The squad feels they would be nothing without David BUT David would be nothing without THEM. Of course he owes them a car and trips, they worked for free.
He pays them, what are you talking about? Anyone regularly in his vlogs is 99% of the time getting paid. No one is questioning his generosity with money. They are questioning his care for his friends and those under his employment
@@fionamarcotte2810 David is the one who directs 90% of what they do, they have their own channels, none of which are super successful. David is the glue that hold them together, but hes also the hammer that breaks their bones 😅
They honestly wouldn’t. And that sounds mean but is anyone doing successful without David? Because David sure seemed pretty successful without them around
it makes me sad that in the still of corrina getting upset and walking away everyone is laughing at her except nick, who definitely knows what its like to be on the receiving end of david's shit
How did Niestat get to release this film!? I mean, didn't he need Davids consent to use the footage? I wonder what kind of contact David signed that allowed Neistate full creative control and rights over all the footage? David must have just REALLY TRUSTED Neistate to allow him to do whatever he wanted with the film but I'm just wondering what legal framework Neistat established to prevented David from objecting the film's direction/narrative or release.
@@jaedynreichert both sides? David jeopardized his friends life for clicks and views, but Jeff is at fault for trusting his friend to not hurt him? ur reasoning is so very sound
@@squirrelgod598 Jeff is at fault for getting on the dam thing in the first place David is not a licensed operator of that machine if you get in car with an unlicensed driver and get on the freeway and get hurt you knew they couldnt drive so yeah your at fault for getting in the car
@@antallen6741 that analogy doesn't really work unless the driver of the car has some power over you, like they're your boss and they have given you a bunch of stuff and if you don't get in the car you risk losing your job and your friends and being blacklisted
@@antallen6741 lmao that’s not how it works?? If I or you were in the passenger seat of a drunk drivers car and were hurt, no matter how we ended up there, the driver will always be at fault for their negligence. Any adult knows that operating heavy machinery without training/license/under the influence can and probably will result in death/injury and criminal charges. It’s not hard to understand. A court and jury of adults would never come to the conclusion that a victim is to blame for someone else’s gross negligence. If that’s not clicking then idk what to tell you
Jeebus! Casey should do an 8 part series, make some of the episodes more than an hour and give us the 12 hour cut. When I hear that for so many doco's I always think "oh wow, there is like 3 or more different documentaries than the one that is for public release". And they'll never see the light of day for maybe a good reason but idc...I WANNA SEE THEM!! haha
I mean, that's pretty normal for most docs and even movies. Dozens or even hundreds of hours have to be filmed in order to get a perfect 2 hours out of it.
Heath and Zane don't claim to owe David for their success... they were WAY more popular on Vine than David was, David was actually a fan of THEM. not the other way around.
On their podcast they do. They talk about how they were dirt broke and living paycheck to paycheck until David’s videos gave them exposure which prompted them to make their own TH-cam channels
@@Jvideowatcher I feel like heath has changed now, but zane has never been very ambitious. They definitely had the potential but they seemingly needed someone to lead them to it. They could've been successful without David, their personalities are the reason David got views
David's comments about the insider article are actually disgusting. This woman came forward with her experience to a news outlet and they published it with her permission and told HER story. His saying the article didn't care about the victims is really rich coming from the person who fed them alcohol and left them with a predator.
(Read below) He didnt know Dom was a predator, dont condemn David for that if you arent condeming everyone who was in that room. Theres much more that can actually be proven he had something to do with. To clarify because people down below are lying about what i clarified, i do NOT think David is innocent. I think he had a major part in what went down and he needs to be held accountable, as does everyone involved, especially the one who did it. I do NOT believe he actively knew an SA was happening I have not at any point shamed the victims or claimed they are lying, except seth with his situation, which i posted proof in multiple threads about. David 100% is responsible for what happened to Jeff, Jonah, etc. And needs to be held accountable for his actions Read everything commented after this to see how looney some of these people are 😅🤣
@@apollomommy7364 he literally was friends with a guy who’s persona is being “dirty”/“creepy” towards women…they made SA jokes all the time…I highly doubt they didn’t have some sort of inclination that this dude was disgusting. He literally goes by dirty dom on the internet 💀
@@malenarroyo4355 and thats a kid David grew up with and likely didnt belive was capable of going that far, which he flat out says. Its hard to accuse your friends That being said, he was responsible for the guests there, as that was a place in David's name. He should have thought more about their safety, but with all the guys and girls there doing what ever they wanted, typical for a hollywood party, and he probably didnt think too much on it. He needs to be held accountable for his negligence. But people are here talking like he had a direct hand in this, like he told dom to do it or knew in the moment how bad it was, which isnt the case.
