Content cop was great, not because I ever thought you were some moral hero, but because at least somebody was calling those guys on their crap. Content Cop was great and will be missed.
The majority of content cop videos were punching down or extreme overreaction (I.e Tana). The Keem video is cool but generally it was mean spirited and as Ian said he was also making mistakes
We all feel like that, but materially speaking that’s exactly what content cop was, and even if WE didn’t see that, that’s where it was coming from, straight from the horse.
Even if I'm absolutely appalled by almost all the people he did a Content Cop on, I don't believe that they deserved some of the shit they got from them.
Because all his other content has done oh so well...... Yeah, super funny dude. For all the tards responding; the rest of his videos barely manage 10% of the views his content cops received. I don't care how you slice it. All other forms of your content receiving anywhere from 80-95% less viewership is not good.
@@damanwithaplan8056they’re just people, dawg. Try not to put them on a pedestal and just talk to them like you would anyone else. The more you do that the easier it will be and you’ll get more comfortable with it and slowly you’ll pick up cues on how to read the conversation and where the convo is heading (if they are into you, when to flirt etc). I was the same way for a lot of here in my teens and even my early 20s, it happens to a lot of us but you’re still young and it gets easier. It’s like a muscle that the more you use it the better and bigger it gets and therefore will be easier.

@@kanokadany113 Socialism comes with certain responsibilities nowadays. You can’t be a socialist while being toxic, the majority of his unboxing videos were taking out s*x toys and making racist/sexist jokes. Times change and socialism is growing, let the man join the right side
If you told me like 3 or so years ago that iDubbbz would change from "everything is okay" to "none of it's okay" over the coming year(s), I would've laughed thinking it was a joke
I believe he implied that it was just more nuanced than believing those kind of concepts are as black and white as “all or nothing”. He’s obviously been dealing with a lot since then thats hard to articulate in a short video, but his “empathy bar” getting filled the way it did evidently has a lot to do with him coming face-to-face with his viewership. Something pretty intense has obviously happened to him.
@@jenniealarid1421 no it was pretty straight forward, he still believed the n-word for example could be used in a racist way which he did not condone, but the use of the n-word wasn't inherently racist.
@@xZyvonlearning how to be more respectful as a grown as 30 something year old is the definition of maturity. It's not sensitivity, it's interacting with actual human beings in the real world enough to realize that basic human decency is a good thing
He had a lot of past videos that weren’t edgy or bullying, they were just weird and hilarious performance art or Jackass-like. Like the sewer pickle video or the Frank/Maxmoefoe/Anything4Views collabs. Those videos still hold up great. I think Ian should still be proud of those videos. I totally get him having regrets about other videos though.
Hell no, yall are blatantly accepting his apology for literally being racist. Him saying all the shit he was saying WAS FROM THE HEART not for content. No one says that type of shit on a joking level. & the fact you guys are calling this an improvement just shows how idiotic you guys are. I’m only taking this personally because my sister is mixed along with my niece n nephew. There were times where I had to literally beat the shit out of privileged white boys who thought racial slurs were hilarious. On my mother’s life, I’ll forever be like that too. This video seems genuine and all but it still doesn’t change the fact that what was said he meant.
I’m not trying to come off as some tough ass or anything but I just don’t like that type of shit. I just can’t show sympathy to this guy. He used to say all that shit so comfortably.
Don’t really care about the Content Cops, but I miss Kickstarter Crap. Majority of those weren’t confrontational or edgy and were justifiability criticising half-baked campaigns or inherently shitty products. You’re a funny guy to watch, always have been. I understand Kickstarter Crap probably isn’t a viable series anymore due to your level of exposure now but I still find myself going back to them. Hopefully you still look back on some of your earlier content fondly, I know my friends and I do.
I’ve always believed idubbbz’s worst crime was making mid content and ever since the controversies, he doesn’t have to make the same type of content, but at least make it funny or interesting
I think Kickstarter and IndieGoGo actually started vetting their campaigns more so there isn't much to make content out of. And when there is it gets taken down immediately.
I see where you are coming from as a lot of the people he made content cops on were pretty shitty people; however, there is a difference between calling someone out and giving them what they deserve and directing millions of people towards them to ruin their life and subject them to nonstop harassment for years. I think that is what Ian is trying to say.
@playz2520 I feel like that's being a bit dramatic. They're influencers, they get hate every day. The hate they got probably spiked for a month or two (probably deservedly) then went back to normal, it's really not that deep.
@@playz2520 yeah - that's why he says he still doesn't like them, they just didn't deserve the cruelty and vitriol pointed at them as a result of the videos. I think he's always had a sort of underlying message he wanted to get across but didn't realize at the time just the sort of culture and response it'd foster. the majority of the subjects of his videos did deserve to be called out, some still do - just not in the way he went about it originally. I think that much is reflected in his callback to the boxing podcast as well.
I don't think he's apologizing for content cop, he's apologizing for the racial slurs he said in past videos if he's apologizing for content cop though, he shouldn't. all he does now is whine about criticism, the internet has become softer and so has he
I loved the absurdity of the old idubbbz videos. He did things that I, and most normal people would never have the guts to do or say, especially in public. That's what I think a lot of old fans appreciated from the old RUclips content. The outgrageousness and absurdity of it, not literal hate or an actual desire to call people n-words.
I’m kinda in that boat. It’s the fans who want him to keep being the racist insensitive edgy dude who justifies saying the slurs. I can understand why someone wouldn’t want to associate with that
that's true but the issue Ian is talking about are the people who DO do that stuff after watching his content or when he targeted that hate at specific people giving people more reason and a target to direct that harassment at.
Not according to all of his fan interactions where people casually just dropped the n word to him. The normal viewer can tell it’s a joke, but kids and the hardcore racists legitimately can’t differentiate the comedy of the video and appropriate behavior in public
you either *** a heroe of live long enough to see yourself become the villain, as Cumeatsoner Gordon once said. I used to think filthy completely stopping videos and just doing his joji stuff full time was a cop-out but now i see he was just following his true desires, good on him. idoops and etan (((klein))) on the other hand continued their youtube paths, and in an effort to exist on this platform, modified their content and morphed into these sick caricatures of who they once were. I gues sin reality their stuff was not even that great to begin with, tho alot of their old stuff is nostalgic to many of us. In reality, it was very derivative of other internet personalities at the time (can anyone guess one in particular lol).
The problem is you guys think Filthy Frank is just who he is, even off-camera. It was a character he played solely on RUclips. It didn’t surround his whole life nor was it a core part of him. He’s always been more Joji than Frank.
To act as if there is no nuance to life or language or behaviour is just a pathetic attempt to mask inappropriate behaviour. The way I always describe it is that you might make a 9/11 joke between your friends, but everyone would agree that making one at the funeral of someone who died in 9/11 isn't an appropriate or nice thing to do. To accept that fact, is to accept that there is nuance to every situation depending on the people you're with, the words you're saying, the intention of the words etc.
You moralizers probably laughed at Filthy Franks pimp my wheelchair which is offensive to the disabled... So... Either all of it is okay or none of it is okay...
I'll just put it out there, I don't miss Content Cop Ian as much as I miss the Cake Trilogy Ian. The fun skits you did with Max and George were so much fun to experience as they came out.

