One of Minecraft's biggest youtubers Dream has been accused of cheating by the speedrunning community. Today I explain what went down and provide you with my conclusion based on my own investigation. Huge thanks to k4yfour for providing the Minecraft footage used in the run and also helping me understand more about the game. Thanks to the Minecraft speedrunners who answered some of my questions.

Ok
you too!

You too! :D

I hope Dream stans won't come here.
Edit: people, after reading some replies I can see that many of you use "stan" instead of "superfan"
Stan: (noun) an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity.
Fan + stalker = stan
Superfan: a very or extremely devoted fan.
He didnt cheat, he just liked one the comments that says "Like this comment for 1000 years of good luck"
Damn we were all played!
All 1000 years of luck were used in those 6 streams.

Just checked. He responded to the claims made against him and his speedrun, and tried to debunk certain aspects. That's his perspective, so he hasn't proved anything. He can claim he didn't cheat, but that doesn't mean he didn't.
Put it this way (a hypothetical scenario): Dream is accused of murder. He's the only one at the scene of the crime, and somehow the only evidence to prove he's innocent disappeared into thin air. He should be the prime suspect, right? So he's sitting in court, and the jury is filled with speedrun moderators. It reaches a stalemate because some of them say others were biased against him, so he's sent back to prison to wait another day. Until he's acquitted, he's seen as guilty.
End of story.

Now let's say you "Manipulate" the Traffic light to show more green on your Lane, or you can somehow direct the traffic too. Do you see where I'm getting at?
Where other drivers have to drive over and over again to get that perfect "Lucky" break where the Lights are green and there's no traffic
a Cheater can simply turn the tides favouring himself

@@Tael98 this vid is from back when Dream was being accused of cheating...
Recently, Dream came out with a document explaing how he accidently cheated. The OP above is referencing the fact that this video had 7k dislikes (which were all probably Dream stans, aka children)
Honestly, the best part of this controversy had to be the Dream stans trying to explain it all. Getting mad for saying that Dream cheated. Getting mad for bringing evidence into the fold. Getting mad at people criticizing Dream for using such a long time before coming out with the truth. Defending Dream because he was so 'brave' for coming out with the truth.

“Players don’t cheat to get a faster time, they cheat to get a time, faster.”
Damn another priceless quote for the speedrun community. much respect
Had me dying reading that lol
Took me a minute to understand that tbh.
So, the quotes basically “Not cheating for a faster time in the run, its cheating to raise the chances of a decent time in a run
@@Damascene_ that's not exaaactly what it means, but it's close. The better at speedrunning you get, the more you're competing with world record, the more good RNG matters. It's not that having good rng increases the chances you get a decent time, it's that bad, or even moderate RNG kills your run straight up. You don't get a bad time, you run just ends. You don't get a time at all. The wind waker any% speedrun was asscheeks for a long time (until a trick was discovered a few years ago that isn't rng), where at the very very end of a 2 hour run, there was an extremely RNG dependent trick you had to do (zombie fairy hover) and if you were competing for world record, if you missed it enough times, well tough luck you just wasted 2 hours try again buckoooo. Your run could be complete trash but if you got it first try you suddenly had 30 mins under your PB.

I don’t actually care about the cheating. I just hate the way Dream harassed the mod team for several weeks and I hate how Dream just straight up lied to and manipulated his fans. He even sort of vaguely admitted that he cheated on Twitter but he isn’t even going to talk about this anymore. He won’t even upload a public apology to stop this drama and stop his rabid stans from harassing people. I’ve lost all respect for him.

You comment is, just like most things regarding this situation, very misleading. Watch Karl's most recent video about Dream for the truth.
@@bengtbengt3850 Hey hun I made this comment before Karl released his updated video, which I did watch multiple times, but thanks for the recommendation
My main gripe with this situation is that fans are saying that it doesnt matter if Dream cheated or not, which completely ruins the integrity of speed running as a whole.
Yeah
Like I play hollow knight and i did every boss and No hits (which I did)
And some dude walks and tells they did it as well but shows no evidence and is being jerk and try to hide he's cheating
Of course I am gonna get angry because doing every boss radiant (which means in the game as doing the boss no hit) it just so spite me for even trying to it honestly.
It very much matters and I would have been slapping any fan who said otherwise.
It actually does not matter if Dream cheated or not, to his community, knowing his content isn't focused on speedrunning and this drama will be buried by his popularity so I don't get why people still argue against the evidence, math, and simulations that he cheated. What makes this issue so wrong is that after all of this, if Dream won't admit his run was tampered it's the integrity of the speedrunning community that is ruined. If a person can get away with cheating like that, others will think it's okay too. I am actually a fan of his content but I stayed updated because of the math lol. I never even thought that simulations can be ran from the data given, the more I know now.
Dream did a video on his second channel proving his innocence

in his video he says that alot of his audience come to him cause he's an expert in speed running in general. And i doubt if he wasn't asked to, then it wouldn't have made this video.

