AI Summary
5 min readThe Content Cop That Backfired
In a recent stream, Asmongold dissected the fallout from iDubbbz's long-awaited "Content Cop" video targeting Ethan Klein of H3 Podcast — and concluded that the video had done more damage to iDubbbz himself than to its intended target. The video has 2.5 million views and roughly 200,000 likes, but also 200,000 dislikes.

By platforming them and effectively co-signing them, iDubbbz muddied the waters. What should have been an objective criticism of one person's behavior turned into a factional hit piece that looked like it was taking Hassan's side.