For what its worth i believe the keemstar, and leafy vids were very important at the time. Those are the two i can say are probably without fault in their criticism of their subject and without them i think someone else would have made probably the exact same videos. Everything else i totally understand the shame and regret.
It's unlikely you'll ever see this but it's extremely heart warming to see your growth. A lot of guys that said the stuff you were saying didn't go the route you did, some got worse and became entrenched in bigotry and conspiratorial thinking. It's so nice to see how much respect you've gained for different people, SWers in particular, which is a blind spot for a majority of people, and that you understand the power of your words on a platform. The change of heart you've had is what we kinda wish for everyone who was saying what you were, but rarely get. I wish you and your wife health and wealth
I really miss the old Save the Squirrels Initiative videos. Also your collabs were amazing, my favorite video was the Comedians on Hoverboards since it was such an unexpected video. You might have changed your content but those videos are still up and bring me joy.
For me personally who's been watching you since the very beginning. The most entertaining bits were never really the takedowns or the name calling but the skits you would do in-between. To this day, I still burst out laughing at you pouring peaches in your mouth in a sewer or doing McDonald's reviews in your car but the shot is from outside. That was gold and it showed that your humor extends beyond the meanness.
Honestly the only people buying this guy being sincere and not just doing this because his wife told him to or she won't fuck him genuinely make me question if they have any actual life experience or if they're just really young or insanely stupid or delusional There's no way people are falling for this clown tryna save face.
I do miss the content cops that were on the worst of the worst. Keem and rice gum for sure. Living up to the cop part of the title. The depths you went to line up the objections to that person being on the platform was nice. I totally didn’t have to search “Asian Jake Paul” to figure out ricegum’s name.
Maybe I’m too low class but I loved you calling out internet assholes and lazy hacks. As long as I live I will never ever understand how these people have the popularity that they do or really how they have any audience at all. It was nice to have someone call it out.
I don't think that's what he's talking about, although I doubt he'll go back to that anyways. I definitely wish he would every once in a while. But this seems more that he has grown up and stopped shitting on people in tasteless ways. I'm sure Ian would absolutely still shit on asian Jake Paul, he just wouldn't be racist about it and focus on the actual shitty parts more.
I think it's not like they don't deserv to be called out for their shitty behavior, it's more like the *way* he went about calling them out. It was aggressive, antagonistic, openly hate-filled, just sorta made him similar to the people he was criticizing and contributed to the negative culture rather than a calm, collected exposure of bad things people haven't answered for
He's not saying they don't deserve to get called out, it's more about how he went about it. He actively encouraged harassment and in a lot of cases that lead to threats of violence and racism.
@Caleb Rohn he was literally only racist because that's exactly what Ricegum wanted he wanted him to only roast him based on his race and it tells me you didn't understand that content cop. Ian said slurs to show him he didn't give a fuck and that the flaws Ian had with him weren't based on his race. He said them to "prove him right" so ricegum could say "look he called me the bad words see! He's racist!" But in all actuality if you listened to any other part of the video youd see the flaws with ricegums personality, content, and behavior we're what he was actually critiquing. Ian systematically took away Ricegums racial argument by giving it to him and immediately throwing it to the side.
This is really grown of you and if im being real your videos did indoctrinate ME into this mindset, over the past few months ive been growing compassion and breaking free from that and seeing you do that over time aswell really brings a beacon of hope cause i believe anyone could do better, This was a great video and i wish it helps more people.
@Xbox One jinx’s content cop was pretty early on and it was apparent that ian’s goal was to just clown on people who made low-effort content. i honestly think the reaction jinx got was a little undeserved but i don’t know if many people expected content cop to be that explosive
I agree, he never made fun of people for no reason, I really just think he felt bad and didnt like who he was back then, and felt like he wanted to mention these topics to tell everyone he wanted to officially move on and change
Maybe it is because I’m no longer a young adult, but I completely understand where you are coming from. It almost feels like I was a different person once upon a time. Growing up and becoming self aware is surreal. It’s hard for people to come to terms with who don’t experience the change themselves.
@@waidaracabudu1827 IKR, he's acting like he ever stopped being a dick to people. He just pretends he's the good guy now he's actually a millionaire and is punching down.
I think that’s just part of growing as a person. If you’re a man, shit, your brain isn’t done developing until your mid twenties. The bit of your brain that creates empathy isn’t fully developed until sometimes years after you’re considered a legal adult. We leave our hometown, we meet people from different countries, ethnicities, races, cultures etc and they all make a mark on us. Understanding our past actions and changing how we behave moving forward is what defines us.
I actually think the squirrel videos you made were some of my favorite videos. They were funny, it was interesting to see what worked on trapping them, and it was nice to see them relocated to a park at the end. I still sometimes rewatch them. I don’t remember the last time I thought about the content cop series or watched one.
I loved the content cop videos not really because of the ripping on whatever interner bad actor dude it is but the effort and production value put into those videos made them some of the most refreshing on the platform a golden nugget in a dumbster yk
the only reason people on the internet have changed is the network enforcement act by germany, it forces social media to delete "hate speech", which is a subjective thing
I mostly just miss the crazy skits you would do that involved physical pain and absurd scenarios. Like playing Twister with Frank and Max, putting Max in a dress to escort him across a slippery tarp while you're pelted with fruit, etc. Even the unboxing and the squirrel videos had their charm.
Yo why’s this get no reply’s?… yeah I never thought this would’ve come out, but I’m soooooo glad it did. I was loosing so much hope seeing people just ruin lives and making the world a worse place that I felt like giving up, but seeing this come out gives me hope that even really messed up and flawed people can mature, I don’t feel like being a better person then yesterday is a waste of time right now, and that really means a lot to me
Well hes choosing money over everything else people mobbed him because he wasn't sensitive enough in reality everyone else needs to learn to grow a pair and move on
@@spacecakery he and all his crew started "growing" right about the time youtube stopped monetizing the edgy content they used to make, what a coincidence!
I mean, he said those people deserved to be called out. He still doesn't like them. Truly awful people that are valid targets to punch up at. He just means his other stuff. Also he's not feeling bad about making the vids, just the witch-hunt that he sent his fans on.
@@sci7zo what "other stuff"? The only video series he referred to by name was Content Cop. He specifically apologized to each and every person he made a Content Cop on.
He claims he’s matured but honestly his old self sounded much more logical and mature, he actually made sense. Now he’s just being a hypocrite pussy with negative level of self esteem

