DAZN CEO calls for Tommy Fury rematch after KSI “robbed” YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Frank Warren’s QueensburyDAZN’s CEO Joe Markowski is calling for KSI vs Tommy Fury rematch after the YouTube star was “robbed” of a win. After a ton of anticipation, KSI and Tommy Fury finally went head-to-head on October 14. Going blow-for-blow for six full rounds, it was Fury who walked out on top in the end, taking the win by a majority decision — which was soon corrected to a unanimous decision. However, it’s fair to say Fury hasn’t won the fight without controversy and backlash, with many believing it should’ve been KSI’s to take home. The YouTube star will be appealing what he calls an “outrageous” decision, hoping for his first loss to be overturned. Meanwhile, fans have called the right “rigged” and a “robbery” to KSI — especially making note of Fury’s point deduction in the third round. Among those hitting out also includes DAZN’s CEO Joe Markowski, who immediately after the fight was one of the first to claim KSI was “robbed” of the win. Not only that, the CEO is now calling for KSI to step into the ring with Fury again for a rematch. DAZN CEO says KSI was “robbed” and should rematch Fury After previously claiming in an Instagram story that the YouTube star was “robbed” after going six rounds with Tommy Fury, Markowski is now calling for a rematch. Doubling down on his prior comments, DAZN’s CEO urged KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, to appeal the fight’s outcome, before suggesting a rematch between the two internet stars. “Stand by this. @KSI was robbed,” he said. “Appeal and rematch please @MamsTaylor.” Now that the fight is done and dusted, it’s unclear what’s next for KSI and Tommy Fury, as both fighters look to be heading in different paths. However, it’s fair to say fans are more pumped than ever to see KSI step in the ring with Jake Paul, who will soon be announcing his next opponent for a December fight.

Day9 hits huge milestone in streaming history Esports commentator and streamer Sean “Day[9]” Plott celebrated a major milestone with Twitch viewers as he marked a decade of streaming. Day[9] is well known to fans of StarCraft and DOTA 2 esports fans for his work as a commentator at various esports events including DOTA’s The International 2017. During a stream on October 22 Day[9] started off happily greeted viewers by celebrating the 10-year mark. “Today is the 10-year anniversary of Day[9]tv, 10 years!” he exclaimed. “It’s not nine years, so it’s not the best for branding – but 10 years, holy sh*t that went fast.” “10 years ago today, for any of you who don’t know, was the very first broadcast I ever did it was Day[9]daily,” he explained. Day[9] was a high-level Zerg player in StarCraft: Brood War, but he said during school he was unable to keep his skills as high as they needed to be to compete at the top. “But you know I obviously loved watching Brood War, loved being engaged with and following the scene,” he recalled. “So I was like – ‘I know, I am just going to broadcast an analysis,” – and this was actually two years before Twitch even existed.” The streamer said he started on a little-known livestreaming site, evidence of which can be found in the below YouTube video from Day[9]’s channel. Day[9]daily’s first episode (even though in the video he says “second episode”) was a look at a Brood War match between Lee “Flash” Young Ho and Jo “hero” Il Jang. What’s ahead for Day[9]? The streamer said on Twitter that even after close to 200 shows a year he was looking forward to the next 10 years of broadcasting. Day[9] also worked closely with Twitch while they were developing their subscriber program, which prompted Twitch’s Marcus “djWHEAT” Graham to call him “A legend”. A legend. Here is to 10 more years of amazing content and inspiration! https://t.co/6RmGz1OiGo — djWHEAT (@djWHEAT) October 22, 2019 Day9’s Daily’s were a huge part of the Starcraft esports scene at it’s height and he was the first ever Twitch streamer to have paid subscribers to his channel. That, and he was one of the first to figure out people enjoyed watching other people talk about video games live on the internet.

Day6’s Jae Park quits Twitch after apologizing for “inappropriate” joke Instagram/eajpark/TwitchK-Pop star Jae Park of Day6 has made the decision to quit Twitch after he made “inappropriate” comments and jokes during a recent broadcast. On March 25, the singer-songwriter took to Twitter to explain why he would no longer be streaming on the Amazon-owned platform. In a series of images including English translations, Jae expressed regret and apologized for the comments he made that upset some viewers. According to Kpopstarz, while in a video game, the singer called another player his “sugar daddy” and proceeded to use his avatar to resemble a sexual act. Dae claimed on Twitter that he didn’t fully comprehend the seriousness of the incident, further noting that this made him realize his “immaturity and lack of judgment.” “From now on I will not act impulsively taking into mind the gravity of my words and actions,” he wrote. “Moreover, as a member of Day6 I assure you I will always put Day6, fans and colleagues on top priority. Thus, as an act of sincerity, I will stop all personal livestreams including Twitch.” Holding true to his word, the K-Pop icon’s account is no longer available. Now, when accessed, fans are greeted to Twitch’s “Sorry. Unless you’ve got a time machine, that content is unavailable.” literally nothing , he made an nsfw joke – a GROWN man made an nsfw joke and got hate for it. — gunwook dickrider (@05sfile) March 25, 2021 Park ended his messages by thanking fans who stood by his side and reiterated that the incident would not happen again. While the singer believes deleting his Twitch account was the right course of action, many of his fans feel the response was extreme. “Literally nothing, he made a joke – a GROWN man made a joke and got hate for it,” a popular reply to Jae’s tweet said, responding to a question asking what he did wrong. “You’re a good man Jae,” Jacksepticeye remarked, adding a heart emoji for good measure. YouTube star and fellow musician Corpse Husband simply replied to Park’s message with a black heart It’s unclear if the K-Pop sensation will ever return to streaming or if this hiatus will be permanent, but for the time being, fans shouldn’t expect to see Jae Park on Twitch or other livestream services for the foreseeable future.

Day6’s Jae Park calls out “toxic” side of the K-Pop community Twitch: eaJParkOfficialK-Pop star Jae Park from the band Day6 has outlined his thoughts on the pattern of “toxic” behavior from people on the internet, after reacting to hate comments live on a Twitch stream. Day6 is a hugely popular five member K-Pop group that debuted in 2015, that has since gone on to secure a substantial fan base both in Korea and worldwide. Jae is a vocalist and electric guitarist for the band, and while he originally grew up in the US, he moved to Korea when he was offered a contract with an entertainment company following his participation in a reality show. It’s safe to say that the K-Pop industry is a booming one, and with its recent surge in popularity across the globe, a new crop of passionate fans have joined the ever-expanding community to support their favorite artists. However, it’s no secret that sometimes things can be taken to the extreme by certain people, leaving the reputation of the industry as a whole at stake. No one is more aware of this than the stars themselves, and in his November 17 stream, Jae shared his thoughts on the issue. Jae Park shares his opinion on cancel culture Initially, he shared a hate comment he once received online where somebody said “I like Jae better when he speaks Korean because he has less of an opinion.” Jae responded “isn’t that crazy” and added that “apparently opinions are cancellable offenses now.” Jae went on to explain that “I don’t think they’re being rude. This is what I think is happening. I think the younger generation is starting to believe that that’s acceptable behavior.” “The sad truth is that eventually within, I’d say within the next decade, all our faces are gonna be plastered onto our socials. They may be 14, 15, 12, even 20 or 30 now, what happens in ten years when they’re trying to get a job?… And they have this incredible history of toxic behavior plastered on their social media accounts. What happens then?” He continued, “there’s a certain type of weight attached to that, and eventually, it’s not gonna be karma, it’s gonna be exactly what you said showing up on your feed ten years from now.” The chat was flooded with support for the star, with many who agreed with his point of view. Jae continues to grow his Twitch following which currently sits at a little over 248,000, playing games like Detroit: Become Human and Among Us.

Day6’s eaJPark hints that he’s finally getting Twitch partnership Instagram: eajpark / TwitchPark Jae-hyung, better known as Jae of K-Pop group Day6, has been grinding his way to partnership on Twitch — and it looks like he might finally be getting it. Jae hasn’t made much of a secret of his love of gaming, and in August of 2020 he made huge steps towards making himself more of a name in the space. He turned up to play in some seriously entertaining Among Us games with the OfflineTV crew, alongside the likes of Valkyrae, Scarra, LilyPichu and more. At the time, he said he loves everyone he was playing with but was “so nervous he couldn’t sleep” the night before. That said, he’s clearly become a lot more comfortable with it all and has started to become an increasingly popular Twitch streamer himself, earning over 375k followers at the time of writing. Often streaming Valorant or Among Us or just chatting with his viewers, Jae is becoming a fully-fledged Twitch streamer on top of his musical endeavors — and it could be about to get even more serious. While there has been some controversy over his Twitch career, with some fans believing it could impact his or Day6’s image, Jae tweeted on February 25 simply saying “Twitch partner? Pausechamp,” with many believing it to be a hint that partnership is coming. As a Twitch partner, that would mean Jae is able to start building a subscriber base, play ads on his channel and earn donations in the form of Bits, among other things. In short, he’ll be able to start making real money from it. Dream SMP member and one of MrBeast’s crew, Karl Jacobs, was one of the first to respond, in a crossover that got fans of both very excited. Of course, nothing’s confirmed yet, so fans shouldn’t get too excited, but all signs are certainly pointing in the right direction.

David Leavitt slammed for calling police on Target over a toothbrush Twitter: @David_Leavitt / Wikipedia CommonsJournalist David Leavitt ruffled feathers online when he put a store employee on blast on Twitter over a mispriced toothbrush, and now, people are calling for justice for “Target Tori.” Everyone knows how it feels to go into a store and spot a bargain that’s just too good to pass up, especially if it’s something they’ve been wanting for a while and it’s reduced in price by a substantial amount. Sometimes, price errors occur though, and it’s not quite the amazing deal you thought it would be. While many would simply accept it and continue on with their day, writer David Leavitt shared his frustrations on Twitter when it happened to him, and is now being slammed for how he handled the situation. Man calls police over mispriced toothbrush On January 17, Leavitt uploaded a series of photos to the social media platform with the caption “This [Target] manager Tori is not honoring the price of their items per massachusetts law.” The pictures showed the item in question – an electric Oral B Pro 5000 toothbrush usually worth $89.99 – with a $0.01 price tag, alongside a photograph of the employee, and a screenshot of the Massachusetts pricing law. He then followed it up with another tweet stating that he’d actually gotten law enforcement involved over the situation. “I just had to call the police because [Target] refused to sell me the toothbrush,” he said. I just had to call the police because @target Refused to sell me the toothbrush — David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) January 17, 2020 After outrage started to brew, the “award-winning multimedia” journalist clarified further and said that he hadn’t called 911, but had instead reached out to the police’s business line. “I did not call 911,” he said. “I called the business number for the police and told them it was not an emergency and they could take their time and explained the situation.” Leavitt then claimed that the officers encouraged him to sue Target over the mispriced item, and that they were willing to provide him with a report. “The police verified [Target] displayed the price of toothbrush for $0.01. The store manager Tori refused to sell me the toothbrush for displayed price,” he said. “The police said I need to sue them and that they are making me a verified report [to] take to court.” The police verified @target displayed the price of toothbrush for $0.01 The store manager Tori refused to sell me the toothbrush for displayed price. The police said I need to sue them and that they are making me a verified report take to court @BBBConnection @AskTarget — David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) January 17, 2020 The whole ordeal didn’t go down in his favor, and instead angered many as to why he’d go so far over a toothbrush, and why he’d publicly shame the employee by uploading a photograph of her. “So you decided to publicly shame a random Target worker because you’re mad about a toothbrush,” fellow journalist Michael Tracey replied. So you decided to publicly shame a random Target worker because you’re mad about a toothbrush — Michael Tracey (@mtracey) January 17, 2020 “Please take her photo down. In what universe do you think it’s ok to shame a woman working at [Target] because she didn’t sell you a toothbrush for 1 cent?” reporter Rita Panahi responded. Dude, please take her photo down. In what universe do you think it’s ok to shame a woman working at @Target because she didn’t sell you a toothbrush for 1cent? Calling the cops was bizarre, too. It’s an obvious labelling error, she did her job. — Rita Panahi (@RitaPanahi) January 17, 2020 People were so mad, in fact, that #TargetTori began trending worldwide on the social media platform, and a GoFundMe was set up in order to help send the worker on vacation. At this time of writing, the appeal has raised $16,600 USD by over 1,000 donors in just 18 hours. The worker herself has yet to speak out.

David Goggins’ fiancé reveals what it’s like to live with him YouTube: Motivation MadnessIn a humorous Instagram post, former US Navy Seal and ultramarathon runner David Goggins’ fiancé revealed that it’s not always easy living with one of the world’s most fit individuals. Goggins’ athletic pursuits are nothing to sniff at: the US Air Force veteran boasts a resume that includes being everything from a triathlete to an ultra-distance cyclist, marathon runner, and more. He’s a motivational speaker and author, and has also published his own memoir, a self-help title called “Can’t Hurt Me.” Considering his massive accomplishments and celebrity status as a top-tier athlete, it doesn’t come as a huge shock to fans that he’s a busy man — but it’s not his packed lifestyle that has supporters shocked on social media. Goggins’ fiancé, Jennifer Kish, posted a photo of her betrothed’s feet to Instagram back in September 2020, which is definitely worthy of a content warning. The man’s toes are bunion city, completely cracked and bruised to high heaven — but Kish isn’t too concerned with the state of his literal athlete’s foot. In her post, Kish explained that the state of Goggins’ feet is due to his incredible dedication to fitness, claiming that his “mind-numbing, monotonous grind” includes running “no less than 10 miles each day, gym work, and at least two hours of stretching.” (WARNING: You’re about to see some seriously gross feet.) Kish elaborates on the living situation with David Goggins “The alarm is set for the same time every day, the protein drink is the exact same every day, the journaling each night, etc.,” she continued. “The monotony is REAL!” “I don’t think he is even remotely impressed when I tell him how many weeks his life story has been sitting on the bestseller lists,” she added. “…The things that move or excite most people don’t seem to even register or matter to him, yet he is more content and has more peace in his life than anyone else I know. He wants for nothing and doesn’t spend time worrying about what other people think about him.” While Goggins jokingly claimed that it “takes a special [kind]” to live with him, it seems that Kish truly understands the neverending grind of her fiancé — making for a goals-worthy pairing that just about anyone can look up to.

David Dobrik’s YouTube comeback could be soon after he’s spotted in Hawaii YouTube: David DobrikWhen is David Dobrik coming back to YouTube has been a question on the mind of many fans, and after rumors that he could be planning a comeback, the social media star has been spotted in Hawaii. Back in early 2021, former members of David Dobrik’s Vlog Squad came forward with stories about their time in the YouTube collective, claiming it made them feel “worthless” and they were forced into making “traumatizing” content. Following those claims, sexual assault allegations were also made against Vlog Squad member Durte Dom, and while Dobrik attempted to set the record straight on the different controversies, he was dropped by a whole host of sponsors, saw his social media accounts lose countless followers, and had his YouTube channel demonetized. For the last few months, Dobrik has been keeping a low profile, with plenty of fans questioning if he’d ever make a return to social media. Well, he’s finally resurfaced. Following claims that the YouTuber and his content collective would be heading to Hawaii to film some comeback videos, Dobrik was spotted by one fan. The picture surfaced on Instagram, confirming that David had been in Maui County. Though, aside from the one quick selfie with a fan, there were no other photos of Dobrik. Nor were there any photos or videos of his Vlog Squad pals. The YouTuber may well have been alone in Hawaii, getting away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles as he continues to keep a low-profile. View this post on Instagram There had been rumors that Dobrik had canceled his Hawaii getaway as well, but they have clearly been rubbished now. However, questions remain about whether or not he’ll ever return to YouTube. Corinna Kopf, who appeared in many of Dobrik’s videos, said she believed he’d come back at some point. It remains to be seen if he’ll do so, and if he’d be welcomed back by his fans and the masses.

David Dobrik’s Warzone clutch wins bet to make his friend move to LA Activision/YouTube: David DobrikDavid Dobrik is planning to move one of his hometown Chicago friends, John, out to Los Angeles to live and work with him after winning a Warzone bet — and John isn’t happy about it at all. Throughout the latter half of 2020 and through 2021, Dobrik has moved his YouTube prowess over to Twitch, streaming his Warzone gameplay and reaching a new audience, including playing with pro players and top streamers such as Nick ‘NICKMERCS’ Kolcheff and Cesar ‘Skyz’ Bueno. During a January 2021 stream, Dobrik brought some of his old YouTube vibes to his stream by making a huge bet with John, a friend from back home in Chicago, asking him to move to LA and work at his new pizza restaurant, Doughbriks, if they win their next game. After a string of awful games, John reluctantly agreed, clearly not interested, saying that they “won’t win anyway” — but was livid after the match finished. While many fans would dream of living and working with Dobrik, clearly John is a little less in awe of the YouTuber, and really didn’t want to win the game and be dragged to Los Angeles — even launching himself off of a building to try and ruin the squad’s chances of winning. Anyone who knows Dobrik, though, will know that luck works a little differently in his world, as you can tell by the bizarre events of some of his biggest vlogs. Of course, Dobrik and fellow friend Alex Ernst managed to clutch up and win the game, with John’s evident disappointment drowned out by Dobrik’s sheer, unadulterated joy. Saying that he’s “f**king his life up,” John jokes about working in a chemical factory and getting some lab experience then following it up by working in “a f**king pizza shop” — perhaps not the career trajectory he had planned. It’s not exactly clear whether this is all actually going to happen, but it definitely seems as if the big move could be going ahead, especially with how both parties reacted and discussed it all after. Now, we just have to wait and see what happens, but don’t be too surprised when you see John serving up some classic, Chicago-style deep dish alongside Dobrik in Los Angeles.

David Dobrik’s Vlog Squad stopped by police after racing $3m car with a toilet YouTube: Jason Nash, David DobrikDavid Dobrik and his Vlog Squad are known for getting into the occasional ridiculous hijink or two… but the group found themselves having a run-in with the law after racing a luxury car against a giant toilet. Yep, you read that right. After undergoing intense scrutiny from former Vlog Squad members and fellow influencers over past pranks, David Dobrik and his troupe of pals have finally returned to the internet. Already, the group have gone back to their classic shenanigans, with Dobrik inflating an airplane’s emergency exit slide in his backyard, pranking his friends in the middle of the night with a fake gorilla and, of course, driving a dirt bike into a pool. Because why not? View this post on Instagram Now, it seems that the Vlog Squad is taking to the road, with the latest vlog from Jason Nash showing the crew surveying some luxury vehicles owned by The Hamilton Collection. Of course, it’s not a true Vlog Squad video if something outrageous doesn’t happen… and that’s exactly what went down when the gang took their pricey automobiles out for a test drive. How did the Vlog Squad get a hold of a giant toilet? In the beginning of Jason’s vlog, the crew also got acquainted with insanely huge toilet from influencer Weird Ryan, which they’d fastened onto a go-cart that could go up to speeds of 25 MPH. It seems that Nash and company wanted to film the oversized commode beside the $3 million car they were driving — which, unsurprisingly, caught the eye of law enforcement, who pulled them over. Read More: Every Love Island Season 7 star on TikTok – A clip from the incident in Jason’s vlog shows the YouTuber struggling to explain the situation to the officer, who was, admittedly, pretty cool about the situation. “It’s basically a toilet that they put on a go-cart,” Nash said, sparking some laughter from the cops. “I know it sounds crazy. We’re just gonna film the Bugatti next to the toilet car.” Apparently, the officers pulled over the crew due to some license plate covers, if the short clip of their conversation is anything to go by. (Topic begins at 4:20) The Vlog Squad took their antics to a separate parking lot to race the go-cart against the car — and it’s no surprise that the massive Bidet ended up losing, in the end.

David Dobrik’s vlog returns as Borat smashes up his Tesla YouTube, @DavidDobrikTooIn a crossover nobody saw coming, David Dobrik united with Sacha Baron Cohen to film a surprise return vlog in which Borat visited the Vlog Squad founder for a day full of outlandish behavior and Los Angeles culture shocks. [jwplayer 91I9RIGm] With Borat, nothing is surreptitious and the iconic Kazakh filmmaker’s entrance to Dobrik’s newest vlog was no exception. Rolling into the estate in a large truck, much like the one popularized by traveling ice cream salesmen and postal workers, Borat’s driving proved to be as difficult to restrain as his unfiltered dialogue. Fewer than 30 seconds into the highly anticipated return vlog, the legendary, mustachioed auteur had smashed through the YouTuber’s Tesla’s door. But, as one would expect from this collision of content creators, the expensive vehicle’s mutilation was not the last of the vlog’s material casualties. It’s about a six-minute video in total but filled to the brim with obnoxious content for a tremendous resumption of content following a significant hiatus in which Dobrik didn’t post a real video for over five months. The original Borat film came out in 2006 and, 14 years later, the Kazakh reporter returns with a sequel scheduled for October 23, 2020. In the first movie, he was popularly infatuated with an American entertainment icon, Pamela Anderson. Now, it appears that he has become interested in another media superstar: David Dobrik. Or, as Borat calls him: “Dubrovnik.” Although things started off poorly, with a first impression marked by a smashed vehicle, Borat quickly tried to remedy the new relationship by making an effort to fix the $150,000 car before settling on presenting gifts. Among those gifts, a variety of raw meats offered from a small, leather duffle bag, Dobrik and friends seemed most intrigued by the pangolin. Things then proceeded pleasantly, aside from a close call involving a female friend of the channel and some perhaps unsavory assumptions from Borat. But, with that shower jump scare narrowly avoided, the group moved on to the Los Angeles streets for a surprisingly wholesome guided tour. At one point, the gray-suited character was excited by seeing someone in a mouse costume, prompting David to explain that “it’s Minnie Mouse!” Unsurprisingly, he quickly shut down what he believed are lies from his new tour guide: “No, it is big.” After such a long period away from producing vlogs, this was quite the return, albeit a costly one. Still, despite ruining Dobrik’s Tesla and his gumball machine, the exchange of cultures was ultimately a jovial one and continued proof that crossover content is quality content.

David Dobrik witnesses his Tesla smashed in freak accident YouTube star David Dobrik was witness to his car getting smashed while filming his friend performing a stunt for his vlog. David Dobrik is known for action-packed weekly vlogs on his YouTube channel that often provide viewers with some hilarious moments. As part of his latest vlog, the YouTube star was filming his friend Alex attempting to drive a motor scooter with a sidecar attached when things took a turn for the worst, resulting in David’s car getting damaged. Alex was seen revving the engine excessively, trying to get the scooter to drive, before he completely lost control of the vehicle and it collided into Dobrik’s parked Tesla after doing a wheelie. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident, however, the YouTuber’s car was left with some considerable damage after the two vehicles collided. The left-wing mirror of the Tesla appeared to have taken the brunt of the impact as it was left barely hanging from the car after they took the time to assess what had happened. I caught my first car accident on camera pic.twitter.com/8IwwlyCxzf — DAVID DOBRIK (@DavidDobrik) October 26, 2019 Despite the damage done to his car, David could not help but laugh at the cartoonish collision that he got to witness, saying, “Alex you broke my car, who crashes into someone’s car like this?” Alex was clearly shaken up about what had happened although he later admitted that he was relieved to have crashed into his friend’s car rather than having to explain it to a stranger. The popular YouTuber is known for giving cars to some of his closest friends so he will likely be able to afford to repair what was done to his own car. Dobrik’s vlogs continue to provide hilarious entertainment for his fans, however, he has revealed what he wants to do after he eventually quits vlogging.

