The combination of political/cultural controversies and laxed guidelines just made 2015-2017 KZfaq so savage, yet soo glorious. Man, I miss those days.

I think we should clarify that content cop was never a channel killer just a reputation killer you either have to work super hard or never be respected again

I love how idubbbz made fun of leafy banning the words chin and idubbbz on his video, but now on his latest video he has Sam Hyde as a banned word.

keemstar taking the content cop in stride and not trying to fight it was honestly the best thing he could've done

I’ll never forget the Tana one that shit was fucking gold he played her so goddamn hard and she literally couldn’t have taken the bait harder

I'll always miss this era of KZfaq.

Wild to me how people consider 2015-2017 youtube as old school and relaxed. I always felt it was more 2007-2012

“Only a matter of time before he got into a battle he couldn’t win” enter: Sam Hyde.

I remember when Content Cop felt like an event. Like, as soon as one came out, you had to be on that shit. I kinda miss those days. But maybe not.

I'm holding onto the fantasy that he's making one more and taking his sweet time with it. Content Cop: KZfaq.

Keemstar's entire personality is just "Yeah, I'm a shitty person. What are you gonna do about it?" The content cop was a blow for sure, but ultimately didn't do much to him. Still going strong despite the fact that almost everyone hates him.

Crazy to think about this era, specifically Filthy Frank, MaxMoeFoe, and Idubbz and how they all branched off from their original content together. Frank becoming a top music artist, Max and Anything4views starting an australian drinking show, Idubbz making content cop, then full on documentaries on obscure people, to hosting a KZfaqr MMA fight. Truly a batch of legends that were all at one point playing torture twister and eating a cake made from idubbz hair, and all of this history documented on KZfaq to go back and watch. Absolutely amazing.

i remember the time when i first saw ricegum's content cop it was just like a youtube event to me

What I always loved about idubbbz is that he always knew how to get under someone's skin enough to get a reaction from them that literally proved his point in his video.

ngl i find it remarkable that Anisa having an OF was MORE controversial than her justifying the holocaust and saying CP isn't that big of a deal lol

He really dropped the ball by not doing one on himself

So glad I was able to witness these videos in real time. Let’s peep this out

I still remember getting the notification for the ricegum content cop and watching it with my friends at lunch at school, we all fucking gasped like a movie when he revealed it wasnt actually about jake

It's so bittersweet watching this knowing how insecure Ian is about his content now. He really had a perfect model and dropped it for nothing.

I’m also 100% certain that the Sam Hyde documentary was gonna be a content cop until Sam completely undercut Ian in every way possible.

Ian in the sewer is iconic and will never not be funny

I do understand why Idubbbz retired the series, but KZfaq needed (and still does) a KZfaqr who is willing to call out others and their bullshit.

This was honestly such a trip down memory lane. Amazing video.

I personally believe that Content Cop is what inspired KZfaq to start monitoring more of what’s put on the site

When a "Content Cop" dropped, everyone I knew would buzz with excitement. It would be all anyone on KZfaq would talk about for a month. The reason was simple: IDUBBZ was both brutal, and concise with his criticism. Couple that with his documentary like editing, & edgy humor, and you're left with a fun show. I'm not gonna sit here, & pretend I really cared if any of the people he tore down deserved it. He does a great enough job saying why in his videos. The main reason I think we all enjoyed watching it, was because it's fun seeing someone you think of as a jackass, getting publicly embarrassed. It's an ugly, sticky feeling that's in just about everyone. There's a word for it called Schadenfreude. The experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another. In the case of Leafy, Keemstar, Tana Mango, Ricegum, etc--- it felt good seeing them taken down a peg. That's about it.

He was the right guy at the right place at the right time. And very, very funny.

It's kinda crazy how his girlfriend became his downfall through the OnlyFans announcement. Ever since that announcement his channel just didn't pick up the same notoriety as it usually did. In the grand scheme of things that announcement probably didn't deter real fans from watching him anyway, but it just feels like the KZfaq drama era ended on that footnote. Afterwards channels like H3H3 also fell out of popularity.

