Zackary Smigel | The Unprecedented Rise of Content Cops @ZackarySmigel | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 13 minutes ago.
A retrospective on Idubbbz's Content Cop and exploration of Content Cop Clones, an internet phenomenon I recently discovered. The internet has always been a breeding ground for creativity, innovation, and drama. It's a place where new ideas are born, flourish, and then are copied. A recent example that has drawn significant attention is the sensation of what I am calling "Content Cop Clones," those who are imitating the famous YouTuber Idubbbz's series, "Content Cop."
In this video commentary, we will discuss who these clones are, how closely they mirror the original Content Cop series, their impact, and, more importantly, the broader implications of their existence. Are they riding the wave of Idubbbz's successes and failures, or are they adding value to the YouTube community in their own right?

Creators note:
Hello, my name is Zackary Smigel. I've been creating YouTube videos since I was a kid. I started YouTube full-time about five years ago. You might have seen me from Real Estate License Wizard, where I obtained 60,000 subscribers and over 5 million channel views. I have since left that channel for creative pursuits, and this is my first crack at starting something new. I'd appreciate a like and subscribe if this content interests you and I captured your attention for even just a few moments.
On a secondary note, this is my sixth video commentary using this style and format. I enjoy video commentary and exploring internet culture; so much. This is my first video without any technical issues (yay!). I think I got the technical side down-pat for the most part—still lots of room to improve. Over the last month, I learned a lot. My editing and quality have improved significantly. This video, in particular, I believe, came out well! I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks so much for watching,
Zackary Smigel
