A TikTok content creator recently shared a video on their channel that shows a 20-foot cutout image of Minecraft YouTuber Dream. For nearly eight years, the YouTube personality had kept his face hidden and so it was a very big deal to many fans when, at the end of September, Dream announced that he would reveal his face soon.

Millions of people, fans and otherwise, have posted about the event on Twitter, made videos about the video, and streamed their reactions live on Twitch. So it’s not surprising that some have gone even further to show their excitement. Dream's face reveal attracted a huge audience, with over 1.5 million people tuning in to watch the premiere on YouTube on October 2. Now, less than two weeks later, the video has attracted 39 million views and the reveal will likely be a noteworthy moment in the platform’s history for years to come.

The day after the face reveal, TikTok content creator Tobyn Jacobs posted a video that showed a 20-foot tall cutout of Dream that they had made. The giant image almost touches the ceiling and was put together using approximately 218 printed pages glued onto a stiff backing. A second video shows a timelapse of the cutout being created and provides a better perspective of the true size of the final product.

For a random viewer, it might seem strange that somebody would want to make a giant cutout of Dream’s face. However, a quick perusal of Jacobs’ TikTok account will reveal that the creator’s entire channel is dedicated to making cutouts, some of them extremely large, and there seems to be no set theme. In an ongoing project, Jacobs is making 2,000 monokumas, the stuffed bears from the Danganronpa series of dark adventure video games, and another video shows the creation of a life-sized 3D replica of a Minecraft zombie.

Dream isn’t the only YouTube or Twitch personality who refrained from revealing his face for several years, and many of them have extremely successful online careers, perhaps even because they haven’t yet shown what they look like. Corpse Husband, a musician who also narrates scary stories on YouTube and has nearly 8 million subscribers, has gone seven years without revealing his face and expressed in an interview that he believes the anonymity helps maintain the mystery behind his content.

Other content creators have unintentionally let the mask slip, so to speak. Last year, technical difficulties resulted in Twitch streamer Anomaly accidentally revealing his face after years of hiding it behind a ski mask. While the Counter Strike player laughed it off at the time, the clip of the incident has since been deleted.