@@francissanto12 its not funny to everyone, just like his old content is not funny to you, but clearly a lot of people liked it. Very much like South Park lol
When it comes to the content cops, I'll admit there has been some "over the top" moments. But I think the reason people enjoyed it so much was the fact that a chunk of what he was saying was true about those people despite him being just as bad as they were at the time. (Not all of them btw)
I think the value in the Content Cops was that he was willing to stoop down to the same level of childish vitriol as his subjects, in essence to give them a taste of their own nasty medicine. In the case of Tana, it's something that was probably justified in 2017, but as the circumstances have vastly cooled off in the 6 years since, the level of vitriol in that Content Cop remains just the same to the point that it's now very out of place in 2023. In other words, in their moment I think each Content Cop was warranted and deserved, and this was the exact reception that they got, but as time has passed, it's difficult to remember that they're each a product of a very specific point in time. Watching the Tana Content Cop in 2023 gives you a very outdated perception of both Ian and Tana, but a perception that was probably spot on when the video came out. Hit pieces can't remain current, and this clashed with the Content Cop format.
I hope that you continue doing your cool long form documentaries. Those kind of perfectly hit the mark between absurdity and genuine, heartfelt compassion for their subject.
What I love about this is that I’ve noticed most RUclipsrs that played a role in my teenage years have grown up and matured just like I have. It’s wholesome and I love it. It makes me not feel as weird for maturing. Seems like we live in a world that promotes immaturity and it’s a crime to own up to mistakes and actually grow up. I’m proud of you Ian!
Maturing.. he was pushing 27, 28 when making those content cop videos. It's not some teenager or even 22 year old that we're talking about here. He was well over 25 when he made his first one and that certainly qualifies as adult. I'm not saying you can't "grow as a person" but the whole maturing thing seems ridiculous.
F*** D E G E N E R A T E All jokes aside though of all the people Idubbbz has gone after he’s the one I feel the most bad for. Pretty sure it was confirmed man had a lot of mental issues he was struggling with
I think a lot of people can relate to the feeling of not liking the person they were in the past. I certainly can. I can't tell you how often I randomly think of something stupid I did and get completely incapacitated by cringe. I cannot imagine what it would be like to have those feelings while also having an audience in the millions. It's hard enough to grow and learn who you are after adolescence without having to do it in front of an audience, especially when half that audience is saying "fuck you don't change." Just want to say I respect the hell out of you for this. It's hard enough to look in the mirror and recognize you need to change, can't even imagine doing it with a spotlight on you.
Imagine all the stupid cringey stuff you are doing right now in the present and how future you will also be a "changed person" who also does stupid cringey stuff and will look back at you now in embarrassment. Who cares about what you did in the past because in most cases people still do something like it in a new shape or form, at least that is how I see it.
@@Tristin127 I love how you head empty conservatives think you can call anyone else a shill when you are willing wage slaves to capitalism "Oh daddy elon, push the exploitation into me deeper, yes, YES!"