@Juso you're right. This isn't some kdrama, but David has shown time and time again that he has no regard for the well-being of his friends or anybody for that matter. He shows no true empathy or even an understanding of what he's done.
I wouldn’t stretch it that far. Remember when everyone started calling Jake Paul a sociopath because of Shane Dawson? Jake Paul isn’t a sociopath. I know a lot of guys like David, and they’re not sociopaths. Although, I think he should own up to his problematic actions.
My biggest issue with David is, how tf can you make your friends do stunts and activities that HE doesn’t even feel safe enough doing. He doesn’t do shit besides film, it’s always his friends taking the risks. So fucked up and that says enough right there.
To follow up with Juso's reply. It was Jeff's idea and he was on an adrenaline high to do that stunt. Not blaming Jeff but people don't realize they're both at faults
Lmaoo he makes his friends take his own luggage. He literally treats everyone like a fucking slave. How do they even hang out with him? I would have left his stupid luggage at the fucking airport if he did that to me!
No one is holding a gun to anyone’s head they are all grown ass adults making the decisions to do these things. I’m not defending anyone but like I said all these people are grown ups and making the choices to do these things.
You are an adult, right? Can you force any of your friends to do something for money? I would be willing to bet not. If there is something I don't feel comfortable doing, I'm not going to do it. I'm not interested in fame or money to do something dangerous or uncomfortable. Not for any of my friends! You have the ability to say "no" as an adult.
Okay but how many times do we all have to collectively realize David has a cult following and will do anything to keep them. As much as I like that Casey is doing this, it’s like do we not all already know? Lmao. We’ve been having this conversation for years.
Yeah I guess you’re right. I just feel like as more comes out about David like are we really surprised? Like I said it’s still good Casey’s doing this so we can have the whole picture but at the same time it’s a little anti climatic at this point lol
I think it feels this way because he intended on it being a different documentary but because all this came out he had to include it and obviously we saw it unfold in real time so it feels outdated. I think he meant to make something to show people who don’t know what a TH-camr is what it’s like to be a famous TH-camr. But then it turned into this.
@@SpillSesh It honestly sounds like a well-done & fair documentary. This will likely get picked up fairly quickly if all the paperwork is in order for it.
Thank you for covering this so thoroughly. I'm very happy that Casey made this. He was actually friends with David before this, so he definitely came into this project with a different idea than what he ended up with. In MY opinion he is as unbiased as possible in his videos , so I can't wait to be able to watch this. The cult like behaviors and power dynamics in a celebrity / "friend " relationship are always very intriguing to me and a lot of people . Anyone interested in behavioral psychology will probably love this film when it finally becomes public.
I feel so bad for Corinna because I feel like she's coerced into a lot of sexual things for the vlogs and that could end up being traumatizing for her, once she processes it
It honestly could be a huge reason she does onlyfans. Someone who has been overly sexualized from a young age tend to become hyper sexual and are more likely to get into sex work. I am not knocking only fans at all, it’s a great gig, but it’s true. I wonder how Dom treated Corinna when they were younger.
Definitely- she will be preyed upon by other “men” for life due to t he trauma- what they talked about here is really gross- like a girl with nowhere to go (stuck on an airplane) being coerced to get naked by all the other ppl there?!? 🤮🤮🤮🤮 that’s some real horrid behavior (o assume she got naked- when she should’ve gone up to each one of them and given them each a swift kick in the balls and pepper spray to the face)
It really rubs me the wrong way just how often David says "I just want to show the happy parts; I just want to produce content that's happy." It gives me the whole "I am such an empath" Shane Dawson vibes.
