Overview
The video examines how former Vlog Squad members’ lives and careers diverged after their time around David Dobrik. Their paths range from mainstream entertainment and business ventures to online controversy and personal setbacks.
Where They Are Now
-
Liza Koshy rose to fame on YouTube and became a familiar face in David’s vlogs while they were dating. After their breakup, she stepped back from YouTube to pursue acting and hosting, including an Emmy-nominated Nickelodeon game show. She now hopes to write for and appear on Saturday Night Live.
-
Alex Ernst, David’s childhood friend, became known for his dry humor but appeared less often from 2019 onward. The video says he now posts vlogs about ordinary life while holding a regular job and keeping a lower profile than many former castmates.
-
BigNik (Nick Keswani) later described the group as an unhealthy and draining environment. He turned toward Christian content and ministry, though some of his views on feminism and vaccines have made him a controversial online figure.
-
Jason Nash, a comedian and former co-host of David’s Views podcast, struggled to find a new direction after the group’s breakup. The video portrays him relying on long TikTok livestreams and gift-based challenges for income, a shift that has drawn jokes and criticism.
-
Corinna Kopf built a sizable audience through the vlogs, Twitch, and OnlyFans. The video highlights her reported success on the platform, including a claim that she made $1 million on her first day. It also notes that she has talked about gradually stepping away despite the income.
-
Jeff Wittek suffered severe injuries during an excavator stunt filmed with David. He documented the incident in Don’t Try This at Home, later publicly criticized David’s account of what happened, and filed a $10 million lawsuit. He has continued building his own brand through a barbershop, podcast, and other ventures.
-
Dirty Dom (Dom Zeglaitis) was removed from the group after a woman accused him of sexual assault connected to a night filmed for a vlog. Other women also accused him of creepy behavior. He apologized and later tried to reinvent himself with motivational content, but the video says the rebrand was widely mocked.
-
Gabbie Hanna left the group to focus on her own career but became embroiled in repeated controversies. After posting extensively during a period she later described as manic, she took a break from social media, returned with a song about her absence, and continued to face backlash over later comments.
