Content Cop - Where Are They Now? 

This video was made at a time where I had not yet known Etika. Not long after this I got the opportunity to meet him in person, apologize, and later I started enjoying his content. Each Nintendo direct I anticipated watching his hilarious reactions and takes. As time passed, I saw him go through his mental issues and felt horrible knowing how much he must have been suffering. Now, I feel even worse after his passing. Those comments made in this video were out of ignorance of who Etika was at the time, they are a blemish on me and they don’t represent how I grew to know and appreciate who Etika was and what he did. That is why Ive decided to edit out my comments referring to him as simply “overreacting”. Etika stood for much more than that and he brought joy and laughter to millions of people including myself. I want to honor his legacy, not tarnish it.

Content cop doesn't ruin careers he ruins reputation

I would not touch Onision with a 10 foot pole. I don't like the dude but arguing with him would be like arguing with a 12 year old who thinks they're a genius.

Ian refuses to do a content cop on Onision. Onision already got his karma and his channel is now dead. A content cop would refuel his channel and allow Onision to continue with his predatory schemes.

Idubbbz goal isn’t to “roast”, the original point of content cop was to critique certain channels.

I like Ian's content cop series. I was excited he did one on how to prank it up. It was funny bc it focused on my channel not "me" as a person. Content cop did not destroy my channel. My inactivity and stagnation did. RU-vid's algorithm rewards consistent uploads. Less than 2 months after CC, on October 6th 2016, my son was diagnosed with Leukemia, blood cancer. My focus has been on his recovery. We just crossed our one year milestone. 2 more to go. He is a F'ing rock star ⭐️ so proud of him & how strong he is. I filmed a few vlogs & videos, but it's way harder to film for youtube when all your focus is on something else. Family first, always. I'll be back 😎 #AlexanderStrong #LiveInspired #ShockTheWorld

He protecc He atacc But most importantly What we do here is go bacc

Things that happen after he stopped content cop , Logan showed a dead body Tanacon happened Filthy frank stopped uploading Fouseycon happened Logan vs ksi. Please come back content cop

I think the point of Content Cop is to not end careers, but rather bring people undeserving of the attention out of the spot light. Those channels may have survived after Idubbz covered them, but none of them have made a big splash ever since.

It gets kind of annoying when people say content cop is meant to "destroy careers". That's not what he is trying to do...

Content Cop is not there for the express intent to kill channels, even though it's often been given the "channel killer" label. It's mostly there to point out either 1. generally poor content (Jinx/Keemstar/food review/toy review) 2. hypocrisy (Tana/Ricegum) or 3. general douchebaggery (Ricegum/Leafy). Often times the targets lose plenty of subs up front but rarely actually die out because for every person educated by Content Cop, there's five 12 year olds standing in line to subscribe. In short, it's mostly there to bring awareness to not only the content creator's audience but the creator themselves. If you accept the criticisms and try to better yourself and your content, you'll be fine. If you reinforce everything iDubbbz says in the episode, as Ricegum is currently doing, it only serves to solidify the criticisms and people's negative view of you.

When you hear “What we do here is go back” and another channel just dies

*Content Cop Order* Jinx 1:07 The Fine Bros 3:50 Keemstar 4:56 HowToPrankItUp 6:27 Leafy 7:51 Tana Mongoose 9:17 RiceCum 11:02

one of the things that should be appreciated about Content Cop the most is that Idubbbz makes one only when he deems necessary. He knows its by far the most popular thing on his channel - and if he wanted to he could pop out 1 every week to cash in. But because he uses this power responsibly - he always leaves us wanting more, and that is a clever move.

This nigga done hit the youtube algorithm congrats bro your channel is blowing up

Idubbz wouldn't do a content cop on Markiplier. The man does charity streams every month, and gives all the money from his merch to people in need. I don't think Ian would make one on him, although he's joked about it before.

