iDubbbz vs LeafyIsHere: Content Cop, Bullying Criticism and 2020 Revival

The iDubbbz-LeafyIsHere feud was rooted in a wider 2016 backlash against Leafy’s commentary style. In March 2016, Leafy removed a video about TommyNC2010 after Tommy said he was autistic and had received death threats from Leafy’s viewers. H3H3 then accused Leafy of bullying vulnerable or smaller creators and enabling mob harassment, and Leafy apologized. iDubbbz made Leafy a recurring no-chin target in the Content Cop narrative before releasing Content Cop - Leafy on September 12, 2016. The episode accused Leafy of repetitive bullying content and refusing responsibility for audience harassment, while also heavily mocking Leafy’s physical appearance and alleged insecurity about his chin. Leafy responded on September 16, and iDubbbz released Content Deputy - Leafy Response on September 19. Leafy’s audience and viewership declined over the following period, but later claims that iDubbbz single-handedly ended Leafy’s career are not supported by Leafy’s own explanation: in 2018 he attributed his 2017 hiatus to accumulated burnout, monetization, censorship and platform changes rather than one event. In December 2019 YouTube removed Content Cop - Leafy under its updated harassment policy. Leafy returned to YouTube on March 31, 2020 by briefly insulting iDubbbz over the Anisa Jomha OnlyFans controversy. Leafy’s own channel was permanently terminated in August 2020 for repeated harassment-policy violations. In May 2023 iDubbbz broadly repudiated the cruelty and harassment culture associated with his older Content Cop work and unlisted the series. No later substantive direct iDubbbz-Leafy exchange was identified through August 2026.