Apologized to the "very unprofessional" moderators, what a stand up guy...
I wouldn't mind someone cheating if
A) admitted it
B) sincerely apologized for doing it
Bonus: they meme and joke about it
And he did neither of those 2 EVEN AFTER ADMITTING IT. What a fucking guy ain't he? 🤡
It was honestly a non-apology. He didn't apologise for anything, he didn't apologise or acknowledge the threats his fans sent to the speedrun mods and anyone else reporting on it. He didn't even take blame for any of it, and then after all he said, he deleted the pastebin and tweet about it.
@@rocketlanterns That's just not true lol. Did you read the second apology addressed specifically to the mods and the speedrunning community? And he didn't delete the pastebin either (it's impossible to delete a post as a guest), it just got taken down because it got mass reported.

In my opinion, if dream wants to modify the game to his benefit for better content, thats completly 100% fine. If he tries to pass it off as a legitimate speedrun, it isnt fine.
Yeah exactly. Its so disrespectful to the other speedrunners who are grinding away for these times legit. Completely destroys the sanctity of the competition.
I think everyone at some point has gone into creative mode and given themselves an inventory full of diamonds than switched back to survival. But it's so insulting to do that and say it's legit because it shows he thinks his fans are too stupid to know better.

You humour me greatly with your arrogance and contempt, a flood of accusations born from the poison of envy and smite of disrespect. I feel both disappointment and flattery these thoughts would originate from another player who has demonstrated one of a kind talent and has accomplished the impossible, yet is apparently immune from judgement owing to their reputation, do not think your words hold more credibility just because of who you are, being more well known and what you have accomplished in breaking world records and setting ones never previously accomplished, such as with TNT and Plutonia Nightmare. With that being said I will divulge my thoughts on the serious accusations you have set forth.
I won't address the individual gameplay scenarios you've highlighted, as the foundation of your argument arises from jealously, this is clear when you contrast my success with your failure, being deluded into thinking you should have surpassed these trials yet cannot absolutely comprehend how someone else can claim victory on a consistent basis, instead I will address my playing ability. You know nothing about who I am or my history with this game, I am exceptionally talented not only at Doom, but other oldschool FPS along with videogames in general. I make speedruns and partake in Ironman out of passion for the game, it is a personal challenge in testing my playing ability to overcome arduous odds, I play for fun, it's about me vs the game and I hold no strong competitive urge or desire to be known as the best, reputation and status are not important to me but having fun is essential.
Are you serious when you can't believe someone can beat an Ironman consistently? It's just playing the game without saving or loading, do you not have a fundamental understanding of the core gameplay and how to the play game correctly? Am I the only one who can play aggressively, with an intuitive and innate ability to bend the game to their will and not panic when in a dire situation, but with tactical genius aware of my surroundings and dexterous reflexes can act in the heat of battle and overcome arduous odds? When you highlight cases of RNG, I honestly don't think about it that deeply, I'm confident in what I'm doing, I'll make a risky move and hold strong with faith. I laugh at your baseless accusations of slowdown in reference to Stardate, I'm sure other skilled players such as Mrzzul and Nevanos could playthrough Stardate casually withour prior practice or saving and get just as far. Also bear in mind that I have died in several Ironmans before, do you honestly think their was demo manipulation there?
You also demonstrate your ignorance very clearly when you admit you haven't watched my Ironman demos in full, and by watching I do mean actually studying them and assessing each scenario, bearing in mind my experience and ability at Doom which is extradonary, not skipping to a random moment and making up fabrications based on your own failures thinking oh it's impossible, their is no way any player could accomplish that. I do make mistakes, sometimes crucial ones, this is also reflected if you studied my speedruns which are far from perfect and have flaws such as missing shots, awkward movement and poor dodging, however a key skill I have is not panicing when low on health or when the circumstance is dire. Well guess what, I'm one of a kind, no one can play the game like me, every talented player and speedrunner has their own strengths and weaknesses that make them stand out.