I don't feel like idubbbz was there to sway public opinions and crush people's career, but call people out on their bs

Short answer: In the grave

Wow this is a really well made video. Good stuff, Glink.

Idubbbz is like the Gordon Ramsay of RU-vid... Wait....

*12 year old boys* *puts a picture of andy*

id love to see him go after onision but like, that guy doesnt need more views

Top 10 Brutal Anime Deaths

The LeafyIsHere portion of this video has not aged well.

Keem was losing subs for a long time after the content cop on him. He was stuck at around 1.6M subs for a good 6months. It was only when he started covering Jake Paul and all the 12 year olds subbed to him from that, this boosting him massively up to 2M+ Great video though glink, this will blow up

You misunderstands it a little... ContentCop isn't about destroying some ones channel, it's about pointing bad things and making conent better way :)

In defense of etika, he said in the beginning he's not uploading it to youtube (because he's a streamer), it's on whoever uploads it. Don't skip out on info like that dude

*"You bite the peach, the peach bites back!"*

Dude, Etika didn't even uploaded his reaction to iDubbbz's video, a different channel highlighted his reaction from his stream.

"The question is... Who's next?" *A M E R I C A N R I C E G U M*

Etika ain't a React channel, Etika ain't a News Channel, my boy etika is a Minecraft channel.

Idubbz is like RU-vids version of Thanos he can wipe any channel out of existens with a snap of his fingers

People have a misconception as to what Content Cop is. Ian doesn't set out in trying to end someone's channel. He just points out content he doesn't like and why he thinks its shit. It is like a persuasive essay on why something is bad. Whether people stop watching those channels or not is up to them, but that's not the aim of the series. I seriously doubt Ian had any intention to end RiceGum's (or anyone elses) careers. It's all after the fact.

In times of terrible content Idubbbz is the cop we need. The guardian and justice of RU-vid.

How does one kill a God? By causing his worshipers to pray to someone else.

Tana .I'm not rascised Idubbbz. It's rewind time

Content cop on the Content cop

Keemstar survived because Scarce made a 2 month pause , and people needed to watch the news

Unfortunately, he said that he would not Content Cop Onision, even though he deserves it the most

I would love to see logan and jake being content coped

No, no. Don't get it Twisted. Keemstar has changed A LOT since that Content Cop. If he didn't, he would be a dead channel. Mission Accomplished by Idubbbz

Who's next? Hopefully KSI

You didn't mention that all the channels that idubbbz made a content cop on are still getting thousands of dislikes daily. Thy way i see it, content cop shouldn't be seen as "bomb" that can destroy a channel, but rather as a permanent sickness that make you lose all credibility, turns you into the laughing stock of the internet, slowly kills your channel (not in all cases) and ruins your future prospects of any major collabs with any youtuber. AND the hate never actually goes away. Trust me, if idubbbz even as much as mentioned keemstar on twitter nowadays or criticized him in any way. All the hate and dislikes would automatically come back and his channel would start dying again.

It makes me uncomfortable hearing “criticise” and “roast” used in the same sentence.

On an H3 podcast iDubbbz voiced his regret of the Fine Bros content cop, because of the lack in entertainment value. He felt that he didn't contribute anything new to the topic.

forgot food reviewers - content cop!

RIP rice gum. That content cop was brutal and well deserved. The diss track at the end was amazing.

Little did we know how the tables would turn

Can you take like one step to your right

He doesn't do content cops to ruin careers or destroy people. That isn't the goal. He just makes fun of people for the entertainment of others.

#JOYCONBOYS Failing to try to portray Etika as a reaction channel 2:55 and 3:30. I know what you are trying to say but its conveying Etika as a reaction channel, even though he's not. First thats not Etikas channel it said Yourstreams. This is Etikas channel ru-vid.com and its not a reaction channel. He didn't make a fallowing on RU-vid from reactions like jinx. He made a fallowing from gaming, Nintendo gaming, rapping, and etc. So that clip didn't make sense at all in that topic and also that insult didn't make sense either. Another thing those are stream highlight, from a fan. This is also the stream where he raise money and donated it to the Los Vegas fund and thats what the stream highlight doesn't show. Finally he watch the video before it was taken down by youtube. So I do recommend for you to look things up before you make videos. Still good video but needs to be fixed.