@@osakanone Its really not. Its because Iddubz is saying things like "It was bad that I said the N-word" despite not actually talking about the reason he did. Why is it a bad word? He always said its just like all other slurs, now he had a 180?
8:20 I hate how he doesn’t realise the net positive the content cop videos had made, he called out the most BS content creators and humbled them, showed the world the things that those creators did were stupid and helped us make them change. Because of him people have started to question what content creators were releasing and how to act on it rather than just sit and be mindless consumers
Yeah but he did it in the wrong way when he harassed Tana (which may had been funny at the time) it was wrong and unnecessary plus idubbbbz is basically saying who is he to judge someone when he isn't that great of a person either.
Well I thinks it's more of a moral issue - the train paradox. Don't touch the leaver and passively let 10 people die, or touch it and actively save them but also actively kill one person. He sees the net positive I think, but he has his issues of how he got there. He thinks, and I think he's right, the way he conveyed his message was too hurtful. You don't have to be this mean and make fun of his personal appearance to criticize leafy for example. Even tho he was a pretty bad actor. There's always an alternative.
Your documentaries were some of the best things I’ve ever watched on RUclips. You worry about entertaining people but you’ve made multiple master classes in documentaries. I’d love to see more of them.
Couldn’t agree more, except even the very mild description of “necessary evil” doesn’t do it justice. It was funny and edgy, at best. Something that just isn’t allowed at all anymore.
As a fan from back in 2015 that just started watching your videos again for the first time since Covid, I think this was a really cool thing to come out and say
The only content cops i would say were kinda unnecessary were the toy reviews channels, food review channels and tech destruction channels. Basically attacking and critising a genre and not a problematic person.
Your Content Cop videos were fun and mostly justifiable. Your dunk on Keemstar, Leafy and Ricegum were glorious and fun to watch because they made youtube dramas back then fun and opening segments were funny. Edit: Also, I am okay if you decided to stop making Content Cop. I just think your newer videos aren't interesting or fun enough. You even "work" with a grifter.
The Leafy one was justified, but the video was quite shit. Instead of focusing on issues, he was just chin shaming. Which is why exactly he was having a content cop on leafy. The rest were great though.
Haven’t watched your channels since I outgrew the content cops, this is the realest video I’ve seen in years. It takes a strong man to sit down and reflect upon the harm we’ve done. Mad respect.
The biggest thing I miss is your fan mail videos. Those had my dying and I loved it. But your accountability and regret shows that you have matured so good stuff.
@@charlietraynor-croft6393 Seeing all the "he's censoring us" conspiracies on a video where he openly invites criticism and literally criticizes himself for 90% of the duration is honestly hilarious. Peak lack of self awareness and vilifying a RUclipsr because they don't make the kinds of videos you want. I've seen a couple dozen popular comments constructively and non-constructively criticizing Ian that have been there since the video was uploaded, you guys just like to assume the worst of everything.
Looking back at idubbbz content I completely understand where the cringe comes from but the videos i watched more were the Anything4views, max and filthy frank content which was just insane and the ridiculousness of it was what kept me coming back. Seeing the 4 of them transition into something more has been a journey. Even if its music, boxing or drunk podcasts seeing you guys make content you actually feel proud of is the best part.
My boy, it takes a man to know when they're wrong and even a bigger one to act upon it. Shame is expected but this is something you should be proud of.
I feel a lot of the content cops were justified but honestly I mostly just miss the unboxing videos. They had some problems in it as well but it was still good fun
Kickstarter crap series was amazing, unboxing videos were really good too. Content cop was a clever idea and worked well. Heck, even squirrles initiative wasn't bad.
Doubt it. In comedy usually Someone at some point is the butt of the joke. If all you do is hyper fixate on not offending anyone then your comedy days are done. I think he’s done. He’ll just upload apology vids for ad rev every now and again.
Hey man. Your Kickstarter crap series was always my favorite, and you made me laugh a lot in it without using slurs or targeting anyone, but just making fun and being silly. That's what got me to subscribe back in the day. I'm looking forward to your future content.
Exactly. He never needed dumb slurs and they just made his content less funny. The humor came from the wittyness of the rest of his content, which will be missed (also by me, a disabled trans person)
It's not lame to say "I've acquired empatht at 32 y/o", it's something to celebrate. I've met so many people, younger and older than you, that double down on their harmful (to themselves and others) ways of living, even in the face of actually seeing the harm they've done. And I wish more people would be open to the idea of being wrong and also being able to make it right for others and themselves. I hope you continue to celebrate your personal achievements, especially the ones that take into account gaining more empathy, kindness, and in general being good for others and standind up to injustice against minorities and people in need. The best we can do imho is to take care of each other, and hold ourselves accountable for the purpose of improving always. It might not be entertainint, but it's what we need in the world right now. Thanks for making this video, I have no idea about the specifics of each drama, but it's healing to hear someone acknowledge their wrong doings and their search for improvements. May we all take on your example and keep practicing that in our own every-day life🥂

