Carter's ''Content Cop'' series highlights other YouTube channels, and critiques their content. ''Content Cop'' has sparked controversy in the YouTube community due to the controversial nature of it. Frequently, after a ''Content Cop'' video is released, the subject that is criticized loses a significant amount of subscribers and their like-to-dislike ratio lowers. Carter has done ''Content Cops'' on a variety of YouTube personalities such as Daniel Keem, known online as Keemstar,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o3TfHjj_e4&t=546s|title=Content Cop – KEEMSTAR|first=|last=iDubbbzTV|date=May 5, 2016|publisher=|via=YouTube}}</ref> LeafyIsHere,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4XahX7cuU8&t=5s|title=Content Cop – Leafy|first=|last=iDubbbzTV|date=September 12, 2016|publisher=|via=YouTube}}</ref> [[Draft:Tana Mongeau|Tana Mongeau]]<ref name="CCTM">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8vaJaFCFYA|title=Content Cop – Tana Mongeau|first=|last=iDubbbzTV|date=February 6, 2017|publisher=|via=YouTube}}</ref> and [[RiceGum]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bukzXzsG77o&t=5s|title=Content Cop – Jake Paul|first=|last=iDubbbzTV|date=October 3, 2017|publisher=|via=YouTube}}</ref><ref name="dailydot" />

In May 2016, iDubbbz released a ''Content Cop'' video on Daniel Keem, better known as [[Keemstar]], and his channel DramaAlert.<ref name=":3" /> According to ''[[The Daily Beast]]'', iDubbbz accused Keemstar of using DramaAlert to "promote his friends and punish his enemies".<ref name=":3" /> In response, Keem called the ''Content Cop'' video "entertaining" and denied wanting to attack other YouTubers, saying he has "no problem booking guests or landing exclusive interviews".<ref name=":3">{{cite news|last1=Lorenz|first1=Taylor|title=How DramaAlert Became the TMZ of YouTube|url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-drama-alert-became-the-tmz-of-youtube|newspaper=The Daily Beast|access-date=January 27, 2018|language=en|date=January 18, 2018}}</ref>
His first Content Cop was released on December 2015 and targeted reaction YouTuber Jinx Reload.<ref>{{Citation|last=iDubbbzTV|title=Content Cop – Busting JINX RELOAD|date=December 13, 2015|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrhWjEoRuBA|accessdate=February 27, 2018}}</ref> In the video, he criticized his original videos being [[cringe]]worthy (namely the video ''How to get YouTube Famous,'' his parody interviews where he interviews pop stars and their responses are the vocals to the interviewee's songs, and ''Cartoons in the Hood''), the fact that he hasn't improved the visual quality beyond [[720p]] (claiming it was so he could upload more frequently), and his reactions.<sup>[need sources]</sup>


In October 2017, iDubbbz uploaded a video titled "Content Cop – Jake Paul", which has over 50 million views as of May 2021 before it got removed.<ref name="dailydot1" /> However, the 31-minute video was not about the YouTube personality [[Jake Paul]], but instead it was about [[RiceGum]].<ref name="dailydot1" /> in the video, iDubbbz analyzes and critiques RiceGum in a format inspired by the [[seven deadly sins]].<ref name="dailydot1"/> Released along with the ''Content Cop'' episode, iDubbbz released a music video for a [[diss track]] of RiceGum titled "[[Asian Jake Paul]]",<ref name="dailydot1" /> which featured [[Boyinaband]]. The song has over 85 million views as of August 2021. The song peaked at number 24 on the [[Billboard charts#R&B/Hip-Hop|R&B/Hip-hop Digital Song Sales]] chart.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/boyinaband/chart-history/rbt/|title=Boyinaband Asian Jake Paul Chart History|magazine=Billboard}}</ref> RiceGum responded with several videos, including "Frick Da Police", a response diss track, and a 22-minute video response.<ref name="dailydot1" /> iDubbbz responded with a follow-up video titled "Content Deputy – AJP" rebutting RiceGum's responses, featuring a comedic cameo by rapper [[Post Malone]], and stating that this would be his final response to the situation.<ref name="dailydot1" />
In May 2016, Carter released a ''Content Cop'' on Daniel Keem of DramaAlert. In the video, he accused Keem of threatening big YouTubers with negative coverage and promoting small channels or accusing them of hiding something. Carter called Keem a "very rash decision maker" and showed clips of Keem saying what he called "really regrettable shit". In response, Keem called the ''Content Cop'' video "entertaining" and denied wanting to attack other YouTubers, saying he has "no problem booking guests or landing exclusive interviews". Keem also apologized for the comments and incidents he caused, but justified saying '[[nigger]]' by using a [[genealogical DNA test]] to prove he is nine percent black.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Lorenz|first1=Taylor|title=How DramaAlert Became the TMZ of YouTube|url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-drama-alert-became-the-tmz-of-youtube|website=The Daily Beast|accessdate=January 27, 2018|language=en|date=January 18, 2018}}</ref>


In late 2019, three years after iDubbbz's ''Content Cop'' episode on [[LeafyIsHere]], YouTube removed the video as a consequence of the website's updated policies on harassment and bullying.<ref name="Leafboi" /><ref name="Vox">{{cite web|url=https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/12/13/21012611/youtube-coppa-changes-harassment-policy-backlash|title=YouTube just made sweeping positive changes to its harassment policy.

