iDubbbz revealed his current streaming ambitions during a World of Warcraft broadcast yesterday. The creator said his “career goal” is to function as a “white Hasan” on Twitch.
The comment dropped during a casual World of Warcraft stream, but it hit like a confession. Ian Carter, once the YouTube edgelord behind the Content Cop series, now wants to be the Walmart version of Hasan Piker. Not “find my lane,” not “reinvent myself.” Just the “white Hasan.” Which is extra ironic because Hasan is already, the white Hasan.
This pivot doesn’t come out of nowhere. Ian’s slide arguably started when he revived Content Cop in April 2025 and went after Ethan Klein of H3. Fans called it a betrayal, critics called it lazy, and suddenly Ian wasn’t on the same pedestal anymore.
Then came the slow-motion implosion of Creator Clash. The first influencer boxing event in 2022 raised over a million for charity, but the sequel in 2023 lost around $250,000. By 2025, fighters were pulling out, citing political disagreements and discomfort with Ian’s direction. Transparency issues surfaced, and eventually Ian and his wife Anisa stepped away. What began as his big “mature era” project ended with Ian completing his transformation into a lolcow.
Now, instead of building something new, Ian’s openly positioning himself as a budget HasanAbi. The strategy seems obvious: stream when Hasan is offline, talk about similar news and politics, and scoop up viewers looking for a familiar vibe. But audiences aren’t dumb. They know when someone’s copying a formula, especially from a creator as entrenched as Hasan.
For a guy once known for originality, even if it was messy and offensive, announcing you want to be someone else feels like the most predictable move yet. If Ian’s endgame is really to be “white Hasan,” then maybe he’s finally admitted what his critics have been saying for years: he’s out of ideas.
