Why Dream is (accidentally) Killing His Channel...

This is why Dream is accidentally killing his KZbin channel!
With Dream recently ending Minecraft Manhunt. He has began the new era with Minecraft 100 Floor Survival... After doing intense research, I believe Dream may be unintentionally hurting his channel. This video features Dream's friends GeorgeNotFound, Sapnap, BadBoyHalo, Antfrost and Awesamdude. This Minecraft discussion was super fun!

this might be good, but it's pretty easy to replicate I guess... he doesn't have to get to the end, as well as he gets to beat the wither anywhere, even at the roof of the Nether... edit: maybe this works instead, but this is straight up ganging Dream... "my friends summon the wither to kill me" under the condition of "if I kill the ender dragon, I win..." so it's gonna be the afterstory of manhunt series which fits the branding but marked as a continuation story...

I think there needs to be a healthy balance; manhunts are the bread and butter of his channel; but he needs some more casual content to not feel like he's obligated into doing a specific type of content.

[@sapphire_8567]

Dream's newest video was interesting, but yeah, it does not bring the viewers that intense nervousness. However, although the 'new objective' idea is brilliant, it would just be another manhunt video without the end and with the wither, which is... sorta reviving manhunt. Dream's videos are always the best, and maybe he should take a little break from the stressful manhunt series. Let us await Dream's next big thing.

It's always better to end a series on a good note then dragging it on and it getting shoddy. Manhunt is done for the time being and if your a real fan you'll watch whatever Dream puts out, and just enjoy the fact that Dream puts out quality content.

[@bashali696]

I’m loyal to Dream and will watch him no matter what he posts. Manhunt will never get old and he said he was likely to do it in 6 months or more. If you put yourself in Dream’s shoes he might just want a break from the intensity of manhunt and post different content until he carries it on.

[@drvgo_]

You're right man Idc what he posts atleast it's content ._.

[@gassug2]

> it's always better to end a series on a good note than dragging it on the video quite literally addresses this. manhunt follows somewhat of a formula, but by expanding upon that formula to introduce new goals, objectives, or even gimmicks, the underlying formula is there but the concept changes almost completely. it keeps the general manhunt style going without it getting stale. > if you're a real fan you'll watch whatever dream puts out this is a terrible argument. not only is it gatekeeping, but it also implies that any content made by dream is automatically faultless. i like dream's content a lot, but his content is not infallible (nobody's content is). i do agree with the implicit idea that it is ultimately dream's channel; he can do what he wants. but i do think the manhunt formula has a lot more potential than what we've seen. there's still hitman and survivalist, random item manhunt, and those two barely scratch the surface.

[@JerezIwiski]

@@gassug2 Not gatekeeping you either enjoy Dreams content or you don't it's that simple. Dream puts a lot of thought into his content and is not afraid to try new ideas, always something different in concept but still interesting.Dream won't be letting his fans bully him in having old content back like Skeppy's fans did him. He's also a bit of perfectionist so he isn't gonna put up a video he doesn't like. Manhunt is not gonna be a infinite source of content for Dream to make for he has to find different ways to get ahead of the hunters each time, he can't reuse tricks to much because the hunters will have counters and the audience will eventually start going "you used that trap already". 5 hunters is about Dream's limit he could escape and he'll have one hell of a time keeping a second runner alive when they get put in a tight spot. There's already fans that called some of the hunts lackluster so again it's better to stop before even more people get bored. It's always feels good to end on a happy note than to end on a poor one.

[@JerezIwiski]

@@gassug2 for clarification on the "real Dream fan" my thought process is this, there's people that watch movies/TV series because they are a fan of the concept of the story ie manhunt and there's fans that watch movies/TV series because a certain actor was in it or a certain director was directing it and they watch any work those people do regardless of the story concept this where Dream sits. Dream already knows that he'll lose the manhunt only fans, but he's eager to move onto new content and I'm interested in seeing whatever he does next.

[@kimberlykim4047]

I think the reason why Dream ended manhunt is because every video was just so stressful for him to do, everybody is counting on dream to pull of amazing plays and to win. Dream had to deal with that pressure for years. He's probably out of Ideas for plays, while the hunters on the other hand are growing more intelligent with every manhunt. He was tired of having the pressure and stress on him so he is doing more relaxing videos now. I think he'll bring back manhunt but only when the hunters are weaker and he has new Ideas.