I am deluded when you suggest someone must have prior knowledge to stand a chance of victory at Ironman. Well look at Demon of the Well, he's not a speedrunner but is known for making FDAs both blind and familiar, he has an exceptional ability at conquering maps on his first attempt, the most prominent example I can think of is rdwpa's MuMe.wad. Does that mean he cheats? Certainly not, he's a talented player who obviously has a high level of playing ability. You also have j4rio and 0xfooba who have accomplished amazing demos that haven't been set before, with the former tysons that should be impossible and the latter UV-Maxes on some the hardest maps devised and speedrun movies of Sunlust. So why would you think my speedruns are cheated, when their are fellow speedrunners who have demonstrated extraordinary playing ability, do not stream and have surpassed my demos? As I certainly have never accussed anyone else of cheating, but respect their accomplishment and admire their tenacity at conquering very hard maps and goals.
I have not shown jealously or malice towards fellow speedrunners who have surpassed my demos but silently congratulate and admire their accomplishment, in some cases publicly such as when Ancalagon went back and re-ran Combat Shock in response to when I beat his old runs. I do not look at speedrunning with a competitive eye, thinking I must have the record and surpass my competitor, instead my view is a cooperative one, it's us speedrunners against the game, building on one another's ideas and talent when a new record is set, complementing each other's unique strengths and weaknesses.
My question would be why are you accusing and targetting me specifically? I can see from the depths of your arrogance, you believe with absolute certainty you are correct and I must be a cheater with any form of rebuttal being null and void. Well let me state clearly I have nothing to gain, why would I cheat at Ironman when I have pubically stated previously I do not care about winning or if a fellow player surpasses me, this is just fun to me. For speedruns, what would be the purpose in cheating as it's a personal challenge to me, I want to demonstrate to myself I've got the skill and talent to conquer very hard maps, it's about me against the game and I don't feel jealously at a fellow speedrunner who has beaten my record. I make speedruns out of passion and love for the game and not for admiration or self flattery, as long as Andy accepts the demo for DSDA that's all I care about.
I am not going to stream as I do not care for an audience and am not influenced by the accusations of an envious stranger. I only streamed briefly for a short time in the past out of curiosity, but it does not interest me nor do I feel passion for it. I haven't watched Twitch in over a year, I was drawn to it in my spare time during the short period prior to my first full time job after finishing my studies. My life has changed a lot in the past two years and their are far more important aspects in life which draw my attention, I have little free time as well. Also you must be very self-conscious if you honestly think one has to stream their demo to demonstrate they aren't cheating, that just indicates your disrespect and distrust towards other players with exceptional playing ability, you'll never be a talented survivalist like me :)
Let me make it clear I don't give a damn what you or anyone else thinks of me, when I am passionate about a subject I will speak my mind truthfully even if it means being brash at times, both online and in real life, I won't be intimidated by anyone and will confront them with assertion and confidence. I'm here for fun, making speedruns and commenting on subjects once in a while which capture my eye.
Thank you for revealing your true colors, seething with jealously and enveloped by arrogance, you've lost what respect I had for you. If you've come to your senses you will offer an apology, take a good luck in the mirror before you make such a disgusting accusation against a fellow Doom player, who has not caused strife and discord but shows humility and respect with a care free attitude, or will you continue this charade and repeat history, replicating the case of Okuplok? If you do continue to accuse, it will be solely for my amusement as I will not take you seriously and will likely ignore you. Choose wisely.

His tactic of initially claiming his score is not high enough on the leader board to be investigated is the exact same excuse Billy Mitchell gave when he was first accused of cheating as well. Interesting trend here.
This has more to do with how random seed speedruns work, I doubt he intentionally cheated 5th place instead of 1st, he just didn't get the right seed for nr. 1. There's just too much randomness in minecraft speedruns compared with GoldenEye or old arcade games, which have very linear and predictable speedruns.
@@KartonRealista2 yeah these drop chances in set seed 1.16 would probably be a guaranteed 1st for any of the top players in just a few runs. (Unless set seed is like an already complete portal or something I haven’t seen 1.16 set seed)

Maybe he did modify teh drop rates but other random elements were too unlucky for number 1. It is insanely optomized.

