The Return No One Expected: Ian “idubbbz” Carter has officially revived his iconic Content Cop series—only this time, the target isn’t a clout-hungry prankster or edgy commentator. It’s Ethan Klein, the longtime creator behind H3H3 Productions, and a man many considered one of iDubbbz’s few public allies.
Released on April 16, 2025, the new Content Cop video instantly ignited chaos across the YouTube community. The episode marked iDubbbz’s first installment in years, and it wasn’t a subtle comeback. His takedown of Klein was sharp, deeply personal, and politically charged—leaving fans torn between shock, anger, and popcorn-worthy fascination.
From Friends to Foes

What makes this Content Cop especially explosive is the history between the two creators. Klein had been one of iDubbbz’s most vocal defenders during his controversial rebrand, often backing him when other creators and fans turned away.
So when iDubbbz unleashed a 30-minute video attacking Klein’s credibility—highlighting what he called “inconsistent political takes” and a habit of seeking online validation—it felt, to many, like a betrayal.
Ethan defended him through thick and thin, and this is what he does? wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter). Another fumed, This is the worst option, wtf! Imagine doing this to one of the only people who supported you becoming a loser 💀.
Political Tensions & A Contentious Cameo
The video dives deep into Klein’s shifting views, especially surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict. iDubbbz calls out what he perceives as contradictions in Klein’s political stance, particularly in light of Klein’s own recent “Content Nuke” video targeting former collaborator HasanAbi.
Speaking of HasanAbi—his name didn’t just come up; he was listed as a contributor to the Content Cop episode, along with several other creators. That bombshell only added fuel to the fire, as viewers recalled the now-defunct Leftovers podcast that Hasan and Klein co-hosted before their public falling-out over Middle East politics.
The timing couldn’t be more dramatic. Just weeks ahead of Creator Clash 3, where Lena Ayad from the H3 team is set to appear, tensions across creator circles are escalating.

Reaction to the video has been mixed. Longtime fans of iDubbbz applauded the return of a YouTube classic, while others called the move tone-deaf and unnecessary.
You bring Content Cop back just to roast Ethan Klein? This ain’t it, said user @Dinkalus. Another post, now viral, read: idubbbz making a Content Cop in 2025 doesn’t really work anymore because he’s lost pretty much most of people’s respect toward his opinions.
Popular YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL weighed in during a stream, commenting,
This feels like the betrayal arc no one asked for. It’s like wrestling—except no one knows who the heel is anymore.
What’s Next?
Speculation is swirling about the potential fallout. Will Ethan respond directly? Will this fracture ripple through other YouTube friendships? And what role did HasanAbi really play in crafting the video? Some predict this could mark the end of Ethan Klein’s support base among certain creators, while others argue it could spark a bigger conversation about shifting loyalties and performative activism in online spaces.
One thing’s for sure: iDubbbz didn’t just bring Content Cop back—he blew the lid off YouTube drama in 2025.
Stay tuned. This saga is just getting started.