[@MOMKUNG999]

i understand his stress

[@tealmacaroon5876]

I can guarantee everything you said in this video Dream already knows. He got huge because he studied the YT algorithm. He knows his platform unbelievably well. He stopped doing manhunts for a reason. He most likely got tired of having to take many months juts to post a video. He knows what he’s doing with his platform. He’s been doing almost exclusively manhunt for over a year. That’s a long time doing the same thing. He wants to have fun and put out more content and manhunts juts weren’t the best way to do that so he took a break despite how much everyone loves it.

[@LypheXx]

This video needs to be recognized more. What you said in the beginning was exactly what i have thought of. His last video’s style is extremely different from the previous videos that made him stand out from other creators, that made his content so watchable and difficult to click off. It is really best for him to find something similar to his old video style otherwise what you said would happen would indeed have an extremely high probability of happening.

[@propelledpingu]

I think Dream is doing what TommyInnit did, he's no longer focused on the views. Tommy was doing 10-20 Million views on every video, but now he's struggling to get 3 Million a video, if Tommy was trying to get views he'd be doing DreamSMP and the mod videos, nothing else, but instead, he's doing larger group videos which get significantly less views. Tommy isn't stupid, he obviously knows that these videos are performing poorly in comparison, but he clearly doesn't care. Now this is just speculation but I think that Tommy got sick of doing DreamSMP and mod videos since that's all he did, they were not scripted but I do think that it was a lot of forced humor and laughter to keep the video going, but now he's doing videos that aren't at all scripted and it's just genuine enjoyment, which I feel like would be much more fun to record, but a lot less fun to watch. Whether Tommy is doing 2 million views a video or 20 million, he's still very rich and successful, and most importantly, he's enjoying making the videos, and if he started disliking making videos it would show in the quality of the video. I think Dream is going to go down the same path, he's already rich and famous so he's going to get rid of that persona of him being some amazing out of this world player who gets 40 Million views a video because of his insane plays, and start just making fun videos with his friends that get a few million views.

[@BorchikYes]

Yeah i think dream has the financial security to do that.

[@Dhruv45124]

People used to watch him because he used to make very unique videos, but as time went by more and more people started to make such content, so dream failed to gain more popularity because it didn't have something unique,it was just like a normal challange different than what he used to upload where the video was intense... So i think that's why this video didn't blow up

[@Duckyosis]

Why does this comment only have 7 likes and no replies

[@opinionatedman]

Putting myself in Dreams shoes for a second. Manhunt started out fun, then the difficulty kept ramping up. All the plays and creativity has been put in. I'm sure he might have an odd trick or two he couldn't use yet, but he's done most everything. In the beginning he has to get away or they start over. We don't get to see how many times they "start over" so they have a good video. Not only is the manhunt long, but they could be spending a lot of time starting over. I believe he said in one of the last videos more often than not the get him in the beginning. If the fun is taken out of it, either for the hunters, the hunted, or both and the only thing they have left now is to go to 6 hunters I can understand the break. I'd certainly like to see more manhunt, but only if that is the content they enjoy producing. I don't want it to be like a TV show that should have ended 4 seasons ago but just exists because fans want it to. I like the hitmen/assassin videos. The goofy videos of t-shirts, marshmallows, bees, etc I don't care a whole lot for. I think Dream has avoided the wither as getting the skulls is grindy and repetitive, makes hard to keep lot of footage interesting. Maybe a one off special, but a whole series of it I don't think would interest him. All in all his channel will surely suffer from no manhunt. That is iconic for him. I don't mind a rebranding, but if the similar goofy stuff I don't get excited to watch from the dream team becomes dream's new main content I'll likely not be watching.

[@masonwallace5495]

I think getting wither skulls could be repetitive the thing is it will take a while to get it and the hunters would find him multiple times in the nether so it would be a manhunt chase through the nether a whole lot and would be interesting.