David Dobrik’s Summer Europe trip was almost canceled due to visa issues Instagram: David DobrikInternet personality David Dobrik was almost not allowed to go on his recent summer trip to Europe due to a nearly expired and “beat” up passport. This news comes from the most recent episode of the Zane and Heath: UNFILTERED podcast. On the latest episode of Zane and Heath: UNFILTERED, the crew spent the hour-long chat going in-depth about what they described as their “chaotic summer vacation.” The video was hosted by influencers and social media personalities Heath Hussar, Zane Hijazi, Mariah Amato, and Matt King. Hussar, Hijazi, and Amato all joined Dobrik on said trip, however, King was not able to attend. In Europe, the group traveled across countries, with lots of social media photos and vlogging videos published recounting the trip. But things almost went wrong before they even got off the ground. Early on in the podcast, Heath, Zane, and Mariah revealed that their friend and influencer David Dobrik was almost stopped from boarding the group’s initial Paris flight. Zane began the conversation by saying that when it comes to any of their group trips the problems “always start at the airport for us.” They then discussed that the reasoning for the mishap was that Dobrik’s passport wasn’t up to scratch on multiple fronts. “Something happened with his Visa,” Heath revealed as he began to recount their experience at the airport. “So apparently it’s about to expire but he can’t get a new one cause he has to get it in Slovakia.” Heath then went on to say that in addition to the passport almost being expired, it also was not in the best condition. “It’s his only form of ID so he keeps it in his pocket at all times and it went through the washing machine three times so pages are ripped out, it is beat. So they’re looking at it and they’re like we can’t accept this.” His friends discussed on the video how relaxed he was about the whole ordeal despite it being a highly stressful situation. Mariah says how he is the calmest person because he knows it’s gonna work out in the end. Dobrik was once one of the biggest social media influencers and found fame through his early videos on Vine and then later his YouTube content.

David Dobrik’s odd way of eating oranges is confusing the internet David Dobrik, YouTubeDavid Dobrik is one of YouTube’s most popular personalities, best known for his chaotic, high-energy vlogs — but it’s not his antics with the “vlog squad” that have fans scratching their heads, this time. Boasting over 16 million YouTube subscribers, Dobrik is considered one of the most well-known online entertainers to date, having such high-profile connections as Justin Bieber, Howie Mandell and even Kylie Jenner. While he may have some serious A-list clout, that isn’t stopping fans from throwing some humorous shade toward the internet star, thanks to his bizarre method of eating citrus fruits. In an Instagram post earlier this week, Dobrik showed off his special way of eating an orange; rather than taking off the peel or even slicing the fruit into sections, the star bit into it like an apple. “Does the way I bite into this orange make you angry?” he captioned the video, as though poking fun at those who have already undoubtedly expressed their distain at his unique citrus-eating habits. https://twitter.com/nasadobrik/status/1252673745329598469?s=20 As evidenced by the responses on social media, many fans are, indeed, “angry,” with quite a few viewers expressing good-natured disdain and shock over Dobrik’s Instagram story. “What kind of **king psychopath eats an orange like that?!?!” one fan Tweeted in response to the matter. What kind of fucking psychopath eats an orange like that?!?! @DavidDobrik pic.twitter.com/E1WDxXYzAw — sher (@shershawty) April 21, 2020 “I really used to like David Dobrik, but then he posted the video of him eating an orange,” another quipped. I really used to like David Dobrik, but then he posted the video of him eating an orange…. — hanna (@hanna23barnette) April 22, 2020 “David Dobrik bites into his oranges like an apple… he better Venmo me $1,000 before i call the authorities,” yet another wrote. https://twitter.com/MaddieHarperr/status/1252777833769963521?s=20 However, it seems that Dobrik’s video has validated quite a few orange-eaters, who also bite into their favorite citrus fruits like complete savages. “I honestly eat my oranges that way too, and I’ve been embarrassed to tell anyone until now,” one fan joked. “Thank you for being brave enough to share your truth.” @DavidDobrik I honestly eat my oranges that way too and I’ve been embarrassed to tell anyone until now, thank you for being brave enough to share your truth 😂🍊 — Cindy Mar (@CindyMar91) April 22, 2020 “I knew I wasn’t the only one who bit into their oranges,” another admitted. i knew i wasnt the only one who bit into their oranges.. @DavidDobrik 🤍 — so maria v ☆ (@curlychicaaa) April 22, 2020 While it’s unclear if this is David’s normal method for eating oranges or if he was merely trolling, it’s safe to say that YouTube’s biggest vlogger got the internet talking — despite taking a lengthy hiatus from uploading regular videos.

David Dobrik’s “gift” for Nicole Scherzinger turns into crazy skunk prank YouTube: David DobrikPopular YouTuber David Dobrik left music icon Nicole Scherzinger absolutely terrified when he gave her a ‘gift’ that turned out to actually be a skunk. YouTube vloggers don’t just solely video their daily routines over and over and put them online, others branch out and use their cameras to create content that is different from everyone else. No one has epitomized that more than David Dobrik in recent months, as the leader of the vlog squad has teamed up with movie studios to give away toys, he’s handed out huge tips to people he used to work with, and even created a ‘world record’ with a foam explosion outside his own house. Though with his newest quick-hit upload, he teamed up with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger to make his own childhood dreams come true, as the pair sat in his Tesla and busted out the dance routine from the song ‘Buttons’. When the dancing fun and games were over though, Dobrik quickly teased Scherzinger with a ‘gift’ that required the singer to cover her eyes for a few moments. After a minute, the vlogger returned, dressed in a white hazmat suit and asked the singer: “Do you love animals?” After giving a pretty quick and enthusiastic reply, Scherzinger removed her blindfold with a bit of trepidation and turned around to find a skunk being held aloft in the backseat. Dobrik seemingly got the reaction he wanted as the singer began screaming and looking completely terrified as the vlog drew to a close. Timestamp for mobile viewers: 3:16 Even though the prank seemed to work pretty perfectly, the quick cut to end the vlog brought to an end what could have been a pretty hysterical and extended reaction from the pop star. However, that didn’t seem to matter in the end as the pair shared their well wishes on Twitter after the fact, including a few photos of them together.

David Dobrik’s Dispo app review-bombed following sexual assault allegations Instagram: davidsdisposablePeople have been review-bombing David Dobrik’s photo app ‘Dispo’ over sexual assault allegations made against him regarding a prank he played on a friend for a YouTube video, though some believe that the negative reviews are being deleted. David Dobrik is one of social media’s biggest creators, finding fame on the 6-second video app Vine, and then later drumming up even more support on YouTube where he now has over 18 million subscribers. He has embarked on several business ventures including a QR code puzzle, and recently launched his disposable camera-style photo app, Dispo, which allows people to take photos with a retro feel. However, allegations were recently made against the YouTuber by Seth Francois who accused David of pressuring him into making non-consensual content, particularly regarding a prank video in which Seth was tricked into kissing Jason Nash. David’s friend and fellow content creator Scotty Sire made a video in which he told Seth that: “the magnitude of the lies you’ve been spreading are unforgivable, and you should face repercussions.” He also included a clip from Dobrik himself, who showed texts from Seth saying “I’m down for another kissing sketch,” among other things. Dispo gets review-bombed But many fans are requesting that David address the allegations in full directly, and in screenshots posted by commentary YouTuber Def Noodles, it shows people flocking to the review section of Dispo on the app store and leaving comments regarding the allegations. “Take accountability for what you did to Seth, Trisha, and Big Nick, and more people are coming out,” one commenter wrote, “you’re a terrible person.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1368422403735363586 Another person claimed: “David (and his ‘vlog squad’) has serious sexual assault allegations (with proof) against the, and they are actively censoring comments about it, probably because of this app launch. Please do not support this app, or David and the vlog squad.” However, some have noticed that many of these negative reviews specifically regarding the allegations are no longer appearing on the app store. “It shows me there are only a few reviews at 4 stars, did they just delete them all lol,” one person wrote. Whether David will end up addressing the claims any further is unclear, but many people say they still want a full explanation from the YouTuber.

David Dobrik’s Dispo app resets ratings on App Store after being review bombed YouTube: VIEWSThe overall rating for YouTuber David Dobrik’s new camera app Dispo has been reset on the App Store, after he was review bombed following allegations of a sexual assault prank. David Dobrik is one of the best-known internet stars, with over 18 million subscribers on his main YouTube channel. However, he has come under fire recently after Seth Francois accused David of pressuring him into making non-consensual content. While David has yet to respond to the claims directly, in a video by Scotty Sire defending the YouTuber, he included a video from David that showed texts from Seth implying he was up for doing the sketches. However, many people are asking for an apology or answers from David himself, and have flocked to his social media accounts to leave comments about the issue. This also extended to his new retro-camera app Dispo. On March 7, many people had written negative reviews on the App Store for the app, giving it 1-star ratings and telling others “please do not support this app, or David and the vlog squad.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1368422403735363586 Some users noticed shortly after that some of the negative reviews specifically pertaining to the allegations were no longer appearing on the App Store, but it’s not clear as to why. Read More: Why is Salt Bae trending again? – But now, as commentary YouTuber Def Noodles has noted, the overall rating for the app has been hidden on the app’s page. Who is responsible for the removal is unclear, but it could be a step to prevent the effects of review-bombing. Reviews of the app can still be viewed and added, but a notice on the page reads, “this app’s summary rating was recently reset.” According to Apple’s information for developers, “this summary rating is specific to each territory on the App Store and you can reset it when you release a new version of your app,” however they do say, “we recommend using this feature sparingly,” as it could put people off downloading the app if there aren’t many ratings. The app’s update history shows it was updated “1d ago” at the time of writing, with version 2.0.4 introducing new features and removing the waiting list. While it’s unclear why exactly the rating was reset, many believe it to be related to the review-bombing.

David Dobrik’s assistants in tears after he gives them new Mercedes each YouTube: David DobrikYouTube star David Dobrik left two of his staff members completely stunned and in tears as he revealed that they’d both be getting free Mercedes-Benz cars from him. While many YouTubers document their daily routines and what’s going on with their lives in a daily vlog, David Dobrik has broken the mold with his quick vlogs that round up some of the best and most hilarious moments that he’s been apart of over a week or so. Plenty of these uploads contain him and his friends playing pranks on each other, stunning fans by turning up with a surprise from them, and even delivering help to his pals. It was that last one that was in on show in his newest vlog as Dobrik left two of his assistants completely stunned with his generosity. Concluding his March 2nd upload, the popular YouTuber revealed that Megan and Taylor, his publicist and assistant, would be receiving designer handbags as a gift. Though, he’d be taking it one step further. Inside these bags were keys to a brand-new Mercedes-Benz each and once they had received the keys, neither of them could believe it. Both of them sat with stunned faces and repeatedly saying “no” and “this is not real,” as if they were being pranked. Though, when they headed outside, it wasn’t an elaborate prank to get one over on them. Both Megan and Taylor couldn’t believe and had to hug each other once they laid eyes on their new cars. Obviously, the excitement of the moment turned into tears of joy as Megan opened up her new car, claiming it was “way too nice” for her. Though, she quickly jumped inside and checked it all out. “This is so beautiful and so nice and I love it,” she said as she held back even more tears and sat in her brand-new car. Of course, acts of generosity like this are nothing new to long-time viewers of Dobrik channel, but the reactions from the people he is surprising always make them an entertaining watch. Who he will surprise next and what will be their gift remains to be seen, but their reaction will have to be something else in order to top Megan and Taylor.

David Dobrik’s assistant Natalie responds to vlog squad controversy Instagram: Natalie Noel/ YouTube: David DobrikDavid Dobrik’s assistant Natalie Mariduena has spoken out on Twitter amid a wave of allegations facing the Vlog Squad and David himself. The YouTuber and the Vlog Squad have been met with a number of serious controversies. The majority of these include sexual assault allegations leveled against former Vlog Squad star Dominykas Zeglaitis, better known as ‘Durte Dom,’ dating back to a video in late 2018. Dobrik released a seven-minute video in response on March 22 – his second apology so far. “I fully believe the woman that came out against Dom and said she was sexually assaulted by him,” he said. In the video he revealed he would be “taking a short break” from social media. “It doesn’t feel right to go back to posting how I had been, and it doesn’t feel right to go dark because I love what I do. But I feel like it’s important to show that change is possible and I’m learning. Maybe even forgiveness is possible,” he said. After the allegations against Durte Dom surfaced in March, Dobrik was accused of fostering a toxic workplace on his channel. He has been accused by former YouTube co-workers of creating an atmosphere that left them feeling “worthless” and “traumatized.” Natalie responds Natalie Mariduena is Dobrik’s best friend, assistant, and is dating fellow Vlog Squad member Toddy Smith. As someone central to the group, it was only a matter of time before she was required to speak out on the matter. In a post on Twitter, she wrote: “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the recent allegations, and because of the severity, it’s taken me time to process. Like many of you, I’m upset and angry and do not condone the behavior detailed in the article or any sexual misconduct/abuse for that matter. I want to make it clear that I acknowledge, hear and support those who came forward and I stand by the victims.” The backlash has resulted in Dobrik losing sponsorships with companies such as Electronic Arts and HBO, and efforts to ‘review bomb’ his Dispo app. On March 22, he also left Dispo to “not distract” from the app’s growth. Meanwhile, Dobrik continues to lose huge numbers of followers.

David Dobrik’s assistant Natalie confirms she’s dating Todd Instagram: Todd Smith / Instagram: Natalie Mariduena[jwplayer ZXB9LNVP]YouTube Star David Dobrik’s assistant Natalie Mariduena and Vlog Squad member Todd Smith have long been at the center of a speculated romance in the eyes of fans — now the rumors have finally been confirmed. Natalie officially confirmed that she and Todd Smith are dating in an episode of Dobrik’s Views podcast. Back in February, the ex-boyfriend of Corinna Kopf, Todd Smith, was shown to have some underlying feelings for Natalie, after they all came out in a series of drunk texts one night Naturally, Dobrik put a screenshot of the texts on a huge Los Angeles billboard on Melrose Avenue, right next to an image of Todd’s face. Reading out the texts, David and his friends laugh at messages asking if he can stay with her, telling her “you break my heart,” and finally announcing that he is “falling out of love” with her. In August, an Instagram photo posted by Natalie fuelled the rumors of a blossoming relationship, showing the pair cuddling up on the beach during what seems to be an impromptu beach date. Read More: How to get the anime filter on TikTok – Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR even reached out to Dobrik to confirm the potential relationship — but, the YouTube sensation was also in the dark. “I have no f**king clue hahaha,” Dobrik said of the issue in a reply to KEEMSTAR’s questioning. “I wish I knew, myself.” But in an episode of Dobrik’s Views podcast, Natalie directly confirmed that they’re together. David began by telling the story of how he found out. He said, “We were on a shoot, this was like two months ago, and someone goes ‘yeah I’m just talking to Natalie about her boyfriend.’ And I go ‘what?’ I go ‘it’s her boyfriend? so todd’s her boyfriend?’ and this woman is like ‘whoa wait you don’t know that she has a boyfriend don’t you spend every day together?’ and I was like no she just never told us that.” He added, “Okay so it’s official you guys are dating?” at which point Natalie responded with a firm yes. Putting to rest any fans’ hopes that she and David Dobrik himself had a mysterious romance behind closed doors.

David Dobrik’s assistant Natalie claps back at TikTok hate comments Instagram: Natalie Noel/ YouTube: David DobrikNatalie Mariduena, David Dobrik’s assistant and lifelong friend, has clapped back at people leaving comments attacking the YouTuber under videos on her TikTok. In the past couple of months, David Dobrik has faced enormous backlash after a host of allegations came to light against the YouTuber and the Vlog squad including sexual assault and harassment, resulting in several companies backing out of working with them, and demonetization of Dobrik’s YouTube channel. More recently, Dobrik was accused of causing Jeff Wittek’s life-threatening accident when it was revealed he was sitting in the driver’s seat of the excavator that nearly killed Wittek and gave him several very serious injuries. Natalie Mariduena is incredibly close to Dobrik, as his lifelong friend, assistant, and as the girlfriend of fellow vlog squad member Toddy Hall. It’s unsurprising that fans have been keeping an intense eye on Natalie’s social media. Despite the recent backlash and her proximity to the YouTuber, Natalie has continued to post her own content across her social media channels, but she’s been unable to escape criticism towards David and even herself due to her association with him. In a recent TikTok from Natalie in which she shows off some outfits from her wardrobe, several comments expressed animosity, with one comment saying, “Funny how you get to play dress up as Jeff lays in pain from an accident you probably helped approve.” One person wrote, “When you try to be famous but can’t without David,” while another added, “so irrelevant without David.” Natalie decided to clap back and wrote “Yo some of y’all need to chill. Dave’s still my best fkn friend! Sorry ya missed that in the 10-second TikTok I made in my frggn closet this morning lol.” Meanwhile, several commenters also had her back with one person writing “Bro she’s just trying to make a cute video herself. Why are y’all hating?” With comments such as these still ongoing, it looks as though the backlash against David Dobrik won’t quiet down any time soon.

David Dobrik’s assistant Natalie allegedly called Vlog Squad victims “whores” Instagram: natalinanoelDavid Dobrik’s assistant Natalie Mariduena has come under fire after a former colleague accused her of calling the Vlog Squad and Durte Dom’s victims “whores.” On September 24, Dominykas Zeglatias — better known as Durte Dom — posted a video to YouTube, “exposing the truth” alongside one of Dobrik’s former assistants, Casandra Ramos. In the video, Dom recounts his memory of that night, in which he was accused of sexual assault. He adds that sometimes he had issues separating Durte Dom from Dominykas, admitting that he “f**ked up.” Notably, Casandra had worked with Dobrik and the Vlog Squad at that time, and got tearful in the video when speaking about Dom and the text messages that had been exchanged between everyone involved. Now, Casandra has answered a series of questions on her Instagram story relating to the issue and the Vlog Squad as a whole, and has shared unsavory screenshots of text messages allegedly sent by Natalie. When responding to a question asking if Natalie is “fake in real life like she is on camera,” Casandra responded with a screenshot of a conversation that reportedly occurred between them. “They’re admittedly whores but that’s the point,” says one message from Natalie. “No good girl agrees to hu with Dom, how else would he get that sh*t?” Natalie criticized over alleged messages It’s unclear from the messages who exactly is being referred to as “whores,” but many critics assume the conversation is about the victims who accused Dom of sexual assault. Some commenters said that the messages and behavior were “tacky.” https://twitter.com/BABEYGiRLi/status/1442097946078687232 Others, such as Kt, said that the messages “really show her character.” Doesnt matter if it’s about the victims or not. Calling other women whores and dirty girls is wrong. Really shows her character. — Kt 🌹 (@katy_lady) September 26, 2021 At this point in time, it has not been proven that these messages are from Mariduena herself, or that they are referencing the women who accused Dom of sexual assault. Dexerto has reached out to Mariduena’s representation for comment. They are yet to respond.

David Dobrik explains why he would never fight Adin Ross YouTube: David Dobrik / Twitch: Adin RossThe YouTube boxing phenomenon is still roaring, and many have asked for the vlog star David Dobrik to hop right in. However, that isn’t happening any time soon, with the YouTuber explaining why he won’t fight Adin Ross, or anyone for that matter. We’ve had TikTokers fight YouTubers and YouTubers fight Twitch stars. Influencer boxing fights don’t seem to be stopping, with more stars hopping on board the hype train. David Dobrik, however, isn’t one of them. The YouTube vlog star laid low during the highs of influencer boxing, dealing with allegations of harassment on the set of his Vlog Squad series. Even then though, Dobrik doesn’t want to punch on with anyone in the streamer and influencer community. When posed a question about potentially fighting Adin Ross, Dobrik brushed it off. The YouTube star doesn’t want to fight anyone — mostly because he can’t. “Bro, I can’t fight anybody. I wish. I wish there was like a different sport,” he said. “Any racquet sport, I know that makes me sound like even a bigger p*ssy, but anything like Ping Pong, Tennis, even like basketball, but I can’t fight. I can’t do it.” However, Dobrik didn’t exactly put the fight to bed. If he’s pressured enough, he conceded that he’ll “have to at some point” — either against Adin Ross or another internet star. The related segment begins at 3:45. Fighting obviously isn’t for everyone. With all the training and preparation that comes beforehand, that is time that could be spent on other things like filming vlogs for Dobrik. However, expanding these fights into other sporting pursuits would make for interesting content. If someone takes him up on his offer on a cheeky game of table tennis, a new “meta” regarding YouTuber challenges could kick-off.

David Dobrik & Vlog Squad get their own Discovery show for Shark Week Discovery / David DobrikYouTuber David Dobrik is set to appear in a special titled ‘Sharkbait’ along with several other members of the Vlog Squad, as part of the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. After David Dobrik released his second apology video following the Vlog Squad scandal back in March, the hugely influential vlogger took a break of several months from the internet, ceasing all content creation and social media activity. Since he uploaded his first vlog back, the YouTuber has been gradually getting back into the swing of content creation (to mixed audience reception.) Now he’s taking his content one step beyond YouTube, teaming up with Discovery Plus to create a special for Shark Week. Shark Week is an annual programming block created by Steve Cheskin at the Discovery Channel, which as the name suggests, focuses on shark-related content for a week. The special is called ‘Sharkbait,’ and will feature David alongside several other members of the Vlog Squad including Jason Nash, Jonah, and Natalie. Join us for the biggest Shark Week event of the year! Viral Internet sensation – and our very own Dodgeball Thunderdome host – David Dobrik took his Vlog Squad on a once in a lifetime shark diving trip. SHARKBAIT premieres Sunday, July 11, exclusively on Discovery+. pic.twitter.com/5SW3pjXqSs — Pilgrim Studios (@Pilgrim_Studios) July 9, 2021 A tweet by Pilgrim Studios explains that the episode will center around David taking the Vlog Squad on “a once in a lifetime shark diving trip.” The description for the show reads: “Internet sensation David Dobrik and his friends are on the craziest adventure yet… Diving with SHARKS! When faced with bad weather and sharks larger than they expected, these 20-somethings quickly find themselves asking, “Why did we go on Shark Week?” From #dodgeball to @SharkWeek !! @DavidDobrik and the gang take on the challenge of #sharkweek2021!! Check out #sharkbait in @discoveryplus July 11th pic.twitter.com/mQWj7ynnvK — Nicholas Caprio (@ncaprio) June 29, 2021 Response to the announcement of the special has been decidedly mixed, with some fans looking forward to seeing the influencer back working on big projects, and others less than impressed to see him score a show with Discovery. ‘Sharkbait’ will be available exclusively on Discovery Plus, and is set to premiere on July 11.

