If he got a C&D: it was from Nintendo. If it was a copyright strike (or multiple): it could have been a copyright troll. I don't think it's some conspiracy on YouTube's part, but Nintendo could be up to no good, being Nintendo.

By the way, Dream wasn't a "plant"; he gained "massive visibility" by trend-jacking — which is when you make videos about, you guessed it: trends, to capitalize on people searching for them a lot. He also knew how to game the system, by only making family friendly videos and never cussing or talking about politics. You can call him fake — which he is — but he wasn't a "plant."

No, Dream had to have been a plant because other channels that do the exact same thing as him are still buried in the hundreds of views. The few that do get Dream's instant success later turn out to have been linked to Dream in some way all along, even when this isn't apparent at first. But I'm sure it's all just a big coincidence!

Which proves my point: he knows how the system works.

No, it shows that they're connected to YouTube somehow and their channels are flagged by the algorithm so they instantly get placed at the top of everything. If he merely "knows how it works" then why does his method only work for himself and people somehow connected to him? Legit channels of that size took years and years of steady growth, and even that's impossible now with how crowded and restricted the site has become. And why do the same videos and comments from these channels automatically rise to the very top and other ones don't? Why do they never have one single failure of a video? If it was legit, it's still a gamble no matter how well you play the game; no one can get success 100% of the time like that. It's far simpler to think that YouTube saw the old channels dying and that there's no way for new ones to come along organically this late in the game, so they went the artificial route and hired a team to put out videos and made them soar in popularity for money. It's not rocket science.
