In the nearly 40-minute-long podcast episode, Dobrik revealed he is “content” with the videos he has created and is open to exploring different interests aside from vlogging. When asked if he wanted to give up YouTube, he said:

“Um- yeah, somewhat, not. I don’t know — I kind of do, kind of don’t. I feel like I’ve done it. I don’t know how I can answer this in the sweetest way possible. There are different days when I do and different days that I don’t.”

The controversial creator added:

“I’m so happy with the videos I’ve created, and I’ve made so many of them, where I’ve completed everything. I wanted to finish on YouTube. Like, I’m really content with those videos, and that’s it. And I do want to put a bow on it and wrap it up and be like next thing, what else can I do? Can I go fishing?”

The Slovakia-born YouTuber said he is “not in the same mindset” he was before where “it was like full blow f**king happiness” to create more videos for his channel.

He also shared his pet peeves about the questions he has been asked about his job:

“My least favorite question was when people would come up to me and then go, ‘what’s the real David like?’ And I’d be like ‘get the f**k outta here,’ and I’d be like this is it, this is what you’re getting. It’s like ‘the YouTube videos, it’s not all real,’ and I’d be like ‘yeah neither is a f**king film or TV show,’ like the process of making it is real to me and is so fun.”

The 25-year-old has been under fire since former Vlog Squad member Jeff Wittek’s eye injury, which the former caused. The s**ual assault allegations against David Dobrik’s former friend Dom Zeglaitis added fuel to the fire.

Fellow YouTuber Casey Neistat released the documentary Under The Influence on Dobrik, which has increased the rage against him. These can possibly be reasons for the internet personality calling his job quits.