David Dobrik uploads and immediately privates first YouTube video in a year Instagram: daviddobrikDavid Dobrik returned to YouTube with his first upload in a year — but immediately privated the video, leaving fans confused. David Dobrik is one of the most prominent creators on YouTube, but he’s been absent from the platform for about a year now. According to dates on his two YouTube channels, Dobrik hasn’t uploaded in a year. However, he has been active on TikTok and Instagram, where he’s been posting occasionally from month to month. Fans are missing the YouTuber’s famous and chaotic vlogs… and it looked like they’d finally gotten their wish when Dobrik apparently uploaded a surprise video to his second channel in early August, 2023. David Dobrik fans confused after YouTuber privates first upload in a year Shortly after uploading, Dobrik seemingly made his first upload in a year private. Only those who have the link are able to watch it. According to claims from those who supposedly viewed the video before it was made unavailable, it was simply a compilation of the many times Dobrik had surprised his buddies with celebrities in the past. Dobrik, who boasts a combined 25.9 million subscribers across two channels, is known to rub elbows with celebrities from time to time. He’s apparently good friends with Howie Mandel, and even created a video surprising people with Justin Bieber that went viral. Dobrik seemingly has not addressed this odd upload of his, leaving fans disappointed and confused and hoping for another one of his famous vlogs to pop up in the near future. Over the past year, Dobrik did make some content with famous streamer IShowSpeed, with the two creators giving away Teslas to fans back in May. Giveaways and surprises are a huge part of Dobrik’s content, so it makes sense that fans were left a bit rattled after seeing a montage of his past exploits and not another over-the-top celebrity encounter as seemingly promised by the video’s title. For now, we’ll just have to wait to see if Dobrik delivers on another vlog.

David Dobrik under fire after literally setting assistant’s hair on fire YouTube: David DobrikIn a recent Snapchat video, David Dobrik can be seen throwing fire onto assistant Natalie Marideuna, her hair even catching on fire briefly during the video. David Dobrik is facing controversy yet again after one of his latest Snapchat stories included him throwing actual fire at others. Def Noodles posted Dobrik’s video on both Twitter and Instagram, captioning the upload “David being David.” In the video, Dobrik could be heard speaking behind the camera. In the video, Marideuna and another person began jokingly acting out a scene from Harry Potter. At the end of the reenactment, Dobrik whipped out a wand and shouted “Incendio”, the name of the fire-casting spell in the Harry Potter universe. Dobrik then proceeded to seemingly throw an inflamed item at the other participants. At a first glance, it appeared as though the flame had simply bounced off of Marideuna and almost immediately gone out. However, eagle-eyed viewers slowed the video down and screenshotted the moment when Marideuna’s hair caught on fire for a brief moment. Online response from viewers has been that of disappointment but not of surprise. In 2022, Dobrik still has over 18 million subscribers on YouTube. He was once one of the biggest social media influencers and found fame through his early videos on Vine and then later his YouTube content. However, after being the center of a range of harassment and sexual assault allegations in 2021, he has become increasingly less active on social media. Dobrik has almost found himself in the middle of lawsuit charges and NFT controversies. Just recently, he appeared on the Zane and Heath: UNFILTERED podcast and spoke about how he was almost not allowed to enter Europe as a result of issues with his Visa. For all the latest news and updates on David Dobrik as well as other influences and streamers, check out Dexerto’s entertainment full coverage here.

David Dobrik transforms into an old man with insane makeup Instagram: David DobrikInternet sensation David Dobrik has completely transformed himself into an old man with incredible makeup that looks extremely realistic. Despite a recent spout of allegations against Dobrik, the YouTuber is still marching forward into 2021 with an array of huge projects and business ventures, with his more recent efforts going into his photo-sharing app Dispo. The internet sensation posted an Instagram photo of himself on Monday night revealing the results of a grueling 9-hour process that turned him from a 24-year old into a very old man. The look was complete with wispy white hair, which David revealed alone cost $8,000, and a beige-themed outfit including a white shirt, woolly cardigan, and beige chinos. No detail was left untouched with Dobrik’s neck given the same texture as his face and made to look slightly gaunt, while his hands were also given wrinkles and sunspots to display signs of aging. He was even given contact lenses to make his look even more convincing. On Instagram, he noted that he absolutely terrified his parents and added “This is the most f***ing insane makeup I’ve ever worn in my entire life… it’s so scary I can’t stop looking at it!” As it turns out, the transformation was all part of a new commercial for David’s photo app Dispo which he posted to his second YouTube channel. The commercial shows the older Dobrik crying and looking at polaroid images of him and his friends from the present day. A blonde child then runs in and the pair start playing together, with the message of the ad being to “live in the moment.” Reactions from his friends and other famous influencers are, of course, hilarious. Toddy Smith commented, “can’t believe you made the carpet match the drapes!!,” while even singer Hailee Steinfeld commented with a fire emoji. Others took the opportunity to joke about David’s long break from YouTube with one person adding “David when he uploads his next vlog on the main channel.” In the meantime, the photo-sharing app has found incredible success with recent reports claiming major venture capital firms Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Benchmark have all expressed interest in investing in the company’s Series A funding round. Additionally, reports claim investors have offered to value the company at $100m or more.

David Dobrik trademarks reveal he’s starting a surprising new business Instagram: DavidDobrikDavid Dobrik could be set to expand his reach outside of YouTube after a TikToker uncovered some pretty interesting trademarks made in his name – including one for a pizza restaurant. When it comes to vloggers on YouTube, there might be none bigger than David Dobrik. The leader of the ‘Vlog Squad’ has over 26 million subscribers across his two channels, and fans are always desperate for new content. While his YouTube has taken a bit of a backseat in recent months, given everything that’s going on, the 24-year-old might have plans in the work. Specifically, potential plans to start a pizza empire after trademarks for the phrase ‘Doughbrik’s’ were uncovered online. David Dobrik pizza trademarks The three trademarks were uncovered by TikTokker JWLexi on October 5, and are still live on the US Patent and Trademark office’s website by searching Dobrik’s name. All three of the trademarks – which all fall under the Doughbrik’s brand – were filed on August 25, however, they all relate to different products, including one for merchandise like t-shirts, hats, and such. The other two, though, are much more interesting. One is all about being able to make and sell frozen pizza’s under the Doughbrik’s tag. The other is for restaurant services, thus sparking speculation that the YouTuber could be opening up his own pizza joint – be it for a video or as an actual, running business. Now, companies and people will regularly register a trademark to protect any bright ideas they may have, and will they typically cause rampant speculation, many never actually see the light of day. However, given that Dobrik has three separate trademarks for one thing – and his admitted love of pizza – it could actually be something that’s in the works. We’ll just have to wait and see if he starts cooking up slices anytime soon.

David Dobrik totally shocks Charli D’Amelio’s friend with Tesla after Dispo wheel spin YouTube: Charli D’AmelioYouTube star David Dobrik celebrated the launch of his new Dispo app with a ‘Wheel of Fortune’ style Tesla giveaway — but one contestant didn’t get a car, even though they’d technically won. David Dobrik’s photo-taking app is now available for download on the Apple App Store after months of development and promotion by the internet celebrity. To celebrate, Dobrik took a giant wheel around Los Angeles and challenged his friends to spin it for the chance of winning one of several Teslas — or just getting a dollar, with a certain amount donated to charity by David, himself. Despite the unfavorable odds, all of Dobrik’s Teslas were eventually won by his contestants — all except one, who spun the wheel after each of the vehicles had been successfully nabbed. Although fully aware that his chances of getting a Tesla were nil, even though he’d landed on the winning spot, Charli D’Amelio’s friend Markell delivered a hilarious and rousing speech as thanks for making a successful spin. However, Charli felt that her friend deserved to win a Tesla for beating the game of chance, as he’d mentioned that he did not have a car at the time of playing, and contacted Dobrik to surprise him after the fact. Of course, Dobrik isn’t one to surprise people in normal ways, and showed up to the D’Amelio family home to gift Markell some “merchandise” as an apology for his unexpected win. View this post on Instagram After their awkward exchange passed, Dobrik presented Markell with a Tesla key, causing the lucky winner to bolt across the room and scream out of excitement — making for one of the most explosive reactions Dobrik has ever seen in all his years of philanthropic gift-giving. “I literally said I lost my dad, and Marc [D’Amelio] was like, ‘I’ll always be here for you, I’m a father figure for you,’” Markell said after his hype finally died down. “I just really appreciate that. Thank you so much for just being an amazing family, always encouraging me to follow my dreams, and just always being real.” Charli’s latest video is enough to bring a tear to your eye, giving viewers a much-needed dose of wholesome content that makes us all wish we were her best friend.

David Dobrik to host new Discovery Channel dodgeball show Discovery Channel / The Hollywood Reporter[jwplayer mgzBNoPb] David Dobrik is one of YouTube’s biggest stars, best known for his hilarious, fast-paced vlogs — but now, he’s taking his talents to reality television with a brand-new competition show centered around the classic schoolyard game of dodgeball. Yep, you read that right; David Dobrik will soon become a television game show host for none other than the Discovery Channel, where he will pit groups of players against each other in an extreme version of dodgeball. The show, titled “Dodgeball: Thunderdome,” will throw down on a 13.8-acre arena, and its competitors will include both professional athletes and contestants who may not be so sports-savvy. When will the first episode air? The first episode of Dodgeball: Thunderdome (hearkening back to the Mad Max title of Hollywood fame) will air on Wednesday, August 9 at 9 PM. Although Dobrik is a YouTuber first and foremost, fans will have to catch the action on TV via the Discovery Channel — not your laptop or smartphone. How will it work? This isn’t any ordinary game of dodgeball: The Hollywood Reporter teased that, in this competition series, “winners are not determined simply by their strength and the losers aren’t always picked last,” hinting that there will be more challenges than just throwing a ball at the opposition. “I’m super excited to be working with Discovery on Dodgeball Thunderdome,” Dobrik said of the upcoming show, as told by THR. “Dodgeball was always everyone’s favorite game in gym class and hosting this show brings back many sweaty memories of dominating in Vernon Hills.” How many episodes is Dobrik’s new show? As revealed by The Hollywood Reporter on August 4, the show will be nine episodes long, with the final episode bringing back each winner for a special knockdown, drag-out battle of the champs. Considering Dobrik’s penchant for crazy antics and insane pranks, this new series comes as little surprise from the YouTuber who’s teamed up with the likes of Kevin Hart and even Howie Mandell in previous collaborations. Mark your calendars and set an alarm — this is one insane show fans won’t want to miss!

David Dobrik throws Jason Nash insane surprise 3am birthday party Jason Nash, InstagramYouTube star David Dobrik gave his pal Jason Nash the shock of his life after discovering an insane birthday party waiting for him downstairs, but he wasn’t exactly wide awake when he first heard the music blurring. Dobrik uploaded a hilarious surprise video to his YouTube channel, which has over 12 million subscribers at the time of writing, showing everything that was going on behind the scenes to make sure that his friend woke up to the shock of his life. The video started with something very different, though, as the pair teamed up in a game of tennis, where they made easy work of their opponents Geoff Wittek and professional DJ Dillon Francis in a $10,000 wager match. After working successfully on the tennis court, Dobrik decided to set up a surprise birthday party for Nash, but he couldn’t have ever expected to wake up to the nightclub-style setup that had been put together downstairs. “Later that night we decided to throw Jason a surprise birthday party with the help of our new DJ friend Dillon Francis,” Dobrik explains in the video, before waking up his friend. “So, at 3am, while Jason was sleeping, we snuck into his home, brought all of Dillon’s equipment, set up lights, and hired 150 extras to come inside and complete the nightclub experience.” (Timestamped below at 1:18 for the start of the tennis match) Jason soon crawled out of his bed and was greeted by everybody downstairs, before being handed a bottle of Grey Goose vodka – even with his eyes barely open. He soon jumped right into the action as well, before bursting into tears while reading out what David had also given to him for his birthday. “Happy birthday old fart. Good job on your tennis match today, I took the winnings and opened…” he said, before pausing while reading Dobrik’s card. “I opened up an account for your kids’ college tuition,” the rest of the message stated. The whole group came together to sing along to ABBA’s Dancing Queen before the video came to a close, sealing what looked like an incredible – and emotional – surprise for the YouTuber.

David Dobrik teases vlog with Justin Bieber outside UCLA YouTube star David Dobrik and Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber were seen filming together outside of the University of California, Los Angeles, hinting at yet another outrageous vlog for the future. Known for his insanely popular vlogs, David Dobrik is one of YouTube’s top content creators, boasting over 15 million subscribers on the platform, and a slew of high-profile connections like Howie Mandell and Kylie Jenner. However, looks like the vlogger’s content is getting yet another major celebrity appearance, as the social media star was seen filming with none other than Justin Bieber outside of UCLA in early January. Several photos and videos taken at the scene show Bieber posting up outside a vehicle, speaking with fans and encouraging them to sing his new single, “Yummy,” as he danced along before hopping inside the car.

David Dobrik teases new pizza shop ‘Doughbriks’ ahead of LA opening YouTube, Instagram: David DobrikLast year, it was speculated that YouTube star David Dobrik was gearing up to open his very own pizzeria— and now, he’s finally teased some of the restaurant’s eats ahead of its launch in LA. David Dobrik has returned to the internet after undergoing a slew of accusations from former Vlog Squad members and other influencers… but it doesn’t look like the controversies are putting a damper on his comeback. On July 21, the vlogger shared a couple of videos to his Instagram stories, confirming that he and friend Ilya Fedorovich are launching their very own pizza company, humorously named ‘Doughbriks.’ “So, as you know, Iliya and I are launching a pizza company,” Dobrik said, interrupted by an excited Ilya shouting, “Doughbrik’s pizza, baby!” “We’ve been taste-testing pizzas for months, and we still have months to go, but here is one of the pizzas that we’re kind of getting closer on. I’m gonna show you,” he continued. “I don’t wanna show any more. I’m just gonna show one pizza, but this is it.” The pie in question was just “one version” of your standard cheese pizza. According to Dobrik, it’s merely a “potential” addition to their upcoming venture, which — according to the Doughbriks official Instagram page — will be launching in Los Angeles “soon.” This latest teaser comes nearly a year after speculation mounted regarding Dobrik opening a possible pizzeria, after three trademark filings for ‘Doughbriks’ became public knowledge. The trademarks were filed under three business categories: restaurant services, frozen pizzas, and clothing, meaning that Doughbriks could be making its very own merch line. This isn’t the first restaurant that a member of the Vlog Squad has opened up, either; influencer Nick “Jonah” Antonyan notably opened ‘Jonah’s Kebob’ in Hollywood in honor of his father, which has been featured in numerous videos from fellow collaborators ever since. Considering the slew of allegations surrounding Dobrik at the moment, it seems that public opinion on the vlogger’s latest eatery is decidedly mixed… but the jury’s still out on the taste test.

David Dobrik surprises friends with a brand new house for Christmas David Dobrik is more than a mere YouTuber: the platform’s vlogging star is also known for his charitable acts of kindness, which he bestowed upon some well-deserving friends just in time for the holiday season. Much like YouTube philanthropist Mr Beast, David Dobrik is hailed for his generosity, having notably gifted his assistant two new cars as thanks for her hard work. However, it’s not just his assistant who’s getting awesome gifts — Dobrik also shows ample love to his friends, three of which he gave a single present that would change their lives. Dobrik set up an elaborate plan to “prank” three buddies from his hometown, asking them to leave work early and sending them all to a “random address” with the proposed intent of surprising another one of their mutual friends. After going inside the house listed at the “random address,” Dobrik revealed that the “surprise” was actually the home itself, which he gave the group a $10k check to fill with furniture and accessories of their choosing. “I have a check here for the three of you for $10,000,” the vlogger explained. “You guys can use it to furnish your new place. That we’re standing in.” In a moment of shock and realization, Dobrik’s pals didn’t seem to believe the news, before bursting out into cheers that they didn’t have to deal with their parents anymore. “I don’t have to walk the dogs anymore!” One shouted. “What the hell is this?” Another exclaimed. “You got a house for all three of us? This is insane?” “You’re joking,” the third said. “Thank god, no more mom! F*** you, mom!” Thanks to his sponsor, Dobrik was able to share some genuine cheer and goodwill for the holidays in a major way — a similar, heartwarming gesture to that of YouTuber Mr Beast, who outfitted both a pizza delivery man and the winner of his $1 million challenge with new homes earlier in December. Although his YouTube adsense may not be panning out in the best way, it doesn’t look like Dobrik is letting the algorithm stop him from supporting his best friends during the Christmas season.

David Dobrik surprises fan’s dad during impromptu trip Superstar YouTuber David Dobrik surprised one of his older fans with an impromptu house call that shocked their entire family. The Vlog Squad member has a massive audience, boasting over 15 million subscribers on YouTube alone, and it turns out that his viewership features people of all ages. One particular viewer explained to Dobrik that her dad was a huge fan of his and was always asking about the latest video that’s been uploaded. “So, since I’ve been home from college on winter break, every night my dad has come to me to watch a random David Dobrik vlog,” she explained. That’s when she decided to work something out with the YouTuber – to get him to show up at her house to surprise her unsuspecting dad. This led to Dobrik flying all the way out to New Jersey to surprise the whole family. Like she said in the now-viral TikTok video, her father was much more excited to see him than she was. We flew to New Jersey to surprise her dad!! pic.twitter.com/Z5gSE8qdal — DAVID DOBRIK (@DavidDobrik) January 29, 2020 The family took a few pictures with the former Vine star and then sat down on the couch together to watch some of his old vlogs. This type of opportunity doesn’t present itself very often so it’s good to see the household was able to take complete advantage of it. Acts like this are just one of the many reasons Dobrik’s popularity has skyrocketed. He’s also known for making wild videos that feature him doing a variety of wacky things like making Teslas fly or performing basketball trick shots with a jetpack. When he’s not making literal house calls like this, he can often be seen handing out obscene amounts of cash to throngs of fans that chase him around whenever he’s spotted in public. His philanthropy is also well-documented. While not at the insane levels of fellow YouTuber superstar MrBeast, Dobrik does more than his fair share of helping others out, such as when he gave $10,000 to a lucky college student to help with the cost of her studies. Considering how fast his popularity continues to rise among the YouTube ranks, who knows what other surprises David has up his sleeve.

David Dobrik surprises D’Amelio’s and the Hype House with Mariachi band Instagram: daviddobrik / Instagram: thehypehouselaYouTube extraordinaire David Dobrik has definitely gone the extra mile for some of his closest friends, including Charli and Dixie D’Amelio and the Hype House, by sending Mariachi bands to their houses to give some gifts. What exactly? A new merch line. David Dobrik doesn’t do anything by halves. No matter if it’s getting up to some crazy party antics (before lockdown, of course), or giving out hundreds of thousands to his fans, he does everything his own way. It makes sense then Dobrik would try and show off his exciting new projects in an exciting way. Instagram stories have been flooded on September 3 with David Dobrik flocking across Los Angeles, dropping off some gifts to friends. In classic Dobrik-style though, he wouldn’t just ring the doorbell. Instead, he made the entire occasion a party. The social media star sent a team out to the streets of Los Angeles to drop off PR packages for his new merch. He just also brought along a Mariachi band, in what might be the marketing stunt of the year so far. Every time he went over to a new friend’s house, the Mariachi band would be playing while Natalie Mariduena, his roommate, popped out of an oversized gift box to hand out parcels of merchandise. He pretty much went to every big name influencer who was willing. He went to the D’Amelio’s house, the Hype House, James Charles’, Zach Clayton’s, and more. All of the stars shared Dobrik’s antics onto social media, thanking Dobrik and Natalie for the hot drop. Some of the influencers even made a video out of it — just check out Alex Warren’s Instagram story with his DSLR. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1301656715578888194 The whole stunt signals exciting times for Dobrik fans. The YouTuber hasn’t uploaded to his primary channel in almost five months. Instead, he’s been working on other projects like the Dodgeball Thunderdome show on Discovery, and even streaming on Twitch. New merch is just around the corner, so be sure to snap it up quick once it drops.

David Dobrik stunned by YouTuber Airrack’s prank to appear in his vlog Airrack, YouTubeRising YouTuber ‘Airrack’ has managed to sneak his way into a David Dobrik vlog as part of his latest challenge on March 7. Many YouTubers are starting to rise to fame on the video-sharing platform for their incredible attempts at sneaking their way into different public events without being invited or having a ticket. Content creator ‘Airrack’ who has been growing a considerable following for documenting his entertaining efforts at the new trend has challenged himself once again, although this time he was insistent on appearing in a David Dobrik Vlog. David Dobrik currently has one of the most popular Vlog series on YouTube and often pulls in millions of viewers for his weekly episodes with appearances from stars like Justin Bieber. Following his last challenge to meet Offset at CDL Atlanta, Airrack expressed his desire for appearing in one of Dobrik’s uploads, adding, “Everybody under the age of 25’s biggest dream is to be in one of David Dobrik’s vlogs.” As the self-proclaimed “king of sneaking into things,” Airrack then explained that his grand plan to get into the popular video series was to prank his fellow YouTuber by pulling up to him in a custom-wrapped car with Dobrik’s face on it. With some help from Canadian comedian Howie Mandel, who is a regular guest in the popular vlog series, Airrack managed to gather ‘The Vlog Squad’ together for the hilarious prank. Before surprising the popular content creator, he dressed up in a wig and David Dobrik’s usual attire to imitate him when they finally came face to face. After eventually making his way to their studio, Airrack hopped out of the passenger seat with a vlog camera in hand and started to act similar to how Dobrik would in his videos. Dobrik was quick to recognize the YouTuber for his past videos and was quite interested in how he managed to pull the prank off. Although Airrack’s ultimate goal of appearing in a David Dobrik vlog has not yet been confirmed as the YouTuber has yet to upload since it took place, it seems quite likely that David will feature the incredible prank in his vlog series as well.

David Dobrik stunned after stranger drops off kitten on his doorstep YouTube: GQ / Freepik.comStrange occurrences continue to happen to David Dobrik; after being stalked by a “scary” viewer for days, the YouTuber has now become the unexpected owner of a kitten that was dropped off at his doorstep by an unknown person. [jwplayer mgzBNoPb] David Dobrik is one of YouTube’s biggest stars, boasting well over 19 million subscribers on the website, alone (not to mention his additional 14 million followers on Instagram). Known for his high-energy vlogs and generous cash giveaways, it makes sense that his charitable nature has made him quite an impressive figure in the online world; but it seems his celebrity status is having some serious, real-world ramifications. Earlier this week, Dobrik mentioned that he’d been stalked by a mentally disturbed viewer, who had sat outside his home for two days before keying his assistant’s blue Ford Bronco with odd symbols. Luckily, Dobrik was able to get the fan the help she needed, after she claimed that voices inside her head had directed her to come to his home to get “answers” ; but that’s far from the strangest thing that has happened to the YouTuber in recent days. In an Instagram story uploaded on October 8, Dobrik revealed video footage from his CCTV that showed a mysterious stranger placing a bag at his front gate before immediately turning away. Luckily, it wasn’t a bomb or any other dangerous item. Instead, inside the bag was a Clickbait hoodie, a clear, plastic baggie full of makeup items, and a gray kitten. “Someone dropped off this kitten at our front door,” the vlogger said while showing off the animal. “Please, take it back.” While the rest of the Vlog Squad weren’t convinced that he hadn’t had someone over at the house previously, it seems that one of YouTube’s most popular personalities has become the unintended foster dad of a Russian Blue cat — which wouldn’t be a terrible development, for some cat lovers out there. It’s not clear what Dobrik intends to do with the animal moving forward. You never know — the kitty might even become the newest member of the Vlog Squad!