[@Nugcon]

As a Dream enjoyer way before he even posted his first manhunt I could tell the appeal of his channel is his personality along with the people he plays with (there's a reason Dream stans exist like them or not). I enjoy his non-manhunt videos as much as his Manhunt ones, for different reasons but still find them having the same entertainment value nonetheless. So I was surprised with seeing this "ONLY MANHUNT, NOTHING ELSE!!" sentiment. Ok, perhaps his appeal shifted from "Guy you watch mess around with his friends in Minecraft" to something akin to a professional athlete. What's wrong with experimenting? Yes, Manhunt is great but it will get stale eventually (which will also kill his channel btw). Plus, every time he does a manhunt he has to find a way to one-up the previous one or it gets repetitive, this makes it so videos get progressively harder to record, which is bad for productivity, not to mention the effect on the guy's mental well-being. And yes, the new video isn't perfect, but it's a step in the right direction, it gets to show off Dream's skills AND his personality at the same time (something Manhunt doesn't do as well). Also it's not like Dream's gonna do 100 floor survival over and over for the next two years just like he did with Manhunt, obviously. He's gonna do one-off videos until he finds something that turns out to be a banger. Dream's a smart dude, he probably calculated the effects of him dropping his best performing series. He probably has a good reason for this, whether it's foreseeing the eventual decline of Manhunt, he himself getting bored with it, or god forbid, he wants to branch out his content.

[@bigfudge2031]

A lot of people in this comment section are very entitled. What he does is his choice, if he doesn't want to make them, he shouldn't have to and if he did make them against his will, they would be half-hearted and just wouldn't be as good.

From Dreams perspective he may already have everything he would want, I’m sure he makes bank no matter what he puts out. But I agree strongly. I think he should continue all of the other side videos like hitmen and death swap to keep up the intense style. And who knows, maybe after a lot of intense grinding Dream just wanted a one-vid break from the intensity.

[@haberkonium]

I would love if he revisited some of the old survival video challenges that they (the Dream Team) failed to complete in the past. Things like the 'But It's Raining Lava' challenge, the 'Zombie Apocalypse' or 'Floor Is Lava' challenges.

i personally was a huge fan of the manhunt videos, but i also really liked the 100 floor survival.

Besides it's been years and i think another thing that's really similar to manhunt would really become boring over time, we need something actually new and the 100 floor survival gave us just that. The only reason it didn't do as well is because people are mad that he stopped the manhunts, not because the video isn't as good

[@Orion1540]

Let’s not forget this is Dream we’re talking about…his momentum might have dropped but he looks at youtube the same way Mr. Beast does. He only uploads experimental content and is constantly looking for “bangers”. The reason being if the content is good the views will follow even when it’s not immediate. Sticking to one kind of video may seem to work for a while but it actually has the opposite effect it breeds boringness and dies with time, which is why content creators tend to mix other content with their “trending” content. You don’t want a viewer to expect only one thing from you or else it’s easier for them to let go of your content. I think the fact some people have mentioned his manhunt video’s are repetitive are already early signs of boredom which is why he had to find something else. I think Dream’s channel is far from “dying”, it’s simply back to it’s experimental phase and once he finds a new crowd favourite it’ll show increased views again. I think it wont be as fast as before because covid really expedited a the view potential of your videos last year but if it’s a banger it’ll keep getting views even far in the future.

[@blazevoptixzz9748]

I couldn't agree more. I occasionally watch his fun videos but I always watched the manhunts instantly. He could even just take a year break and come back with a banger.

[@badpiggies988]

Indeed, given the toll that twitter (being twitter) is currently taking on his mental health and I can tell, I’d say a break would definitely be good for him

[@visiblydyslexic3736]

Yes, if he decides that he want to do a series of this he will most likely kill his channel. But what i believe what will happen is he will post less interesting content, then will post a banger that reaches alot of people. Yes, reach does get cut short depending on who the most recent got to, but a video blowing up, especially by dream, will most likely reach alot of people. His new content is very very boring and very few times were considered "intense" meaning for him to be able to stay on the top of the minecraft community as he is now, he needs to stay in what his brand is themed around. Like you had stated, it is his intense and amazing minecraft plays. I originally saw your title and thought "dream anti's say anything" but after watching i completely agree with what you are saying in this video. He could potentially make another alt account based around more calmed down videos where people who prefer those types of videos can watch them, and people who aren't very big on them dont really bother with it.