Tana Mongeau looks hotter than Idubbbz’s wife lol

I think somehow content cop always felt bigger. When you broke it down I was shocked at how few there actually are, maybe that just speaks to the insane amount of effort put into the production of each one

Funnily enough, we're seeing a sort of resurgence of Jinx type content with twitch streamers these days. Funny how history likes to repeat itself.

I wish I was living on the timeline where Idubbz makes a Hasan content cop

i miss old youtube and mullet-free idubbz

RIP all of the all of the insects that were sent to him from his unboxing series

Once they started enforcing such strict censorship, I was always surprised at how little content creators tried to fight it. If enough big channels had protested, I don’t think it would be as bad.

All jokes aside I genuinely appreciate both your content and the fact you actually research the subject/topic as much as you can and admit when you can't find s direct source to said subject keep up the good work bro

We need a time machine to go back and let old Ian do a content cop on his future self

Kinda sad how the best content on KZfaq now is just reminiscing on the past of KZfaq. Really goes to show how strict community guidelines gag creativity and fun.

"It's been 5 years since the last episode of Content Cop" EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

Incredibly well made man. First video of yours I’ve watched and man that was a good watch. Good shit Tom!

this hits different after everything thats happened

The content cop is still alive today with InternetAjay. He’s susing more creators than amogus

Man watching a Content Cop was an event back in the day, I still remember back in 2017 I watched Asian Jake Paul with all of my friends on my living room sitting down on the couch, some of them didn’t even knew about idubbbz but they were all so invested and entertained, I miss those days :,)

Everyone misses the Content Cops and the vids with Maxmoefoe and FIlthyFrank, but my favourite videos were always the bad unboxings, they were my favourite vids on youtube

Content Cop ended 5 years ago and I'm still waiting for another episode, damn.

Idubbbz today would be an hour long Content Cop for Idubbbz 5 years ago.

The battle that Idubbbz couldnt win arguably did end up happening when he tried to do his Sam Hyde documentary.

Idubbz had it all but he dropped the facade and supported his girlfriends onlyfans witch whent against his character so he was just known as a simp and his reputation died. Truly ironic and almost karmic in a way.

This video is so awesome; thank you for the documentary format.

Damn, this video drowned me in nostalgia. I miss those days, where youtube was objectively much, much better than it is today.

Great video!! Never heard of you before but wanted to look back at Content Cop and found this. And while this has nothing to do with the content, I love your sign off. It took me completely off guard.

And now, the legendary idubbbz has turned into the very thing he'd make a content cop about.

I just appreciate that Ian was aware of the ramifications and still saw it imperative to make these videos. Dude used to sink ships just to kill the captain

Nice, another hour of comfy friday material RIGHT when I finish Josh's stream. Ty Poultry guy, very Baste(d).

You posted it a year ago but now... it is truly over.

Your outro always makes me laugh. "Until next time... leave me alone." It's genius!

I'm surprised that Ricegum has done so many terrible stuff yet he managed to keep going strong until he stopped making KZfaq and Twitch content.

The closest thing we can get to 'closing' that era of the KZfaq and Internet climate is this among other videos. Jolly good show.

Love your vids my dude. Don't really watch any of the folks you cover, but I was completely unaware of this side of youtube, and I've been on the platform since launch. It's great. Basically The "Basic B." segment of KZfaq...

The Content Cop will always be on of the first best web series on KZfaq forever and good video man :]

Dang so even in 2015 Ian was willing to get punched in the face for charity against someone who really doesn’t like him? He’s got balls. Dr Mike doesn’t hate him but he’s strong AND a boxer.. so that’s kind of scarier in a way haha

Sam Hyde is the progression of what Ian could have been and he is terrified

great video. getting an overview over the course of "content cop" was a nice addition to actually watching it.

2016-2017 will forever be the golden years of youtube.. I miss those days 😪

I don't know much about youtube lore but I look forward to every time you post. I'm one of those people who feel that stories for good or bad should be remembered. So yo I learned more today than I did yesterday and Just wanted to say ty for the hard work. I can only imagine how much time and research you put into these vids. Thank you Tom.

I haven’t enjoyed a documentary on a creator like this in so long, truly fun to watch and it was a totally unexpected video to find on my feed. Worth every minute.

