YouTuber David Dobrik found himself the center of controversy over the last few weeks after accusations of toxic behavior by former members of Dobrik’s group, the Vlog Squad. These accusations ranged from fostering a toxic work environment to sexually inappropriate behavior towards former members of the Vlog Squad which Dobrik has since issued public apologies for. These apologies have been met with blowback, with fellowYouTuber PewDiePieoffering his own thoughts about Dobrik’s statement.

Since Dobrik issued his second apology,YouTubedemontized all of his channels while Dobrik remains silent on all other social media platforms. Content continues to be uploaded to Facebook, though Kjellberg said it was likely “some company” posting finished content with no input from Dobrik.
The accusations don’t appear to be slowing down, either, as more alleged victims of Dobrik continue coming forward or contacting other social media personalities to share their stories. Multiple accusations include Dobrik’s right-hand man Jason Nash and former squad member Durte Dom, both of whom are accused of sexual assault and rape.
Despite the windfall hitting Dobrik, it would not be surprising to see the controversial YouTuber return to the platform at some point. PewDiePie asserted this much, saying he was “sure he’ll be back.” The question is whether or not Dobrik will be welcomed back onto the platform when he does return.
The aforementionedLogan Paul was seemingly welcomed backon the platform, though not with several hits to his public image. He and his brother Jake have since parleyed this into a successful boxing careers while rebuilding their presence on YouTube.
However, the Paul’s are just one example and there are others who have not rebounded from their respective controversies. Shane Dawson has remained largely silent on social media and hasn’t posted a new video to his YouTube channel since his apology video August 10, 2025, for his use of racial slurs and blackface, among other controversies.