David Dobrik stunned after raising $4m for disposable camera app Instagram: David’s DisposableDavid Dobrik and his assistant Natalie Mariduena were left in utter shock after their couch idea for an app raised $4 million in investment. The internet star announced on Wednesday that his photography app Dispo, or David’s Disposable, is being invested in by Reddit Co-founder Alexis Ohanian. David is a social media giant with an enormous subscriber base of 26 million on his main and second channel combined, and over 22 million followers on TikTok. Natalie celebrated the news on Instagram with a picture of her and David holding a real disposable camera, with the caption, “still can’t believe this couch idea just raised four million dollars hahaha so ridiculous, but so exciting!!” David also expressed his disbelief, adding on his own Instagram: “We just raised 4 million dollars for Davids Disposable!!!!! Hahahahaha WHAT!!” https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDZPJMnjGM/?igshid=1q1kjru494o4l The app itself is designed to mimic what is like to use a real disposable camera. You take the pictures and you can’t see them until the next day at 9am. The idea came to David and Natalie after they realized just how much they loved the surprise of finding out what the pictures looked like after they were developed. According to the Wall Street Journal, the latest investment will be used to add new features to the app, including allowing users to pool their images all in one place. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDa4Z2MO4S/ David himself has made no effort to hide his obsession with disposable cameras. He has his own alt instagram account, which has amassed 3.4 million followers, called “David’s Disposable” dedicated entirely to pictures taken with these cameras. He has even inspired other influencers including Tana Mongeau and Addison Rae to do the same. The popular vlogger’s business plans are currently booming. He recently released a new advert with model Charlotte D’Alessio for his new perfume “David’s Perfume”, after which he had to shut down rumors that the pair were dating. David may have potential plans to start a pizza empire too after trademarks for the phrase ‘Doughbrik’s’ were uncovered by a TikToker. On the other hand, his YouTube channel has taken a backseat in recent months; he hasn’t posted any videos since April. Perhaps this is why.

David Dobrik stunned after Kevin Hart pranks him with The Rock YouTube: Kevin HartYouTube star David Dobrik was left heartbroken after comedian Kevin Hart announced he’d get a chance to meet The Rock – only to be told he was actually being pranked. David Dobrik is one of those YouTubers who is comfortably sitting on the verge of certified celebrity status, having befriended and made videos with the likes of Kylie Jenner and Justin Bieber in the past. Now, David has made an appearance in Kevin Hart’s ‘What the Fit?’ web series, where he inspires people to work out and get in shape– and had his classic practical jokes turned on him, for once. While Dobrik himself is typically the one pulling the pranks and making jokes with his friends, he got a taste of his own medicine when he appeared in Hart’s show, where he helped conduct a huge public workout in Los Angeles. In Hollywood, anything is possible, and that definitely seemed to be the case when Kevin Hart introduced him to long-time friend and colleague Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson – arguably one of the biggest celebrities in the world. Naturally, everybody involved in the workout lost their minds – including Dobrik himself, whose mouth immediately dropped in disbelief that he was about to meet The Rock. (Timestamp 12:13 for mobile viewers) Unfortunately, Hart later made it clear that Johnson wasn’t there at all, and that he had pranked them all, hysterically laughing at his own joke. “I got so excited,” Dobrik said to Hart after the reveal. “My face went numb.” He wasn’t the only one, either; you can see the pure look of disappointment across the entire crowd, with David even pointing out that one girl was crying due to the excitement of the moment. Hart simply laughed it off and said: “F**k him, we’re leading this charge,” before getting on with the routine – though David made it clear that meeting The Rock would’ve been far more exciting than any workout. It’s fair to say that if David managed to get both Kevin Hart and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in the vlog, it might have Dobrik’s biggest video ever.

David Dobrik stunned after Kardashians’ viral FaceTime TikTok prank TikTok: kyliejenner / Instagram: daviddobrikThe Kardashian family decided to cause some TikTok chaos on December 3 when they collectively FaceTimed some random celebrity contacts, and creators like David Dobrik and James Charles were on their hit list. If there’s anyone who can make a stir on social media, it’s undoubtedly the Kardashian family. With their immense power and wealth, they could pull some insane pranks if they truly wanted to. But sometimes staying simple ends up being far funnier, so the family teamed up with each other to spook some of the famous faces in their contact list. While plenty of influential people naturally will have collected a couple of phone numbers from members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, for many it’s unlikely that they ever expected them to call. And the Kardashians know that full well. In two videos uploaded to Kylie Jenner’s TikTok account, the viewfinder shows a large group of Kardashians standing in a group facing the phone, almost eerily still. The group cycled through a selection of staggeringly famous faces, like actress Jennifer Lawrence and singer Justin Bieber. However, there were a couple of faces that popped up that some may have been surprised to see. The phone screen showed that it was connecting to hugely popular YouTuber David Dobrik, and as soon as he answered he looked thoroughly confused. He quickly ripped off his face mask and looked even closer at his screen, immediately saying “that’s f***king ridiculous” when he realized that he had in fact just been called by the Kardashian family. Another familiar influencer pranked by the family was beauty YouTuber James Charles, who has a friendship with Kylie Jenner and has collaborated with her on his channel several times. Even he looked thoroughly baffled to have received an unannounced call, saying “what is going on?” In the comments of the video, David said that “I thought I was being recruited,” whereas James had the opposite reaction and wrote, “I thought I was about to get sued.” The hilariously chaotic video now has a colossal 10.5 million likes, with fans loving the perfectly executed prank by the Kardashian family.

David Dobrik spooked after drone leaves “creepy” note at his home Instagram / TikTok: daviddobrikYet again, something bizarre has been dropped off at YouTuber David Dobrik’s house, this time a bag of Chipotle along with a slightly unnerving note flown into his backyard via drone. David Dobrik has accumulated an enormous fan base on YouTube both as part of the Vlog Squad and as an independent creator. With 18.5 million subscribers, and 23.5 million followers on TikTok, he’s certainly not short of people who love his content and personality. However, being an online personality of such a large scale comes with its lack of privacy, and that exposure to the world in turn has some bizarre side effects, as David has experienced before. Earlier in October, the content creator was stunned to find that someone had left an actual kitten on his doorstep in a duffel bag. CCTV footage captured a mysterious stranger placing the bag at his door, but their identity could not be determined. Clearly that incident has inspired others to try their luck at delivering something to his house without direct consent. Mysterious drone arrives for David Dobrik In a video uploaded to his TikTok account, David showed a small drone placing a paper bag of Chipotle in his backyard. “Bro, this is so scary. Someone f**king flew Chipotle on a drone into my backyard, I’m not f**king kidding. What if it’s a f**king bomb, what do I do?” Also attached to the machine was a little green bag, which when opened revealed some other items along with a small orange handwritten note. The note stated “you probably do not know who we are. But soon, the name Project better will be much more familiar. Thank you for being awesome, see you soon.” The mysterious group went on to say that “if you want to film it we’ll be at the nearest Chipotle on riverside with one picture on it. PS: the sauce is half-full because it was too heavy. Enjoy.” While the incident appears to be relatively well-intentioned, it clearly freaked David and his friends out. The mysterious note referring to a group that will soon be “familiar” to him is certainly eerie, as is the ease at which it was able to access his yard. It’s not yet clear whether David will really end up meeting the senders of the drone, or even if he ate the food it brought, but people certainly found it interesting as the video now has over 600,000 likes and 2.6 million views.

David Dobrik left speechless after superfan gets a tattoo of YouTube star YouTube: David DobrikYouTube Star David Dobrik was left speechless after a devoted superfan approached him on the streets and revealed that she’s had a tattoo of his name on her finger for more than two years. Celebrities and internet personalities are no strangers to seeing their names and faces tattooed on fan’s bodies. Everyone from CorpseHusband, Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys, and Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, to Joe Rogan have experienced it. However, that doesn’t make it any less shocking. It must be surreal to see a fan so dedicated to you and your content, they’re willing to have a symbol of you permanently etched on their skin. David Dobrik got to experience that first-hand after encountering a superfan on the streets. David filmed a video of him talking to the fan posted it on Instagram. “This girl has had this for two years,” he said as he zoomed in on the tattoo located on the inner side of her middle finger. “What was the point of it?” “Because I love you,” she replied before nervously looking away from the camera. Some viewers described the interaction as “creepy” and “cult-like,” while others maintained that it’s her body and her choice. View this post on Instagram Dobrik still has a loyal fanbase even after all the controversy and drama he’s been involved in, and this fan’s tattoo proves it. Some believe his celebrated comeback is a worrying trend. But that hasn’t stopped him from diving into new and exciting projects like his all-new travel show, Discovering David Dobrik.

David Dobrik slaps assistant so hard she bleeds in viral TikTok bet gone wrong TikTok/daviddobrikPopular YouTube sensation David Dobrik has gone viral on TikTok for all the wrong reasons after brutally slapping his assistant for purposing a wager that would forbid him from seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home. David Dobrik is one of the internet’s biggest influencers with millions of followers on Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. As such, he’s amassed quite the fortune, but that hasn’t prevented him from still having quite a few controversial moments, the latest of which involving his assistant Natalie Mariduena. Let’s just say, don’t come between Dobrik and Spider-Man unless you want to end up with a bloody face. David Dobrik makes assistant bleed over Spider-Man TikTok bet In a viral clip uploaded on November 11, Dobrik along with Natalie were playing a game where each player would take turns trying to throw a marker into a glass a few feet away. Before throwing the marker, the person whose turn it was would propose a bet. If it went in, the bet would need to be fulfilled. Seems simple and fair enough, right? Well… When it was his turn, David wagered that if he could make the shot, Natalie would be forced to work for free for a week. While it’s unclear if he actually intended to make her go through with such a stipulation is unclear, but he ended up missing the shot regardless. Click here if TikTok fails to load. To follow this up, Natalie proposed that if she land the marker in the glass, David wouldn’t be able to see Spider-Man: No Way Home the day it comes out. Before she could even make the toss, David smacked her right in the face, stopping the shot, but also causing her to bleed, potentially because of her glasses. “You f**king psycho!” she laughed as Dobrik bowed down in an apologetic position. “I’m so sorry,” he said as Natalie turned the camera on herself, showing her bloody face. “I was trying to hit the marker!” “Yeah, really, you went ‘boom’ right into my f**king forehead!” she blasted, pretending to fall down again. “You’re not seeing that movie.” Luckily, she was unhurt by the whole bloody fiasco and remained in good spirits. The TikTok clip, however, has amassed over 1.3M views at the time of posting, with users applauding Natalie for having a good attitude.

David Dobrik slams “LA YouTubers” who ‘overhype’ their music Screengrab via YouTubePopular YouTuber David Dobrik has explained his long-standing frustrations with creators who ‘overhype’ their new releases – especially when it comes to videos and music. Hyping something up is a common practice on YouTube, considering that creators are usually able to translate their following on the video uploading platform to other social media websites. Yet, some creators arguably go overboard with their hype, especially when it’s something pretty meaningless as a new video. It is something that David Dobrik has, repeatedly, taken issue with as he isn’t a fan of hyping things up before release – as it can come back to bite you. “I hate when people hype up things,” started the vlogger during the 105th episode of his VIEWS podcast. “If you’re working on a song or if you’re working on anything, like why do you hype up anything?” His pal Jason Nash chimed in, adding that some hype goes too far – with how some YouTubers liken their future releases to “fucking dying.” Dobrik continued in his disbelief of how hype could reach such high levels, adding: “How could you possibly fucking say that? How can an artist go ‘you guys are going to fucking lose it when you hear this song’? How can you possibly say that?” [Timestamp for mobile viewers of 19:22] While Nash tried to compare it to the wider music scene, with Kanye West’s confidence being brought up as a talking point, Dobrik still wasn’t buying it. “That’s crazy. I don’t care if Kanye West says it. I don’t like when anybody says that,” replied the YouTube star, continuing his rage at his fellow creators who overhype things. However, he was able to separate the difference between YouTube and other fields – with Rap and combat sports being two notable examples – as their “aggressive” marketing can be acceptable. “If you hype up a song, people are expecting so much,” he added. “My favorite is to under-promise and over deliver. That’s the best.” Read More: YouTube’s most liked videos – Despite Dobrik’s opinion and harsh words, it’s not going to stop YouTubers bigging up their own products in the hopes of racking up clicks, views, and subscribers. It’s all a part of the marketing game, after all.

David Dobrik slammed by creators for benefiting from TikTok funding Instagram: David DobrikEveryday creators on TikTok are up in arms that the first raft of recipients of the app’s $1 billion creator fund, aimed at offering developing creators a livelihood, includes David Dobrik. Dobrik, who has 20.5 million followers on the app, was one of 19 creators announced as recipients of the first tranche of funding made available through the much-hyped financial support program, general applications for which open later this month. The creator is estimated to be worth $7 million, and made his name and fortune on YouTube, after Vine, which he first uploaded videos to in 2013, shut down. “Dobrik specifically has really established himself as master of ‘bringing joy’ on YouTube in the past years, and gained a massive following doing so,” says Andreas Schellewald, a researcher at Goldsmiths, University of London, who studies David Dobrik and TikTok. “But the thing is that his content has always remained short-video content, as he initially started on Vine, just packaged into a YouTube montage. “He’s definitely someone TikTok has an interest keeping on their site,” Schellewald adds. “It’s just a great match for both sides. However, I’m not sure if it communicates the right message to take an established creator like Dobrik and feature him in the context of this creator fund. Many others featured in that list of course too have a big following.” With a handful of exceptions, the first group of creators announced as recipients of the funding appear to ignore the founding principle of the program. When it was announced on July 23, Vanessa Pappas, TikTok’s general manager in the United States, said the cash would be disbursed “to help support ambitious creators who are seeking opportunities to foster a livelihood through their innovative content”. The fund is open to applications from anyone over the age of 18 on the app, with more than 10,000 followers and more than 10,000 views in the last 30 days. The 19 creators announced as the first recipients of the money have an average of nine million followers, with a quarter of them in TikTok’s top 100 creators by follower count. They include beatboxer SpencerX and Michael Le, who are both in the 10 most followed accounts on TikTok. The list of creators – and the decisions made – echo a decision by YouTube to roll out a similar creator funding scheme in 2012, which ended up mostly paying mainstream celebrities and entertainment companies. “I think a lot of us creators suspected it would turn into money to basically pay the big, already famous and already very financially successful ‘stars’ of TikTok, but it was still quite a surprise to actually see the list,” says Jenny Millenni, a creator with 277,000 followers on the app. “When you hear ‘help support’ and ‘who are seeking opportunities’, and ‘a livelihood’, it gives an image that it would be used to help people who are building up their career and presence on the platform, who may actually need the money in order to continue posting on the platform and turn it into a career,” she says. “Not creators who are already well established on the app, with a career, making a very large sum of money doing it and have existing net worths of millions of dollars.” Millenni is one of a number of creators who have expressed concerns about who has been funded through the program on social media and private chat groups of TikTok creators. She’s also concerned that the first raft of funded creators was announced before applications were even officially open. “It’s pretty discouraging because it had potential to be a pretty cool opportunity for a lot of people, but now it doesn’t seem like it’s really going to hit the hands of very many due to the fact these huge personalities who are already millionaires are top on the list and picked out before people can even apply,” she says. “The announcement of these people is pretty much the complete opposite of the type of people they stated it would go to.” Schellewald believes it’s a useful strategy for TikTok to highlight its biggest names, and often most interesting educational creators, early on in the fund’s history, but that needs to change in the future. “Going forward there needs to be some kind of transparency in regards to the decision-making process of who gets funded, which I think would fit TikTok’s overall commitment to transparency they’ve thus far shown in regards to their algorithm,” he says. However, the fund is in its early stages. “This first round of creators that have been announced are mostly well-established influencers,” says Brendan Gahan, partner, and chief social officer at Mekanism, a US creative agency. “They’ve got followings in the millions. Are they creators that need the money? Probably not.” Yet Gahan thinks it’s a smart move. He believes some of the money may be being used to stop TikTok’s biggest names jumping ship to competing apps, chief among them Instagram Reels. The Wall Street Journal reported big TikTok creators were being offered six figures to jump ship to Reels last month. “They’re facing a battle on multiple fronts with competitors nipping at their heels,” says Gahan. “By investing in top creators they’re securing some of their biggest stars.”

David Dobrik responds to Charlotte D’Alessio dating rumors after perfume ad YouTube: David Dobrik TooUpdate (October 6 – 11:30 PM PT): While the rumor mill was set ablaze thanks to David Dobrik’s new perfume advert, he has since shut down rumors about his potential relationship with model Charlotte D’Alessio. “We made this video for this perfume, it was basically like we were going on a date,” he said in an October 5 interview with Access. At the time of recording, there was nothing intimate about their working relationship at all, according to Dobrik. “I called Charlotte and said is this real, are we in a relationship? He joked upon seeing the rumors. “No we’re not dating. I’m still single.” The original story can be found below.

David Dobrik is a social media giant, with an enormous subscriber base of 26 million on his main and second channel combined, and over 22 million followers on TikTok. While his viral Vine content secured him his popularity, he is now known primarily for his vlogging. While some keen fans had a theory that David and his assistant Natalie might have had a secret romance away from the public eye, that rumor was put to rest when in September Natalie confirmed that she was actually dating Vlog Squad member Todd Smith. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCeY6IPAjGO/ But now a new rumor has emerged, after David released a video on October 2 for his new perfume, simply named ‘David’s Perfume.’ The video sees him and 22-year-old model Charlotte D’Alessio run across fields, spray whipped cream in each other’s mouths, and splash around in the ocean together. The flirty video made viewers’ jaws drop, and they quickly posted a barrage of comments about their unexpected new-found crush. One fan said they “never would have guessed that a David Dobrik perfume commercial would make me feel the way it did,” and said they watched it four times.

David Dobrik shocks fans with life-changing hidden cash gifts David Dobrik, YouTubeYouTuber David Dobrik is one of the world’s most popular online entertainers, best known for his high-energy vlogs and crazy stunts with the “vlog squad” — as well as his heartwarming generosity. During his time on YouTube, Dobrik has garnered a whopping 16.9 million subscribers, due in part to his philanthropic acts of charity alongside his fast-paced viral videos. Having given away cars, cash, and even entire homes to his friend group, the YouTuber is touted as one of the platform’s good Samaritans alongside names like Mr Beast — but this time, he took his goodwill to an entirely new level. With the current global crisis in mind, Dobrik has taken a long hiatus away from uploading regular content as of late, considering that his videos would be far different without the help of his currently-quarantined squad of buddies. However, he broke this hiatus with a video on April 24, where he gathered with a small group of helpers (including assistant Natalie and friend Jason Nash) to play Santa Claus. He surprised random bystanders by gifting them gaming consoles and cash taped beneath frisbees as they drove down the street, sending the strangers into shock with random acts of kindness. That wasn’t even the most shocking part of his video: Dobrik even hand-delivered merchandise orders with a special twist, hiding a check worth $10,000 inside each package. The YouTube star tasked the fans with catching their orders via a T-shirt gun for minimal physical contact, leading to a slew of humorous antics before they opened their packages. That’s not all; Dobrik even went the extra mile and gave away a slew of free cars on top of the checks, sending one fan into tears. His insane video quickly went viral on Twitter shortly after being uploaded, with fans across the net congratulating the YouTuber for his generosity and much-needed giveaways during a time of crisis for many. https://twitter.com/STRIPPERSGRANT/status/1253803306339627008?s=20 david dobrik telling us to stay healthy cuties .. this pure man i will protect him with all i’ve got pic.twitter.com/YAC7sGIxJJ — 🧈⁷ (@l0vingh0bi) April 24, 2020 While he clarified that he wouldn’t be uploading content until the world is in a better place, Dobrik’s latest video is warming the hearts of fans all across the globe in a time that has left many worrying about the future.

David Dobrik shocks fan after he fails to recognize the YouTube star Instagram: @daviddobrikDavid Dobrik rendered a viewer speechless when he approached them at the airport and the fan didn’t recognize the YouTuber despite wearing his merchandise. David Dobrik is one of YouTube’s most popular breakout stars. The Slovak personality shot to fame with his wildly entertaining vlogs which feature his ‘squad’ of friends. However during his March 7 Instagram story, the entertainer ran into a viewer wearing his merch while walking through an airport. Only problem is, the fan didn’t recognize him. David Dobrik surprises fan that doesn’t recognize him The YouTuber was documenting his travels on Instagram, and was using the platform’s story features while in an airport. He informed his audience that he was being cautious over the coronavirus, and was wearing masks. However in his next update, he got excited after he discovered a fan wearing sweatpants from his ‘clickbait’ collection. The viewer had not noticed him, and walked by him. He then decided to make a clip about surprising him. “My next story is going to be me walking by a guy who’s wearing my merch and he has no idea that I’m filming him,” he said. In the next video, Dobrik hilariously walked by the man and began to film around him. But surprisingly, the viewer kept on walking completely oblivious to the star recording. “He doesn’t even know. He walked on by me. He’s wearing my sweatpants!” he laughed. He then walked in front of the fan and shocked him. “Oh s**t. HOLY F**K!” he exclaimed upon seeing the YouTuber. Laughing, Dobrik said to the man “What’s up how are you? You walked right by me!” Still stunned the viewer said “What?!” The YouTube star turned the camera around on himself and said “I look different with my glasses on.” If nothing else, these clips prove that no matter how famous someone is, even their fans can fail to notice them in public. Dobrik took the whole thing in stride, and found it hilarious. The vlogging star continues to crush it on YouTube, and at the time of writing he’s amassed over 16 million subscribers to his channel. He also has over 11 million followers on his Instagram account.

David Dobrik reveals plan to host his own late-night TV talk show Twitter, @DavidDobrik / Pexels, MonicaDavid Dobrik, leader of the Vlog Squad, has shared his lifetime dream: to break into late-night television as the host of a celebrity-filled, potentially Jackass-styled talk show. For many, late-night television is one of the cornerstones of American culture and entertainment. For Dobrik, who grew up enjoying such content before becoming one of the frontrunners of modern internet media himself, hosting a late-night show remains an omnipresent goal. In the years before internet content began defining the cultural zeitgeist, late-night television was a pivotal force in the American entertainment industry. With hosts like Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and David Letterman acting as mouthpieces for popular culture, the role was deemed so unique and intriguing that it even became explored in critically acclaimed television parody Now, decades later, that role remains intriguing to Dobrik. As Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and others continue as mainstay hosts on TV, former icons like Letterman have shifted toward streaming services (in his case, Netflix). In an interview with Variety, Dobrik explains that he too wants to transcend media and pioneer modern-day late-night content. Just two immigrants tryna not get deported pic.twitter.com/Z6RlU5D3N5 — DAVID DOBRIK (@DavidDobrik) October 21, 2020 Already comfortable interacting with celebrities, while earning the spotlight himself, Dobrik’s fit as a late-night host is easily imagined. So easily, in fact, that the Wall Street Journal called him “Gen Z’s Jimmy Fallon” back in March 2020. In his interview with Variety, he expressed just how true he hopes that premonition could be: “I’ve always wanted to be a late-night host — that’s my big dream.” From hanging out with Sacha Baron Cohen’s character to watching Chris Rock’s performance in with Rock himself, it’s clear that the comfort around celebrity, and with pop culture, is there. This makes me so happy @chrisrock pic.twitter.com/Iin4tUQZAk — DAVID DOBRIK (@DavidDobrik) June 21, 2020 As for how Dobrik intends to get there? His new podcast, “Views,” is step one. Noting that the podcast offers him a chance to maintain his own studio, book his own guests and, above all else, practice hosting celebrities — Dobrik suggests that “Views” may be a path toward late-night hosting for content across television and digital media. And that content may be a little weirder than Fallon and Kimmel’s current repertoire. Dobrik described his latest talk-show concept, which remains a work in progress, as “meets late-night.”