One of the things I loved about Dream's Manhunts was the fact that they were essentially Vanilla run. When you see most Manhunt videos done by other streamers, they're almost always using some sort of hacked mechanic, whether it's random items that make it insane, or some OP ability or another that pretty much renders the whole point moot. With it being done in Vanilla, it levels the viewer's playing field, so just about anyone can watch the video and keep up with it. It also has extra tension, since we no that the only saves have to come off of Dream's own skill at Minecraft. It was also awesome to see how far the rest of the guys came along skill-wise trying to catch and kill Dream, advancing their tactics with each round.

[@sofaifish2528]

Hi! Dream addressed this in his podcast from yesterday (yes, I know since then there have been many controversies, but I'm not going to go into much detail about that.) He said that he wanted to end minecraft manhunt on a "good note" - in such a way that mc manhunt will have what he (I believe) described as a "legacy" or it will live on in everyone's memories. I believe that if he were to bring manhunt back again in the future (which he actually did mention in the podcast), it will be the type of thing everyone will get excited for again. Dream didn't want to "drag out" manhunt, because I guess he just wanted to end it on a bang. I think that the high intensity type videos/ content Dream makes is what makes him different from a lot of CC's. The adrenaline you feel when watching manhunt, hit man etc is what gives Dream's content a thrill. My opinion on the newest video (the 100 floors video) is that there were definitely flaws (and again, Dream did point that out in the podcast), I just feel like survival/ "action & adventure" content is what Dream is made for. Obviously there's going to many more projects in the future, so I'm just excited to see what he comes up with. :]]

[@adalon378]

Ofc we understand that a series can be worn out, but the issue is what else is coming? His new elevator video is very weak even for promoting work from coders, which have been topic of many many other yt videos, I think none was as uninteresting as Dream's. They were in a single grey huge room (the lift) and mobs enter on a timer. What I don't understand is what's coming next? Dream has said recently that he has nothing planned and even more recently that he just wants to play with friends and hang out on twitter. On the other hand fans don't seem to believe him when says it, but they believe him suggesting any type of plans, despite being nothing concrete or being prepared or even all that likely to happen given his record. I truly hope these most faithful fans would wake up bc they could pressure him. I strongly believe that things got to this points because Dream is heavily enabled by too many people, being himself not a very driven and consistent person, whatsoever. At the moment, I don't imagine a 180 turn for Dream any time soon if ever. And that's frustrating and it sucks... (at least for fans that did try to say something and were crushed by stans in a heartbeat).

[@sofaifish2528]

@@adalon378 Yes, "what is going to be the new manhunt" is a good question. But obvious content creator's have their own peaks in their careers. So, Dream's "peak" was probably around 2020-2021 CC's can't expect to keep up their audiences/ keep their growth going forever.

Dream has long since known that his manhunt videos gain more attention than those who are not. So I think he knows what he's doing. And ye, I think a part of that would be the incoming face reveal, irl manhunt. I think he's doing chill videos till George's visa gets approved and finally goes to Florida and do the irl manhunt. After that I think it'd be hard to find something that would top manhunt, but I do hope he finds one. And ye, he said in his podcast earlier that the 100 elevator wouldn't be his new series. He also said Karl and George kissed HAUHAUAHAUHAUAHA. I believe that it might've happened, I still believe it. But a small part of me thinks he's doing it so the attention doesn't wander away from them. But then again when he does chill videos like these, they don't really gain as much as the manhunt ones, so aside from the fact that this is his first video after manhunt ended, the views it has are common.

[@picturemebliss]

Thank you for what you said at the end about creator burnout. This is very likely a reason Dream ended the manhunt series. The stakes were getting so high and so much more time and effort was having to be put into making these videos, that it likely got to a point where Dream experienced burnout or realized he couldn't easily move the manhunt forward. Along with this it's important that a creator is loving what they are doing, otherwise they will dread what they are doing and have a harder time making content. I'm not sure if reach really does work as you say, but I think another factor is titles and thumbnails. The reason the manhunt videos got so many views is because of they're so recognizable. Any casual viewer will see the familiar thumbnail and then proceed to read the title and click on the video. It's not that dreams newest video was bad, but rather it wasn't as clickable. It was still a great video however and I personally enjoyed it. And if Dream enjoyed making it and it helped his creative drive then it was a success even if the views don't reflect that. It's important for creators to be able to experiment as well to see what does well and what doesn't, and sometimes you just have to put a video out there to see.

