He's also known for featuring fellow YouTubers TVFilthyFrank, Maxmoefoe, HowToBasic, and anything4views.
History[]
Ian created his first channel on March 26, 2010 and uploaded two videos on it. However, he created another channel on August 12, 2012 which is now his main. His first video on there was uploaded on August 30, 2012, was of him playing the Holiday levels of the game Overgrowth. Like many other YouTubers, he started out gaming. IDubbbz continued to upload gaming videos on his channel until March 18, 2013, when he released his first “Gaming News Crap” video, which was the origin of his Kickstarter Crap series. Although iDubbbz kept making gaming videos, his more popular series, Kickstarter Crap, and Bad Unboxing took a higher priority over these videos.
He has collaborated with multiple large content creators including Jacksfilms, H3h3Productions, Boyinaband, PewDiePie, Vsauce, Ricky Berwick, Philip DeFranco, and Gus Johnson.
Since 2019, Ian has been creating documentaries on popular internet topics. So far, three have been produced, titled Full Force, Ice Cream Man, and Getting Away With It, focusing on Airsoftfatty, Daxflame, and Sam Hyde, respectively. In late 2020, Ian began streaming on Twitch and started the channel idubbbzStream, where videos of his stream highlights will be posted.

IDubbbz vs. Doctor Mike[]
IDubbbz vs. Doctor Mike at the Yuengling Center
In 2017, IDubbbzTV called out RiceGum in a video entitled Content Cop - Jake Paul. RiceGum would respond by challenging IDubbbz to a boxing match.[11][12] In a video uploaded in October 2021 by IDubbbz, it was revealed that RiceGum had backed out of his desire to fight him and he was actively searching for new creators to join his planned event.[13] This would later evolve into the Creator Clash event.
In May 2022, IDubbbz made his amateur boxing debut against Russian-American YouTuber Doctor Mike as the headline fight in the Creator Clash boxing event. IDubbbz was defeated by Doctor Mike via an unanimous decision.[14]

Other channels[]
Controversies[]
Anisa Jomha's OnlyFans[]
In March 2020, Ian's girlfriend Anisa Jomha opened an account on the site OnlyFans, a paid service to view uncensored images and 18+ content posted from its creators and have it monetized. This resulted in significant attacks on Ian's minute response and silence over his girlfriend opening this account with many calling Ian a "simp" or in some cases a "Content Cuck" due to Ian's silence on this matter. Anisa was already not well liked by iDubbbz's fans due to her controversial actions in the past. Many also condemned Ian for being a hypocrite due to Ian criticizing "booby" streamers and female streamers/content creators who used their body for likes/views on YouTube and Twitch yet Ian not applying the double standard to his girlfriend's behavior online.[18][19]
Ian’s response[]
On March 28, 2020, Ian posted a response video to the drama with him and his girlfriend’s OnlyFans.[20] He starts out saying that there are a group of people that make memes out of the drama for fun and laughs and then there are a group of people that take the drama to another level, insulting him and harassing him due to his girlfriend’s decision of opening an OnlyFans account. Ian then talks about how his fans suddenly turn against him because of the drama and tells them that he is not their dad and if they don’t look up to him anymore, he thinks that’s fine. Ian then goes on to show some examples of fans that turn against him.