David Dobrik says his ‘Doughbrik’s’ pizza restaurant will open this summer YouTube: David DobrikYouTube star David Dobrik has finally given fans a long-awaited update on his upcoming pizza biz, which he says is opening up very soon. David Dobrik is one of YouTube’s biggest stars. Boasting over 18 million subscribers, the influencer is best known for the high-energy vlogs he creates alongside his friend group, ‘The Vlog Squad.’ However, he’s moving past his days as a full-time influencer; he’s got his very own traveling series on Discovery Plus, and has been working on opening up a pizza shop for the last year. Back in July 2021, Dobrik officially announced his upcoming pie shop, humorously dubbed ‘Doughbrik’s.’ Fans had been anticipating the reveal since 2020 due to sudden trademark filings, but it took more time before the creator was comfortable officially sharing the news. According to the YouTuber, he and fellow influencer Iliya had been “taste-testing pizzas for months” — and, at the time, still had “months to go.” It seems like his schedule is finally moving forward, though, as he recently teased a possible date for the shop’s opening. Paparazzi from the Hollywood Fix caught up with Dobrik during a night out with friends this June to ask him about the future of Douhgbrik’s pizza — which he says should open up sometime in either August or September of this year. “August-September,” he said to the excited paps. “I’m not pushing it back, I swear to god. That’s what we originally planned.” This comes as a welcome development for fans, although precious little else is known about the pizzeria at the time of writing. Doughbrik’s won’t be the first restaurant opened among the Vlog Squad fam, either; fellow YouTuber Nick ‘Jonah’ Antonyan notably opened up his own kebab spot in Hollywood, as well, making David’s pizza biz the second restaurant in the fold.

David Dobrik reveals which celebrity he was most scared to meet Instagram: daviddobrikDavid Dobrik has become no stranger to the celebrity world, having made content with some of the biggest names in Hollywood – but now he’s revealed which celebrity he was most scared to meet. David has made videos with the likes of Justin Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and Kevin Hart throughout his meteoric rise to YouTube stardom, helping expand how far we ever thought being a YouTuber could go. However, Dobrik has revealed that there was one person who was particularly starstruck by, even more so than the above – and it isn’t who you would expect. In an interview with radio channel SiriusXM, Dobrik is asked which celebrity he was most starstruck by, and it didn’t take him too long to come up with an answer. Many fans of the star would have expected him to say Robert Downey Jr. As a big fan of the Avengers franchise, Dobrik has made it clear that meeting Iron Man in real life genuinely left him speechless, but another name takes the cake for most starstruck. “Justin Bieber… Kylie Jenner…,” he started, mentally sifting through the list of names. “You know what? Probably Nicole Scherzinger. There’s something about sitting next to one of the most beautiful women in the world that is the scariest time ever, so probably Nicole.” (Timestamp 3:04 for mobile viewers) David has mentioned several times how big a fan of Nicole he is and was clearly a little bit in awe in the video he filmed with the Pussycat Dolls frontwoman – though that didn’t stop him from pulling a hilarious skunk prank on her. Elsewhere in the interview, David also spoke about the crazy celebrity moments he wishes he’d caught on camera and his favorite reaction to some of the elaborate gifts he buys for his friends. It goes without saying that Dobrik is living a life many of us could only dream of – not bad for a young man who made some Vine and YouTube videos.

David Dobrik reveals which celebrity he wants to join the Vlog Squad During a video in which popular YouTuber David Dobrik goes on a blind date with a Vlog Squad superfan, he revealed which celebrity he would most like to join him and his friends next. David Dobrik has become known as the mastermind behind the Vlog Squad, a group of Vine stars who were all seeking a home when app closed its doors, now creating YouTube content together to tens of millions of subscribers. Notable names in the Vlog Squad include the likes of Corinna Kopf and comedian Jason Nash, as well as Drake and Josh actor Josh Peck. In their time together, other celebrities including Snoop Dogg, John Stamos, Kylie Jenner, and Lil Pump have made appearances in the vlogs. Now, in a recent video with Seventeen, Dobrik went on a blind date with a superfan, pretending to be another superfan named Steve. He answered a bunch of questions, including “Who do you want to see join the Vlog Squad next?” Dobrik took some time to respond, initially saying he can’t do that and that “David has that call,” but upon a push from his date, Anna, he confirmed that he would like Chris Pratt to join the team. While Anna agreed that Chris Pratt is a good pick – and with Pratt’s fun-loving personality, you can see why – she said that she would like to see Adam Sandler join the Vlog Squad, with Dobrik confirming that he thinks that would be good too. Throughout the rest of the video, Dobrik answers questions regarding mukbangs and his favorite Vlog Squad moments before the big reveal, with Anna realizing that she was on a date with her idol. Though Pratt would seem to be a good fit with the Vlog Squad, it’s unlikely he’ll find time for the YouTuber lifestyle while also starring in billion-dollar box office hits on a regular basis. That said, with some of the names that have appeared in David Dobrik’s vlogs in the past, anything seems possible.

David Dobrik reveals what he wants to do after vlogging Jeff Wittek/YouTubeDavid Dobrik has revealed what he wants to do after his life of vlogging on YouTube, during a video with friend and fellow YouTuber Jeff Wittek. Dobrik went on Wittek’s YouTube series, Jeff’s Barbershop, in which he brings on guests of interest and has a short interview-style discussion. In recent episodes, he’s cut and interviewed the likes of Jason Nash, Josh Peck, and EDM DJ Dillon Francis. Naturally, this led to a discussion over what Dobrik’s plans for the future are, and he had a bit to say about where he thinks he’s going to end up. During the haircut, Jeff asked David, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”, to which David gave a very honest answer. “If I’m still vlogging in 10 years then something has either gone really wrong or extremely right,” he said, suggesting that vlogging definitely isn’t a long-term prospect in his mind. “If I can keep it up for 10 years, that means I’ve figured out some kind of secret source of life to keep me going, or I’ve hit rock bottom.” (Timestamp 6:22 for mobile users) He was then asked what he wants to be when he grows up, to which he responded: “I think I want my own show… Something like a talk show, an Ellen Degeneres type of show would be great.” As an entertainer and impromptu comedian, Dobrik explains that he would suit the ‘late night show’ style of TV. “I guess a late-night show would be the best. But I don’t know if late night is still popping. It needs to be something new.” Dobrik seems a great fit for a talk show, as his energetic style and eye for what makes good content is something not many can replicate. He has amassed over 14 million subscribers on his main channel, and many of his videos consistently attract over 10 million views each. And, with experience on-camera and in front of live audiences, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Slovakian-born star heading up his own talk show in ten years’ time.

David Dobrik reveals surprising pick for his favorite YouTuber YouTube: David DobrikDavid Dobrik is one of the biggest YouTubers ever — but who does the site’s top vlogger like to watch the most? The influencer had a surprising answer. David Dobrik made his big comeback to YouTube in June, following a months-long hiatus amidst ongoing criticism and allegations against him for placing former Vlog Squad members in uncomfortable and even dangerous situations for content. Before these accusations, though, Dobrik was one of YouTube’s most popular influencers, and currently boasts over 18 million subscribers. He’s best known for his chaotic, high-energy vlogs, where he captures himself and his friend group getting into all manner of shenanigans… including racing a giant toilet against a $3 million luxury car. Dobrik has also notably given his viewers a slew of money and luxury goods — something similar to internet philanthropist MrBeast. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has become a huge presence on YouTube in large part due to his charitable content, and has even founded his own charity with the aim of helping people in need within his local communities — a project that is funded entirely by viewership from his charity’s YouTube channel. When it comes to content, these two YouTubers are as bombastic as it gets… so, when asked about his favorite YouTuber by paparazzi from the Hollywood Fix, it came as a surprise that Dobrik didn’t answer with his own channel. Who is Dobrik’s favorite YouTuber? Instead, Dobrik claimed that his favorite content creator is MrBeast. His own little brother also claimed that MrBeast is his favorite influencer on the platform after meeting up with him in a recent collab with the Vlog Squad leader (during which he also gifted Dobrik Junior with $10,000). “If you’re gonna have a favorite YouTuber, like, I’m stoked that it’s MrBeast,” he said of his bro’s decision. “Especially after getting to talk with him longer than an hour, he’s a dope dude, and he treated my brother so nicely.” “My favorite YouTuber? I don’t want to just side with my brother on this one, but I love MrBeast now, too,” he continued. “I always loved him, but after meeting him and seeing how he works, I’ve got a much greater appreciation for him.” (Topic begins at 1:22) It looks like there’s a lot of love between these two internet superstars… but it’d be hard to say MrBeast isn’t your favorite content creator when he gifts your little bro a ton of cash.

Corinna Kopf OnlyFans earnings: How much does Corinna make on OnlyFans? Instagram: corinnakopf / TikTok: daviddobrikCorinna Kopf is one of the Only Fans’ most popular creators, but how much does she make from her content? Here’s everything we know about her OnlyFans earnings. Corinna Kopf is a popular streamer who moved back to Twitch after her contract with Facebook Gaming ended in March 2022. Now, in 2023, she streams mostly on Kick. However, streaming is far from her only source of income. She also has a YouTube channel where she posts infrequently and is also known for hanging out with fellow YouTube star David Dobrik and the ‘Vlog Squad’, as well as her lucrative Instagram account. But, her biggest income stream likely comes from OnlyFans, where she makes an eye-popping amount of money per month. Corinna Kopf OnlyFans earnings Corinna Kopf earns over $2 million per month from her OnlyFans account, on the best months. On July 1, 2022, David Dobrik uploaded a short clip to TikTok that racked up over 1 million views just an hour after going live. In the video, Dobrik shows off Corinna’s monthly payouts from OnlyFans — and they range anywhere from $2.3 million on the high end to $680,000 on the low end. “This makes me want to f**king vomit,” Dobrik joked. “This is absolutely insane! This is monthly. Monthly!” It’s no secret that Kopf has been raking in the big bucks from OF; just 48 hours after first making her account back in 2021, she claimed that she’d earned “a little over a million dollars.” Just two months after that, Kopf claimed that she’d made $4.2 million. While it’s unclear exactly how much money she’s made since then, it’s clear that she’s doing well for herself, accounting for that $400k Ferrari she bought and flexed on Dobrik’s YouTube channel. In April 2023, she bought David a Ferrari, explaining that he had given her so much exposure. While clearly a lucrative endeavor, some other streamers have given up OF. For example, OnlyFans powerhouse, Amouranth, retired and decided to pursue big investments in companies like Visa while she continues her career on Twitch.

David Dobrik reveals shocking loss in YouTube earnings YouTube star David Dobrik highlighted the massive difference in how much he earns from the video-sharing platform following the “Adpocalypse” which affected many creators. David Dobrik is known for his iconic four minutes and 20-second vlog series on YouTube which has gained him an incredible number of fans, with over 14 million subscribers on the platform. The YouTube star often pulls in tens of millions of views for each vlog uploaded to his channel, documenting his action-packed lifestyle. However, to many fans’ surprise, David Dobrik revealed that he was earning much less revenue from ads than he was before blowing up on the video-sharing site in an interview with Men’s Health. Although many content creators often stay quiet about how much they earn from the Google-owned platform, David Dobrik expressed that he felt he owed it to those who were curious about how much they make. “I feel like this is an interesting thing that not many people talk about,” he admitted, “Its weird to talk about money I guess but as a kid my biggest fascination was like how much do these YouTubers make, so I feel like I owe it to myself as a younger kid to talk about this. David then explained that the Adpocalypse, which saw many advertisers pull out of YouTube, was one of the main reasons in his channel’s massive loss of revenue, “Some YouTuber’s started to get paid a lot less because their content wasn’t friendly and I was one of those people.” Topic starts at 0:38 for mobile users. The YouTuber highlighted just how much of an impact it had on him, revealing the massive amount he made from ad revenue in the earlier stages of his career, “My cheque each month for that time would be a little over $275,000.” “Two years ago it got cut, now I get 200 million views (per month), more than three times the amount of views I was getting before, but my now my paycheck is under $2,000, which is crazy,” Dobrik explained. David also explained that the use of copyrighted songs and the fact that his content has become less advertiser-friendly over time has also played a factor in his massive revenue loss before confessing that he made more money waiting tables than from his current YouTube Ad revenue. “I use copyrighted songs and my videos are a little more inappropriate than the rest so right now I’m actually making less money a month on YouTube than I was when I was waiting tables at a retirement home, which is pretty crazy.” However, he followed up by explaining that although there would be ways he could possibly gain more ad revenue, he was not willing to give up the quality of the content he puts out in order to make more money. One of his fellow content creators on YouTube, Logan Paul, had previously estimated how much he could be making from the video-sharing site although, like many, he was not expecting the figures to as low as what David revealed.

David Dobrik reveals plans to make reality show about his pizza restaurant Doughbrik/InstagramDavid Dobrik has revealed he wants to make a reality show that is based on the employees at his Doughbrik’s Pizza restaurant in West Hollywood. David Dobrik is one of the most prominent creators on YouTube, with over 18 million subscribers. Although he doesn’t upload as many YouTube videos anymore, he’s still one of the most popular channels on the platform. But the 27-year-old didn’t stop there as he’s adventured out to create multiple other businesses. Having founded the popular photography app Dispo, some viewers of Dobrik were shocked to learn his latest career prospect is within the world of restauranteurs – as Dobrik opened his own pizzeria at the end of 2022. David has now revealed that he wants his next project to be a reality show around the workers at Doughbrik’s Pizza. “We’ve definitely like thought about … [having] a show around Doughbrik’s that’s maybe like […] almost like a reality show of employees at the restaurant and like, not in a crazy way where they’re like going partying every day, but just like almost like a Selling Sunset meets a restaurant,” he told Distractify. He continued: “Kids growing up in LA and like maybe they’re pursuing their acting dreams or whatever they’re doing. But they also need a day job for the time being. I feel like a show around that would be really interesting.” David went on to say that he most likely would stay behind the camera, if the show was to happen, and let the workers be the main focus. The YouTube star opened Dougbrik’s Pizza on November 12, 2022, in West Hollywood and it’s been a huge success. Despite his entrepreneurial success, fans are still waiting for his YouTube return after having been gone from the platform since March 2022. But some got their hopes up when they realized David had uploaded a new video in August 2023 only to immediately put it on private.

David Dobrik reveals opening date for his pizza restaurant Doughbrik’s Instagram: David Dobrik, PixabayYouTuber David Dobrik is one of the platform’s biggest content creators. Though Dobrik has over 18.2 million subscribers, the former vlogger has turned his attention to other ventures. Having founded the popular photography app Dispo, some viewers of Dobrik may be surprised to learn his latest career prospect is within the world of restauranteurs – as Dobrik is set to open his own pizzeria. After months of preparation and kneading out the fine details, Dobrik will welcome customers in soon. When is Doughbrik’s Pizza opening? The news of Doughbrik’s Pizza opening its doors was revealed by Dobrik’s collaborator, Ilya Fedorovich via Instagram. Showcasing the restaurant’s beaming neon lights, Fedorovich said “Sorry we went over budget Dave. Neon lights look cool though.” Fedorovich confirmed that Doughbrik’s Pizza will be open for business on November 12, 2022. Alongside an official confirmation, followers of Fedorovich and Dobrik can also head over to the Doughbrik’s Pizza Instagram page to see more of the location. Fedorovich rose to fame on YouTube as one-half of the creative duo, In-Debt. Since then Dobrik’s collaborator has moved into the Vlog Squad house in 2020 and has co-hosted the Lightweights Podcast with Joe Vulpis. Meanwhile, Dobrik has put all his focus into Doughbrik’s Pizza. The content creator said previously that he and Fedorovich have been “taste-testing pizzas for months” in the build-up to its inception. The restaurant was originally slated for an August or September opening, but internal obstacles have prevented that from coming to fruition. Dobrik had returned to YouTube for a brief period, though this would end up as an ultimately short-lived return. His last upload was in March 2022.

David Dobrik gives up on home aquarium after learning of crazy costs Instagram: daviddobrik / Unsplash: TimBMotivvYouTube sensation David Dobrik has revealed his desire to get a home aquarium in his new mansion — but had to give up hope after learning of the crazy costs involved. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] In August, Dobrik bought an incredible $9.5 million mansion in the hills of Los Angeles, somehow even bigger and better than his current home, though it doesn’t seem like he’s moved into it yet based on the video he recently filmed with Borat. There may be a valid reason for the delay in Dobrik’s move. Besides the ongoing global health situation, he may be waiting to get the house built to perfection, including an aquarium. During an episode of the VIEWS podcast, David revealed his plans for the aquarium, which was priced up at around half a million dollars — not including the massive monthly maintenance fees. At the very start of the podcast, David explained that he recently visited a home that had a huge aquarium in it and was instantly inspired, seeking out a similar option for his new home. So, as any rich early-20s YouTube star would, he immediately sought out someone to price up what he wanted, and was mindblown by the cost. For a full floor-to-ceiling aquarium in his new home, including plenty of exotic fish (the idea of keeping an octopus even coming up), David said the man he spoke to laughed at him before revealing the ludicrous $500,000 cost, plus an extra $4-5k monthly maintenance cost to clean the tank. Timestamp 0:22 Prior to finding out, David said he expected the aquarium would cost around $85,000, which would probably be an acceptable price for him, but admits defeat at the huge cost he’s actually given. He did, though, say that the fish are “pretty cheap,” at around $10,000, and it’s mainly actually the installation of the aquarium that would be the real cost. Needless to say, David gave up on that dream pretty quickly — though maybe we’ll see him with a slightly smaller, less expensive aquarium when he starts creating content in the new house.

David Dobrik reveals how much money he was making at his peak on YouTube YouTube: David DobrikDavid Dobrik has revealed how much money he was making on YouTube at his peak, and it’s a truly eye-watering figure. Dobrik is undoubtedly one of the biggest names on YouTube and has made plenty of money in his still-young career. That said, he’s been open about the fact that he no longer makes money from YouTube, and while it’s hardly destroyed his career by any means, it definitely puts into perspective just how he and other YouTubers have had to adapt. But some have had to adapt more than others, and it’s fair to say Dobrik’s loss in earnings will be more sizeable than many others. During an episode of his Views podcast, alongside co-host Jason Nash and assistant Natalie Mariduena, David Dobrik revealed the insane amount he was making just from AdSense on YouTube at his peak. Read More: How does David Dobrik make money? – “The best months, this was like 4 years ago, I was making like $275,000 a month,” he revealed. “It’s crazy because back then you could play any song, say any swear word, whatever it was it would just get monetized to the full extent.” He then added that he was only making that much for around 3 months then the ‘adpocalypse’ happened — with advertisers pulling out and a shift to more family-friendly content — after which he dropped to around $50k a month. Timestamp 28:20 David went on to explain that had the ‘adpocalypse’ not happened, he would probably now be making around $1.5-2m a month, which really would be absolutely absurd kinds of money. It’s not as though Dobrik is short on cash, though, and has recently even got his own show on Discovery+ called ‘Discovering David Dobrik’, which sees him and his friends traveling the world to experience different cultures. That said, if he could be making an extra $2m a month, that’s got to sting a little.

David Dobrik reveals how he was “robbed” of $10k Iron Man statue Instagram/YouTube: David DobrikDavid Dobrik has revealed that the $10,000 Iron Man statue he has been waiting well over a year for was stolen from him after being delivered to the wrong address — and the recipient is refusing to give it back. Anybody that knows Dobrik knows he is a huge Marvel fanatic, and Iron Man is his favorite in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, he even auditioned for a role in Shang-Chi and almost had the chance to join the MCU as part of it, though that never came to fruition. With his love for Marvel, though, David has committed to buying memorabilia from the MCU and has spent a lot of money, including on a fully-functional Iron Man mask and suit. But, he wanted to get this $10k statue to present as a centerpiece in his Los Angeles home. With a year and a half wait for the statue to be produced and shipped all the way from China, David Dobrik was no doubt delighted when he got the notification saying his shipment had arrived in the United States — but that excitement was short-lived. It became apparent that his statue had actually arrived elsewhere in California to someone else who had ordered one but not paid for it, and they refused to give it back despite pleas from the selling company. “The people that have our statue emailed the makers of the Iron Man in China, this is what they said,” he started, before reading the email on his VIEWS podcast. “Your request to return Iron Man Mark 50 has come to my attention. While I am cognizant of the shipping error, once it arrived we made immediate plans to use it as a centerpiece in a forthcoming press conference … I am respectfully requesting you to seriously reconsider your intention to reclaim the work and permit us to proceed to exhibit it as we had hoped.” Timestamp 23:50 The situation developed though, as the day after recording that part of the podcast, Jason Nash and Dobrik’s assistant, Taylor, went to the address provided to hunt down the statue. After requesting the shipment be returned and asking to take it back, the recipient said the statue had been delivered to one of their warehouses elsewhere, such as San Diego — but they “knew he was lying” based on the way he was acting. After leaving without the statue, Jason said that Taylor did some more digging and discovered that the man was actually, allegedly, a convicted pedophile, as well as being notorious for “taking memorabilia and not paying for it.” It goes without saying that if David wants his Iron Man statue back, he might have to take his own advice and contact the police — but it’s not going to be an easy process.

David Dobrik reveals how he made himself actually cry for Dispo commercial YouTube: David Dobrik Too, New VIEWS Podcast HighlightsOn March 1, YouTube star David Dobrik released an official commercial for his photo-taking mobile app, Dispo — a project where he took his acting chops to the next level by actually making himself cry. Dobrik’s Dispo advertisement shocked fans not just because of his app’s success, but mostly because of his incredible prosthetics, with the influencer decked out in pounds of makeup to transform himself into an old man. The premise of the commercial centers around the entire point of the Dispo application, which acts as a sort of virtual disposable camera that doesn’t allow users to look at the photos they take, which don’t develop for them to see until some time later. The commercial shows an aged Dobrik looking at a collection of photographs seemingly taken with a disposable camera, showing off all the good times he shared with his friends in his youth — which, understandably, brings a tear to his eye. The YouTuber opened up about this soul-baring experience in an episode of his VIEWS podcast a short while later, where he was asked about how exactly he caused himself to cry while being put on the spot in front of an entire production crew. Surprisingly, Dobrik referenced an interview with Emma Watson, who claimed that she imagined a sad scenario and put herself in that fictional situation to elicit tears. “It was so simple, but that’s all it was,” he explained. “I was just thinking of Emma Watson the entire time, and I was like, that’s how I’m gonna do this, is exactly how she told them in this interview.” (Topic begins at 7 minutes) As for what fictional, sad situation Dobrik chose? The star revealed that he imagined one of his best friends (and VIEWS co-host), Jason Nash, passing away, as well as being genuinely sad that he hasn’t been able to hang out with his friend group due to current health restrictions. “In the commercial, I’m going through pictures of our friends,” he continued. “I haven’t filmed in a while, and I f**king miss it. There’s two people who really made me cry: Jason, because I thought of him passing away. I’m being serious. I thought of him dying.” Dobrik’s Dispo app is available on the Apple Store for those interested in trying out the experience for themselves — although there’s no guarantees it’ll make you cry.