[@Bossnak]

That is a very cool video but I think that Dream is just taking a break to have that “king is back” vibe after few months of silence in major uploads. He has some good stuff planned for us. He just waits for ppl to miss him. But he shouldnt wait that long or else he will start to fade away just like u said.

He can’t create manhunt videos forever. His channel was on hype, but this hype can’t continue forever. Manhunt videos were great, but now there is nothing new Dream can show to us in this kind of videos. It is the end. No more manhunts.

[@shreyasmodgil2426]

I am personally a die heart fan on Dream. but seeing this brilliant beautiful channel and creator demnish will actually be really really heart breaking moment for everyone. #bringbackmanhunt

[@shreyasmodgil2426]

@@etikle7012 yes I do agree but KZbin is the platform when public has the choice who to make first or last. It's absolutely hie decision and we are respecting that but the decline in views might make him leave youtube one day Btw I'm a dream stan as mentioned above. I too love him

[@js_musicmedia8981]

I think the first hitmen video was not only a big success, but was also imo Dream's best and most intense video. The second one hurt because the way the rules changed made it far less intense and captivating. I'd love to see more hitman videos that follow the style of the first

[@isaacgafford9413]

I feel like that video should be on his main channel. It's just too good to be on his other channels. Besides he brought back the fun in videos before he started doing manhunts

[@WanXiAnimations]

Man, I've actually been thinking about this recently. I was saddened when I heard that Dream had decided to end the series. Throughout all my times watching KZbin videos, Dream's Manhunt episodes have been by far the most entertaining to me. I've never been anywhere near as hyped for a KZbin premiere other than Dream's Manhunts. It was unlike any other gameplay content, with all the epic action and intensity combined with the cinematic and dramatic music all put together so perfectly, it keeps the audience engaged. I totally agree with everything you said in this video and am hopeful for the return of Manhunt styled content

[@MossPickle56]

I think something to consider here is that with 1.19 coming up and rumours of a new dimension, if/when it was released that Dream had some kind of challenge to defeat, wether it be killing the warden once 1.19 is released or travelling to this new dimension if added, because as an ex-dream stan myself, I feel that kind of content would be amazing. Because he could (and again this goes back to the videos point) of a new objective/goal and inside this video just think, he could cram plays that nobody can repeat and he could conquer the place and home where a boss that is both stronger than the Ender Dragon or the Wither is.

[@user-cx9un9fs7q]

7:48 There is not a single movie I’ve seen in my life that in the long term is as legendary as Dreams content.

[@selfw2600]

Dream isn't considering why people watch his content. They don't watch his content for the general personality (which is what he's doing), they watch It for the intense moments and extreme clutches. He needs to realise this and make content more like it.

[@kienthanhle6230]

14 years old dream stans would like to disagree.

[@larry702]

I think it comes down to his manhunts being basically normal vanilla featuring insane plays which people feel like they can do and admire, whereas the new video is just some plugin with no cool plays or anything relatable, it's basically just an adventure map people have done for YEARS

[@mandeepjoon5374]

If manhunt doesn't return I would still love to see death swap return

[@CivetKittyMC]

I totally agree with Purple suggesting that Dream should continue on with the manhunt style of content as the elevetor video seamed very monotonous. The same could be said for the hitman series, yet the difference here iss that Dream can use his expert skills to solve samingly impossible goals. The elevator on the other hand, was just an empty box with no terrain or special resources to make his plays creative and unexpected. All he did was kill mobs and help his friends. However, on the topic of goals with a story, we're in a dilemma. There is no other goal that requires multiple sceneries than defeating the Ender Dragon. Defeating the dragon requires you to gather resources in the overworld, go to the bastion for pearls, conquer the fortress for blaze rods, and then reach the stronghold to enter the end. However, the wither boss only requires the fortress, where RNG dictates how much time will it take to get all 3 skulls. It'll end up becoming the old manhunt with 60% of the video being staged in the fortress. As for the other alternatives, the monument isn't really a boss room as you can just break in with a sand block and tnt and then circle around the pole with a door and wooden sword. The raid happens purelyt in the overworld, and finding an outpost on a blind seed is very RNG dependant and tedious. The Woodland mansion is just an extended version of the eye of ender following, and the warden might be too strong even for Dream.

