Everyone compares him to Joji being successful and retiring the pink guy character as successful, yet they never complain that he was edgy. 
Turns out that bending the knee to word warriors of yesteryear doesnt mean you can make watchable stuff.
ALSO, Obligatory: This is why you stick to bussy.

He's iCuckz now. He has cucked to the establishment, now the wokoids do not watch him because he was le nazi, and the chuds don't watch because he is le woke.
A whole bunch of people transitioned better. Even Anthony Stragtano didn't fail, as much as I hate to say it, because unless he dislikes an artist, his reviews are at least understandable

Also he ran a "charity" event that didn't raise any money for charity and was just a front for paying e-celebs to hang out with him (and bang his wife)

Literally all he had to do was keep making the same videos but not say r-slur or the g*mer word. It's not like taking the piss out of shitty youtubers or scammers is inherently rightoid

Saying idubbz is bad now implies he was ever good. filthyfrank, maxmorfoe etc, etc (i went to HS with one of the hangers-on creators in that crowd btw) made the laziest 4chan-lite bullshit that constituted perhaps the most worthless content to reach a wide audience in human history

wooooow I'm sure everyone's very proud of your high artistry standards for YouTube. Truly not a medium worthy of the plebeians.
le epic 4chans is something that can only be published true to form and not improved and made watchable to normal people

His content cop vids were perfectly timed for when a creator was starting to hit a critical mass of backlash so he could swoop in and take credit for killing their momentum.

Honestly he still pulls big numbers even if they are a lot lower than before. So he didn't completely throw away his career. He's definitely coasting by as a sad shell of what could have been though.

600k is nothing to scoff at but considering most his videos in his prime never got below 6million views and plenty would break 10mil it's quite a drastic change
He was on to something with those documentaries but Sam Hyde cucked him so hard he dropped it. I still don't understand why he didn't just own the Sam Hyde thing and make the video fun, but instead he had to interrupt the video to do a lesson on irony

Sam Hyde unironically broke him. He was trying to gotcha him to show how washed up he was after MDE in order to own the chuds but Sam trolling him so hard basically made iDubbz look like the bigger vindictive loser in the situation.
Plus he was basically responsible for making Gen Z aware of Sam Hyde lol.

How do you go from making videos where you full on drop hard rs in public on YouTube to being completely soy in all aspects of your life?
Also, insane that a decade ago you could still be an edgelord on YouTube. Why is everything getting worse?

Joji was lucky, he quit youtube when they started becoming hostile to "edgy" content and his music career actually worked out. He has a bunch of fans who don't even know filthy frank now without alienating the people who did. There have been minor cancellation attempts that haven't stuck yet. To be honest though once he becomes less popular I fully expect him to get cancelled for filthy frank lmao
Also Ian wasn't just edgy he was the BIPOCcute twink guy, he had a tough hole to climb out of but groveling to people who would never accept you was a huge mistake