@@jakestroll6518 trashing them doesn’t redeem David. Regardless of if they should’ve said no, David never should’ve asked. He clearly doesn’t give a shit about his “friends’” safety
Nobody was going to drug them, but you need to understand that people knew how dangerous it was yet agreed to participate in it just to have exerts seconds in the blog. David was described as a “childish adult”, “lucky TH-camr” etc No stunt was doing with safety, you can clearly see that in vlogs. Sorry not sorry, but this is a situation two sides were involved in. Unfortunately, with consequences
the crazy thing to me is that davids views are based off his friends having fun personalities. Then, all these people say that they wouldn't be known at all "if it wasn't for David". I don't think they realize that's not true. People watched David for them, and they haven't realized that they are the ones that actually made David famous. David would be nothing without them, while they honestly could've gotten some recognition without David. Zane and Heath, for example, were already known on vine. They could've worked on a TH-cam channel and people would've liked them regardless
Exactly, I still watch zane n heath and only started watching davids vlogs for those two and jeff. I quit watching the vlogs a long time ago and only wanted to watch content where people showed themselves more authentically.
You can tell that after everything that has happened.. the sexual assault and Jeff's accident, that David still does not think he was responsible for anything. I know the internet throws around the word sociopath a lot, but if the shoe fits..
It was not included at all. Phil defranco said when Casey was asked about it he said there’s apparently a 12 hour version, but for this doc he only included two stories.
If David really thought the rope would just stop swinging when he stopped the excavator all of a sudden then he is really stupid. It’s basic science you learn in grade school and throughout high school as well. I think ppl he’s friends with or has been friends with are just trying to continue to make excuses for him.
I think he might have legitimately panicked and made a fight or flight decision to just stop the whole thing. However, that doesnt absolve him of putting his friends in dangerous positions and shouldnt have moved the rope so fast in the first place
Except he never physically stopped it. Excavators have an automatic mechanism that stops it from rotating too fast & nobody there knew that. That’s what made the excavator halt like that.
@@mayaw.4013 in Jeff’s podcast where he addresses David’s podcast he mentioned that it wasn’t true that the excavator stopped on its own and that was just something they said to help David not look as bad.
I asked Emily D Baker today about legal issues and she did say that Jeff has a case against David civilly. she doesn’t know why this wasn’t reported at the hospital originally as a horrific accident that needed investigation? a police report should have been filed in the first place! i’m shocked also! didn’t they call an ambulance? or were they so negligent that they actually decided they would try and cover up david’s awful mistakes above jeff’s actual life and bring him to the hospital themselves, while he maybe dying? like what the actual F**K? I’M so confused 🤔 And still… what did they say at the hospital? so many questions… Jeff needs a good lawyer and David needs to just get off of TH-cam!!!
ok this is actually a really good point how the hospital didn’t do an investigation of their own or even the state of Utah. i hope jeff’s wins his case and maybe in the case it will say what they told the hospital
I think in Jeffs docu series, they mentioned how they took Jeff to the hospital in a car/taxi. Cant remember exactly where I heard it. Im sure it was Jeffs docu series though. They didnt call an ambulance, they took Jeff to the hospital in a car. I hope that answers your question
@@lizzyrose793 why would the hospital investigate that...? If he got shot then they're obligated to notify the police and then they would take over. Lol it isn't the hospital's job to conduct an investigation for an accident...
@@frogdrug8282 Although it is very much wrong to not call any authorities and I really dislike David, I think it might have worked out for the better in this situation because waiting for an ambulance to arrive and transport him to the hospital could’ve turned out even worse considering Jeff had his head bashed in. Again, I am not defending anything David did, just saying that time might have played a big factor in them driving him to the hospital themselves. Of course I wasn’t there, so I really don’t know 🤷🏻♀️
I actually grew up with Casey and went to high school with him... I'm amazed at the fame and talent he has attained since those days back when we were at high school keg parties. I can't wait to see the doc, no one makes a documentary like Casey. His style is unique and all his own. I have so much respect for the man he turned out to be 😎
I highly doubt that David was panicking trying to stop the excavator, he probably loved every second of being in control in that moment. There’s a reason he himself wasn’t ever the one swinging from the rope.