[@lumo5515]

Changing the goal wouldn't make it different from manhunt it would just be the same thing, survive and reach the objective. It's the repetitiveness of his videos that is killing his channel which is why he is changing it up although the ideas he has been coming up with doesn't live up with manhunt. He needs something new that isn't just going to be a copy paste with a little difference. He can use some of the mechanics from manhunt but he can't make it too similar to the og manhunt. He just ended it after all and doing something like you said would just basically be a 2.0 or a season 2 of the series

[@thedominator1832]

You are right but he really does need a break right?

[@Firefly256]

Maybe instead of a speedrunner vs hunter, we could have hunter vs hunter? You kill the other hunter 3 times to win, still opens possibility to lure the other hunter into traps, do clutch escapes, etc.

[@MysticalisHere]

Don't get me wrong, you're right, but you gotta remember that Dream makes all of his videos because he finds it fun. The point of minecraft is fun, after all. Don't get me wrong, he cares about his fanbase very much, but at the end of the day he really isn't the type of guy to really LISTEN to us 100% of the time when he decides to drop a vid. He may bring back the hunters series, or just intense videos in general. But he might wanna tone it back a little, because he wants to have FUN while playing, not being stressed while recording. If he kills his channel and if he cares is truly up to him. But I like this video because it informs us on how things could be going down, and you even gave some recommendations. I like that too. You get a thumbs up! :D

[@person12233]

he said he would rather end the series now than when it’s completely dead and honestly i think that’s smart and i think it’s good he’s taking a break from it so then when he starts making these intense type videos again his channel will start doing amazing again

[@Evan12939]

i wish dream saw this these are some amazing ideas and dont get me wrong i love dreams vids there awesome

[@camdawg1012]

I agree with all the points you made in this video. I always wondered why his later 5 hunters videos didn’t perform as well. Very well done video👍🏻

[@Jesus_cross999]

Actually that in his 5 hunters grand finale video, dream say that he might consider doing 6 hunters at the opening part

[@exddertv]

if he did manhunts with hunter povs or manhunts where he hunts down the 5 of his buddys he could get a lot of views while maintaining the epicness of his manhunts

[@Diamond-pv3bp]

He did that already in his 5 hunters grand finale few times like at the end

[@bassiliks]

This is really informative, not just about dreams yt but also about the topic of what to be prepeared for in the future when your main thing gets oversaturated.

[@mattvos7171]

Imagine modded manhunts for Dream...I don't think anything would hype me up more than that. But I honestly respect his path of more chilled-down videos, so I'm up for whatever he makes from this point on.

[@Chelseafan3144]

He should have to find an item in a certain amount of time with 6 friends hunting

[@astraldreame]

see the thing is, yes i enjoyed the new video, but it just doesnt have the same feel to it. ill probably still watch his new videos, yes, but the ones that ill go back to rewatch time and time again are gonna be the manhunts each and every time. the rewatchability of manhunts makes them so much better than videos like the 100 floor survival videos. i think even bringing back the old minecraft unsolved videos would be better for his channel than a new style both from a money and viewer perspective sorry if i repeated anything you mentioned in the video, i wrote this while the video was playing in the background and havent finished it yet.

[@Animallover24678]

i mean.. yeah bring back manhunt

[@skylark.k]

vouch

[@notdreppyalt]

Styled videos

[@GokuDoku4]

The idea I had for the 6 hunters was that, Dream could get like some kind of helper or indeed another speedrunner. And at the same time two groups (3 hunters each) will be focused on both the speedrunners whilst they try beating minecraft. But I again had a thought it would be executed as well since Dream is the only center of attention and it would be even more confusing when the perspectives are changed time to time from Dream to another speedrunner.

[@letranky8a109]

wither hunter vs hunter will be so hard due to the insane wither skull drop chance

[@bigfudge2031]

They could just mod the game to make the drop rate slightly higher Dream already knows how to program that 😅

[@letranky8a109]

@@bigfudge2031 lol

[@Rachelikestea]

I’m just glad that dream can take a break. He must spend hours training for manhunts and I’m not sure if he fully wanted to do that. He started off doing fun challenges with his friends, and would always switch things up, making Minecraft But videos and Minecraft Block Shuffles and such. The 100 Floor challenge really excited me for he can experiment with game modes again, and show us really cool new things. Also, death swaps and shuffles give roughly the same about of views, so it is possible he is fine to branch out away from manhunt. I also believe that the reason he is the top manhunt channel is not because he is the best, but he always tries something new in terms of ideas and his editing. Channels like NotVixious are better than him and do more insane clutches, but that doesn’t fully matter. Dreams editing is polished to the point where you can feel his emotions and simple clutches and moments feel more intense. There is also a lot of other factors to bring in, like how it’s fun to watch him interact with his friends. But with all of this combined, it would really bind him if he stayed as “a manhunt channel” forever, and there are lots of more things he can do in minecraft.

