This is what Minecraft creator Dream looks like, having revealed his face after amassing 30 million YouTube subscribers. It was quite an event.
It certainly opens him up to create a wider range of content, and do things with his friends in real life without the need for secrecy or fear of leaks. Dream revealing his face was, to put it mildly, a big deal for his community and Minecraft as a whole. [YouTube ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtpdMkKvB6U)with 1.2 million people tuning in to catch a glimpse of him. As for Dream and why he decided to do this now, it has to do with one of his friends moving to America, and he’s just tired of being “bunkered up,” he said in the reveal video. One exception to this is the fascinating rise of Vtubing, where players controller virtual avatars synced to their real-life movements standing in for themselves. At a certain point, being hidden for so long with this much build-up has to be exhausting. Though I do not envy being a 23 year old revealing your face to 30 million people after years of build-up and speculation, even if it turns out you are…a perfectly good looking kid. And the most popular of all may be Dream, who up until tonight, had never actually shown his real face to his fans, or even his friends, known only by a simple, iconic smiley face. This is what celebrity is in 2022. Minecraft streamers and YouTubers are kings and queens of their own sprawling ecosystem, and some of the most popular creators on the entire internet. I remember years ago when face reveals were a pretty common thing on YouTube and Twitch before most streamers went live with little boxes of themselves in the corner, but these days if you’re streaming, you’re probably doing it with your own face, albeit it not your own name. Disrespect has 4.1 million.
