years ago, he now has over 30.6 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.
The face reveal has Dream’s numbers going nowhere but up
Dream was already popular way before he took his mask off. Although he isn’t as big as creators like Mr. Beast, there seem to be no signs of Dream stopping anytime soon. This was actually proven to be true when Dream finally uploaded his face reveal video on his YouTube channel.
- As of writing, 26 million netizens have already watched Dream’s YouTube video of him taking his mask off
- He also became one of Twitter’s top trending topics as the Internet reacted to the content creator finally revealing himself

Clay (AKA Dream) is here to stay
For casual netizens and those who aren’t a fan of Dream, you may wonder why the content creator decided to reveal his identity in the first place. The entire reason why Clay AKA Dream took his mask off is that he wants to take content creation more seriously.
Now that GeorgeNotFound, another YouTuber and Dream’s best friend, has been able to secure a U.S. visa, Dream feels like it’s time to step up his videos. The pair of best friends want to collaborate on videos once GeorgeNotFound successfully moves to the United States. For Dream, these videos would be better made if he didn’t have to hide his identity behind the famous smiley face mask.
He’s still keeping the mask, though
Clay is best known for the smiley face mask he keeps wearing in his streams and videos. Now that people know what he looks like, some may wonder if this means a new era for the content creator.
At the moment, Clay doesn’t have any plans on retiring his iconic mask. It looks like the content creator would only take the mask off for collaboration videos. As for his Minecraft videos and streams, fans can still expect to see Clay wearing the smiley face mask.
The Minecraft community is growing bigger on a daily basis. Because of content creators like Clay, we can expect the game to continue being one of the top-streamed games on platforms like YouTube.