I don't know why one of the most popular Minecraft TH-camrs who makes enough money to _live_ by doing what he loves with his best friends, would ever even dream of spoiling his beloved fan-base and manipulating them to take his side against anyone who opposed him. The way he worded his tweets was completely unwholesome and deceptive. He completely took advantage of his loyal fans and used them to make the moderators' lives miserable. ;(
Out of skill comes entitlement. He is one of the best players in the world. He played the game for a long time to master it. All that stands between him and the wr is a random factor he cant control. So he takes a shortcut thinking it would be the same result but just with less work.

Not enough credit is given to the moderators for their analysis. It was an incredible effort and is a huge credit to the integrity of speedrunning. The fact that their theoretical results are now aligning with large numerical simulations is confirmation of how well they did. Absolute legends.
Dream knows he can’t counter the math so he just uses deception to make the mods look inexperienced. In the original Geosquare video the mods wanted to get a third party but dream didn’t because “third parties are biased to the side that paid for them”. What does he go and do, hire a third party and claim that they are unbiased.
@@aamaruvi and not only that, he literally told the mods that they are "clout chasing".Dream is right over his head with fame where no-one outside of this community knows who he really is lmao.
@@GoogieBuiscut The mods made a rebuttal to his document.
Plus, I had any problems with his response myself, especailly how the website was made using Wix.
As far as I'm concerned, the simulations are by far the most reliable evidence that Dream cheated. The fact that the stats that the mods published apparently align with these simulations is very impressive.
Well we do know the mods are that who made the first document and the verified Reddit guy who made a debunking document to dreams respond. we know this people and the background from their public accounts, but the expert from Harvard the dream hired is anonymous he could be from Harvard or he could be a fan that’s in high school we don’t know his background beside what dream says and that’s not the most reliable in this problem. Dream needs to hire someone who is public and has a verified background to make a document to prove his innocences but until then with the current documents it looks to be dream is guilty of cheating
MinecrAvenger, what a smart guy. Imagine if he learned he could cheat at speedruns...

Thanks for including that last little clip at the end with the nervous laughter. A lot of his reactions during the run could come off suspicious, especially having such good drop rates and him not reacting or appreciating it one bit also made it weird to me. Anyone who legitimately got a 1 in a trillion drop would probably scream “no way” or “let’s go”. I don’t watch him a lot but you could probably compare it with any of his reactions in videos. Sadly human behavior can never be solid fact. So I really appreciate the time and work you put into this, and being so neutral and respecting towards both sides.
First comment on a ticked account
Now begins my popular phase
yes cute, thanke
Hello yes, I adore your animations.
I love your tf2 animations
Dream was kinda sketchy from the beginning
It's not even the fact that he cheated that pisses me off. It's the fact that he vehemently defends his run with all this "proof", calling the people who rightfully call him out as clout-chasers, and not even lifting a finger to even TRY to prevent his rabid fans from harassing and hunting down critics.
If he had just came out and said "yeah I cheated, made the run for entertainment" and apologized, that would've literally been it. Yeah he'd lose credibility for past and future speedruns, but at least he'd be honest and the situation would've blown over much quicker. He would most definitely fuck up his speedrunning career, but he'd in the very least be honest.
Best case scenario he just wouldn't have cheated at all, but since he most definitely did, the least he could to is step up, apologize and tell his stans to drop it. But no, banning the words Karl Jobst in his comment section, blocking out/letting his fans harass anyone trying to disprove him and going completely radio silent in his own little bubble and calling people clout chasers on his way out is totally the way to go.
But the guy doesn't gain anything from apologizing and he most definitely knows that. By ignoring this entire situation it'll fade into obscurity which is what he believes is the best option, because him responding is a huge draw to attention to the whole thing, clearly not what he wants since he knows he fucked up and he knows what will happen if he responds. But that's a double-edged sword, since it also means the people who don't support him will forever hold this over his head and this will follow him for the rest of his career, unspoken but never gone.
But let's be real. His audience is kids. they're kids that don't know any better, kids that idolize him to an unsettling degree. If he told them the truth, they wouldn't care because they love him. That's what feels the most gross, knowing your fanbase is young and impressionable to the point that you know you'll get away with anything, specifically deceit and manipulation.
But as long as he gets that ad revenue, who cares. Certainly not Dream, lol.
What's more awful is that a few months prior he caught a speed runner 'Drem' cheating. He did indeed cheat in his speed run and because Dream caught him of cheating, half his obsessive fans just went over and sent that mans hate, and ruined basically his whole TH-cam career.
...and then a few months later Dream is officially accused of cheating his Speedruns and is a frickin hypocrite but his subscriber count has only really grown and the speedrunning controversy probably only got him more views and made him more widely known on the platform.
It would be better if he said nothing at all.
This is the most underrated comment on TH-cam I have ever seen. This is the comment I was looking for. It describes the whole entire situation.
@@coastalbeaches7181 another thing, dream actually said in one of his twitch streams to not harass drem at all, but his stans still acted otherwise