After, Ian then goes on to address people calling him a hypocrite and tells them that his opinions have been consistent throughout his YouTube career, even showing clips of him talking about sex work. Ian then goes on to say that he thinks his response video is the “most intelligent thing [he’s] ever done” because of him showing “this side of him.” And to conclude, Ian addresses a person that criticize him about the OnlyFans drama through a video.[21]
YouTubers respond[]
Soon after Ian’s response video came out, YouTubers such as PewDiePie, penguinz0, DramaAlert and SomeOrdinaryGamers respond to the OnlyFans drama and the response video Ian made. Some of these YouTubers call Ian’s arguments weak and that his arguments are usually really well thought out and that many people can get behind it. In Penguinz0’s response, he says that he doesn’t get why the drama is a thing and thinks that his audience is overreacting to the OnlyFans drama. In the comments of Penguinz’s video, many people say that his argument to the drama was better than Ian’s argument. This is the case for other YouTubers who say the drama was unnecessary.[22][23]
FroggyFresh[]
On 24 January, 2023, Ian scheduled Tyler "FroggyFresh" Cassidy to fight Chris Ray Gun on Creator Clash 2.[24] On March 23, Fresh claimed that he would subscribe to Anisa Jomha's OnlyFans if he lost.[25]
On 26 March, Ian announced through the Creator Clash Twitter page that Fresh will no longer be fighting due to "recent behavior".[26] Public perception was that it was due to the joke about Anisa, or his friendship with Sam Hyde. Many creators including Keemstar, JiDion and Penguinz0 showing their support to Tyler.[27][28][29] KSI's manager Mams Taylor, offered Tyler a deal to box on Misfits Boxing instead.[30][31]
On March 29, Creator Clash tweeted "unfortunately, there were several violations made by Froggy Fresh during his tenure with Creator Clash this year." and claimed that they attempted to address the problems personally with Froggy Fresh, but were unsuccessful, resulting in them dropping him from the event.[32]
Tyler responded by asking "Who tried to reach out to me several times and what are the several violations?", implying that he had no idea of what he did to get banned. In his account of the events, he claimed that Ian had asked him to stop making content with Sam Hyde, which he complied with. In another tweet, he said "I got one email minutes before Creator Clash went publuich about my termination. Justin Tracey called me while I was in Providence working with Sam. I asked that he could text or email me as I was busy training with Sam. He never texted or emailed."[33][34][35]
On May 5, Ian uploadeded a video admitting that Tyler's friendship with Sam Hyde was the reason he was blacklisted from Creator Clash. This was critisized by many as Ian himself had a history of making edgy jokes, including saying racial/homophobic slurs such as "n***erf&gg*t". Others also thought the joke wasn't offensive since several men were subscribed to her OnlyFans anyway.[36]
Ian also attempted to sue Tyler for speaking out against his banning.[37] SomeOrdinaryGamers offered to pay for Tyler's legal fees, stating "Threatening litigation like this kinda worries me, but I hate it when smaller creators have to face any legal crap, it ruins lives. I’m down to cover it all, no need for GoFundMe’s. I just want this to be resolved, I want a successful event at the end of the day."[38][39]
Content Cop apology tour[]
On May 18, 2023, Ian posted a video titled "I miss the old idubbbz" in which he goes over his feelings about himself and his old videos. He says he feels that he created a hurtful series and toxic fanbase, mainly the Content Cop series or other videos which he claims were too hurtful or had no evidence. Ian says he blames himself for encouraging harassment and hate amongst his fans, while also saying he created these videos due to his own insecurities and issues, such as an example he gave where a fan mistook him for being transphobic. While he didn't take his edgy humor serious due to his good intentions and taking no responsibility for his audiences' actions, he realizes that he was still being bigoted and cringy, such as his notorious meetup with Tana Mongeau. Ian says he'll still remember the Content Cop videos due to profiting from them and their popularity, but he's still hoping to move on from those videos and learn more about empathy.