EXACTLY... he’s just a little psycho who loves torturing ppl or making them do dangerous/stupid stuff while being in control.... reminds me of the playboy doc when some of the women talk about hef and him “directing” a lot of sick 💩 that happened in the mansion
Because you were right there beside him right? No one knows what was going through David’s head except for David and I highly doubt he was like YEA LET ME MAKE THIS THING GO FASTER SO I CAN SERIOUSLY HURT/ALMOST KILL A FRIEND OF MINE. That’s literally the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard cause no one would ever do that. Also Jeff choose to get on the rope and swing, no one forced him to do that & he could have very easily have said NO but he didn’t and now he along with David have to live with the consequences of their actions. Lastly Jeff needs to stop blaming everyone else for his fucking issues/problems & start taking responsibility for his own actions as well as David to.
@@hopelovepeace25 You don't seem to get how abusive situations work. This is like saying "Why don't women just leave their abusive husbands?" as if there aren't societal and monetary reasons someone might be inclined to keep their mouths shut and do what they're expected to do, lest they go hungry or end up on the street. There's also social conditioning to take into account, as well. David was clearly the man in power here, and often people in positions like that get drunk off the idea that they can do anything they want and consequences don't apply to them. That's why they abuse and take advantage of people in the first place. That being said, I don't PERSONALLY think David did this, but it's always a possibility. The fact that he wouldn't do the stunts he signed his friends up for really says a lot imo.
@@hopelovepeace25 so if you're a passenger of a car and the driver gets you into a near death crash, are you accountable for the accident because you agreed to sit in the car or is it the drivers fault
Seriously!! Booooooo!!!!!!!! It seems like his high point has passed now. He is not as popular as he once was. He still has a huge fan base but people are moving on to other creators now.
@@marissa3610 I would think not since his fan base is mostly made up of pre teens and teens. They will forgive easily since in their eyes David can’t do any wrong
He didnt expose anything tho? Literally everything in there we already knew about, and theres a lot he never even mentions. He doesnt interview pretty much anyone involved in everything over the years, not Seth, not Jonah, not Liza, not Jeff, etc. And during the documentary they stopped talking right when things were getting really crazy for David, so theres a lot of stuff he has no input on besides speculation. I think its a joke and i stand by Def Noodles calling it out for being the terrible doc it is. There was so much potential and it was a flop
I agree. He could’ve gone deeper since there’s a lot of skeletons in Davids closet. But I think it was a start on how David’s Stans didn’t believe it until they saw it and even then they’re in denial.
This was a really good breakdown. Thank you for taking one for the team. 👏🏽 Im really hoping it gets the distribution it needs so the rest of us get an opportunity to see it first hand.
David is very immature. Like how he says he feels like people think he's a villian or something is such a childish way to see it. I don't think he purposely tried to hurt Jeff. He got carried away and excited and didn't think any of the stunts through. They should've been wayyy more prepared specially if they were doing such crazy stunts! And this blame game is making it even worse. He needs to take accountability for his actions. And obviously he should've been a good friend to Jeff. He's not a villian he's a coward.
While I understand the criticisms of Casey, I think people are forgetting that he has his own brand, his own audience, his own style of presenting his content. Coverage of an event or issue doesn't need to be brand new, never before heard information to be good coverage, it just needs to be delivered well and in a new way. Sounds to me he did that, someone who knows nothing of David would watch this and understand why people are so invested in the subject. TH-cam has been exempt from so many media laws until recent years because it's such a grey area between work and personal, I haven't gotten to watch it yet (don't know where I can?) but I'd like to, because it sounds like he managed to let the story speak for itself. Almost like, it's not about David as a person and any judgement calls on that, but whether or not that matters for someone in a position of power, like David, and whether or not we should excuse it. Like, it's not about him being a shitty friend to Jeff, it's about the fact that it was a workplace injury and transparency about policy and what he plans to do to prevent it in the future, owning up and compensating. (Instead he just seems like he doesn't care, shit like that makes me really wonder why Liza left. Mainstream media had no issues welcoming her with open arms.) David hasn't just been a lame friend, he's been a bad boss, hiding behind that and pretending none of his business moves were business. Someone David's size in success, I feel like any stunt like that should have the same liabilities any other TV or movie set would.
It’s so disheartening that certain people would sell their soul and do whatever lengths needed to go for fame, attention, money, and control. For myself, no price is worth the cost.
I don’t know how he could considering he isn’t making money from the SXSW viewing and that cost $500 a person to view. So I doubt he will profit from anything.
