The insanely popular Minecraft YouTuber Dream is back in the hot seat once again. His return from hiatus began with the content creator admitting that his world record speedrun attempt wasn’t legitimate. That drew tons of criticism from the community, as many felt that Dream could have easily put things to rest back in December. Now, the Minecraft streamer is seeing criticism once more after supposedly reneging on a promise. In a tweet, Dream stated that any money from subs, donations, bits, or otherwise from steaming in June would go to LGBTQ charity the Trevor Project.

Many Twitter users were in disbelief, but looking at Dream’s Twitch channel tells an entirely different story. Apparently, Dream hadn’t streamed at all during the month of June, as his channel shows that his last streamed date was May 31, 2021. Some saw it as a way for the YouTuber to avoid responsibility, though others felt that he likely just forgot. To be fair, the month of June also started off with a lot of attention on Dream. A few controversial tweets from his past were brought to light by political streamer Hasan Piker. The situation ended amicably, though it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that the additional spotlight pushed the streamer to keep a low profile.

What made the situation look worse was that, once the Twitter and Reddit threads gained traction, Dream went live to hold a charity Q&A. The move appeared to cast the Minecrafter in an even less desirable light, as it seemed that he was attempting to perform damage control. Many of Dream’s LGBTQ fans were initially furious, as it would seem that Dream more or less didn’t value Pride Month nor fulfilling the promise that he made.

On the other hand, some fans noted that Dream hardly streams in the first place. Looking at his previous months in streaming, Dream routinely streamed less than 1 or 2 times a month. Then, there was also the fact that Dream noted that any money during the month of June would go to the Trevor Project. This wasn’t only limited to streams on Twitch, as the content creator also made money from Twitter and Discord podcasts, and technically, Dream also streamed using an alt account.

With $20,000 in subs, $60,000 in donations, and over $10,000 in ads from streaming, that totaled up to $90,000. On top of that, Dream and his personal team added a promised contribution of $50,000, coming up to $140,000 altogether. Some thought that the timing was a little convenient, though it’s hard to deny that the Minecraft streamer was quite generous with the amount he gave.

It’s anyone’s guess as to why Dream didn’t put in any effort to streaming more often. However, the fact is he still fulfilled his promise. After all of this, the one thing made clear is that Dream likely didn’t have any purposefully ill intentions by choosing not to stream.