Referring to Carter's controversial past use of the word 'nigger', storytime YouTuber Tana Mongeau criticized him on Snapchat, and controversially wrote to Carter on [[Twitter]], "so 3 million ppl subscribe to u and u openly say the n-word and retard???? Kill yourself."<ref name="DDTM" /> Mongeau also said she would be "genuinely happy" if Carter were to "break both of his legs and lose all of his subscribers".<ref name="blastingnews">{{cite web|last1=News|first1=Blasting|title=YouTuber iDubbbz publicly slams Tana Mongeau in new 'Content Cop' video|url=http://us.blastingnews.com/showbiz-tv/2017/02/youtuber-idubbbz-publicly-slams-tana-mongeau-in-new-content-cop-video-001409487.html|website=Blasting News|accessdate=January 27, 2018}}</ref> On January 21, Carter confronted Tana Mongeau at a VIP [[wikt:meet-and-greet|meet-and-greet]] session in [[San Francisco]]. Carter posed for a photo with Mongeau while wearing her merch, "locked his arm" around her neck, "gave a cheesy grin" and instead of saying "[[say cheese]]" he said "say nigger", having the whole event filmed by his girlfriend. This resulted in Tana reacting unfavorably and Carter being escorted off the premises by security. Three days later, Mongeau uploaded a video titled "N-Word" describing the encounter. Carter subsequently did a ''Content Cop'' on Mongeau, accusing her of hypocrisy by showing videos of Mongeau using the word 'nigger' in the past. However, Carter defended his use of the word, claiming the significance of the context in which the word is used.<ref name="kotaku">{{cite web|last1=Hernandez|first1=Patricia|title=Pewdiepie's Shock Humor Is Par For The Course On YouTube|url=https://kotaku.com/pewdiepies-shock-humor-is-par-for-the-course-on-youtube-1792391190|website=Kotaku|accessdate=January 27, 2018}}</ref><ref name="DDTM" /> Carter also criticized Mongeau's social activity as well as the embellishment of her stories.<ref name="blastingnews" /> The ''Content Cop'' video received 4.2 million views in the first two days.

On April 6, 2017, popular YouTuber and rapper [[RiceGum]] tweeted that he would like to watch a Content Cop on him.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ricegum/status/850117415115476992?lang=en|title=RiceGum on Twitter|author=|date=|website=twitter.com|accessdate=May 2, 2018}}</ref> In October 2017, Carter uploaded a video titled "Content Cop – Jake Paul". The 31-minute video was not about Disney actor and YouTube personality [[Jake Paul]], but about RiceGum. In the video, Carter called him "Asian Jake Paul"; this was also the name of the diss track Carter released with the video. Carter explained that he hadn't had to "give [RiceGum] the satisfaction of having his name in the title or his face in the thumbnail". Carter began the video by mocking an Asian accent and face expressions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/worst-youtube-channels/|title=Forget Logan Paul—these 6 wildly popular YouTube pranksters are worse|author=|date=January 23, 2018|website=dailydot.com|accessdate=May 2, 2018}}</ref> In the video, Carter analyzes and criticizes RiceGum in a format consisting of the [[seven deadly sins]] (though he later says it's merely seven topics and that he "just wanted to be cute"). RiceGum responded with several videos, including "[[List of most-disliked YouTube videos|Frick Da Police]]", a response diss track, and a 22-minute video response, both of which were received mixed to negatively. RiceGum pointed out Carter's previous use of foul language, but praised the ''Content Cop'' video. The ''Content Cop'' video gained 20 million views in the first two weeks. It led to a backlash on RiceGum for his comments to a rape victim, to whom he apologized. Carter again responded to RiceGum with a final video titled "Content Deputy – AJP" rebutting RiceGum's response, at the end of which rapper [[Post Malone]] cameoed.<ref name="dailydot">{{cite web|url=https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/idubbbz-ricegum-feud/|title=Feud between YouTube stars uncovers disturbing jokes about racism and rape|date=October 18, 2017|publisher=''[[The Daily Dot]]''}}</ref>. Another YouTuber named "salt" uploaded a video titled "ricegum... just stop" which revealed her opinions on the matter.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y1Roy3lVAo|title=ricegum... just stop|last=|first=|date=|website=YouTube|publisher=salt|access-date=}}</ref> She had a similar response to Carter's content deputy but also commented on RiceGum's diss track (which Ian only briefly mentioned and merely saying it wasn't good); criticizing the overuse of [[ad hominem]], several occasions of RiceGum criticizing the fact that Ian made a Content Cop on him despite the fact that he "asked for it", continuity and consistency errors between the previous response and the diss track (which she described as evidence against RiceGum's claim that he has no [[Ghostwriter]]), and him constantly "flexing" and showing off his net worth. She also briefly criticized the quality of the opening text of the diss track by saying they're bad. On November 24, 2017, Carter's along with many other YouTubers channels were mysteriously taken down and then reinstated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://metro.co.uk/2017/11/24/youtube-stars-wrongfully-banned-from-video-site-after-mysterious-glitch-shut-down-their-accounts-7105040/|title=Something very strange is going on with YouTube and its 'enforcement system'|author=|date=November 24, 2017|website=metro.co.uk|accessdate=May 2, 2018}}</ref>


In May 2023, iDubbbz unlisted the ''Content Cop'' videos after releasing a video titled ''"I miss the old iDubbbz"'' on his main channel. In the video, he apologizes to each creator he criticized in the series (with an emphasis on the ''Content Cop'' video he made on Tana Mongeau) for harassing them and inciting harassment from his fans.