@@rachaeljones4731 well i would assume that when casey asked david to film he wasn’t gonna do it for free…i would be shocked if he actually didn’t ask for money. i’m also not surprised that david isn’t talking to casey anymore and i’m sure it’s bc he doesn’t like the doc
@vaughn you’re the one spreading false propaganda and statements here, I see you posting sht in many comments saying weird sht, did David dobrik paid you to comment ?🤡
34 seconds is the earliest I’ve been to watch your videos!! 😱🥰 Thank you for consistently entertaining me whenever I have some downtime 😌 Keep up the good work 😊
I used to be an huge David fan, and let me just say the vlogs I enjoyed the most were never the ones with the fancy cars or the trips or even ppl getting hurt. It was literally when he would just walk around LA with Alex and hang out at Zane and Heaths house. He really let the fame go to his head, all of them did :(
@vaughn never said he was different, I just said I used to enjoy the vlogs better when they were simple and just him and his friends. He’s always been power/money hungry, but before he had power and money his vlogs were really entertaining in my opinion
I am so proud of not watching 1 of David's videos. The only reason I know anything about this is from this channel and the insider article. I will never watch any of his material. Ever!
Casey could of done so much more with that doc….he really didn’t go as hard on the rape allegations with Dom and that to me was disappointing. He didn’t interview even half of the people he should of but he made it that way to reach a broader audience. I get his side but he could of interviewed more people
he didnt go hard on the rape allegations w dom because it wasnt a documentary about dom, it was abt david and his experience. im not saying he shouldn't have added more in the doc because he totally should have but i feel like he was focused on david more than anyone else
honestly the only ppl I enjoy watching in the vlog squad are zayn and Heath! I think they're really entertaining! I used to look up their compilations on ytb instead of watching davids vlogs for their bits. Thank god they're doing their own thing now on their podcast
LMFAO!! David never “gave” anyone who actually needed anything a damn thing! He gave these cars and money to his friends, assistants, friends of friends. It’s not like he was out on skid row helping the homeless. It’s amazing how blind people are.
David has paid off student loan debt for strangers, given laptops to college and high school kids, and has helped homeless people, including a now famous one, get off the street. David has done some bad things he needs to be held accountable for but dont spread false narratives, that only takes away from the victims because the more lies you spread, the less people believe the victims
@@apollomommy7364 first off read, if you read my comment ain’t no one taking any attention away from David’s victim’s. Since you also know he’s done all this charity work to people who actually need it. I’d like to a follow up video on these things, lol, anyone can do anything on camera Just like how he promised to take of Jeff’s bills And stopped. Lol just cause it’s on camera doesn’t mean it actually happened. Unless it was someone in his inner circle l, he never gave a damn thing to anyone in actual need Lol wake your blind ass up
I looooooove how you started covering stories with a more in-depth take! Your videos became even more entertaining to me and just as informative. Hats off to you on this one! 👏👏👏
I feel like this kind of further proves Emma chamberlains view on youtube about how people would just use each other to further their own careers. It's sad, and some people will say thats the business side of being a youtube mainly an up incoming one or one thats already been established. But that's not justification for risking one's safety point blank, period. David should have learned this when jonah nearly smashed his head on the edge of a pool with a scooter or even with the flame thrower. Instead, he exhibited reckless behavior throughout his youtube career and never took accountability for it, nor has he taken responsibility for risking his friends' livelihoods. It's also amusing because he can point the finger at everyone else, but he doesn't know how to act appropriately when it's on him. Also, the over-sexualization of Corinna like yeah, she does onlyfans, and yeah, she may be a super sexual person IRL, but that doesn't give them the right to use that as a gateway to have a bit in the vlog. It's disgusting and kind of desperate, in my opinion. Another thing that pissed me off was his comments about the insider article. You say you don't want to victim blame, but here you are, victim, blaming her for going to insider disclosing her story all because you think the website wants clicks. No offense, but if David didn't use his friends for content with the extreme lengths that he goes to, half of the stuff that happened might not have actually happened as a lot of these things could have been prevented if David truly cared about others. Cause the only act of caring he does is buying his friends cars or giving them money which yeah, thats nice, but at the same time, it's all about content with him to make it look like he is an excellent person to blind us from the reality of whats actually going on.