I know this video is sincere but the ‘I’m sorry to everyone I made a content cop video on, I still don’t like the majority of you’ made me piss myself. Your a funny guy Ian always have been
It is funny but I honestly think it demonstrates a lot of maturity. You don't have to like someone to take responsibility for what you did wrong. Disliking someone doesn't give you a free pass to do whatever the hell you want. Not if you're an adult.
@@lordgoogoo69 strange how a man can show humility and apologize, and idiots on the internet will look at a general human value and because YOU don't like it. You have to attack him personally. I'm not sure he's the hurt one here.
I've been a fan of your content both old and new. You deserve to grow and change as a person, their is no question that you are a great entertainer, you deserve to be able to show the sincerity that you are showing in this video and I'm interested to see what you do next.
that content was just as edgy as his content cop's though. Half the punchlines were slurs or bigotry which is antithetical to Ian's point about how he wants to apologize for his bigoted content which just so happens to be 99% of his catalogue before Full Force and youtuber boxing. His success was being edgy and he wants to kick the ladder out from getting big doing content cops now that he has youtuber boxing to carry his income.
@@Groovieboneslmao what? He changed way before boxing, I’d say right after the last content cop is when his content started changing, the man was making videos on how to save squirrels and find coins in his yard, maybe full force and boxing were the popular videos that brought it to your attention, but they were definitely not the turning point to say that all the content before it was “99%” edgy
@@Grooviebones the only way you can describe this as "kicking the ladder out" is if you misunderstand what is going on here at a very fundamental level
Honestly the content I enjoyed the most was when you hung out with others, the obvious being Max, Chad George and so on.

The edge that made him say the n-word to an 18 year old girl is the same creative force that led him to eating pickles in a sewer. It's no coincidence this "growth" correlates with a massive downhill slide in video quality.
@@fatfuriei dunno man he's not totally wrong we both disagree with the last statement, that the changes in content are a "downhill slide in quality". I never liked any of the deranged idubbbz antics myself. I don't miss the old idubbbz. but it's definitely true that the same force that brought the slurs also brought every other crazy deranged goof. art is weird. it's based on impulses. idubbbz' creative impulses have changed and those changes lead to new outcomes. Being embarrassed by your past use of slurs comes from a new outlook on life. One that won't lead you to eat pickles in a sewer. The thing to argue over is whether those changes are for the best.

I believe he implied that it was just more nuanced than believing those kind of concepts are as black and white as “all or nothing”. He’s obviously been dealing with a lot since then thats hard to articulate in a short video, but his “empathy bar” getting filled the way it did evidently has a lot to do with him coming face-to-face with his viewership. Something pretty intense has obviously happened to him.
@@jenniealarid1421 no it was pretty straight forward, he still believed the n-word for example could be used in a racist way which he did not condone, but the use of the n-word wasn't inherently racist.

Shock content is defined as content "that is intended to be offensive or disturbing to its viewers", why would you miss this?
He had a lot of past videos that weren’t edgy or bullying, they were just weird and hilarious performance art or Jackass-like.