There were only two decent ways of handling this from the get-go: Either admit "Yeah, I cheated because I was frustrated with how ridiculously RNG-dependent this category is. Sorry, I won't do it again," or simply say "I know my luck was really insane. I didn't cheat, but I understand the moderators' conclusion and accept that they cannot verify my run." Instead, he called the mods "biased" for even investigating him while not addressing the actual reason they gave for doing so, acted as though his submitted run not being a WR time magically made it more legitimate, and even went as far as to ban people from his subreddit that accused him of cheating. Even on the virtually impossibly small chance he didn't cheat, the way he handled the situation was incredibly immature, and quite frankly, suspect at best.
He already did the second option you mentioned.
@@xnadulxnadul7741 Yeah, too little too late. The issue was that instead of handling that way from the very beginning, he was constantly calling the mods' credibility into question, harassed them for removing his run, and indirectly encouraged his fanbase to harass them as a result. And in the end, the closest he could come to "I understand their decision" was basically "At this point I don't really care if the run is verified anymore, but here's why they're wrong and how far off their calculations were," while not even addressing the fact that he had his anonymous professional add in 5 additional streams from 2 months prior in a clear attempt to skew the data *after* complaining they didn't do enough to adjust for stoppage. His response video was filled with condescension towards the mods as well, basically saying "Well I know these guys are young and not exactly professionals" to attack their credibility instead of presenting any actual errors in their calculations. He also made it sound as though they were biasing the data *against* him when in reality all he was proving was that maybe they didn't bias it in his favor *as much as they possibly could have.* No matter how calm about the situation he is now, his response as a whole was a far cry from just saying "Yeah, I understand," and was still disingenuous at best. No matter how much better he does now and in the future, that doesn't mean he didn't handle it poorly for weeks on end.
I do agree that he handled it immaturely, and that he absolutely should be professional given his following, that's one of the responsibilities of a celebrity of any kind, due to their influence, though please do remember that he's only human and probably has a lot of stress on his shoulders.
Either he is innocent, in which case him getting angry is very understandable, as he'd been publicly, falsely accused and couldn't really do anything to stop his reputation from taking a permanent blow, especially after talking to the mods to have a setup to prevent this exact thing from happening.
Or he's guilty, in which case he probably should've seen it coming, though I still believe he has good reason to get mad. The mods made it way more public than it really should've been, probably knowing that even something so minor would be a big blow to his reputation. To be clear I'm not saying the mods are the "villains" or anything, nobody is perfect.
And one last thing, he has a personal life and could be going through a bad time. The last thing anyone needs is either massive hate based on something wrong, or massive hate based on something insignificant. Please be nice, I know he's a grown man and this is the real world, etc. etc., but words are some of the most hurtful things in "the real world" and the shortcomings of others shouldn't be used as an excuse for your own shortcomings. (That wasn't to anyone in particular, btw, just anyone reading, and while I'm aware it isn't relevant to this conversation please consider it)
@@lagc5103 Not a genuine apology because it still involves lying.
Couldn't have worded it better, fam. I too am a fan of Dream since the hunters were only George and Sapnap. Yes, I enjoy his content, but I totally agree with everything you said. I no longer care if he cheated or not because all sides claim to be right and I don't want to dig any further into this anymore. It's true that he handled this issue kinda poorly, whether he did cheat or not. He kinda didn't come off as legitimate with his defense, although he did re-arrange his defense and I give him props for that, no matter how late it is. That said, I just wish for the best for this issue and I'll just neutrally sit by here until a proper conclusion is reached.