Ian unlisted all of the Content Cop videos to not attract attention, though he's not forcing people to not like the videos. He also donated to two charities, the 'National Alliance of Mental Health' and 'Trans Women of Color Collective' by using the revenue that would be made in the apology video. He then apologized to Tana Mongeau and any minority groups that watch his videos and also refutes his statement "It's either all okay or none of it is okay".[40]
While some people praised the video and congratulated Ian, others had criticized the video for his apology and his unlisting of the Content Cop videos. YouTubers such as h3h3productions and D'Angelo Wallace would compliment Ian for owning up for his offensive humor and moving on, but others such as Keemstar and Cr1tikal would criticize him since he has nothing to apologize for and that his intentions were good.[41] Tana would respond to the apology by wanting Ian to come onto her podcast "CANCELLED", to explain her thoughts to him. Tana also claimed that she deserved to have a content cop as she claimed she learned and grew ever since the content cop on her.[42]
H3H3 Content Cop and Creator Clash Controversy[]
On April 16, 2025, iDubbbz released a new "Content Cop" episode focusing on Ethan Klein also know as h3h3productions. The video criticized Klein's political stances, particularly his views on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and accused him of harassing other creators, including Hasan Piker. This move was met with criticism, as many felt it was a step backward in iDubbbz's efforts to distance himself from past controversial content. Fans expressed disappointment, noting that Klein had supported iDubbbz during earlier backlash over his past content.[43] Ethan responded to the content cop claiming that IDubbbz left out the fact that Child Protective Services was called to his house and claims that he was angry that CPS was called and called out iDubbbz because He was interacting with people and was friends with people who were spreading a rumor that lead to CPS being called on. Ethan also says that 2 real human skulls were sent to his house in the mail.[44] Commentary Youtuber, Nicholas DeOrio heavily criticized iDubbbz and Anisa as well, specifically claiming the two were intentionally misrepresentative towards H3H3[45] with Nick also criticizing Ian & Anisa for comparing their mental trauma (during their original podcast response to Ethan Klein) to Etika's suicide[46]. iDubbbz responded in a content deputy were he said Ethan was oversharing about his kids having giardia when it was later found out the kids never had giardia and claimed that his own fans were concerned when he was talking about his dogs having giardia.[47] The content deputy was met with backlash with many claiming that iDubbbz was justifying CPS being called on Ethan.[48]
Following the release of the "Content Cop" episode, several controversies emerged surrounding the Creator Clash 3 event, which iDubbbz and his wife, Anisa Jomha, were involved in organizing. The event faced significant financial challenges, including a loss of $250,000 due to issues like piracy, which led to a substantial number of viewers accessing the event without paying. As a result, the anticipated charitable donations were not realized, causing disappointment among participants and supporters. In response to these issues, iDubbbz and Anisa Jomha stepped away from organizing Creator Clash 3, transferring ownership to their business partners. The event faced further complications, including 4 fighter withdrawals and logistical challenges, leading to a postponement and a change in venue. Additionally, revelations about the financial distribution of the event's profits sparked further criticism, as it was disclosed that a significant portion of the earnings was initially allocated to iDubbbz and Jomha.[49][50]
Shadman Connection[]
On September 4, 2025, Nicholas DeOrio did research and unearthed that both Anisa & Ian were still friendly with controversial artist 'Shadman' as Anisa had followed him on Twitter and made a tweet regarding a piece of his artwork in May 2016[51] which exposed her to possibly knowning about the situation that involves Keemstar's daughter.[52] Nick later covered art that Shad had drawn featuring content cop references (with Hillary Clinton drawn having braces) & Ian had retweeted the same artwork claiming Ian had 'no ground' on calling out Ethan for the former 'pedo_troll' edgy jokes he made a decade ago[53][54]. The allegation was also platformed & corroborated by another commentary Youtuber known as Rob's Media[55] as he did extensive research uncovering that Shadman was a fan/friend of iDubbbz & had drawn RiceGum in a SFW setting[56] and another as Tana Mongeau depicted as a lolicon with iDubbbz aggressively hugging her[57]. Rob also stated Ian had featured his art in the original Creator Clash announcement video in 2017 & 2018 with iDubbbz still following Shadman as of 2021[58].
Termination[]
On November 23, 2017, a hacker known as "Lizard Squad" hacked onto YouTube and terminated the iDubbbz channel, as well as multiple other big channels including DramaAlert, Papa Jake, Styxhexenhammer666, Team Coco (Conan O'Brien), and Repzion. People thought this was the end of YouTube until YouTube itself got all forcefully terminated channels back up in less than 24 hours.
