"Is he gonna feed his friends to them?": David Dobrik set to have his own Discovery+ show called "Sharkbait," and the internet is not happy

On June 28th, David Dobrik shared a video on his Instagram story where he announced he was shooting with Discovery for their "Shark Week." While many netizens were unhappy with the news, Discovery Channel went forward with their internet celebrity host.

Now, it appears that Discovery Channel plans to keep Dobrik as a host for their Discovery+ application titled "Sharkbait." But this announcement has not been met with positivity.

For context, social media users have attempted to keep David Dobrik from returning after allegations against him and co-creator Jason Nash came forward from former Vlog Squad member Seth Francois.

Other former Vlog Squad members attempted to explain and defend the online sensation but ended up failing. Along with Dobrik's attempts at apologizing for the situation, this incident led Dobrik to take a long hiatus.

Netizens react to recent David Dobrik news

The news was shared through Discovery Channel's email service and has added the 24-year-old's show to its weekly television schedule. The screenshot was posted on Twitter by defnoodles and was met with responses from unhappy users.

Many users have threatened to unsubscribe from Discovery Channel's television app after this announcement.

Overall, users were not pleased with Dobrik continuing to have a platform after his allegations. Many users, however, began referencing David Dobrik using his friends for dangerous stunts after he previously used them in his YouTube vlogs.

Specifically, one user stated, "men get everything we didn't ask for." Another stated that the Slovakia-born star would possibly bait girls for Dominykas Zeglaitis, a friend of the YouTuber who was also accused of assaulting young women.

A third user stated that David Dobrik should not have future jobs for almost killing Jeff Wittek, another former Vlog Squad extra.

Let me guess, he’s going to be swinging sharks around at his friends with cranes that he’s not certified to use now? Or are we gonna take a step up and just see David straight up using his friends as big chompy fishy food?🤦🏻‍♀️
