What happened to David Dobrik? YouTuber vanishes from platform after major comeback

Despite being one of the most popular YouTubers, David Dobrik has not posted a new video on the platform for almost two years. This is making fans wonder where he is and what he’s up to now. Here’s everything we know.

David Dobrik is one of the biggest YouTubers of all time, with a whopping 17.7 million subscribers on the video-sharing site.

Although he still has a massive fanbase on YouTube, the Slovak-born internet star hasn’t posted since March 2022, and subscribers are curious why his channel has been left without any updates for so long.

So where is David Dobrik and what is he up to now? Here’s everything we know about it.

What happened to David Dobrik?

It seems like the 27-year-old may have shifted focus from posting to his YouTube channel to completely other endeavors.

Dobrik geared up for the launch of his pizza business ‘Doughbrik’s‘ which launched on November 12, 2022.

He also claimed he had been taste-testing pizza for “months” prior to the opening and this could be one of the main reasons he stepped back from making videos.

Even though David hasn’t been updating his YouTube channel, he has been more active on his Instagram and Snapchat and often vlogs his life on Snapchat.

His most recent Instagram post was published in November 2023 and posted in celebration of Doughbrik’s first anniversary. Most of his other posts have also been in collaboration with other companies. Although, he has also kept his 10.7 million followers updated on his life and recently posted photos from his 27th birthday party.

The YouTuber has also continued to face the fallout of injuring friend and former Vlog Squad member Jeff Wittek in a 2020 incident where the 32-year-old was injured in a crane Dobrik was piloting.

Wittek sustained severe injuries and has had several surgeries to try and save the vision in his eye. On June 22, Wittek filed a lawsuit against The Vlog Squad leader alleging $10 million in damages, as well as publicly denouncing their friendship and labeling him a “scumbag.”

The Doughbrik’s owner has also had to handle the public sexual assault allegations against former Vlog Squad member Dominykas ‘Durte Dom’ Zeglaitis.

After the allegations surfaced, all of Dobrik’s YouTube channels were demonetized by the platform, and he lost multiple sponsorships. However, after stepping back from the platform, he made a successful return in mid-2021 that saw him launch back into the spotlight.

Although his channel is still massively popular, David hasn’t posted in quite some time, and fans are wondering when he’ll finally make a big comeback.