Don’t really care about the Content Cops, but I miss Kickstarter Crap. Majority of those weren’t confrontational or edgy and were justifiability criticising half-baked campaigns or inherently shitty products.
You’re a funny guy to watch, always have been. I understand Kickstarter Crap probably isn’t a viable series anymore due to your level of exposure now but I still find myself going back to them.
Hopefully you still look back on some of your earlier content fondly, I know my friends and I do.
I’ve always believed idubbbz’s worst crime was making mid content and ever since the controversies, he doesn’t have to make the same type of content, but at least make it funny or interesting
But it hurts the feelings of so many inventors and entrepreneurs 😭
I think Kickstarter and IndieGoGo actually started vetting their campaigns more so there isn't much to make content out of. And when there is it gets taken down immediately.
and there's a lot of crowdfunded garbage out there to criticize.
There isn't much kickstarter crap going around these days. Like other things, it was a response series from idubbbz to a trend at the time.
To be fair, some deserved the Content Cop on them. But the kickstarter crap and dumpster chicken videos are absolute gems. Those were your best work.
I see where you are coming from as a lot of the people he made content cops on were pretty shitty people; however, there is a difference between calling someone out and giving them what they deserve and directing millions of people towards them to ruin their life and subject them to nonstop harassment for years. I think that is what Ian is trying to say.
@playz2520 I feel like that's being a bit dramatic. They're influencers, they get hate every day. The hate they got probably spiked for a month or two (probably deservedly) then went back to normal, it's really not that deep.
@@spreadwuvokay lol, ok guy
@@playz2520 yeah - that's why he says he still doesn't like them, they just didn't deserve the cruelty and vitriol pointed at them as a result of the videos. I think he's always had a sort of underlying message he wanted to get across but didn't realize at the time just the sort of culture and response it'd foster. the majority of the subjects of his videos did deserve to be called out, some still do - just not in the way he went about it originally. I think that much is reflected in his callback to the boxing podcast as well.
I don't think he's apologizing for content cop, he's apologizing for the racial slurs he said in past videos

I loved the absurdity of the old idubbbz videos. He did things that I, and most normal people would never have the guts to do or say, especially in public. That's what I think a lot of old fans appreciated from the old RUclips content. The outgrageousness and absurdity of it, not literal hate or an actual desire to call people n-words.
"It's OK when we do it." Lol. Lmao.
I’m kinda in that boat. It’s the fans who want him to keep being the racist insensitive edgy dude who justifies saying the slurs. I can understand why someone wouldn’t want to associate with that
that's true but the issue Ian is talking about are the people who DO do that stuff after watching his content or when he targeted that hate at specific people giving people more reason and a target to direct that harassment at.
Not according to all of his fan interactions where people casually just dropped the n word to him. The normal viewer can tell it’s a joke, but kids and the hardcore racists legitimately can’t differentiate the comedy of the video and appropriate behavior in public
His most interesting feature was always his personality. He's smart and quick and a little weird in the best way. Hard to believe he was so insecure.

But this seems more that he has grown up and stopped shitting on people in tasteless ways. I'm sure Ian would absolutely still shit on asian Jake Paul, he just wouldn't be racist about it and focus on the actual shitty parts more.
I think it's not like they don't deserv to be called out for their shitty behavior, it's more like the *way* he went about calling them out.

He's not saying they don't deserve to get called out, it's more about how he went about it. He actively encouraged harassment and in a lot of cases that lead to threats of violence and racism.

Ian said slurs to show him he didn't give a fuck and that the flaws Ian had with him weren't based on his race. He said them to "prove him right" so ricegum could say "look he called me the bad words see! He's racist!" But in all actuality if you listened to any other part of the video youd see the flaws with ricegums personality, content, and behavior we're what he was actually critiquing.

Ain't no way he said content cop was based on 'luckluster criticisms'
That's what relationships do to people. Beware!
I think that’s just part of growing as a person. If you’re a man, shit, your brain isn’t done developing until your mid twenties. The bit of your brain that creates empathy isn’t fully developed until sometimes years after you’re considered a legal adult. We leave our hometown, we meet people from different countries, ethnicities, races, cultures etc and they all make a mark on us. Understanding our past actions and changing how we behave moving forward is what defines us.
I actually think the squirrel videos you made were some of my favorite videos. They were funny, it was interesting to see what worked on trapping them, and it was nice to see them relocated to a park at the end. I still sometimes rewatch them. I don’t remember the last time I thought about the content cop series or watched one.
Yeah I was addicted to thise
agreeeeeed
this and kickstarter stuff was cool
the squirrel videos are how i discovered idubbbz, which is crazy lol
he posted a squirrel video on idubbbzTV2 few hours ago :D
This is great self-reflection. Awesome to hear! Wishing you well
I loved the content cop videos not really because of the ripping on whatever interner bad actor dude it is but the effort and production value put into those videos made them some of the most refreshing on the platform a golden nugget in a dumbster yk
Lol yes he had put in so much effort and entertaining moves in the video that i actually didn't know about 70% of the content cop "victims".

@@BowForGlory what
the only reason people on the internet have changed is the network enforcement act by germany, it forces social media to delete "hate speech", which is a subjective thing
I mostly just miss the crazy skits you would do that involved physical pain and absurd scenarios. Like playing Twister with Frank and Max, putting Max in a dress to escort him across a slippery tarp while you're pelted with fruit, etc. Even the unboxing and the squirrel videos had their charm.

