Why I Can’t Stand iDubbbzTV
Before you say anything, at least hear me out for the first few sentences. I’m not asking you to even care, so if you’re a fan of his you should probably click away now. I’m not some mindless troll hating on a popular youtuber just because I found one little thing they said kind of offensive. I don’t find him that offensive, he’s just kind of... sad.
Here’s what I mean: when I look at iDubbbbz I see in him a reflection of our entire generation. He’s like a horrible representation of every reason why my mom tells me I should spend less time on my laptop. At the end of the day, iDubbbz is just a twenty-something sitting in front of a camera and bitching about inconsequential shit that’ll be meaningless in a few short years or even months. He has no legacy, and he makes no contributions. He’s barely even memorable.
When he gets older – when he turns thirty and goes from being the quirky, “offensive,” little boy attacking other quirky, “offensive” little boys over the internet to a weird creep living alone, making a mess and bullying college dropouts, who will stand by him? When your precious little Ian stops appealing to you and you move on, will you leave him to keep spouting his tiny little voice into the uncaring abyss of the internet? Cause god knows that potential, NORMAL future employers are gonna pick a guy whose resume doesn’t include that he once painted himself entirely orange for a couple million youtube views.
I don’t dislike his content. In fact, I even find him a little bit funny at times, but in the end he just makes me kind of depressed. Feel free to respond to me about why I’m wrong and how you still wanting to fuck him when he turns 50 is an excuse to pretend he’s still going to be relevant.