[@amprocowharkermanface]

i think dream should try doing manhunts in some kinds of modpacks that aren't too "crazy" and similar to each other such as better minecraft and some others. problem is, better minecraft implements new features and many stuff dream doesnt know about and would take a long time for him to get use too (why if he was to make a series, make it with similar modpacks. This also makes it more confusing for the viewers to watch and some can be modpacks dissapointing or go too far. like how in better minecraft, its really easy to die at the start and too easy to get some good loot (diamonds and gaps), which makes viewers who havent played the modpack think that dream would be stuck with the same stuff or have the best stuff fast (which can be boring in the long run, especially how hard it is to get netherite even with op modpacks).

[@novaaaaa3916]

Purple: Fun, *Realxing, Minecraft Challange* Also purple: *Shows a clip of sapnap surrounded by bees*

[@ayushmane4644]

now that is a really good idea for a video, dream can use this concept…. i hope he get this idea and post more videos! the reason he stopped was he was so tired to handle the tension of the manhunt, he has to get al the materials to kill the dragon plus to save himself from the hunters. he just wanted to end the series of manhunt, i think.

[@desempleado655]

You have a good point dude and your conclusions are right, but probably Dream is doing this cause he is tired of making that type of challenges that require 100% of his abilities, playing competitive and very focus. Probably this is affecting Dreams mental health and stressing him sometimes, because clearly he makes a lot of effort creating this type of content that can take probably lots of hours.Probably he just want to be a normal minecraft youtuber as he was before and have fun. Its just an idea but anyways very good job :)

[@KitKatHatesKids]

Maybe he can mashup his manhunts with his challenge videos, like Minecraft Manhunt X Zombie Apocalypse, or something like that, maybe he can have a modded manhunt series?

[@itsrainbowsteveplays]

Another thing he can do to continue the series is make it easier on himself. For example, he can remove the rule of him not being able to fast travel using nether portals, or maybe he could nerf the compass.

[@LygarZeroX]

I think taking a break from manhunt is necessary. At least until the new update is fully out. Without new exploits and tricks to abuse, it may be impossible to beat the game with more hunters in the mix if the hunters are really good. They are too used to his tricks and he can't get away from them anymore. Doing something else is necessary. In the meantime, I have been watching 'Manhunt, But there is a twist' videos where the runners add a secret mod for fun to showcase a mod and do a manhunt.

[@StarYTTT]

I wouldn’t worry too much Dream is a businessman and we know that he is smart he knows this. He also says that the Dream team channel will be uploading weekly challenges videos. He wants to take a different approach The 100 floor survival was a decent video but it’s just not up to dream’s standard we either will get vlogs video or other videos he got plans cuz he says he got plans for everything so maybe he expected this to not do the best and had a backup plan? He’s also a really KZbin mastermind so I’m confident he would be able to get another series everybody likes but more manhunt styles could work but if we know Dream we know that he’ll try new things but PvP still will be included other mini games maybe like huge battles or wars with lots of ppl like Mrbeast type videos or maybe more like Mrbeast gaming videos. Even if his plan is not manhunt style I’m sure it wouldn’t go bad Dream Minecraft but everything is pitched black whenever nobody saw anything got over to 20 million views. I’m also quite confident the next one would be the fanhunt so that can build more momentum. Or maybe he’s not taking YT as seriously anymore since he’s already big and idk if he has any plans to go beyond that on his main channel.