Considering how easy it is to modify the loot tables I'm surprised the minecraft speed running community doesn't have better technical checks / verification / proofs required for runs.
True, I reckon this whole situation will bring a rise to that
Some files are now required for top runs, but there are still ways to cheat that are basically undetectable. Fortunately, the way the meta has shifted recently has put much more emphasis on the seed you get rather than the rng you get within it, and set seeds are much easier to detect than loot table manipulation.
Showing a hash of the files when the credits appear will help to mitigate this easily, I hope Mojang cooperates with the speedrunning community to implement such a feature
Speaking of which, how would you do that?
I kinda stopped messing around with commandblocks, one command machines all that stuff right before the first 1.13 snapshot.
I heard some myths here and there about datapacks, but I don‘t really know if it‘s just that
i actually find this very funny because dream was one of the first people complaining about this issue and gave a ton of (imo) good ideas as to how they could be more verifiable, yet here he is a couple months later cheating himself

Put speedrunner in quotes @Toby knecht
When accused cheaters respond with hostility it's almost always a damning thing. Whether they try to make fun of you, say that you suck, call you an idiot...it doesn't help matters. It only makes things worse. It's not definitive proof that someone cheated but it gives a glimpse into the person's personality. Especially since people are "free to be what they are" on the internet. One example, not to toot my own horn, was that I played Command and Conquer Renegade for 10 years and I was accused over 1400+ times of cheating from 1000+ different people. But I was never malicious in my responses. I simply stated that I didn't cheat and that I could provide screenshots or videos or even be tested during gameplay. The lesson? If you're accused of cheating then don't be a dick about it. You may not have cheated but you've proven yourself to be a dickhead in real life.
Totally agree, Dream's response with his initial angry rant came off to me as "Oh crap they caught me."
Damn respect
Wow... That's actually really profound
Wow an actual comment that makes sense and not dumb rambling or arguing back n forth😂
Disagree. The guilty when accused already know they are in the wrong so often they end up trying to talk their way out of it. When the innocent are accused it's a direct insult and they feel wronged so they will often act more aggressively and be more confrontational because of the injustice. It ofc depends who accuses you. If you beat some scrub and he calls you a cheat you feel flattered so you might mock them or be gracious. If someone is accused and deemed a cheat by authorities it's a completely different scenario. It's just that we don't see that many serious actions taken against the innocent. However, if you look at criminal cases where someone innocent is being accused they will often strike back at the accusations much more than the guilty.
Reading the comments now with 100% proof of a illegitimate speed-run is hilarious.

@@arandominternetuser4507 It means that the speedrunner knows that he can get a faster time if they would have better luck. So they cheat to get rid of the rng aspect.
@@arandominternetuser4507 I think it means that speedrunners cheat not necessarily to get better time, but to get that time earlier in their careers and skip the grind, since they know they had the skill to eventually reach said record someday.
Ah, I see. So for this whole time I’ve been misunderstanding the accusation. I thought that they accused him because he got lucky just ONCE, on one singular speed run, but in reality it was because he was getting lucky on a regular basis, on multiple runs.
Yep
Same. I will admit, I don't care too much about the speedrun side of things, as I just watch stuff on TH-cam to watch stuff on TH-cam. But hearing about this, it also seemed to be painted as ONE run. Knowing it was MANY that were looked at makes it a lot more damning.
I am a dream fan, I enjoy his videos but I'm not a Stan and I will never be for anyone (I hope) and I thought the same, and I was really unsure if he did cheat or not cuz I thought it was just once and when you do one in many experiences, you can get luck sometimes. But now that I've seen this comment I now can understand that he definitely cheated and it's so sad because I like his videos a lot he is that youtuber that you watch and you laugh so hard and I'm so sad to hear about it.

