Thomas Michael "Tom" Simons, better known online as TommyInnit or Tommy, is a popular British Minecraft YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and comedian. He is a former friend of the Dream Team. He has a distinct obnoxious but funny persona, and rose to fame with his humor. He worships Vikkstar jokingly and admires Jschlatt; some of his videos are inspired by Schlatt's. He was part of the Sleepy Bois Inc. He also went to school with Eryn, whom he lives with.
Tommy is often called the main character of the Dream SMP for his participation in (and sometimes for starting) major plot points, and for driving the story forward. Since joining, he has also helped expand the server by recommending new members.
History[]
Tommy started streaming on Twitch at the age of 12 and averaged five to thirty viewers. He often streamed minigames on the popular Minecraft server Hypixel. One day, he raided fellow streamer Tubbo who had 0 viewers.[7] The two became good friends and began playing Hypixel together, often Skyblock.
About a year into his streaming career, Tommy started uploading on his YouTube channel, TommyInnit. His channel gained traction due to videos such as "Every Hypixel YouTuber Ever," and he surpassed 5,000 subscribers soon after.
Tommy also participated in the Minecraft Championship, with his debut being MCC2. In MCC4, he teamed with Technoblade, Wilbur Soot, and Ph1LzA, who were known as the "Sleepy Bois Inc." In MCC9 on September 12, 2020, as part of a deal with Wilbur, Tommy became an official member of the Sleepy Bois.[8]
SMP Earth[]
Prior to SMP Earth, Tommy had been a SootHouse fan. When fellow British YouTuber and streamer Wilbur Soot, who edited for SootHouse, announced that he was starting "SMP Earth," Tommy was eager to join. After making videos with popular YouTubers, like TimeDeo, and earning "YouTube Rank" on Hypixel, Tommy messaged Wilbur on Twitter. Wilbur responded that if Tommy could get more viewers while streaming, he would be added to the SMP. Tommy cleverly streamed on YouTube rather than Twitch, as he would get more viewers on YouTube, and Wilbur invited him to the server. Tommy ended his YouTube stream after receiving the invitation and went live on Twitch shortly after to play on SMP Earth. On SMP Earth, Tommy created the country "Business Bay" and ended up speaking to many other popular Minecraft YouTubers, such as Technoblade and CaptainSparklez, for the first time. He also started many wars, most memorably "The Battle of the Bridges." As a result, he gained popularity and shot from 10,000 subscribers to 100,000. He also became friends with Technoblade, Wilbur, Ph1LzA, FitMC, and many others.
Post-SMP Earth[]
After SMP Earth lost popularity and closed, Tommy returned to streaming Hypixel Skyblock. His Twitch and YouTube continued gaining traction, propelling him to an average of 4,000 Twitch viewers and 175,000 YouTube subscribers. He experimented with other content, including Discord content, YouTube reactions, and cursed Minecraft videos, while still playing Skyblock with Technoblade and TimeDeo. He started competing in MCC as well. His MCC4 win with Technoblade, Wilbur, and Ph1LzA gained around 935,000 views.
Eventually, Tommy began creating videos with his close friend Tubbo. This included popular videos about hacking in Minecraft, which launched Tommy to nearly 250,000 subscribers. He then started making videos from Twitch streams, such as "story time" videos about how he met famous YouTubers, how his school found out about his YouTube channel, and how he was once banned on Hypixel. He also made a video on the infamous Minecraft server 2b2t.org, which is notorious for hacking and griefing. Around this time, Dream noticed Tommy's content, and the two began to chat regularly on Discord. Tommy continued making videos, with a video about using auto-clicker in 1v1s against popular YouTubers (including Dream) amassing over 800,000 views and pushing him past 260,000 subscribers. Afterwards, Tommy and Tubbo made a video on the server Wynncraft, which Tubbo called a "1000-dollar Minecraft server" for how well-made it was. The owner of the server noticed the video and invited the two of them backstage to see how the server was run.
Tommy's videos continued to perform well. He made a video with an auto-clicker mouse from his school friend Eryn (known online as Cyberonix) that became his first video to reach a million views. He made a video with fellow Minecraft YouTuber, Fundy, who had also recently blown up on YouTube, where they trolled Tommy's friend Bitzel. Tommy also streamed on Twitch with Dream Team member Sapnap, a stream he dubbed "Minecraft Speedrunner vs B*tch" with Tommy as the speedrunner and Sapnap as the hunter.