Bruh got the Weezer vinyl sitting on the game cubeeee.. Middle school nostalgia activated.

i kinda respect etika though, he added 20 minutes and talked about the video for about 30 minutes after, the fact that it was a livestream i feel that it was more substanced

Leafy wasn't a simple RU-vid bully "for years" when idubbz went in. He started as a story time youtuber before that format was really very popular or as horrible as it is now. He was already gaining subscribers and traction when he made a video reacting to another video and "roasting it". This video did very well and he began to make more of these, while still making his normal content. Slowly this harassing content became more popular on his channel and he started doing these reactions almost exclusively. I started watching leafy before he hit 10k subs and watched him slowly blow up. I stopped watching him and began to hate everything about his channel when he started doing his shitty reaction videos. I felt betrayed and angry at Calvin, because I participated in the hiss meme, because I watched his videos every day, and to me, that's why the content cop struck home. I was just angry and disgruntled because of how his channel deteriorated. Most people don't know that or choose not to talk about it at all when discussing leafy so I just thought I'd tell a little story :)

I think you missed a few points. Some of those channels, like Keemstar, may not have lost subscribers but they either lost some significant viewers, making those "dead subs" or have actually morphed their content according to his criticisms. If i recall Leafy and Keemstar took a few of his points into their content and actually updated their format to some of his points, which isnt necessarily a "sway in public opinion" but it is a sway into the youtuber themselves, be it in their format or, in Tana's case, a straight up apology. Ultimately their content, according to people who keep up with them, got better even if their channels didnt die. The ones that didnt, or couldnt because their format was already a dead end, couldnt do much about it. But Content Cop, even if he didnt kill the channels, did have an impact in some way, that wasnt necessarily related to the number of subscribers.

This didn't exactly age well in terms of Ricegum or Leafy.

WOAH DID YOU JUST HIT ON THE JOYCON BOYZ LEADER!?!? NANI

12 year old boys *Shows picture of a 41 year old*

He should do one on himself, infinite subs

Ian’s goal isn’t to destroy those people’s careers, he’s said it himself.

wait isn't Erika doing the reaction ON stream and not on a video like everyone else, hell i think that wasn't the point of the stream i think it was a "chill" stream

Whos that Pokemon??

guys, he was not roasting etika on being a reaction youtuber. He was showing an example of a clip of him overreacting to something, similar to how other reaction youtubers react. Ironically it was a reaction to idubbzzz

R.I.P. Desmond "Etika" Amofah

Etika's reaction actually wasn't bad. He overdid a lot of shit, but he predicted the majority of iDubbbz's points before he made them, and actually supplied some of his own knowledge. He also addressed at the beginning of the reaction that he was only doing it for the stream, because he realized exactly how ironic it was for some black guy to be doing another RU-vid reaction, to an iDubbbz content cop of all things. The channel that uploaded the reaction that you showed isn't owned by him, but some other random dude who just uploads a bunch of clips from his stream. Reactions are pretty cancer most of the time, but I think for something like content cop it's pretty appropriate, since everyone is asking everyone else what they thought about it, and how the whole situation was going to resolve itself. It's in these situations where one might be interested in the opinions of others because this content cop may actually have some lasting consequences. I just spent way too much time defending a reaction, but rest assured the dude didn't make any direct money off of it, and his only benefit will be those that discovered him that way, and stuck with him because they enjoyed the rest of his content. The only major harm done was done by the channel that recorded his stream for over an hour, and got a million views off of Etika's reaction, and the ad revenue won't go to anyone except the asshat that hit the record button.