I mean, he said those people deserved to be called out. He still doesn't like them. Truly awful people that are valid targets to punch up at. He just means his other stuff. Also he's not feeling bad about making the vids, just the witch-hunt that he sent his fans on.
@@sci7zo what "other stuff"? The only video series he referred to by name was Content Cop. He specifically apologized to each and every person he made a Content Cop on.
He claims he’s matured but honestly his old self sounded much more logical and mature, he actually made sense. Now he’s just being a hypocrite pussy with negative level of self esteem
Didn't he tell Keemstar "unironically k!ll yorself" wonder how that would fly with his new fantbase today 😂 oh wait nah its cool bcs Keemstar is a "fascist" probably 🤣
as someone else put it: He had a lot of past videos that weren’t edgy or bullying, they were just weird and hilarious performance art or Jackass-like. Like the sewer pickle video or the Frank/Maxmoefoe/Anything4Views collabs. Those videos still hold up great. I think Ian should still be proud of those videos. I totally get him having regrets about other videos though.
He probably does like those videos, but doesn't like who he was when he made them
none of his content was that bullying really and if it was it was to people who deserved it.
Those videos are what made him famous and he shouldn't feel ashamed of them

@@francissanto12 its not funny to everyone, just like his old content is not funny to you, but clearly a lot of people liked it. Very much like South Park lol
When it comes to the content cops, I'll admit there has been some "over the top" moments. But I think the reason people enjoyed it so much was the fact that a chunk of what he was saying was true about those people despite him being just as bad as they were at the time. (Not all of them btw)
He’s too himself too serious
interestingly, he has gone from the ironic moral grandstander (content cop) to the unironic moral grandstander (this video)
It’s called growing up lol
I think the value in the Content Cops was that he was willing to stoop down to the same level of childish vitriol as his subjects, in essence to give them a taste of their own nasty medicine. In the case of Tana, it's something that was probably justified in 2017, but as the circumstances have vastly cooled off in the 6 years since, the level of vitriol in that Content Cop remains just the same to the point that it's now very out of place in 2023. In other words, in their moment I think each Content Cop was warranted and deserved, and this was the exact reception that they got, but as time has passed, it's difficult to remember that they're each a product of a very specific point in time. Watching the Tana Content Cop in 2023 gives you a very outdated perception of both Ian and Tana, but a perception that was probably spot on when the video came out. Hit pieces can't remain current, and this clashed with the Content Cop format.
@@cazzhmir perfectly said, exactly how I've been thinking of it. The content aged out.
I really enjoy save the squirrels initiative tbh. Very weirdly wholesome videos of you trapping the little bastards and letting them free elsewhere
i loved that
Yesss❤
I love it too 🫶🏻
A lot of people forget to grow up. Ian is not one of them
A waste of protein if you ask me
I hope that you continue doing your cool long form documentaries. Those kind of perfectly hit the mark between absurdity and genuine, heartfelt compassion for their subject.
Seems like Chis' life has only gone downhill since Full Force unfortunately.
So compassionate he told Chris to get a job when he reached out for help.
I will say, I did actually enjoy those. I think people on both sides of “new vs old idubbbz” were happy with them.
the documentaries have a weird condescending vibe
those things leave wakes of destruction
What I love about this is that I’ve noticed most RUclipsrs that played a role in my teenage years have grown up and matured just like I have. It’s wholesome and I love it. It makes me not feel as weird for maturing. Seems like we live in a world that promotes immaturity and it’s a crime to own up to mistakes and actually grow up. I’m proud of you Ian!
How would you feel if you didn't have breakfast?
Maturing.. he was pushing 27, 28 when making those content cop videos. It's not some teenager or even 22 year old that we're talking about here. He was well over 25 when he made his first one and that certainly qualifies as adult. I'm not saying you can't "grow as a person" but the whole maturing thing seems ridiculous.
Can't believe you apologized to Tana, but bypassed the true victim - Leusick Diamond-Eyes
What about Gatorpoon or the rap production guy?
I’m all about that GRIIIIMESTEP homeboy!

All jokes aside though of all the people Idubbbz has gone after he’s the one I feel the most bad for. Pretty sure it was confirmed man had a lot of mental issues he was struggling with
@@zanes_productions Yeah and now he has some pop psy cuckoldress gf who literally made him sterilize himself.
Or that "Rock will never die, motherfucker" guy.
I think a lot of people can relate to the feeling of not liking the person they were in the past. I certainly can. I can't tell you how often I randomly think of something stupid I did and get completely incapacitated by cringe.
I cannot imagine what it would be like to have those feelings while also having an audience in the millions. It's hard enough to grow and learn who you are after adolescence without having to do it in front of an audience, especially when half that audience is saying "fuck you don't change."
Just want to say I respect the hell out of you for this. It's hard enough to look in the mirror and recognize you need to change, can't even imagine doing it with a spotlight on you.
Imagine all the stupid cringey stuff you are doing right now in the present and how future you will also be a "changed person" who also does stupid cringey stuff and will look back at you now in embarrassment. Who cares about what you did in the past because in most cases people still do something like it in a new shape or form, at least that is how I see it.
@Chris Porter yeah that's a super fair point honestly