David Dobrik reveals how he embarrassed himself with Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Instagram: daviddobrik/YouTube: Architectural DigestDavid Dobrik has revealed the story behind the time he embarrassed himself in front of Hollywood megastars Kim Kardashian and Kanye West at their niece Stormi Jenner’s 2nd birthday party. There’s no denying it anymore that YouTubers are becoming huge celebrities in their own right, rubbing shoulders with A-Listers and becoming just as well-known, if not more so, than the stars of TV, film, and radio. That said, there are still some growing pains for content creators and influencers looking to mingle with top celebrities, navigating a world that they’re not completely accustomed to, and David Dobrik knows that as well as anyone. If there are two major celebrities you want to make a good impression on, it’s Kanye and Kim K — but David wasn’t quite that lucky. During an episode of his VIEWS podcast with Jason Nash, Dobrik explained that he made a fool of himself with the iconic duo when attending Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott’s daughter, Stormi’s, 2nd birthday party. He says that he drove the baby blue Ford Bronco that he bought for his assistant Natalie to the party, but the valet had to pull him back after he vacated the car as it had stalled, completely blocking other partygoers’ entry into the event. While rushing to find out what the problem is, he went past a confused Kim and Kanye, with the rapper simply questioning “what’s going on?” and, as you could imagine, David panicking over what’s going on. With around 150 people and high-profile names in attendance, we can only imagine what was going through Dobrik’s head as he sprinted to his car to see if he could fix the issue, eventually settling on calling friend Ilya to try and get the situation resolved. With any luck, Kanye and Kim wouldn’t have thought too much about the situation, though this clearly was playing on Dobrik’s mind — and we can’t say we blame him. Luckily, at least, Stormi won’t ever remember it.

David Dobrik reveals how assistant Natalie saved him from “dangerous” LA gunfire YouTube: VIEWSDavid Dobrik was recently at a Los Angeles nightclub when things got “dangerous” as multiple gunshots were fired off. While no one was killed and just a few minor injuries were sustained, the YouTuber detailed how his assistant Natalie Mariduena “saved” him and his crew. While Dobrik and the Vlog Squad team have been traveling the world lately as part of a new “dream” TV series, LA is where they call home for the time being. Whether it’s visiting million-dollar mansions or linking up with other celebs, LA has long served as the ideal setting for his immensely popular YouTube vlogs. Though it’s not always sunshine and rainbows in the American city. Just recently, Dobrik was at the location of a “dangerous” shootout in a popular nightclub. Fortunately, no lives were lost during the incident, he confirmed on the ‘Views’ podcast. But with multiple gunshots fired just meters away, the YouTuber was forced to flee the scene. This particular club happened to be closed off late one night for an exclusive afterparty. “There were probably 100 people outside trying to get in,” Dobrik’s assistant Mariduena explained. With many celebrities allegedly inside, dozens of LA locals were also trying to make their way through, causing police to arrive on the scene to “clear the crowd.” As part of a bigger group attempting to get in, Dobrik and his friends on the night were right outside when the situation turned ugly. “Six shots went off,” and it was the closest he had ever been to live rounds. “It’s like being 10ft away from a firecracker when I was 100ft away from the shots,” Dobrik said. “They went off, and everybody was just f***ing running.” The nightclub discussion begins at the 4:20 mark below. The “extremely dangerous” incident ended with multiple injuries, but the YouTuber and his group were able to make it away unscathed thanks to Mariduena. As the designated driver that night, she was the hero of the story as she helped escort ten or so friends away from danger shortly after gunshots rattled the club.

David Dobrik reveals his horror over “balding” hair Instagram: David DobrikYouTuber David Dobrik joked in an Instagram story that he was going bald as he got his haircut outside his mansion. Despite friends insisting he wasn’t, Dobrik still believed he was. The video was posted to Dobrik’s 12.9 million followers on August 18. In the video, Dobrik asks “am I actually not balding?” and asked a friend to “tell me the truth.” In response, a female friend offscreen says “no you’re not balding” at which point Dobrik pulls back his hair to reveal patches where his hair is thin. While his friend off-camera still insists he’s not balding, Dobrik insists “that’s balding. Yes, it is.” He then flips the camera and asks a friend, Ilya Fedorovich, sitting opposite to pull their hair backward to which Dobrik says “you’re good.” View this post on Instagram Dobrik, who has been an active YouTuber since 2015, is known for his long hair as part of his look. However, this isn’t the first time it seems Dobrik has addressed his potentially balding. In old vlogs of Dobrik’s, he’s said “I think I’m balding. Come have a look” and points out how thin his hair feels. However, this is also not the first time people have looked at Dobrik’s hair in detail. Back in 2020, YouTuber hairstylist Alex Costa started a series rating YouTuber’s hairstyles and asked the question about whether or not Dobrik was balding in one episode. Costa noted Dobrik’s use of hats and believed he wore hats in “about 90% of his videos.” His advice to Dobrik if he was losing his hair was to “ditch the hat” and make the most of his hair while he has it. Things have certainly not been quiet with Dobrik lately. His beef with former friend Trisha Paytas continues with Paytas labeling Dobrik as showing “sh***y behavior” on August 13. Dobrik was also allegedly stopped by police after racing a car against a giant toilet for a recent video.

David Dobrik reveals his bizarre first encounter with Justin Bieber Instagram: justinbieber / daviddobrikIn his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, David Dobrik has spoken out on the bizarre run of events that was his first time meeting pop superstar Justin Bieber. On Dobrik’s late-night debut, Fallon asked him all manner of things about his channel, the content he puts out, and the infamous marriage of Dobrik and his best friend’s mom. Jimmy mentioned that he really enjoyed Dobrik’s video with Justin Bieber, in which he surprised a bunch of college kids with the ‘Yummy’ singer, with every reaction being just as brilliant as the last. But Dobrik had a slightly more interesting story about Bieber and the first time they met. Asked about how the video came to fruition, Dobrik spoke about meeting Bieber in Los Angeles’ Doheny Room and the bizarre events that took place. “I saw him at the club and one of his friends was like ‘you’re going to meet Justin.’ I remember just… I was so nervous,” he told the late-night host. After their introductions, Dobrik says it took a bit of a surprising turn. “We were kind of just standing next to each other for a little bit, and then he walks by me and says ‘tickle tickle’,” reenacting the way Bieber tickled him as he passed him. Immediately Fallon burst out laughing and tried to deny that it could have happened, but Dobrik swore it was true and said the only response he could muster was “okay, cool!” He also said that he “felt so good” after Bieber tickled him and that the tickle was the best possible icebreaker. At the time of writing, Dobrik’s video with Bieber has already amassed over 14 million views in little over a week, proving how much of a hit it has been. Just a week later he uploaded a video with Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, proving Dobrik has become far more than just a YouTuber now.

David Dobrik reveals his “biggest regret” after losing out on $13 million with Tesla Instagram: daviddobrikDavid Dobrik has revealed the biggest regret of his life, after missing out on a life-changing amount of money with Tesla. It’s fair to say that Dobrik isn’t exactly strapped for cash. He made insane amounts of money becoming a YouTube sensation, though his vlogs are currently on hold with the ongoing global health situation, uploading just once since the start of March 2020. However, as they say, money breeds money, and David will have multiple revenue streams from which to continue his Hollywood lifestyle. One of these revenue streams seems to be through trading stocks and shares, and claims his biggest regret has come as a result of this. David has been known for his love of his Tesla in recent years, but it seems that his love is more than just that of a customer: he actually invested in the company three years ago. While this looks like a stroke of genius, with how much Tesla has grown, David actually messed up big time by getting cold feet and pulling out around a week later for $7000. In a TikTok posted by the star, he shows an old clip of his VIEWS podcast in which he reveals he ploughed $1m into the company. With just a $7000 profit in a week, David decided to crunch the numbers… and it’s not pretty. He said: “I did the math and today, I could have sold the same stock for $13 million… F**k me.” It’s almost impossible to imagine the pain David felt seeing that figure pop up on his calculator. Making 13 times your investment is always a solid return, but when we’re talking literal millions, the regret must be unfathomable to us regular folk. Needless to say, Dobrik has probably built his wealth a considerable amount more since then, so he’s probably more willing to see these investments out now. Hopefully, he’ll never miss out on a near-$13m profit again.

David Dobrik embarrasses Jeff Wittek for calling his father “daddy” Twitter: DavidDobrik/FanJoyYouTuber David Dobrik has revealed a brilliant new set of bloopers from his recent vlogs that show some hilarious behind the scenes moments between him and his friends that include him embarrassing Jeff Wittek for calling his father “daddy.” While some YouTuber vloggers opt to share their daily routines with fans on a regular basis, David Dobrik is a little bit different. His quick hit vlogs focus around amusing moments or pranks that he has with his friends and fellow creators – as he only uploads the videos every so often. However, there is plenty of work that goes into them. While they may seem perfect when they’re released, his hijinx don’t always go to plan. That, though, gives him the chance to conjure up an outtakes video that he can fill with hilarious bloopers. His February 23 upload was no different, as the popular YouTuber showed some of the conversations and moments that didn’t quite make it into his recent vlogs. Some of the moments included interrupting his assistant Natalie as they did an airport Q&A, all the failed attempts from his soccer star friend’s long-range shot stunt, and bringing up how pal Jeff called his father “daddy,” even though he tried to dispute it. “Fun fact about Jeff, he calls his dad daddy,” Dobrik said to the laughter of his other passengers. Though Jeff said to “prove it,” the YouTuber informed his friend that he still had the footage. David did, in fact, have the video as he cut back to a five-month-old clip where Jeff offered someone advice on a racehorse because his “daddy said to bet the girl horse.” Though, it wasn’t just Jeff that he embarrassed in the video. Dobrik even showed how he used a Mariachi band to implore his assistant Natalie to wake up and get out of bed. However, instead of strumming their instruments with a traditional tune or replicating an alarm clock, they had a bit of a different message. “Natalie, you lazy piece of s**t, wake up and do your f**king job,” they sung – leaving Dobrik and his close friend in a fit of laughter. In typical Dobrik fashion, there are even a few clips of him embarrassing his pals by showing off conversations about relationships. For his loyal fans though, it’s another look behind the curtain of the YouTuber they enjoy seeing content from.

David Dobrik reveals he’s stranded in Slovakia and desperate for return to US YouTube/DavidDobrikIn a recent Instagram story post, Vlog Squad leader David Dobrik revealed that he is stranded in Slovakia, citing issues getting his green card and visa to come back to the US. UPDATE 9/23/2021 3:40 PST: David Dobrik has finally made his way home, as the star revealed in an Instagram post standing in front of the Washington monument. Fans and friends are expressing their relief that he was able to return stateside after the unexpected kerfuffle with his documentation. Original article is as follows: When the Slovakia native moved to Chicago at six years old, David Dobrik was protected by DACA—Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals—until he was able to obtain his green card to permanently live in the United States. With his protection, he was allowed to leave the country… but at a cost of not being allowed back in for 10 years. In a vlog posted to his YouTube channel on September 7, Dobrik announced to his friends that he had received a green card in the United States so he could finally leave the country, and to celebrate, he took his friends to his hometown in Slovakia. David Dobrik’s Instagram Story On September 21, Dobrik uploaded a video to his Instagram Stories announcing his worst fear: He is having trouble securing his paperwork to return back to the states, and therefore is stranded in Slovakia. “I’m still in Slovakia, except now it’s only me and Taylor. Everyone went back home because this is taking way longer and it is a lot harder than I thought it was, getting my visa and green card,” he told his followers in the video. The Vlog Squad founder went on to explain that, until he secures his paperwork and returns back to the United States, no vlogs will be posted on his channel. (check out the post at this link if the embed doesn’t display) View this post on Instagram Dobrik didn’t provide an estimate on when he may acquire the paperwork to get back into the states. Fans are hopeful that he can travel soon so he can continue filming his new Discovery+ TV show, Discovering David Dobrik.

David Dobrik reveals he auditioned for role in Shang-Chi YouTube: David Dobrik / Marvel, DisneyYouTube star David Dobrik revealed some behind the scenes details about his surprising audition for Marvel’s 2021 Shang-Chi film. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is one of the latest additions to the Marvel Cinematic universe — and David Dobrik could have been part of it. The YouTube star has made no bones about his love for Marvel films. He even has a fully functioning Iron Man suit, which he’s shown off on his channel many times. (Oh, and we can’t forget that time he smacked his assistant for almost keeping him from seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home in a TikTok challenge video. The man does love his Marvel, after all.) Click here if TikTok fails to load. So, it’s not a huge surprise to learn that Dobrik auditioned for Shang-Chi — specifically, the character who humorously vlogs the bombastic fight between Shang-Chi and his father’s grunts on a careening San Francisco bus. Dobrik revealed this info during the latest episode of his VIEWS podcast on April 5, 2022. “The thing read — it was like an influencer guy,” he explained. “I know when that happens in a script, they just say it’s an influencer. They’re never gonna actually pick an influencer, because that’d be goofy.” “As I was walking out of my audition, McLovin’ was also walking out. He just auditioned for that same part. I was like, ‘Why the f**k am I here? This guy’s auditioning? He’s gonna blow me out of the f**king water!’” (Topic begins at 15:18) Although Dobrik didn’t end up scoring the part, he said that going to see the film was a unique experience, as he already knew all the character’s lines by heart. This is far from Dobrik’s first Hollywood experience; the vlogger rubs elbows with the likes of Howie Mandel and Josh Peck on a regular basis, and even has his own show on Discovery Plus.

David Dobrik reveals “exciting” backup plan if he got stuck in Europe YouTube: The Hollywood FixYouTube star David Dobrik recently got stranded in Slovakia during his very first trip abroad since immigrating to America — but he had a backup plan in case he was stuck in Europe for good. David Dobrik is one of YouTube’s more notable content creators. Best known for his chaotic, high-energy vlogs, Dobrik has amassed a hefty following of 18.3 million subscribers — an amount that dwindled during his recent scandals. That being said, amid his grand return to content creation, Dobrik was finally granted documentation of his citizenship and permitted to leave the United States. Dobrik immigrated to the country at six years old, and was protected under DACA. Should he have left without a green card, though, he wouldn’t have been allowed back inside U.S. borders for ten years. Now, he’s finally got his documents, and flew out to Europe with friends in celebration. View this post on Instagram Unfortunately for the YouTuber, he ended up being stranded in Slovakia for some time after his friends were allowed to leave. Thankfully, he was able to make it back stateside a short while later — a kerfuffle he explained to paparazzi just four hours after landing in Los Angeles. David Dobrik explains why he was stranded in Slovakia “I went over to interview for my Visa and my green card,” he explained to a photographer standing outside of a nightclub. “Which I was super, super excited about doing. When I leave to go interview, I’m taking the risk of, if the interview doesn’t go well, I can’t come back in.” “I was missing some documents, so it took me a little longer, so I was scared I was gonna have to stay in Slovakia,” he continued. “But I’m back now, which I’m super stoked about!” David Dobrik claims he was “excited” by prospect of staying in Europe Despite the circumstances of his delay in Slovakia, Dobrik admitted that he was actually excited about potentially being barred from re-entering America, should such a thing have actually occurred. “I’d move to Paris,” he answered when the paps asked him what he would do if he were stranded indefinitely. “There was a very small chance I was gonna be stuck,” he said. “I was actually kind of excited about it, because I was like, this is gonna be a new chapter in my life. I’m gonna move, I’m gonna learn French. I don’t know, I fell in love with it.” For now, it looks like Dobrik’s Parisian dreams are on hold… but there’s no telling what the future will bring him and his travels once the global health situation settles down.

David Dobrik reveals current relationship status after his “divorce” YouTube star David Dobrik took his vlogging antics to the next level by marrying – and subsequently divorcing – his best friend’s mom. But what’s his current relationship status like after this change? In a turn of events that quickly went viral, Dobrik put a ring on the mother of his best friend, Jason Nash, after he allegedly told Dobrik that David “would never find love and get married.” Unfortunately, not all love lasts a lifetime, and Dobrik later filed for divorce in June, jokingly claiming that “We may have rushed into things but that’s what happens when two young people fall in love.” Although the entire ordeal was an elaborate joke, Dobrik’s scheme was legally carried out – but now that he’s off the hook, it seems like the vlogger is looking for love, once more. In an interview with Clevver TV, Dobrik revealed that he’s been browsing the popular dating application Bumble since signing his divorce papers, preferring it over other apps like Tinder and OKCupid – meaning that one of YouTube’s top vloggers is also one of its most eligible bachelors. “Listen, if we’re talking dating apps, I’m only talking Bumble,” he admitted. “Bumble is my go-to. So let’s leave it at that. But the transition’s tough! Dating apps, it’s a lot to get used to, because you’ve got to be clever, you know?” Dobrik also confirmed (not for the first time) that he is decidedly not dating his assistant Natalie, despite fan speculation to the contrary. “Let’s just say, I’ve downloaded Bumble ten times,” he continued. “I’m definitely not. Nobody in my friend group is actually dating my assistant Natalie, which is kind of a heartbreaker to a lot of people. But no, she’s just a really good friend of mine.” His shilling for Bumble aside, it seems that Dobrik is open to exploring new relationships outside of his friend group (and his “divorce”) – although there’s no word yet if he’s found any success on the app. For now, fans will have to wait as the YouTube star enters his post-divorce “recovery” period and seeks out a new lady to love.

David Dobrik returns to YouTube with first vlog since controversy YouTube: David DobrikYouTube star David Dobrik has officially returned to vlogging, following months of controversies and scandals that saw him lose thousands of followers and brand deals. David Dobrik was once YouTube’s favorite vlogger. Boasting around 20 million subscribers, Dobrik was well-known for his chaotic vlogs with his friend group, the ‘Vlog Squad,’ which often showed them getting into ridiculous hijinks, pulling pranks, and living it up in Los Angeles. However, the vlogger – who also became hailed for his charitable Tesla giveaways and generous cash handouts – ran into backlash in 2021, with several former vlog squad members coming forward with stories of disrespectful behavior and claims of being put into uncomfortable situations for his videos. That’s not all; influencer Jeff Wittek alleged that he’d nearly died for one of Dobrik’s videos, where he was swung at high speeds from an excavator (although he stated he had no plans to take action against his friend). David Dobrik returns to weekly vlogging After months of radio silence from Dobrik, the YouTuber has officially returned to vlogging. He uploaded his first video in two months on June 15, 2021, where he stated that he would return to regular uploads every Tuesday. This follows a tropical vacation the influencer took, which was purportedly canceled after news of his trip was made public online. However, it seems that he went through with the holiday anyway, and rumors swirled around the net that he could be making a comeback soon. These rumors appeared to be true, as David has officially returned to his bread-and-butter content. “I missed this so much,” the YouTuber wrote in the video’s description. “Love ya guys.” Thus far, it seems like commenters are completely over the moon that David has begun vlogging again, which he initially stopped doing amid the health crisis in 2020. Later, Dobrik announced that he would be uploading video versions of his ‘VIEWS’ podcast, which halted amidst his controversies earlier this year.

David Dobrik returns to YouTube to show off his insane new house YouTube: David Dobrik TooAfter nearly a year of inactivity, YouTube star David Dobrik is finally back to making content — this time, in a brand-new home. David Dobrik is one of YouTube’s most popular content creators. Boasting over 8 million subscribers, Dobrik is famous for his chaotic, high-energy vlogs, where he pulls off insane pranks, gets into all sorts of shenanigans with his friend group, and gives away luxury items (and even cash) to his fans. However, Dobrik went silent on YouTube at the beginning of the global health crisis last year, claiming that it was “basically impossible to film the stuff we would normally want to film” — although he has uploaded some intermittent content in-between. Luckily, Dobrik has finally returned to the platform a year later (at least, on his second channel) showcasing his impressive new home. The house boasts a swimming pool, a water fountain exclusively for fruit punch, a movie theater room, and even an official podcast studio for his VIEWS show. That’s not all; Dobrik also revealed that forthcoming content of his will be far more regular, claiming that he hopes to upload videos of his previously audio-only VIEWS podcast alongside fellow influencer Jason Nash. For those out of the loop, though, Dobrik’s new pad might seem like a random move, but the YouTuber may very well have chosen to change locales due to the high amount of stalkers who showed up at his old house. In fact, one stalker keyed his assistant’s new Bronco, while another stalker broke into his very own bedroom under the premise of bringing him his postmates order. Yet another stalker left him a terrifying note via drone, claiming that the vlogger would “soon know” who they were. Those are just some of many other instances of unwanted guests breaching personal boundaries, so it comes as little surprise that Dobrik might have chosen to change location in order to get away from surprise visitors. That being said, it seems like Dobrik and co are absolutely pumped to get working in their new podcast studio, giving fans a fair share of content after waiting nearly a year for more content from their favorite internet star.

David Dobrik responds to backlash after claiming he “hates nature” Instagram: David DobrikAfter an onslaught of hateful comments, David Dobrik has responded to the backlash he faced for claiming that he “hates nature” on his Views podcast with Jason Nash. As a huge YouTuber known for massive giveaways and wholesome content, Dobrik’s comments, if at all negative, can cause a stir among his fans. In the episode in question, Dobrik explains at length why he “hates nature,” and how outdoor activities really don’t do it for him. “I cannot describe to you how much I f***ing hate nature,” Dobrik said. “I never knew I could be so angry at something. I was hiking in the mountains, and everybody I saw, I was just getting angry at. I was like, ‘Why are you here?’ I was so mad!” “It feels so wrong because everybody loves nature,” he continued. “…what is so cool about something that’s been there… for millions of years! What is so cool about that? …it feels like everything I’ve worked for has been erased. I’m stuck with the dirt and the grass and the leaves.” Angry commenters had a lot to say about his opinions on the world around him and on his attitude about something as mundane as nature. “I don’t justify it, but now I understand the hate that you get for being so closed-minded and kind of a d**k to your friends or the planet,” one person wrote. “I know that you have done great things like charities and donations. But DUDE, grow up a bit, you live in a bubble.” (Topic begins at 5:45) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ojIoxBetvY But in the latest episode of Views with fellow YouTuber Jason Nash, they discussed the backlash Dobrik faced and read out Dexerto’s article on the subject. Dobrik explained that fans misunderstood his intentions: “I said I didn’t like nature and by this, I didn’t mean that I don’t care about the ecosystem where I think you shouldn’t recycle and I think you should litter. It was like I just literally do not care for walks.” “I wasn’t joking about the actual nature but I was kind of like you guys are gonna really hate me for this. I didn’t think people would actually get mad and people are pissed.” Since the latest episode has aired, angry commenters are nowhere to be seen. It seems that the adamant defenders of nature walks have been appeased.