Ian Kane Jomha ( Washburn;[c] born (1990-10-01)October 1, 1990), known online as iDubbbz, is an American YouTube personality. The creator of the YouTube channels iDubbbzTV, iDubbbzTV2, and iDubbbzgames, he is best known for his comedy video series, including Content Cop, Bad Unboxing and Kickstarter Crap, his collaborations with numerous other creators and recent foray into boxing and documentary filmmaking. His 2017 diss track "Asian Jake Paul" charted and peaked at number 24 on Billboard's US R&B/HH Digital Song Sales chart.[11]

Career

iDubbbz has been credited for making several videos and cameos that became Internet memes.[12]

Content Cop

iDubbbz's Content Cop series highlights other YouTube channels, critiquing their content as well as their owner's behavior on social media.[3][4] From December 2015 to October 2017, iDubbbz released Content Cop episodes on a wide variety of YouTube personalities, including LeafyIsHere,[6] Tana Mongeau,[5] and RiceGum.[3]

In May 2016, iDubbbz released a Content Cop video on Daniel Keem, better known as Keemstar, and his channel DramaAlert.[13] According to The Daily Beast, iDubbbz accused Keemstar of using DramaAlert to "promote his friends and punish his enemies".[13] In response, Keem called the Content Cop video "entertaining" and denied wanting to attack other YouTubers, saying he has "no problem booking guests or landing exclusive interviews".[13]

In October 2017, iDubbbz uploaded a video titled "Content Cop – Jake Paul", which has over 50 million views as of May 2021 before it got removed.[3] However, the 31-minute video was not about the YouTube personality Jake Paul, but instead it was about RiceGum.[3] in the video, iDubbbz analyzes and critiques RiceGum in a format inspired by the seven deadly sins.[3] Released along with the Content Cop episode, iDubbbz released a music video for a diss track of RiceGum titled "Asian Jake Paul",[3] which featured Boyinaband. The song has over 85 million views as of August 2021. The song peaked at number 24 on the R&B/Hip-hop Digital Song Sales chart.[14] RiceGum responded with several videos, including "Frick Da Police", a response diss track, and a 22-minute video response.[3] iDubbbz responded with a follow-up video titled "Content Deputy – AJP" rebutting RiceGum's responses, featuring a comedic cameo by rapper Post Malone, and stating that this would be his final response to the situation.[3]

In late 2019, three years after iDubbbz's Content Cop episode on LeafyIsHere, YouTube removed the video as a consequence of the website's updated policies on harassment and bullying.[6][7]

iDubbbz in 2022

In May 2023, iDubbbz unlisted the Content Cop videos after releasing a video titled "I miss the old iDubbbz" on his main channel. In the video, he apologizes to each creator he criticized in the series (with an emphasis on the Content Cop video he made on Tana Mongeau) for harassing them and inciting harassment from his fans. He also apologized for creating "hurtful and damaging content" and "cultivating a culture of apathy and cruelty" through the Content Cop video about Mongeau, and his use of racial slurs.[15]

Creator Clash

In January 2022, iDubbbz announced Creator Clash, a celebrity boxing charity event that took place on May 14, 2022.[16] Notable participants included Doctor Mike, Harley Morenstein from Epic Meal Time, Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson from Game Grumps, along with Matt Watson, Nathan Barnatt, TheOdd1sOut, I did a thing, and Michael Reeves.[16] It was later announced that streamers Esfand and Cr1TiKaL would join as interviewer and color commentator respectively.[17] On May 14, the event was held at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, and was also livestreamed.[17] Creator Clash was held in 2022 and 2023 for charity, with the latter failing to raise any money for charity.

Personal life

iDubbbz was born Ian Kane Washburn on October 1, 1990.[18][19] He attended California State University San Marcos and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Business Management.[20] Although his parents encouraged him to get a job, by the time he had graduated his YouTube channel had grown to the point where it became economically viable to pursue it as a full-time career.[20]

In March 2020, many of iDubbbz's fans took to social media after his girlfriend, Anisa Jomha, announced her OnlyFans on Twitter.[8] Responding to the remarks of fans accusing him of being a "simp", he stated, "I love my girlfriend, and I'm totally fine with it. It doesn't affect me. If you are upset by me admitting this, then I suggest you go idolize someone else."[8] In April 2021, iDubbbz and Jomha announced their engagement.[9] They married on June 28, 2021,[21] and he took her surname.[22][23]