Tommy was then invited to the Dream SMP.

Controversies[]
"I get lesbians" Joke[]
During the Dream SMP, Tommy made a joke about how he "gets lesbians" - he was trying to imply that he understood them in the sense of liking women, but many people took offense to this joke both because it was misinterpreted as him saying he gets romantically or sexually involved with lesbians, and he also received backlash due to the fact he has not experienced what they have as a minority. He has since apologized for this on several different occasions, and agreed that he shouldn't have said it at all.
Dream Controversy[]
On August 4, 2023, Tommy uploaded his video If YouTubers Were Honest.... This video was essentially the start of the end of Dream and Tommy's friendship, as Tommy got involved in the discourse of the similar Minecraft SMPs that Dream and Quackity had. A few months later, Dream mentioned that him and Tommy were no longer friends.[9][10]
While Tommy and Dream are no longer speaking with each other, Tommy still references his past associations with him and the rest of the Dream Team. Despite Dream reportedly having debunked his allegations of grooming in The Truth, Tommy continues to reference that several of his old friends were groomers, though in most cases he doesn't specify as to who he is referring to.
On January 10, 2025, Dream quoted a post on X by xQc criticizing Tommy, to which Dream responded with a meme of Dream SMP stans choosing either "growing up" or becoming a TommyInnit fan, describing the TommyInnit fans with the r-slur. The word is widely considered ableist and offensive, especially in the Minecraft community, as many fans are neurodivergent. The post received much backlash, and Dream ended up deleting the tweet a few hours later.
In a deleted Reddit post Dream made discussing his tweet, he talked about how a double standard seems to exist with the use of such slurs. He claimed that people go viral for calling him slurs, but when he does it, he gets "absolutely throttled for it". He stated he said what he said because Tommy and his fans continue to make up lies about him and attacking xQc.[11]
On January 12, 2025, Dream talked about a lot things that Tommy and other British content creators did. He mentioned that Tommy's video "If YouTubers Were Honest..." did annoy and upset him and ended their friendship.[12] He called Tommy's perspective on his relationship with Quackity a lie. Dream also called it a selfish, money grabbing, and no backbone move.[13] Dream claimed that he got doxxed and swatted because of the video. In addition, Dream claimed that Tommy had been attacking other people for the past few months for attention.[14] The reason he tweeted in defense of xQc is because xQc is Dream's friend.
Later that day Tommy posted a video titled "Dream" as a response to the stream, explaining his point of view. He criticized several actions of Dream's, including his use of the r-slur, Dream's treatment of Tommy during their friendship, how his friends behave, and his contacting of Tommy's mother. In response, Dream posted his own video on January 14, 2025. In it, Dream discusses the accusations Tommy made in his own video. He brings up many of Tommy's claims, such as of Dream and his friends being sexist, and he claims that there is no evidence or context to what he said. He also discusses the criticisms of his merch quality, along with his own treatment of Tommy, saying neither are properly justifiable.
Small Creator Contest Controversy[]
On October 10, 2024, Tommy posted a video titled "getting edgy in Minecraft" where he announced a contest designed for small Minecraft creators to collaborate with Tommy on a YouTube video. Many creators, notably JinxeyWinxey, BrutePlanet, Bluoscious, and PurpleGround, were gaining traction online for their creative entries. SebAlwaysGaming, a YouTuber with a small channel following, was contacted by TommyInnit, promising a collab in the upcoming month. After over 2 months, Tommy followed up with his congratulations with a response stating that the contest was cancelled, offering tickets to Seb to Tommy's tour as consultation. Seb accepted the tour ticket but Tommy still had not followed through with this promise as of June 16, 2025. It is an ongoing controversy as many of Tommy's fans vocalize their opinions on Tommy's Reddit, stating that the five small content creators deserve their collaboration. Tommy has yet to speak about this topic.[15]
AI Controvery[]
On June 15, 2025, Tommy posted a video titled "Asking ai about me", where Tommy uses generative AI for about thirty minutes. His video has received lots of backlash, many stating how destructive AI is to the environment. In the description of his video, he states "By the way guys, I really do think AI is bad. It's definitely going to ruin the world and I do not at all endorse it. Taking away from the human spirit is not a good ambition for corporations to have." Despite his claim, many believe that TommyInnit actually does support AI, as he made this YouTube video, and has AI-generated images in his newest book, TommyInnit’s Guide to Survival. Tommy has yet to speak about this topic.