This guys videos are full of facts and feel very non biased. Subbed

I love that you keep ADTR's Homesick CD next to your YT plaque and plush! Such a nostalgic album that I'll never get sick of!

2016-2017 internet truly was somethng else. I was 13 to 14 at the time, the perfect age for that era in the sense that everything felt so risky and edgy, which is something teenagers that age really like. I miss those days but at the same time I understand that an outsider would have a hard time trying to fit in

This was a really good video about a video series and each genre/creator covered in said series. Thanks for doing all the research and compiling it all into this video!

Leave when you're winning, don't fight if you're gonna loose. Some really good lessons to be learnt.

This was my MCU, i was so excited whenever a new content cop dropped

The way idubbbz portrays himself to the world is so much different now. I can't figure out which version of him is more like his real life personality. Like, is he an edgy edge lord, or is he a reserved nerdy guy with a mustache and glasses, who cares more about what advertisers and brands think than anything else? Is he somewhere in the middle? The world may never know....

it's like the idubbbz channel died the moment Ian grew that mustache

Retrospectives are the new JCS Inspired Real Crime, *and Im ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT*

His last Content Cop... was upon himself.

I still watch content cop to this day and I never thought he took a joke too far

i love these longer vids. with all the short vids recently i feel like i cant just sit down and enjoy something for a while. thanks for the good content

It is legitimately sad to see clips of Ian at his peak.

Hate to see all those great KZfaqrs from the 2016 era fall off.

Truly a shame Content Cop is over,but atleast we can appreciate the content cops we got in the past.Cause what we do here is go back back back back...

As to your point about Leafy's initial disappearance, EmpLemon's fantastic video on Leafy presents a pretty compelling theory that Leafy was an early victim of demonetization. To cut a long story very short, basically the theory poses KZfaq executives actually targeted Leafy's channel because of his content, slowly tweaking his video's visibility and more or less stopping his reach from extending upon his (then) core subscriber base. I definitely recommend checking it out, it's a pretty solid theory.

I miss the old ian

IDubbbz eating Arbys in a sewer and being dragged away by some homeless guy is more entertaining than any food review video I’ve ever seen.

Something that absolutely blows me away about the whole Jinx thing is that he and other channels like his were *universally despised* back then. Now damn near every single one of the top 10 Twitch streamers does the *exact* same thing as Jinx and people still love them. They're even worse. They don't even just watch KZfaq videos. They just straight up watch TV shows and movies. Sometimes, they aren't even there "reacting," they'll just straight up walk away for like 10 minutes at a time. That really shows just how far the online "influencer" world has fallen when things that were once universally despised are now praised. It really makes me sad. The thing is, most of the fans of Hasan, Pokimane, Toast, etc are too young to have even been around when Jinx was doing his thing.

I miss when KZfaq was actually fun to watch there still some good content creators like yourself.

That dropping the hard r right in front of her has that whole 'be ungovernable" vibe going for it.

This video has no value outside of being a nostalgia trip. Which I can appreciate

Hahaha 17:43 he's got the flag in the background when talking about the Fine Bros. And probably the funniest thing I remember Idubs doing was calling his calling his doctor a jew.

17:37 i had forgotten how edgy KZfaq used to be, nowadays this scene alone would've instantly put Ian in the ADL bad boys list. Also, Ian used to be the guy famous for saying nibberfabbot.

39:30 so her saying N-word years ago and then "growing up" is "hypocritical", but Ian doing that is absolutely fine...

This video made me sad. How the mighty have fallen

Still one of the greatest. From how it's written to how its shot. Truly an internet gem.

Made me feel old af when you said it ended five years ago I remember watching it like it was just last year still.

imagine making content calling out bad content and nefarious youtubers, than hanging out with H3........

Idubz went from chad to cuck in the matter of a thanos snap

These sets are absolutely incredible! It's insane how far TurkeyTom has come!

at least the smash community is eating good, technicals is basically our own content cop at this point except its more of a content detective

If I remember right, Ian said he stopped because he didn’t like the audience he accumulated from the content cops. The same audience who FREAKED the hell out about Anissa having an OF.

The keem star content cop is absolutely one of the best videos ever created on KZfaq. If there was a KZfaq HoF then that video should be in it