[@Diamond-pv3bp]

I think that too if he uploads fanhunt then his channel is literally dead

[@crimsonravenx4484]

honestly, dream can do whatever he wants, him fading away doesnt scare me that much, meaning he wont be the center of attention and haters, etc will die down. ofc i do love his manhunt series and all that. but i dont care too much, as long as he's happy with it im happy

[@mytinsaw]

A Manhunt Matchup video would be cool, considering he hasn't done one since his first and only, he should try capitalizing on that. Seeing him go against someone like Couriway could also help Couriway gain more viewers, because he's having the same problem at the moment uploading Hardcore Minecraft videos along with his 100 Hardcore Speedruns in a row challenge. Watch Couriway btw, his content is amazing.

[@jordanski6828]

Dream always says how huge of a factor it is in manhunt that nobody can see his health and that's obvious with how often he gets away on one heart or less, so I've always wondered how a "Manhunt, but we can see each others health" video would turn out. I've also always wished to see a manhunt where the roles are reversed and Dream has to hunt down multiple runners alone.

[@Yengozi]

That’s extremely difficult

[@dreadless2009]

I don't think that all advancements would work since the world record for all advancements is around 15 hours

[@Phoenix.Sparkles]

It may turn out badly for the channel, but the man needs a break and so does the manhunt series. Obviously Dream is known for manhunt, but he cant keep adding hunters and expect the outcome to be realistic.

[@jatinbhati4040]

He can start a block/item hunt in which he can speedrun for a certain block/item while hunters hunt for him. There are More than 300 blocks and items in minecraft

[@Xode_25]

Wither would be cool but I would LOVE to see hitman come back the first hitman video was amazing it was like manhunt but dream was being attacked 24/7 he never had any downtime he was stuck with next to no resources and the hunters slowly looting more and more blacksmiths and other structures

[@thetyranoraptor3893]

Idk if this idea is good. But I think he should do a minecraft Warden hunt trying to kill the most powerful mob whilst being chased by the hunters. It would be intense. I thought of this idea to do on my channel for fun but unfortunately I didn't have a good internet to play multiplayer. But Dream can do it right???

[@bananaguyalive5901]

I feel like as more and more hunters got added, he stopped making traps and began doing trick plays.

[@PotatoeMaster02]

Maybe dream could do a manhunt but with the objective of defeating the warden rather than the ender dragon

[@sebastianarchangelestrada4152]

he should do minecraft manhunt but there is 1 kind of block or thing they cannot use even the hunters

[@vortexgaming1205]

Even modded manhunt with 3 hunters would be cool!

[@FroggyDudeMC]

Everything in this video is said perfectly. Dream should really bring back another intense minecraft series similar to manhunt. The 100 floor survival was a bit random and didn't match his branding, as you said. Honestly this "new era" of his content just simply won't reach the algorithm like manhunt. It most likely won't even come close. But yeah bro I agree with everything you said. Dream SEROUSLY needs to watch this vid. @Dream

[@PowShadowPSH]

Dreams final manhunt released 1 month before the 100 floors vid. He gained 500k subs since then. Around 16k/ day on avg.

[@ThatGuyXD]

I felt the same about Dream's latest upload. It was totally different than his usual type of content. But that doesn't mean I hated it, but I was really hoping the new upload to be a Minecraft challenge video. Nice video though!

[@necroblight204]

To be honest Dream should start doing Kier and Dev style manhunts with a 'twist'

[@basantalamichhane1937]

I can agree with ur thoughts but I feel like dream just wants to make his vids like he used to ( funny and JUST FUNNY with some plays) and ig it won't match his present channel statistics so he should move out from it and make vids like u told earlier(wither hunt or advancement completing) challenges but anyways I did love his 100 floor survival and it was fun

[@doritosking_]

Minecraft Advancer vs 3 hitmen sounds awesome. (Has to get all the advancements so advancer)

[@mohammadmahdi1223]

Here's some things he should do: He is the only hunter and he has to hunt all the hunters, it should progress higher like the normal manhunt He has to complete all advancements Find an end city before he gets hunted Use a random biome generator and he has to get to that biome before he gets hunted down

[@archipies2553]

Dream should continue the minecraft random items vs hunters challenge

[@jessedoesboxing]

i was thinking everything you said in this video. really well put together well done purple

[@okobox9999]

I think he should do both but upload way more frequently so when people see a video and see another one, they will think "Oh, it's this guy !I should check more of his content"

[@sarthakvarma9526]

I think he should try Manhunt but the hunters change every 10 minutes or, he gets teleported to a different biome every minute