For years people have always said how good of a person David was by buying his friends cars, trips, etc. but now I’m just seeing a master manipulator. Of course his “friends” would go out of their way to do these stunts or do things they didn’t want to because look at what David did for them, look at what he gave them! “David just bought me my dream car, Super Bowl tickets, etc. am I really going to tell him no right now?” Everyone can say that these people were grown adults with their own autonomy, which is true, but can adults not get manipulated? The entire Internet was manipulated by David’s image; his friends aren’t immune because their adults. You have this person that over the years has cultivated this environment to where you can’t say no/are pressured to say yes & the gifts and trips that you receive are incentives for your behavior to continue. If this was a 1-1 relationship, everyone would be yelling toxicity & for the other person to run but does that somehow disappear when it’s a group of people? Thanks for breaking down the documentary!
@@bumblebeee2696 the film was a part of the South by Southwest film festival. There's no way to watch it online unless you pay for a ticket to the festival.
Does it matter - because he just keeps making videos & people just keep watching. Look at Shane Dawson - he is right back getting praise & views. Look at Jeffree Star or James. Charles - anyone who should get hated on & deserves to lose their platform just lays low & shows back up with a brand change like they are born again. Then the people like Jenna Marbles, with genuine conscious & morals gives up her platform for something that was insensitive, but would have been overlooked eventually - all because she genuinely feels bad & sorry. This is the huge difference in the types of famous internet people. But it's so hard to tell which ones are genuine until you watch someone get canceled. David isn't sorry. David doesn't feel bad. David is a narcissist, maybe even a psychopath. He is literally a cult leader. I still wouldn't be surprised if he kills someone while trying to get his fame back.
bottom line, david deserved to be held accountable for the whole situation with dom. he filmed, edited, and produced the video. not only did he allow the behavior to happen but he literally filmed it. so yeah he’s gonna be a big part of the article because the literal proof of it happening is in HIS video. while david might not do these bad things, he enables this kind of reckless behavior yet feels like he shouldn’t face consequences for it? just because he has money and power shouldn’t make him not have to be held accountable.
The way we're sleeping on the fact he literally got his "colleague" bit by a snake and wasn't exactly in a hurry to get it off, even laughed while he bled
Wow I didn’t even know that. This is the thing: for these three, four, five incidents that we know about, there are countless others we don’t… it’s so concerning
@@beckthter jason consented and there was an animal handl8ng specialist there, and they did it in the handlers business, they paid to do it and jason got paid for it and agreed to it
@@apollomommy7364 third it's a weird ask in the first place, "hey lemme take you to an animal place, find the "meanest" one, and have it bite you" plus in this supposed 'paid gig' what were the limits? That snake was on there for at least 10/15 seconds and the handler was laughing too
Jeff did forgive him though.. he just rescinded the forgiveness when he didn't get the love and care he expected (which is understandable to end a friendship but he did forgive him initially)
Wait i’m confused bc after the Jeff accident came out, it seemed like they werent friends anymore. Then when David started the vlogs again, Jeff has showed up so I assumed they reconciled but I’ve stopped keeping up with it. Are they on good terms now or no more?
@@pinkblueberryyy They aren't friends anymore. (Jeff said that since injury their friendship died, bc David wasn't a good friend or even a good person regarding his injury. But he also explains that he just was trying to keep being loyal😞)
Forgiveness is unconditional and irrevocable. Not to release your friend but to give YOURSELF peace. Jeff hasn't truly forgiven him and he's just stuck in bitterness
@@jakestroll6518 whatttt🤣 is not unconditional. If i hit you and say sorry, and you forgive me even i should never put my hands in you, and you going out of your way to forgive me And then i say "no, i never hit you. You understood that wrong" thenn the apology is meaningless dude🤣🤣
Like.. Jeff didn't give him permission to attempt 3rd degree murder just because he wanted a few more takes It's so crazy that David would try to equate "let's keep filming" with "I'm going to behave in a wildly inappropriate manner without consulting anyone first that resulted in someone almost dying"
He was grossly reckless. He is living in his mansion while Jeff he been disabled with his eye and surgeries and still cries victim all during his views podcast discussing it.
