Popular YouTuber Ian “iDubbbz” has reignited excitement among his audience with the announcement of a new installment of his “Content Cop” series. This series, which debuted in 2015 with a critique of Anthony “Jinx” for supposedly low-effort content, has gained a reputation for its sharp commentary on various internet personalities.
Ian shared a teaser for his next content critique via his account on X, leading to a rapid surge in viewer interest, amassing over 646,000 views within the first 12 hours. The teaser quickly became a hot topic on the r/youtubedrama subreddit, with the most notable comment coming from user Nonsense_Poster. They speculated that the focus of the new video might be Ethan Klein, especially in light of recent allegations regarding his handling of information during the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
“It’s gonna be H3H3 ISN’T IT”
This speculation resonated with other Reddit users, many of whom expressed enthusiasm over the possibility of an iDubbbz video targeting Ethan. Here’s what some of them shared:
“God that would be glorious, I don’t think EK has burned the bridge far enough to the point where he’d consider it, but I do hope it’s them,” commented Reddit user ScarySpookyHilarious.
“I hope so that would be so funny,” wrote Reddit user Goober_Man1.
While many predictions favored Ethan Klein as the focal point, there was also a significant contingent of users on X advocating for a critique of Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker. Here are some notable responses to Ian’s teaser:
“Unless it’s Hasan Piker you can f**k off into the corner,” said X user @The_Lord_Eous.
“If it’s not about Hasan Piker, might as well not do it… I have a feeling it’s about the far right and Elon Musk blah blah blah, like we don’t have enough video essays about that,” commented X user @bryentmicheal.
The anticipation for the upcoming video has varied opinions within the community. YouTuber @Muj_in reacted skeptically to Ian’s announcement, implying that the project might not meet expectations:
“This is gonna be like modern Hollywood remaking and botching your favorite childhood movie; no one asked for this bruh.”
The Last Installment: A Look Back
It’s noteworthy that the previous installment of iDubbbz’s “Content Cop” series was released in 2017, focusing on Jake Paul, though it primarily scrutinized RiceGum. Ian later clarified that he chose a misleading title to avoid directly naming RiceGum in the critique.
After the last video, iDubbbz stepped back from the series and in 2023 issued an apology for aspects of his previous content, receiving praise from various creators, including HasanAbi, for distancing himself from “toxic and racist” themes.
In other developments, Ethan Klein has faced a setback in a defamation lawsuit against Ryan Kavanaugh, which could further complicate his position within the community as new details emerge regarding his conduct.