Etika's fans upload his streams. He doesn't do it himself.

he doesn't intend for the Content Cops to "Take Down" a RU-vidr. He just reveals the shitty side of these people and critiques them. As far as i can remember he never says he plans to "take down youtubers" in his content cops. It is the viewers/other youtubers who continue to say the Content Cop series are "take down" videos.

Content chiropractor where he lifts up under rated channels

I'm a simple human. I see iDubbbz and click.

Actually a sick video mate. Usually don't like these thing but this was good.

Etika makes original content he doesn't upload reaction videos or anything of the sort. The clip of him was taken out of a live stream which wasn't uploaded to his channel he doesn't steal content nor is he obnoxious. Again, the clip used of him was taken entirely out of context.

"was a reaction channel" *"was"*

Did you just call Etika a reaction channel? Nani

Even if Leafy is recovering in terms of subscribers, when you look at the views he gets per video in comparison to his peak 1-2 years ago, it's astonishing.

Scarce disappering and Jake paul and the vloggers are the only reason keem survived

"Leafys response was considered to be pretty weak" JUST LIKE HIS CHIN AM I RIGHT!?!?!

Oh shit, my comment is in this video. nice

my boi Etika aint a reaction channel

I think a onision content cop is reaching for low hanging fruit.

You just have a Weezer album sitting on a gamecube in the background? I can't help but respect you, man.

Good, fairly impartial summary. Nice job!

Etika didn't even make that video for RU-vid. He watched it on stream and a random fan uploaded it. He is by no means a reactor. And I wish people would stop lumping all reactions and reactors into the same category. h3h3 is a reactor. It can be done correctly. Not every reactor is a Jinx.

Ice Poseidon content cop. I can only imagine the horror

That shirt shouldn’t say “It’s about that time”, it should say: “It’s about that GRIII- Four videos a day, nonstop editing, I’m like an animator, sittin’ here trying to figure out how to put this f*ckin’ video in the corner GRIND MAD GRIND 24 hours a day, seven days a week, nothing but GRIND IM ON THE GRIND My house? This ain’t a normal house, this a GRIND HOUSE

Wait but Etika didn't even upload that video. His stream wanted him to watch it and someone recorded his reaction on stream and uploaded it

"12 year old boys" AND ITS ANDY MILONAKIS AHAHAHHAAH

Tana mongyeau?

I mean etika is a hype beast, there's a reason why he's one of the best live streamers. His over hyping is the reason why people find his content enjoyable.

Why am I watching Russel Wilson talk about a guy who talks about other guys? What am I doing with my life?

That wasn't Etika's content, his fans asked him to watch it in his livestream and his fans uploaded it to RU-vid for views, not him.

I didn't know GamerFromMars had a skinnier brother.

"You can directly see the impact Content Cop has on swaying the popular opinion of even the most well-established and admired channels" alright can you remind me of the conclusions that you've made? - Jinx - was already hated - Fine Bros - not affected - Keemstar - not affected - Howtoprankitup - kinda worked - Leafy - was already hated - Tana - not affected - Ricescum - not affected So you're stating that Content Cop (aka "HUGE GAMECHANGER") is the prominent force on youtube, that destroys other channels, but in the same video earlier stated that 86% of its targets were either not affected or already hated. ok.

Maybe the next content cop is going to be on viners

ETIKA is a streamer. His viewers WANT him to react. His channel is built off of his fans so he will do what his fans ask. He dosnt upload these videos, people clip them from his streams.

really dude you're going to put an etika clip for "reaction videos" when that was a livestream, and he specifically said not to make it a video. that wasn't even etika's channel, it's a random channel that steals his content

3:10 in .25 speed play and pause quick you will see it

Etika that's a reach lmfaoo

I think VeganGains is very likely. I don't think JackSepticEye, Markiplier or GradeAUnderA did anything really bad, like yeah, Grade lied about uploading regularly, Mark cries too much on camera and Jack is loud and obnoxious but all in all, they seem like perfectly fine people

KSI is next.