Honestly in the beginning when I first started watching David a long time ago I woulve never thought any of this would happen and I definitely didint see him as the horrible person he’s coming out to be now but I think that all the crazy unique things and the gifts and wonderful moments every now and then definitely made me over look the bad parts of it
To think, if it weren't for that incident with Jeff, David would've never been exposed. The worrisome thing is, regardless of him being exposed, once people rise to that level, it's very rare that they lose their status because enough people will still watch and promote them. Enough people's entertainment becomes more important than moral.
I think David struggles to understand that even if this was an accident, that doesn't automatically excuse everything. The fact of the matter is he was doing very dangerous stunts very carelessly and without the right amount of precaution, and this entire situation with Jeff shows how bad things can get. David wants to be 'fun' and I get that, but at the end of the day someone got very hurt and could have very well died doing this stunt that he was responsible for, and he needs to take more accountability. David keeps saying he 'blames himself BUT..." There's always an excuse that follows like 'jeff sent me this dm' or 'jeff was the one who wanted to do it.' It's as if he (David) is trying to shift blame and that to me is one of the biggest problems. But I think the documentary was right to end with the clown music as if to allude to the fact that nothing has changed and David is back to his crazy ways because that's the truth, and I think it's important that people realize the danger of David returning to youtube.
from the jump i never got into david’s videos. his laughed and the way he acted always annoyed tf out of me and never seemed sincere. just proves to always follow that gut instinct with people!!
If you're looking for accountability, which I was- this documentary turned out, surprisingly- to be a washout. It was so hyped up. I was expecting so much more truth and that Casey was the one who would bring it to us, and none of us could wait to see David Dobrik's story laid out bare. But it definitely was not that. It missed on so many levels. Casey looked like he was trying to please both parties, and in the process, dropped the ball for the money. The thing is Jeff is not surrounding himself with good people right now, and he has had a TBI - a Traumatic Brain Injury... which affects his cognitive thinking. He needs sound, loyal, intelligent counsel around him, or DD is going to lie his way out of this mess as well. Dobrik does not believe himself capable of being responsible for any negative actions. End of story.
Casey did say there were nearly 20 hours of unused footage and that he had to try and fit it all in a movie, so there's probably more damaging stuff in that editing room.
Good for Casey, I’m sure he was threatened for planning on releasing the film. But this needed to come out, and I’m more than sure this is only the beginning. Some of these creators have really gone too far with power.
Ive always hated how they said they owed David for their careers…it’s like how? He was never in it it was always them doing the stunts they were what people were watching for david owes them for his success
I understand that some of the things he has been a part of weren't great life choices, however, we are not talking about children. These are grown adults in his vlogs with the ability to make their own decisions. Idk why that because they are in his video that he is the sole person blamed for when things his friends do go wrong.
The squad feels they would be nothing without David BUT David would be nothing without THEM. Of course he owes them a car and trips, they worked for free.
Nah fr... They could litteraly just make content together and leave David out of it and what can he do? No excuses
He pays them, what are you talking about? Anyone regularly in his vlogs is 99% of the time getting paid. No one is questioning his generosity with money. They are questioning his care for his friends and those under his employment
@@fionamarcotte2810 David is the one who directs 90% of what they do, they have their own channels, none of which are super successful. David is the glue that hold them together, but hes also the hammer that breaks their bones 😅
They honestly wouldn’t. And that sounds mean but is anyone doing successful without David? Because David sure seemed pretty successful without them around
@@fionamarcotte2810 apolloMommy is coming after us, girl! lol Gotta love David Dodick stans.
it makes me sad that in the still of corrina getting upset and walking away everyone is laughing at her except nick, who definitely knows what its like to be on the receiving end of david's shit
How did Niestat get to release this film!?
I mean, didn't he need Davids consent to use the footage?
I wonder what kind of contact David signed that allowed Neistate full creative control and rights over all the footage?
David must have just REALLY TRUSTED Neistate to allow him to do whatever he wanted with the film but I'm just wondering what legal framework Neistat established to prevented David from objecting the film's direction/narrative or release.
Okay yes BUT we aren’t going to eclipse the fact that nick is also a POS.
It always bothered me how David only called Jonah, makes me wonder if ever saw him as a person?? just a character in his show, it’s sad :(
@@loisvillarreal5277
What does POS stand for?
@@bloopbloop1917 it means “piece of shit”
David will never own up to his actions . He honestly shouldn’t have platform.
