#Dream minecraft series

The total view count just for the series is comfortably over 1B at this point, and the strength of the brand is clear by the fact that multiple Manhunts have outperformed “celeb” versions, like the video featuring Mr Beast himself, which has 39M views. By comparison, pewdiepie’s highest rated gameplay video is the first episode of his Minecraft playthrough, which sits at 51M views, although that pales in comparison with the Swede’s most popular video of any type, the 330M behemoth that is ‘Bitch Lasagna’. The lowest number of views for a Manhunt video is 14M ( for the first ever video ) and the highest is his Grand Finale vs. If we limit ourselves to just Manhunt videos - by which we mean a video where Dream and at least one of the “Dream Team” of GeorgeNotFound, Sapnap, BabBoyHalo, AntFrost and Awesamdude features - the numbers get even crazier, with 981M views on the series at the time of writing. That averages to 22M views per video for Dream and “only” 6.3M views per video for pewdiepie. However, pewdiepie’s stats come from over 4,400 videos to this point, compared to Dream’s 109 on his first channel. Pewdiepie has already passed 100M subs and 28B views in his time on YouTube. If Dream keeps that same pace, he’d have 12.5B views and 140M subs by his tenth year.Ĭompared to the most subbed-to single channel - pewdiepie’s - it initially doesn’t look great. Adjusting for period and trend, Dream’s numbers get him ahead of Mr Beat’s pace in terms of subs, but slightly behind in terms of views per year.

Mr Beast, one of the biggest names on the platform, has an incredible 15B views on his channel, and is nearing the 100M sub mark (at 91M currently), but has been uploading videos five times as long as Dream, his first one dating a decade ago to February 2012. It’s hard to get an idea of what this means in isolation though, so let’s see how it compares to other creators at the top of the YouTube food chain. That has so far left him with 28.9m subscribers, which is somewhat surprising given he is well known for his call to action at the start of each video. Over the course of the two years since that was made, his channel has managed to attract nearly 2.5B views and counting.

Dream’s YouTube stats are crazyĭespite having started his channel in 2014, the first video on Dream’s channel is a cursed Minecraft offering, published July 2019. Then we can compare him to other YouTube stars, and see how his success with Manhunt stacks up against the biggest names on the platform. So let’s look at the numbers behind the series, and try to put them in some kind of context to get an idea of how Dream has gone from a small YouTuber to one of the stars of the internet. What anyone who knows Dream does know though, is that his fame comes in no small part from Manhunt, a series largely of his own creation that has made millionaires of his friends and garnered hundreds of millions of views. Thanks to his friends, we know his first name is Clay, but the combined efforts of millions of fans have turned up little else about the person behind the iconic avatar. But if it’s YouTube and Minecraft we’re discussing, one name stands out, and that name is Dream.Īt the time of writing, the moniker Dream is almost all we have on the Floridian that has taken YouTube by storm. Folk like the Hermitcraft crew, Technoblade, Mr Beast, and even pewdiepie have all played a part in the revival of the blocky classic.

The growth of Minecraft over the past few years has been nothing short of phenomenal, and much of that success is owed to the creators that have brought the game back into the public eye.