David Dobrik releases second apology video: “I’ve let a lot of people down” YouTube: David DobrikYouTube star David Dobrik has released a second apology video, addressing the ongoing sexual abuse allegations against Vlog Squad member Durte Dom, and apologizing for his “cowardly” original response released late last week. Following his March 16 apology, David Dobrik has released a seven-minute video responding to the controversies surrounding him and the Vlog Squad. The most majority of these include sexual assault allegations leveled against former Vlog Squad star Dominykas Zeglaitis, better known as ‘Durte Dom,’ dating back to a video in late 2018. “I fully believe the woman that came out against Dom and said she was sexually assaulted by him,” he said. “I got consent to post the video, but even though I got consent, I should have never posted it. What I understand now… is she sent that text because she felt like she had to, and that’s f**ked up. “It was cowardly of me to say in my last apology I ‘missed the mark’,” he added in the video, titled 03/22/21, “because it’s fucking gross, and I’m sorry.” The YouTube star revealed he would be “taking a short break” from social media. “It doesn’t feel right to go back to posting how I had been, and it doesn’t feel right to go dark because I love what I do. But I feel like it’s important to show that change is possible and I’m learning. Maybe even forgiveness is possible,” he said. The YouTuber also apologized for how he initially reacted to Dom’s allegations. “I’m sorry that I took Dom’s word for what happened in those certain situations and I didn’t believe you,” he said. “Not only did I not believe you, but I made a joke about what kind of a person Dom was because I couldn’t wrap my head around a childhood friend of mine actually doing this to people. Not only didn’t I discredit you Ali, but I platformed Dom, and I platformed sexual assault in a negative way where I made jokes about it and I reinforced that kind of behavior. “I really let you down, and a lot of people down. “I didn’t go back to any of these women and apologize. I kind of moved on and I learned from it, but I didn’t address the situation. “I didn’t reach out to any of these people, and it breaks my heart knowing that I was doing all this stuff while there were people still really hurt by what I made.” After the allegations against Durte Dom surfaced in March, Dobrik was accused of fostering a toxic workplace on his channel. He has been accused by former YouTube co-workers of creating an atmosphere that left them feeling “worthless” and “traumatized.” The backlash has seen Dobrik lose sponsorships with Electronic Arts, HBO, and more. There have been efforts to ‘review bomb’ his Dispo app as well, and he began losing followers in massive numbers. An apology video the star has since described as “cowardly” was also met with massive vitriol. On March 22, he also left Dispo to “not distract” from the app’s growth.

David Dobrik releases “grossest” vlog footage ever Instagram: daviddobrikDavid Dobrik has released what he believes is “the grossest thing [we’ve] ever done” in his February 24 vlog, making people physically sick in the process. Though Dobrik’s content is usually lighthearted, quick skits or jokes that are easily consumed and to enjoy, this particular footage even came with a warning beforehand, with Dobrik even advising viewers to stop watching. Of course, when he frames it as “the grossest thing we’ve ever done,” not many people will be able to just leave it there – but the footage is truly grim. After what seemed to be one of his regular vlogs, which saw his friends making fools of themselves and generally being sociable, David explains what is about to happen and advises viewers to “just skip over this if you hate gross s**t” but that he finds it “so funny.” He proceeds to show footage of his friend Suzy Antonyan holding a cup, which he says is “p*ss” for a “drug test” – then says that “Jason is going to drink it.” Hardly missing a beat, Jason raises the cup to his mouth and everyone immediately starts freaking out. While carnage is ensuing around him, Jason sips the urine sample (although we can’t confirm the legitimacy of said urine) and behind him, Suzy’s brother Nick starts vomiting at the end of the bed. (Timestamp 2:51 for mobile viewers) The entire scene is genuinely disgusting, but it’s revealed after that it was, in fact, a planned stunt, and that the vomit was just a caramel macchiato. Suffice to say, if you’ve got a weak stomach this footage might have pushed you over the edge, and it definitely crosses the line for what might be considered family-friendly content despite the fact it wasn’t real. With many upcoming YouTubers looking to emulate some of David Dobrik’s style, since his vlogs are so incredibly popular, we’re just hoping this doesn’t become a more common occurrence.

David Dobrik reveals why he refuses to take Uber rides YouTube: Vanity Fair / UberDavid Dobrik may have enough money in the bank to get an Uber anywhere he wants, but the YouTube star has revealed he hates using the car-ride service, and others like it, and almost flat out refuses to use them. Uber and other ride-sharing services revolutionized how people got around during the 2010s. Instead of having to hail a taxi on the sidewalk and paying exorbitant fees, Uber made it so drivers came to you, for cheap. While it was an appealing proposition to most, it wasn’t for David Dobrik. The YouTuber gets around in his own car everywhere, showing it off in his weekly vlogs, and refuses to catch a cab. The topic came up while the YouTube star was recapping what his average day looks like to Vanity Fair in a recent interview. He made an off-handed comment about how much he despises catching a taxi or using ride-sharing services like Uber, preferring to drive himself around. “I love driving,” he said. “Everywhere we go is 100%, like I have to be driving. I’m so uncomfortable in other people’s cars, I can’t [use] Uber. While being uncomfortable when he’s not in control is one reason, that’s not the only one as to why Dobrik prefers to chauffeur himself, and his friends around. He just loves the feeling of being behind the wheel. For mobile readers, the related segment begins at 4:04 “I’m like that guy that, when I had more time, I would love to pick up my friends from the airport,” he added. “I would get so mad at them when they would call an Uber, because I was like ‘I can be there, let me just pick you up, I love driving.’” He also added that on any given day, he would spend hours in the car, either chatting with friends, organizing his day, or just meandering around. “Most of my day, I think, is spent in my car either driving around or going from house to house seeing what people are doing.” The YouTuber’s life isn’t just holed up inside his car, even if his vlogs do have a fair bit of driving in them. He gets around to places all across the USA by plane, chills with his closest friends every night, and has some pretty quirky superstitions about certain mundane tasks. From setting an alarm every 20 minutes in the morning so it feels like “more sleep,” to catching the water in the shower with his mouth to make gushing waterfalls, there’s a lot to Dobrik that’s not shown on camera. Not taking Ubers is just one of the YouTuber’s many quirks, and whether it be superstition or not, it’s just how he loves to live his dream.

David Dobrik “really scared” after insane number of puzzle entries Instagram: 100kpuzzle / daviddobrikSocial media star David Dobrik has revealed the concerns he has over his ‘Hundred Thousand Dollar Puzzle’ after explaining that the QR code puzzle in which players could potentially win $100k had been purchased over 48,000 times. Fans of David Dobrik were thrilled on December 10 when he announced his new product, a puzzle in which players work to complete QR codes, which can then be scanned to reveal a monetary prize. While prizes can range up to $100,000, naturally most of the winnings will be on the lower end of the spectrum, with the very bottom prize a measly $0.25. But with the puzzle itself set at $30, people will no doubt be praying that they manage to secure a higher prize so they make some money and enjoy making a puzzle at the same time. However, Dobrik has already been called out by some critics for promoting “gambling” to his young audience, calling the product “disgusting.” How many puzzles has David Dobrik sold? It seems that the star hadn’t been expecting quite so many people to participate in the competition, and has now revealed the concerns he has over the insane number of people who have bought the puzzle in his VIEWS podcast with Jason Nash. “I had no f***ing idea. It’s the best selling thing I’ve ever sold in my entire life. And I had no idea it was gonna sell so good, and I’m really f***ing scared.” Read More: Perez Hilton explains Facebook ban – He described that he quickly realized people had got the wrong end of the stick with the possibility of a huge cash prize. “I even made a story and I was like ‘guys, buy the puzzle. But there’s a good chance that you’re not gonna f***ing win $100,000.” Topic starts at 23:27 Revealing the crazy amount of interest in the puzzle, Dobrik went on to say that “I think a little over, now it’s over 48,000 people have bought this f***ing thing? And it’s like, that means a little over 47,000 people are not gonna win the £100k, and that’s gonna be a lot of disappointed people.” He described messages he received from people where they told him they had purchased ten puzzles thinking it would increase their chances of winning big, much to the star’s horror. “The way it should be viewed is it’s a puzzle first, and then there’s a sweet little gimmicky thing on top.” The YouTuber revealed that there’s over $250,000 worth of prizes, which may well be tempting for some who want to see if they can win big, or perhaps just for those who want to solve a tough-looking puzzle.

David Dobrik reacts to rumors of Natalie dating Vlog Squad member Instagram: natalinanoel / YouTube: David Dobrik[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTube star David Dobrik and his assistant, Natalie, have long been at the center of a speculated romance in the eyes of fans — but now, the long-running rumors may have been put to rest. David Dobrik is one of YouTube’s most popular personalities, boating over 18 million subscribers thanks to his chaotic and fast-paced vlogs (which, more often than not, include some sort of ridiculous prank or shenanigans). However, Dobrik is nearly equally as well-known for his odd relationship with Natalie Mariduena, his close friend and assistant — and although they have confirmed they are not dating multiple times in the past, that hasn’t stopped fans from fabricating a covert romance between the two. Now, an Instagram photo posted by Natalie could have thrown a monkey wrench in fans’ theories, showing the Vlog Squad member cuddling up on the beach with fellow YouTuber and former Viner Todd Smith during what seems to be an impromptu beach date. While the Vlog Squad is known for getting cozy with one another, many viewers are speculating that the photo could signal a potential romance between Natalie and Todd — a possibility that isn’t too far-fetched, considering the humorous history Todd has of flirting with her. Desperate to get to the bottom of the matter, Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR reached out to Dobrik to confirm the potential relationship — but, unfortunately, it looks like the YouTube sensation knows just as much as the rest of us. “I have no f**king clue hahaha,” Dobrik said of the issue in a reply to KEEMSTAR’s questioning. “I wish I knew, myself.” Although David and Natalie have joked about sleeping together to egg fans on, it seems that things have gotten even more confusing between the two YouTubers. For now, all fans can do is watch and wait for some confirmation from either Natalie or Todd — and considering the group’s history of keeping things under wraps or outright joking about the subject, it doesn’t look like we’ll get any solid updates from the squad any time soon.

David Dobrik reacts to Natalie Noel’s Sports Illustrated catwalk: “Oh my God” Instagram: natalinanoel/daviddobrikYouTube star David Dobrik reacted to assistant Natalie Noel’s July 10 catwalk, a highly anticipated event after the central member of the Vlog Squad was added to the Sports Illustrated swimwear roster in March 2021. The pair’s friendship was called into question earlier in 2021 after allegations surfaced of misconduct within the team. Natalie later addressed the controversy in an Instagram story posted March 23. Since then, the freshly scouted sportswear star has confirmed she’s still in touch with childhood friend David, and her relationship with fellow Vlog Squad star Toddy Smith remains intact. Natalie’s addition to the roster earned the publication praise for diversity. The move prompted admiration from fans and editors alike. “You are so inspiring,” commented one fan. “Yes to this,” said another. “No filter, no edit… just pure beauty.” Sports Illustrated editor MJ Day credited Natalie for her drive and graciousness. “Natalie is a phenomenon,” she said. “You immediately get why she has made such an impact on her legions of followers.” Childhood friend David Dobrik was one of Natalie’s supporters during the Sports Illustrated Summer Runway Show. The swimwear exhibition was held July 10 at the Mondrian Hotel in Miami. During the video, David was heard to comment “Oh my God, that was Natalie!” Natalie’s boyfriend Toddy Smith was also present at the runway, seemingly quashing breakup rumors. He made his appearance known on his Instagram story. Topic starts at 0:43 Natalie’s addition to the Sports Illustrated roster continues to make headlines, as people have been praising the publication’s inclusivity.

David Dobrik puts win streak on the line gambling $20k of friend’s money YouTube sensation David Dobrik has a history of gambling huge amounts of his friends’ money in Las Vegas – and he put his streak on the line with $20,000 on the roulette table in his January 7 vlog. In his first video of the year, David proved that he was only going bigger and better in 2020. He buried friend Jason Nash underground to “serve his head” to friends in a picnic. He once again tracked the ongoing struggles of friend Ilya Fedorovich to earn the love of his assistant Natalie Mariduena. However, it was a journey he made with Natalie, Jason, Todd Smith and Jeff Wittek (all members of his revered Vlog Squad YouTube group) to Vegas that has taken the cake this time around, where he gambled $20k of Jeff’s money to keep up his insane win streak. Jeff had apparently made a comment the night before that he wanted to do it, but seemed a little more reluctant the next day. As the journey started, he said “I didn’t want to do this anymore when I woke up.” He then asked David how many times he’s won these big bets in a row, to which David simply said: “I haven’t lost.” And, at least how it appears in his vlogs, this appears to be true, as he has the most ridiculous luck you’ll ever see. After saying he “doesn’t want to f**k up” David’s winning streak, they head out to Vegas to put $20k on black and, hopefully, double his money. And, of course, after a few tense moments watching the ball circle around the roulette wheel, it hits black and the group cheer and celebrate together. Dobrik continues winning big money for his friends at the roulette table, which must help ease the pain when he isn’t randomly gifting them expensive items such as cars or vacation trips. It’s things like this that have helped build David such a rabid fanbase, and also keeps his content fresh and exciting every time you watch. Even though we all know, deep down, that he’s going to win again, there will always be curiosity over his gambling wins and how long he can keep it up. With an extra $20k to add to his tally, David Dobrik might have found a new career in Vegas when he moves on from YouTube.

David Dobrik pulled over by police for bizarre reason Instagram: daviddobrik / Unsplash: Marc Olivier JodoinIn his February 10 vlog, David Dobrik and his friends got pulled over for one of the strangest reasons you could imagine while driving through LA in his Tesla. The action-packed video saw Dobrik surprise Natalie with a puppy, as well as amplify the rumors of her and Todd Smith dating after the recent incident which saw him place screenshots of their messages on a massive billboard. However, at the end of the vlog, things really take a turn when David gets pulled over and he and his cohorts are clearly nervous about it, unsure of why exactly they were being stopped by police. The footage starts with friend Heath Hussar standing in the back of the Tesla with his head out of the sunroof, losing his hat in the process. Not long after, you see the red and blue lights of the police and they pull the car over, Dobrik telling his friend that he “sucks” in the process. The officer addresses “the guy standing up sticking their head out while driving,” which Heath owns up to while friend Zane Hijazi laughs and makes jokes in the passenger seat. David obviously doesn’t find it funny and frequently asks him to stop, nervous about the encounter. When the officer comes back from his car, he tells Heath that he’s got to get out of the car and walk, and they seem happy to part ways to please the cop before reuniting later on. After it’s all dealt with, Dobrik says that as soon as the police officer turned up, Zane was repeatedly telling him that David is illegally in the country, obviously an allusion to his Slovakian upbringing. Though they laugh about it, David was clearly in disbelief at Zane’s confidence in telling the cop to “check his papers,” laughing while he retells the story. Everyone involved got off without any major issues, and the group even reconvened with Heath, who had gone back and found his hat, to continue their activities elsewhere.

David Dobrik pukes on Hot Ones after revealing his craziest legal scare First We Feast, YouTubeYouTube star David Dobrik is one of the net’s top social media celebrities, best known for his viral vlogs featuring his friend group, the “vlog squad” — but despite his crazy hijinks, it seems that he couldn’t handle the heat from a few spicy wings. Dobrik was invited onto an episode of the popular online show Hot Ones, hosted by Interviewer Sean Evans, who puts a unique spin on his celebrity Q & A sessions with an array of increasingly spicy hot wings. Having featured such names as Margot Robbie, Pete Davidson, and even Will Ferrell, Dobrik’s YouTube fame found him in the hot seat during a March 12 episode of the series — and he quickly realized he was out of his depth. After admitting to not being able to handle spicy food, the YouTuber powered his way through the entire interview, gulping down glasses of milk and water to stave off the spice as he attempted to answer Evans’ questions. However, the vlogger finally broke after the segment finished filming, claiming that he needed to find a trash can and asking Evans if he should literally spill his guts. As if on cue, Dobrik hurled into a nearby trash bin, coming back up with a triumphant “F**k yes!” as if completing a sacred rite of passage. That wasn’t the craziest moment from his time on the show, though: in fact, the star revealed a slew of unreleased info about his career, including a potential lawsuit from his neighbor. Dobrik recalled his viral dry foam experiment from winter 2019, which he claimed ruined his backyard and outdoor furniture after exploding out of its canister — but the real drama came after his downstairs neighbor complained that the foam had flown into their property, and even burned his wife while she was relaxing in their hot tub. (Segment begins at 1:22 for mobile readers) “He said a piece of the foam hit his wife and burned her while she was in the hot tub,” Dobrik explained. “Which is impossible, because the second the foam comes out, you can touch it, you can play with it, you can rub it all over your skin. He was trying to get me in trouble.” Thankfully, the situation presumably never went to court, leaving the YouTuber with a unique story to tell during his eye-watering interview.

David Dobrik prank makes Jason Nash mock Drew Barrymore film to her face YouTube: The Drew Barrymore ShowDavid Dobrik is well known for giving away cars and cash, but something else that has made him super popular is the pranks he pulls on his friends — but this might be one of his biggest yet. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] In the past, we’ve seen him surprise fans with Justin Bieber, with some of them critiquing his single Yummy before the star pops out to scare them, providing some hilarious results. Channeling a similar energy, Dobrik went on the Drew Barrymore show to talk about his YouTube career and life outside of it, too, before planning to play a brilliant prank on good friend and comedian Jason Nash. The two have never seen eye-to-eye on popular Drew Barrymore film 50 First Dates, which David says is a “top 10 film of all time,” an opinion that Nash thoroughly disputes. Of course, David being who he is, couldn’t pass up the opportunity to drop his friend in it, and did so in brilliant fashion. While sitting on set of The Drew Barrymore Show, with the actress right across from him, David made a video call to Jason saying he’s doing a “pop quiz” before firing off some quickfire questions, with 50 First Dates naturally cropping up. Saying that it “doesn’t deserve to be called one of the 10 greatest movies of all time,” Nash goes on to say that he would put it in his list of “top 10 David idiot movies” — with Barrymore making her presence known immediately after, and Jason struggling to properly get his opinion out and try not to be too insulting of her work. Finally, Jason simply exclaims “David, I can’t believe you’ve done this to me” before Drew makes light of it and says that they should “enjoy each other’s differences.” To his credit, Nash didn’t back down when he realized that he was talking to Barrymore, saying that calling 50 First Dates a “top 10 movie of all time” would be a stretch, but she could definitely go on record agreeing with it if she would like to. Needless to say, it was all in good faith and it’s unlikely anybody was upset, making the prank that much better.

David Dobrik reportedly plotting YouTube comeback for “beginning of next year” YouTube: David DobrikDavid Dobrik is reportedly already plotting an early 2022 return on YouTube, according to at least one popular insider, with the vlogger all set to shoot an extended Hawaii getaway with his crew in preparation for his comeback video. Up until recently, David Dobrik was one of the biggest new-age influencers on the internet. The 24-year-old commanded a YouTube empire, based around high-energy pranks, huge giveaways, and regular four-minute, 21-second vlogs. Public opinion drastically shifted against the YouTuber early this year though, when an ex-Vlog Squad member accused Dobrik of pressuring him into a dangerous prank. That accusation opened the floodgates; his lieutenant Durte Dom was accused of sexual assault, and sponsors abandoned him in droves. Soon after, Dobrik apologized for “letting a lot of people down,” and announced he would be taking a hiatus for the foreseeable future. The YouTuber has already set the wheels in motion to end his internet exile, however, with the disgraced vlogger allegedly shooting a video in Hawaii that is set to release “the beginning of next year” as part of his planned 2022 comeback. According to Instagram insider deuxmoi, Dobrik “is back.” That doesn’t necessarily mean his 18.3 million YouTube subscribers will see a new vlog pop up in their video queues any time soon though. Instead, the disgraced influencer is set to begin shooting his return videos in the near future. First up, apparently, is a tropical getaway. Reports suggest David Dobrik will be “surprising” what’s left of his once-overflowing entourage with a Hawaii holiday, all of which will be filmed. Dexerto has yet to confirm how long they will be staying in Honolulu, but he’s expected to bank several videos’ worth of content while there. This footage isn’t expected to surface for the next seven months. Instead, the YouTuber will reportedly sit on his filmed vlog content for the better part of 2021, before an orchestrated return at the “beginning of next year.” If reports surrounding Dobrik’s return plot are true, his comeback vlog will be posted just over ten months after his second apology in late March. The planned video isn’t the only thing the YouTuber has cooking during his hiatus. Just last week, Dobrik’s close friend and fellow Vlog Squad member Corinna Kopf hinted that “VIEWS” — Dobrik’s lifestyle podcast — could be back as soon as June. The show’s last episode aired on March 11. For the most part, however, Dobrik has maintained his internet silence over the past two months; we’ll keep you updated once the YouTuber finally returns.

David Dobrik pays for childhood friend’s $60,000 hip surgery YouTube: David DobrikYouTube star David Dobrik has officially made his return to vlogging, and amidst the internet-wide debate surrounding his comeback, he changed the life of a childhood friend in a huge way. David Dobrik’s return to YouTube hasn’t gone without controversy; the vlogger took several months off content creation earlier this year after former Vlog Squad members spoke out about mistreatment and being pressured into uncomfortable — and sometimes dangerous — situations for his high-flying pranks. While Dobrik has since resumed his regular vlogging (several lost sponsors and hundreds of thousands of lost subscribers later), his return hasn’t exactly been a warm welcome from everyone… but that didn’t put a damper on a huge plan he had in store for one of his friends. On June 29, Dobrik uploaded a vlog detailing his plot to move three of his close childhood friends from their hometown to Los Angeles, after they purportedly claimed they were trying to move to the big city. (It’s worth noting that Dobrik also bought them a house to live in together in winter 2019.) To distract his friends and pull off the surprise, Dobrik flew them to LA under the premise of a “fake job interview,” while assistant Natalie cleaned out their old house and packed their bags. Once in Los Angeles, Dobrik dropped a huge surprise on one of his friends, Alex, who had been afflicted by a rare infection that affected his hip when he was younger. This condition has prevented him from walking properly for the past twelve years. Thanks to a new surgery, Alex and others with similar conditions are able to walk without an impairment — but it comes with a hefty price tag. (Segment starts at 2:36) Luckily, Dobrik — in partnership with Triller and the Aryana Healthcare Foundation — raised $60,000 for the procedure, which he gifted to his friend in an emotional segment near the end of his latest vlog. Before letting the waterworks flow, Alex let off a humorous jab fitting for the chaotic energy of Dobrik’s videos: “Finally!” In wake of Dobrik’s latest upload, viewers brought up another video of his from 2016, where the vlogger explained the story behind the infection that afflicted Alex. Dobrik claimed that, when they were kids, he’d thrown a pinecone at Alex. The pinecone allegedly struck Aelx’s eye, sparking a staph infection that “ended up eating the bone marrow in his hip.” In a way, it seems somewhat fitting that Dobrik would be the one to foot the bill for his friend’s surgery after this video was brought back up, prompting further discussion around his behavior across social media in the process.