8:20 I hate how he doesn’t realise the net positive the content cop videos had made, he called out the most BS content creators and humbled them, showed the world the things that those creators did were stupid and helped us make them change. Because of him people have started to question what content creators were releasing and how to act on it rather than just sit and be mindless consumers
Yeah I think so too but he is right about some of them going too far.
Yeah but he did it in the wrong way when he harassed Tana (which may had been funny at the time) it was wrong and unnecessary plus idubbbbz is basically saying who is he to judge someone when he isn't that great of a person either.
I love we're treating people making kinda cringe content like they're committing crimes or something.
Well I thinks it's more of a moral issue - the train paradox. Don't touch the leaver and passively let 10 people die, or touch it and actively save them but also actively kill one person.
He sees the net positive I think, but he has his issues of how he got there. He thinks, and I think he's right, the way he conveyed his message was too hurtful. You don't have to be this mean and make fun of his personal appearance to criticize leafy for example. Even tho he was a pretty bad actor. There's always an alternative.
Yeah it's not at all like most of those left or are making the same literal content
Your documentaries were some of the best things I’ve ever watched on RUclips. You worry about entertaining people but you’ve made multiple master classes in documentaries. I’d love to see more of them.

Content Cops were a necessary evil for the time, and people like Keemstar and Leafy absolutely deserved them.
Couldn’t agree more, except even the very mild description of “necessary evil” doesn’t do it justice. It was funny and edgy, at best. Something that just isn’t allowed at all anymore.
Apparently not, he was just blindly harassing and abusing people who didn't deserve it.
I mean criticizing people is fine.. not sure what he's talking about specifically here.. what bigoted content? he said some slurs? i mean cmon..

As a fan from back in 2015 that just started watching your videos again for the first time since Covid, I think this was a really cool thing to come out and say
Content cop never came across as cruel, it came off as valid criticism that was portrayed in a comedic way. There's no need for apologies
The only content cops i would say were kinda unnecessary were the toy reviews channels, food review channels and tech destruction channels. Basically attacking and critising a genre and not a problematic person.
Naw the leafy one was kinda cruel
He was calling who people out who 100% deserved to be called out on their bullshit.
@@SqueakyBaluga I mean practice what you preach right? He had it coming.
@@garfield9150 Agreed on that, also on howtoprankitup
Your Content Cop videos were fun and mostly justifiable. Your dunk on Keemstar, Leafy and Ricegum were glorious and fun to watch because they made youtube dramas back then fun and opening segments were funny.
Edit: Also, I am okay if you decided to stop making Content Cop. I just think your newer videos aren't interesting or fun enough. You even "work" with a grifter.
He never made a content cop on RiceGum.
Just Asian Jake Paul
Agreed, those are still kinda bangers.
The Leafy one was justified, but the video was quite shit. Instead of focusing on issues, he was just chin shaming. Which is why exactly he was having a content cop on leafy. The rest were great though.
Leafy was pretty much the same as Idubbbz

@BendOverAndCoff watch the video. Ian talks about how making those videos was bad and that's why he's allegedly delisting them all.
It's not lame to say "I've acquired empatht at 32 y/o", it's something to celebrate. I've met so many people, younger and older than you, that double down on their harmful (to themselves and others) ways of living, even in the face of actually seeing the harm they've done. And I wish more people would be open to the idea of being wrong and also being able to make it right for others and themselves. I hope you continue to celebrate your personal achievements, especially the ones that take into account gaining more empathy, kindness, and in general being good for others and standind up to injustice against minorities and people in need. The best we can do imho is to take care of each other, and hold ourselves accountable for the purpose of improving always. It might not be entertainint, but it's what we need in the world right now.

Not being ironic, im being actually serious. Whats in the box was always my favorite thing you have ever made.
Same here. Genuinely so entertaining
that content was just as edgy as his content cop's though. Half the punchlines were slurs or bigotry which is antithetical to Ian's point about how he wants to apologize for his bigoted content which just so happens to be 99% of his catalogue before Full Force and youtuber boxing. His success was being edgy and he wants to kick the ladder out from getting big doing content cops now that he has youtuber boxing to carry his income.
yup, that shit was absolutely hilarious
@@Groovieboneslmao what? He changed way before boxing, I’d say right after the last content cop is when his content started changing, the man was making videos on how to save squirrels and find coins in his yard, maybe full force and boxing were the popular videos that brought it to your attention, but they were definitely not the turning point to say that all the content before it was “99%” edgy

we both disagree with the last statement, that the changes in content are a "downhill slide in quality". I never liked any of the deranged idubbbz antics myself. I don't miss the old idubbbz.
but it's definitely true that the same force that brought the slurs also brought every other crazy deranged goof.
art is weird. it's based on impulses. idubbbz' creative impulses have changed and those changes lead to new outcomes. Being embarrassed by your past use of slurs comes from a new outlook on life. One that won't lead you to eat pickles in a sewer.
The thing to argue over is whether those changes are for the best.