they're to busy nursing dream's feelings and forgiving him for "making a mistake" while ignoring dream's chronic lying and manipulation and weaponizing his rabid followers
@@58209 ye bro agreed
Lmao
They’re too busy forgiving him , all they can say now is “it’s just a block game” when before it was “he would never cheat”
@@58209 they are feeding dream with their milk
He didn’t cheat, he had wayward compass equip- oh wait. Wrong game.
Charms in Minecraft be like.
I see you thread through the path of pain
that's just f3 my guy
I'm a mathematics teacher and when I read the paper by Dream's hired party something about it seemed off very quickly. At university I focused on Complex Analysis and left statistics behind after the first year - so I'm willing to cede any authority on the validity of the statistical modelling since I'm only familiar with the Binomial and Poisson distributions, and not the Bayesian system. However, the paper, by its own admission, serves to shine a light on the ONE in 100,000,000 probability rather than the original probability in the trillions, and then say this is within the realms of acceptable statistical likelihood. It read like a bad defense lawyer hired to argue for the guy caught holding the smoking pistol.
Just on the first scan of the paper I saw a missing bracket in one of the lines of formulae - indicating that the paper was 1.) not self-checked and/or 2.) not peer-reviewed. Also I noticed a repeated type-setting error that I used to make when I first started writing mathematical papers using the program Latex (I suspect Latex was used here as well): Someone used to writing mathematical papers should either know or care to find out how to use the correct quotation marks. Using the ' " ' key in Latex only produces the 'end quote' and is consistently used in this paper which makes it look rushed / amateurish (by the way, to Dream's mystery mathematician: the open quote is ' `` ') . Someone whom Dream stated graduated from Harvard (was it? or Boston MIT? I forget) and stated that they were an astrostatistician would surely have taken the time and care to present a more professional document. In keeping with this theme, many of the footnotes were links to Wikipedia... If I had cited Wikipedia as my sources for mathematical theorems, proofs, and histories I would have been scolded heavily by my tutors at university.
The whole paper, along with Dream's response video, seemed like a "smoke and mirrors" act to provide any deflection possible from the glaring and damning statistical data.
yeah, they didnt even bother to cite the sources in wikipedia. it was the wiki itself. also, latex is not a program, it is a language, but yes, Im also guilty of committing the quotes mistake.
That "astrostastistician from Harvard" was just a random anonymous dude from a shady website Dream hired to write the paper for him. Dream liked to claim that the mods were biased, but he forgot that funding bias is also a thing so even if his guy was real, the party that did it couldn't be counted as unaffiliated considering he paid them to write it (and even then, the paper itself claimed that Dream cheated but funnily enough he never even read it after the first few sentences so he didn't know)...
This is so true lol
Dream admitted that he rushed the mathematician for releasing the paper as he was getting a lot of bad press and he wanted to respond as soon as possible.
@@ayushagarwal3365 I mean, it makes sense to rush the paper since the people that published the first one did it before even telling him that they were investigating. Seems like a dick move to do that tbh, he doesn't have time to do anything before the bad press starts.
But even with a rushed paper, if the maths don't make sense, he's lying.
Karl jobst calling me a legend makes me feel like he's my second dad
Thats because he is
He always brings the milk and cigarettes home
Thats because he came back to your life after he became an adult?
It makes me feel like he's my dad, and my dad is still alive 🤣
anyone who think dream did not cheat is 12 years old or younger. like seriously.....
@Bruh Meme maybe they think that the ods were done wrong. Tbh thats what I thought before watching dreams "defense" video.
Hey, 10-12 year olds aren't so stupid they wouldn't understand that dream cheated. I can say this as a former 12 year old.
lol im 11 and this is stupid like he OBVIOUSLY cheated nobody is that dumb
I mean ofc without stans
@@xyzzy1692 im 11 and im glad you said that kinda tired of being called a idiot over and over
Except that one person I found who "Is 30 years old and makes more in 3 months than you, your mom and Dad combined."
The stan hunters in this comment section are actually so good, they know what math is, and don't just call everyone who disagrees with the video a stan, unless they're being toxic.
@@mekyiamky6285 Shut up stan
@@mekyiamky6285 please be quiet
I'm more disappointed in the way he responded than him cheating. His responses were quite obviously manipulative and misleading on purpose. He knew most of his following were gullible kids or young teens, using his fans as a shield to push away the truth is rotten.
That's litterally his dream smp character in the Tommy exile arc
@@hureian6212 what else is going to happen? If you get accused of cheating with your reputation on stake, you are going to do?
@@hureian6212 The point of manipulation is that no one can tell it's manipulation except for people who aren't affected by it.
He manipulated his fanbase and close friends to defend him the entire time, and that's fucking disgusting.
did he cheat? probably. do i care? no. Did he tackle the issue well? Definitely not.
I think the blazes and piglins were Dream stans
No I think RNGesus was the Stan himself
