damn I had to look up what idubbz is and it just... seems so unappealing

why are all these YouTube "celebrities" so lame is it really just cause they happened to be appealing to tweens when cell phones were invented

The appeal of iDubbz back in the content cop days was that it was unfiltered and gritty. I never much cared for the jackass style shock factor things he did together with filthy Frank but he was the king of burning down vapid youtube one-day-wonders like ricegum.

It has a huge "you had to be there" factor nowadays though in my opinion. I have never felt compelled to go back and rewatch anything because it just doesn't seem to fit into this era of the internet.
