Before I start discuss uber Youtuber Dan TDM and his adorable Instagram pictures, I would like to clarify a few things in regards to his name(s):
- His real name is Daniel Middleton – yes, as in Duchess Kate Middleton. While I did not find any obvious royal connection, I can tell you that he is from… UK – gasp!
- He is most well known as TheDiamondMinecart (or DanTDM) by his fans. However, according to Google Adwords, more people search for him as The Diamond Minecart – spaces in between – (135,000/avg. monthly to be exact..) compared to the correct name, TheDiamondMinecart -without spaces in between. (90,500/avg. monthly)
For those who are not familiar with DanTDM, he is a popular Youtuber with over 5.5 million subscribers for his channel, TheDiamondMinecart. His channel is well known for kid friendly Minecraft content, as well as, a couple other games and vlog content. In fact, he recently won the 2015 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award as the UK Favorite Tipster.
Now that we have all the niceties out of the way, without further ado, here are 5 reasons why I love following DanTDM on his Instagram. See what I mean with the screenshots and quotes below.