David Dobrik calls new TV show his “dream job” instead of YouTube YouTube: VIEWSDavid Dobrik called his new TV show, Discovering David Dobrik, his “dream job” and claimed he’s “stoked” to be able to do it, fuelling rumors that he might be quitting YouTube for good. In September 2021, Dobrik announced that he was hosting a new travel show, Discovering David Dobrik, on Discovery+. At the time, it was something extra he did as a bonus alongside his main focus – YouTube vlogs. However, Dobrik later revealed that he is considering quitting vlogging altogether and even claimed he hasn’t made money doing it in four years. It’s much less than the $275,000 per month he was making at its peak. On January 18, he described his role on Discovering David Dobrik as his “dream job,” admitting that the crazy experiences he’s had doing it so far have won him over. It’s a stark contrast to how he’s talked about YouTube lately. “I was very reluctant to do a TV show,” said Dobrik. “I’ve done TV shows before where I’ve had full-blown panic attacks asking myself why the f*** am I doing this? But this is the one show I’m so stoked that I did.” He explained that he gets to have “crazy experiences.” This includes everything from $15,000 first-class flights to exotic food, exciting activities, and top-tier accommodation. “This is literally the dream job,” he laughed. Read More: How does David Dobrik make money? – What’s more, he loves the fact that they let him use parts of it for his vlog too. “Some of it is on my camera as well. They use my footage. They let me use anything for the vlog, which is really cool. They’re really accommodating.” The relevant topic begins at the 8:20 mark below. Dobrik’s future on YouTube is still up in the air. However, the positive experience he’s had on his TV show so far could be enough to steer him away for good in the near future. We’ll have to wait and see how it all pans out. But Dobrik did say he wanted to “try something new,” and now, he might have found his niche.

David Dobrik mukbangs fried chicken in new $200k Aston Martin supercar TikTok: DavidDobrik / YouTube: Ugh its JoeDavid Dobrik may be best-known for his Vlogs and insane generosity, but he also has an incredible taste in cars. His latest garage addition might be his most suave yet, and was revealed in a video with fellow YouTuber Ugh its Joe. Finding a car to replace his Ferrari was never going to be easy, and despite saying he was “over his supercar phase” David seems to have found the perfect replacement. Going for a blend of power and exclusivity, David’s latest car purchase has been revealed as the 2020 Aston Martin DB11. Choosing to unveil his new car in a typically unconventional way, David featured in a ‘mukbang’ video with fellow creator ‘Ugh its Joe‘ eating fried chicken in his brand new Aston Martin. “This is a really bad way to break in a new car” Straight from the word go, he regrets his decision to eat greasy fried food on the leather seats of his DB11. Starting from the $200k mark, David will have likely personalized his car, meaning the price will be way beyond that. “This is a really bad way to break in a new car… you can pour your ketchup all over this b**ch” joked David before the started eating. Joe is no stranger to David’s incredible taste in cars. Dobrik once gifted him a Corvette, but unfortunately, David had to take the video down as one of the cast were “hammered out of their mind.” Thankfully, an alternate version of the video is still available on Joe’s channel. David is clearly in a good mood from showing off his new car and eating fantastic fried chicken, as he compliments Joe’s videos. “I think they’re going to be upset” “There are creators in the world that can’t put out bad content… and you’re not one of them!” he jokes, before confirming that Joe stays “true to what he creates” and “never disappoints fans.” Not only does that content include Joe’s ‘mukbang’ video, but Dobrik also filmed reactions to his new car on his TikTok channel. Revealing that Ilya and Natalie told him “not to get it” their reactions were pretty much as expected after David said “I think they’re going to be upset”. Natalie simply said: “I f***ing knew it… why, why did you do that!” Ilya was much more excited, asking if he can “take it for a quick spin” after the reveal.

David Dobrik makes assistant Natalie co-owner of pro soccer team Instagram: daviddobrikEver the extravagant gift-giver, David Dobrik has stepped up with his birthday present for his assistant Natalie Mariduena, by buying her part-ownership of a professional soccer club. [jwplayer MvEjv9It] In the past, David has gifted a ludicrous amount of cars, gifts and cash to his friends, fans and strangers alike. David gifted Natalie her dream car, a baby blue Ford Bronco, for her birthday last year, so was probably a little lost for how to one-up himself this time around, especially considering how miserable a year most of us have had. So, instead of buying her a material gift, David made Natalie a part-owner of a professional soccer club. Yes, really. Angel City Football Club is one of the planned expansion teams in the National Women’s Soccer League, expected to begin play in the 2022 season. Based in Los Angeles, California, the team has a number of high-profile investors including Hollywood actresses Natalie Portman and Eva Longoria — and, now Natalie from David’s vlog. Tricking her by saying they’ve got a meeting, David instead blindfolds Natalie and takes her out into the middle of the Banc of Los Angeles pitch, which featured a huge banner on one side saying “Angel City FC proud owner, Natalie Mariduena.” Naturally, she was completely shocked and clearly at a loss for words, simply asking David “what the heck” is happening. What’s great about this gift is that it’s more of an investment than anything, with Natalie likely to make money from the club for as long as it exists, and without even having to spend a single dime herself. It’s not clear how much of an ownership stake Natalie now owns in Angel City FC but, no matter the amount, it’s a seriously impressive present, and one she won’t be forgetting any time soon.

David Dobrik loses tons of subs and Instagram followers over Vlog Squad controversy YouTube: David DobrikYouTuber and content creator David Dobrik has seen his social media following take a hit, as allegations of misconduct and toxicity continue to swirl around the American-Slovakian and his ‘Vlog Squad’. Much has been said about David Dobrik and his Vlog Squad in recent weeks. The American YouTuber has seen former collaborators accuse him of creating an atmosphere of toxicity, leaving them feeling “worthless” and “traumatized.” Dobrik finally responded to the allegations in a March 16 YouTube video, saying: “I’ve grown as a person and I don’t agree with some of the videos I’ve posted”. The situation has worsened since Dobrik’s apology video, with Vlog Squad member Durte Dom facing more allegations of sexual misconduct. The backlash has seen Dobrik lose sponsorships with Electronic Arts, HBO and more. There have been efforts to ‘review bomb’ his Dispo app as well, but it now appears that he is losing followers in massive numbers. Social media tracking site SocialBlade states that, since March 17 (the day after his apology video was published), he has lost over 200,000 YouTube subscribers, dropping from 18.9m to 18.7m. There’s also a whopping reduction in the number of views his channel has, with a drop of 66 million apparent on March 19. Usually, such a significant and sudden drop in views means a creator has deleted videos from their channel. Similar changes are also evident in his Instagram following, with SocialBlade suggesting he has lost over 78,000 followers in the last 30 days. The allegations against Dobrik began to surface in February. The numbers may only be dents in his monumental following, but it stands to show how many people have chosen to move away from the creator off the back of the allegations. This drop in subscribers and followers is expected to continue for the time being, too.

Sponsors drop David Dobrik after Vlog Squad controversies: EA, HBO, Bumble, more YouTube: SeatGeekYouTube sensation David Dobrik is having a tough time following allegations made against the Vlog Squad, and that includes losing out on sponsorship money. Earlier in March 2021, allegations surfaced regarding Dominykas Zeglaitis, better known as former Vlog Squad member ‘Durte Dom,’ regarding sexual assault of a woman “too intoxicated to consent” during the filming of a video in 2018. Hannah, who was 20 years old at the time, claims Zeglaitis, then aged 23, of engaging in sexual activity while she was “so incapacitated” she couldn’t consent. Dobrik filmed Hannah and her friends engaging with several members from the Vlog Squad. Now, following the allegations, Dobrik himself is potentially missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars through the collapse of business relationships. The likes of EA Sports, Audible, HBO, and General Mills have all confirmed that they will no longer work with him. List of sponsors that have dropped David Dobrik While Dobrik does indeed generate revenue from adverts on his videos, it’s clear that sponsorships are a big driver of income for him. A report from Business Insider states that Dobrik’s sponsorship from grooming brand Dollar Shave Club has ended, delivery service DoorDash explained that they “profoundly condemns the behavior of the Vlog Squad members,” and FIFA developers EA Sports (who once gifted him a Lamborghini for a YouTube video) have no plans to continue their relationship. Streaming platform HBO Max, social platform Facebook, Amazon’s audiobook company Audible, browser extension Honey, delivery service Postmates, and food companies General Mills, Chipotle, Frank’s RedHot, and Hello Fresh have also confirmed they’re no longer working with Dobrik and his fellow Vlog Squad members. Additionally, Bumble, the dating app, has cut all ties with the YouTuber as well citing a “zero-tolerance policy when it comes to abuse, misogyny, or threatening behavior of any kind.” Previously, Dobrik had run giveaways through the app, with a profile of him appearing, letting users swipe right to ‘virtually date’ him. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1374027587945517063 Sponsorships allow Dobrik and his team to execute on lavish and adventurous video ideas, like gifting his friends Teslas, paying off college tuitions, and expensive giveaways. The creator broke his silence on the matter on March 17, releasing a short apology video on the YouTube channel for his VIEWS podcast. “I love being able to make people happy for a living. That’s all that I want to do,” he said. “That being said, consent is something that’s super important to me. Whether I’m shooting with a friend or a stranger, I always make sure I have the approval from that person. There’ve been moments where I’ve looked back on videos and I’ve realized these don’t represent me anymore.”

David Dobrik loses over 2.3 billion YouTube views and 400K subs amid ongoing controversy David Dobrik/YouTubeIt’s been a rough week for YouTuber David Dobrik amid the ongoing Vlog Squad controversy, and it’s now been revealed that the whole situation has already cost his channel billions of views and hundreds of thousands of subscribers. A host of allegations of sexual assault, bullying and harassment have come out against Dobrik and his Vlog Squad this week, with major sponsors backing out and even YouTube demonetizing all of his channels on the site. While Dobrik has already issued multiple apologies, that obviously hasn’t been enough to save his channel stats from suffering due to the backlash from fans, according to some new information. According to data from Saturday, March 27 found on SocialBlade.com, and shared by YouTuber Def Noodles, Dobrik’s main YouTube channel has lost more than 2.3 billion combined video views due to him removing and deleting old content. That’s more pairs of eyes than most YouTubers will ever see on their videos, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg of how bad he’s been hit. When it comes to subscribers, a typical measure for how popular certain YouTubers are, SocialBlade reveals that he’s lost more than 400,000 since Marcy 17 alone, going from just under 18.9 million to 18.5 million in just a few days. On top of all of that, according to SocialBlade, the estimated dollar amount of all of those lost views is anywhere between $574,300 – $9.2 million. That’s not saying Dobrik is suddenly financially ruined by any means, since the videos being removed are all old, but it does go to show how much this whole thing could end up hurting him. Fewer subscribers means fewer people being notified about your content, which could very well result in lower views per video for Dobrik if he keeps bleeding hundreds of thousands of subs at a time. That’s not even taking into consideration YouTube demonetizing every single one of his channels due to the controversy over old Vlog Squad videos, as we mentioned before, which happened without any kind of indication that it could be reversed soon.

David Dobrik left terrified after superfan breaks into his house with Door Dash meal Freepik.com – 8Photo / New VIEWS Podcast Highlights, YouTubeYouTube star David Dobrik was left frightened for his life after a fan broke into his bedroom to deliver a Door Dash meal that had been left on his doorstep. The life of an internet star seems like a charmed one; gaining thousands of dedicated fans and raking in the big bucks with sponsorship deals doesn’t sound too bad, after all. Unfortunately, this dream job comes with some pretty severe drawbacks, one of those being regular and severe invasions of influencers’ personal privacy. David Dobrik is one such superstar whose privacy has been breached numerous times, with a slew of overenthusiastic fans showing up to his house unbidden. View this post on Instagram On a January 12 episode of his VIEWS podcast with Jason Nash, Dobrik revealed yet another major invasion of his personal space — and this time, it was more frightening than ever before. Dobrik claimed that he and his assistant had ordered food over Door Dash one morning, just after he had woken up. While he was still laying in bed, a stranger came into his bedroom with the food some time later — and it wasn’t his delivery driver. “He wasn’t our Door Dasher,” Dobrik explained. “He was just some kid who had picked up our food from our doorstep and came into my room to deliver it to me.” According to Dobrik’s assistant, she’d seen the stranger outside of their home before he broke in and had asked him to leave. Although the two walked him out of the house and ordered him an Uber home, the fan showed back up later that day, wearing a hoodie with his hands concealed inside its front pocket. “‘Put your hands where I can see them!’ I kept screaming at him,” Dobrik said. “And he wasn’t. I was like, ‘We’re calling the police.’ …I thought he was going to shoot me in the head. Honestly.” (Topic begins at 1:15) Luckily, the police showed up soon after to take the fan away — but this is far from the first time such occurrences have happened to Dobrik, with one fan scrawling messages on his assistant’s car and another leaving an entire kitten on his doorstep. No matter how you may view them, influencers are people, too, and deserve their privacy, with Dobrik’s latest encounter being just one of hundreds of such occurrences to happen to content creators the world over.

David Dobrik steps down from Dispo as lead investor cuts ties from camera app YouTube: David Dobrik, DispoYouTube star David Dobrik has stepped down from his camera app Dispo following a string of allegations against his content group, Vlog Squad. Originally known as ‘David’s Disposable,’ the app was launched in December 2019 and quickly found success. They have since raised two investments and were recently valued at $200m. Now, following quickly from allegations levelled at several members of the Vlog Squad, companies and investors alike are hitting Dobrik where it hurts: his pockets. As per a report by The Information, the YouTuber has stepped down from the app’s board in an effort to distant himself from the project to not retract from their success. “David has chosen to step down from the board and leave the company to not distract from the company’s growth,” a representative for Dispo said in a statement. “Dispo’s team, product, and most importantly- our community- stand for building a diverse, inclusive, and empowering world. Spark Capital, the company that led Dispo’s recent $20 million investment, has also announced that it would be severing ties with the app. The firm have stepped down from the board and are “in the process” of ensuring they don’t profit from their investment. Seven Seven Six, who led Dispo’s seed round, have tweeted in response to the situation. They’ve not only declared their support in the app’s parting with Dobrik, but they have also decided to donate profits garnered from their investment to an organization that works with sexual assault survivors. They’ll remain part of the company, however. In March 2021 alone, Dobrik has lost hundreds of thousands of followers, a collection of major sponsors, and Dispo has been ‘review-bombed‘ on the app store. The likes of HBO, Amazon, and EA Sports have all declared they will no longer work with him due to recent controversies. The leader of the Vlog Squad responded to some of the allegations on March 16 through a video on the YouTube channel of his VIEWS podcast. “I love being able to make people happy for a living. That’s all that I want to do. That being said, consent is something that’s super important to me,” he said. “Whether I’m shooting with a friend or a stranger, I always make sure I have the approval from that person. There’ve been moments where I’ve looked back on videos and I’ve realized these don’t represent me anymore.”

David Dobrik leaks friend’s drunk texts to assistant on giant billboard Instagram: todderic_David Dobrik has embarrassed one of his best friends by putting a screenshot of his drunk texts to David’s assistant, Natalie, on a huge billboard in Los Angeles, California. Dobrik is constantly finding new ways to make his content bigger and better, focusing on the activities of his friends and what they get up to on a daily basis. While this is often funny and fun for everyone, this time, one of them might be feeling a little embarrassed by it all. The ex-boyfriend of Corinna Kopf, Todd Smith, may have some underlying feelings for Dobrik’s assistant Natalie Mariduena, and they all came out in a series of drunk texts one night. True to Dobrik’s form, he couldn’t let this go unnoticed and decided to share the texts with the entire city. In the vlog posted on February 3, David films various different bits, skits and pranks with his friends, including having Jason Nash made-up as a very creepy-looking alien to scare the rest of them. It was the drunk texts, though, that took center stage, as the popular vlogger exposed Todd’s seemingly desperate attempt to get Natalie to spend some time with him – apparently under the pretense that he is in love with her. By the end of the video, Dobrik had put a screenshot of the texts on a huge Los Angeles billboard on Melrose Avenue, right next to an image of Todd’s face so everybody can be sure it’s him – with Todd and his friends’ reaction the stunt being absolutely priceless. Reading out the texts, David and his friends laugh at messages asking if he can stay with her, telling her “you break my heart,” and finally announcing that he is “falling out of love” with her. They’re the typical drunk texts you would expect to read from a love-stricken young man, and his flitting between being in love with Natalie and not being in love with her is something many will be able to relate to after a heavy night out. However, given the scale of the situation now that it’s up on a massive billboard, Todd might be a bit more cautious about his drunk texts in the future.

David Dobrik launches ‘David’s Disposable’ photo app with retro feel David Dobrik has officially launched his new mobile app ‘David’s Disposable’ – a photo app with a retro feel – to his millions of fans and subscribers. Dobrik has become a YouTube phenomenon in 2019 thanks to his extravagant lifestyle and purchases, all supported by his friends in ‘the Vlog Squad.’ One thing that fans have picked up on and love, though, is David’s second Instagram account, called David’s Disposable – and now he’s come up with a new way to bring disposable photos to his audience in a much more modern way. Dobrik has officially launched his app, David’s Disposable, which allows users to create disposable-style photos similar to his own. Speaking in the app description, Dobrik says: “It’s super easy to use! Just open the app, take your photos, and wait for them to develop. At 9AM every day, you will get a notification that your photos are developed and ready to be viewed, similar to actual disposable cameras. Plus, no more having to waste money buying cameras from the store. We’re bringing high-quality film to your phone. And the best part… you can actually order your photos as prints direct from the app straight to your home.” On his davidsdisposable Instagram account, Dobrik has already amassed nearly 3 million followers at the time of writing, showing that there’s a huge market for this style of photography among his fanbase. The ability to order prints of your photos from within the app is also an interesting one – of course, there are services that already do this, but none replicate a disposable camera feel and nor do they have the backing of one of the Internet’s biggest stars. It will be interesting to see how much this app takes off, given the relatively niche audience it would otherwise have if not for David’s backing. Needless to say, he doesn’t need the extra income, but it’s definitely something cool to provide his fans with.

David Dobrik & IShowSpeed team up to give away 10 Teslas Instagram: daviddobrik, ishowspeedYouTube stars IShowSpeed and David Dobrik are teaming up to give away ten Teslas in an unexpected influencer collaboration. IShowSpeed is one of the most popular streamers on YouTube. After getting permanently banned from Twitch in 2021, Speed migrated to YouTube, where he has dominated as one of the platform’s most-watched broadcasters alongside names like Dr Disrespect and more. Speed has been making major moves in his career ever since then, most recently dropping a viral song with fellow streaming sensation Kai Cenat (to mixed reviews). It looks like Speed isn’t done with his domination as a top streamer, as he’s now collaborating with yet another huge influencer in a surprising turn of events — YouTube star David Dobrik. Although YouTube is where he got his start, prominent vlogger David Dobrik has been relatively silent on the platform over the past year. However, he has been quite active on Instagram and TikTok, where he dropped his latest video that’s sending fans for a loop. David Dobrik teams up with IShowSpeed in unexpected collab On May 4, David Dobrik uploaded a TikTok alongside IShowSpeed, announcing that both creators are giving away ten Teslas in partnership with a certain company. Fans are mostly gobsmacked that Speed snagged a collaboration with the elusive David Dobrik, who hasn’t exactly been making regular content on YouTube for a hot minute. “Man, come back, make vlogs again,” one despondent fan wrote in a comment. “ISHOWSPEED?” another exclaimed, seemingly in disbelief at the collaboration. However, others are a bit disappointed that David didn’t make a vlog about his meetup with Speed, with one writing, “When he said go check it out, I checked his channel thinking there was a new video.” For now, it doesn’t look like there’s a forthcoming YouTube video about their unexpected team-up — but with the giveaway lasting ten days, there’s still room to hold out hope that David might return to YouTube in one of the biggest collabs of the year.

David Dobrik is spoiling VIEWS’ success by sidelining Jason Nash YouTube: VIEWSAfter almost a year hiatus from creating content for YouTube, David Dobrik recently returned with a vlog showing off his new home, and a brand new look for his podcast VIEWS with Jason Nash. However, after the latest episode from his pimped-out studio in his brand new home, thousands of fans were upset with the apparent exclusion of Vlog Squad member and David’s co-presenter Jason Nash – and rightly so. The latest episodes of VIEWS see David and Jason chatting to international superstars such as Diplo, Dillon Francis, Halsey, and Madison Beer. But much of the focus throughout is dedicated to the banter between Dobrik and the guests. Nash appears to only chime in occasionally to laugh or make a witty joke. Fans were particularly furious after the episode with Diplo and Dillon Francis, airing their frustrations in the comments below. “This podcast isn’t entertaining without Jason, and David’s laugh is like Jimmy Fallon’s,” one user wrote. “He is laughing so hard at something that isn’t that funny.” “This is supposed to be a podcast between Jason and David,” another commented. “It’s turning into David’s talk show while Jason sits in the background. If David wanted a talk show, he should have made it separate from the podcast.” VIEWS has totally transformed itself in recent weeks. The podcast was first launched in 2017, focusing on the age disparity, strange friendship, and witty banter between Jason and David who would occasionally invite guests – often their friends, vlog squad members, or internet stars. It rose rapidly in popularity and at points reached no.1 and no.2 in the iTunes chart. While the audio has previously just been uploaded to YouTube alongside pictures of the pair recording. It is now filmed in a studio set-up with a desk where David sits and a sofa for the guests, appearing less like a podcast and far more like a late-night talk show. Dobrik expressed his desire to eventually become a late-night talk show host in an interview in February, noting how the podcast offers him a chance to maintain his own studio, book his own guests and practice hosting celebrities — suggesting that it would be a path toward late-night hosting for content across television and digital media. He described his latest talk-show concept, which remains a work in progress, as “Jackass meets late-night.” Jason Nash deserves more credit With the new studio in full use, David is living out his dream, but perhaps not the dream of his co-host Jason. David is the star of the show seated behind the desk while Jason is seated either on the sofa or on a chair on the other side of the screen to David. In the latest episodes, so much of the focus is on David or the guests, that Jason is rarely seen at all. It’s pretty clear that Dobrik is very comfortable with celebrities, having previously spoken about his interactions with the Kardashians, and hung out with John Stamos, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kevin Hart among others. Clearly, the YouTuber would be a very natural talk show host, but compromising VIEWS in order to make that dream a reality is not in fans’ best interests. The slow erasure of Jason Nash is evidently neglecting what initially made the podcast so popular – fans found the friendship between Jason and David hilarious and fascinating, enjoying the insight into the life of a YouTube while being entertained by the unique way both men bounced off each other. With the focus on celebrities, the dynamic is now wildly different. Ultimately, Jason deserves more credit and attention than he is given as an original vlog squad member and an integral part of VIEWS’ success.
