Content Cop: Where are they now?

How effective is Content Cop?



Content Cop is an immensely successful YouTube series by YouTuber iDubbbz. But how much does it affect the YouTubers that it is made about? 

The first content cop made was made about Jinx, a growing reaction channel during the time on YouTube when reaction channels were really popular. He was close to 1.3 million subs at the time of the Content Cop. iDubbbz exposed Jinx for his lackluster and uncreative content. Following this Content Cop Jinx slowly released videos less frequently and lost more and more subs and views. It's hard to say whether Content Cop is the main reason Jinx's YouTube channel has died. But it did affect it greatly. 

The FineBros were up next after their decision to trademark "react videos". However the Content Cop didn't add much to the already sinking ship that was their channel. They did decide to change their decision to trademark "react videos". Overall the Content Cop didn't affect them much.
After the FineBros Content Cop, iDubbbz made a Content Cop on Keemstar. The general public already hated Keemstar so the Content Cop didn't change how they saw him. Although iDubbbz did a fairly thorough piece on Keemstar, despite months of endless hate and backlash, Keemstar seems to have capitalized off all the hatred and gain subs and views after several months. 

The next Content Cop was on HowToPrankItUp, a channel which would teach you how to do rather convoluted and time consuming pranks. The Content Cop seems to have been really effective at changing the opinion of would be viewers for the channel. Less than two months after the Content Cop his daily sub count has plummeted and as of today his channel sub count and views have stagnated.

LeafyIsHere is the subject of the next Content Cop. The Content Cop was a huge blow to Leafy's channel and views. After being exposed, Leafy did lose lots of subs. However a year later, Leafy is gaining subs once again. So it seems a year is all it takes to recover from a Content Cop.
The next Content Cop was about Tana Moneau which was a very out of place subject for a Content Cop. The fallout for this Content Cop wasn't too severe at all. This is likely due to the different demographic that Tana appeals to. A slight decline in her views and sub count is all that happened. This could also be due to the videos she put out after the Content Cop in which she apologized for what she had done. 

The latest Content Cop is about RiceGum, which hasn't really affected him as he is already gaining subs again after losing subs for a few days after the Content Cop. Ultimately the Content Cop has gained him more views and subs. 

Content Cop does generally affect the subject of the video however, the real winner from this series is iDubbbz as this series is immensely popular and have gained him heaps of views and subs.

Demonetisation and where to now?

Where do we go from here? (Check out our previous post about this before reading on!) "The YouTube community is the body armour that stops competitors at getting at Youtube" - Casey Casey believes this recent disruption to the Google owned video platform may pave the way for possible competitors that can offer much more such as, a wider audience and better opportunities for creators to monetise their content. Twitch is an example of a platform that appears to be a viable competitor. Majority of its users are gamers who make videos.. who knows what could happen next? We're going to go through the suggestions that Casey Neistat have provided. Remember that drama with Jimmy Kimmel and the ad controversy? YouTube attempted to explain below that some select partners are allowed to run their own ads --> Casey asks the question "Why can't I or other creators create our own ads?"  This is a great idea that creators could h...

The Aftermath of Adpocalypse

Is the 'Adpocalypse' over yet?  Adpocalypse was the term dubbed by the internet to the drama that happened several months ago on YouTube when advertisements were seen on controversial videos, which freaked out the advertisers. Videos that included hate speech or even links to terrorist groups... Read more at Forbes !  Since then, YouTuber have dished up an AI bot and can be explained in their own words: "in the first few hours of a video upload we use machine learning to determine if a video meets our advertiser-friendly guidelines. This also applies to scheduled live streams, where our systems look at the title, description, thumbnail and tags even before the stream goes live."  Casey Neistat just recently made a video explaining his frustrations that the creators, whether small or large, are the lifeblood of YouTube. If people's livelihoods are invested in this company, and this is their way of making a living, they deserve to be trea...