He did own up tho did u watch his new podcast it seems messed up on both sides
@@jaedynreichert both sides? David jeopardized his friends life for clicks and views, but Jeff is at fault for trusting his friend to not hurt him? ur reasoning is so very sound
@@squirrelgod598 Jeff is at fault for getting on the dam thing in the first place David is not a licensed operator of that machine if you get in car with an unlicensed driver and get on the freeway and get hurt you knew they couldnt drive so yeah your at fault for getting in the car
@@antallen6741 that analogy doesn't really work unless the driver of the car has some power over you, like they're your boss and they have given you a bunch of stuff and if you don't get in the car you risk losing your job and your friends and being blacklisted
@@antallen6741 lmao that’s not how it works?? If I or you were in the passenger seat of a drunk drivers car and were hurt, no matter how we ended up there, the driver will always be at fault for their negligence. Any adult knows that operating heavy machinery without training/license/under the influence can and probably will result in death/injury and criminal charges. It’s not hard to understand. A court and jury of adults would never come to the conclusion that a victim is to blame for someone else’s gross negligence. If that’s not clicking then idk what to tell you
Phillip DeFranco mentioned that Casey said there’s a 12 hour cut. Imagine all the shit there’s in that cut 😮💨
insane
Jeebus! Casey should do an 8 part series, make some of the episodes more than an hour and give us the 12 hour cut. When I hear that for so many doco's I always think "oh wow, there is like 3 or more different documentaries than the one that is for public release". And they'll never see the light of day for maybe a good reason but idc...I WANNA SEE THEM!! haha
I mean, that's pretty normal for most docs and even movies. Dozens or even hundreds of hours have to be filmed in order to get a perfect 2 hours out of it.
I’m a bastarddddd yassss
12 hours?!?!?!?!?!????? omg
Heath and Zane don't claim to owe David for their success... they were WAY more popular on Vine than David was, David was actually a fan of THEM. not the other way around.
Yeah I actually knew Heath and Zane before David, I think they're hilarious, David needs other people to be funny but they shine on their own.
On their podcast they do. They talk about how they were dirt broke and living paycheck to paycheck until David’s videos gave them exposure which prompted them to make their own TH-cam channels
@@Jvideowatcher I feel like heath has changed now, but zane has never been very ambitious. They definitely had the potential but they seemingly needed someone to lead them to it. They could've been successful without David, their personalities are the reason David got views
@@DAlexa-lv6wq zane is highly ambitious, did you not see the video for his 100th vlog? Immaculate lol
@@Kaynzee fair 🤣🤣🤣 i love Zane and Heath, and Heath's gf Mariah
David's comments about the insider article are actually disgusting. This woman came forward with her experience to a news outlet and they published it with her permission and told HER story. His saying the article didn't care about the victims is really rich coming from the person who fed them alcohol and left them with a predator.
(Read below) He didnt know Dom was a predator, dont condemn David for that if you arent condeming everyone who was in that room. Theres much more that can actually be proven he had something to do with.
To clarify because people down below are lying about what i clarified, i do NOT think David is innocent. I think he had a major part in what went down and he needs to be held accountable, as does everyone involved, especially the one who did it. I do NOT believe he actively knew an SA was happening
I have not at any point shamed the victims or claimed they are lying, except seth with his situation, which i posted proof in multiple threads about.
David 100% is responsible for what happened to Jeff, Jonah, etc. And needs to be held accountable for his actions
Read everything commented after this to see how looney some of these people are 😅🤣
David is not responsible for his friends actions.
@@layliciousgaming he is responsible for taking care of fans he brings to his house lol.
@@apollomommy7364 he literally was friends with a guy who’s persona is being “dirty”/“creepy” towards women…they made SA jokes all the time…I highly doubt they didn’t have some sort of inclination that this dude was disgusting. He literally goes by dirty dom on the internet 💀
@@malenarroyo4355 and thats a kid David grew up with and likely didnt belive was capable of going that far, which he flat out says. Its hard to accuse your friends
That being said, he was responsible for the guests there, as that was a place in David's name. He should have thought more about their safety, but with all the guys and girls there doing what ever they wanted, typical for a hollywood party, and he probably didnt think too much on it. He needs to be held accountable for his negligence.
But people are here talking like he had a direct hand in this, like he told dom to do it or knew in the moment how bad it was, which isnt the case.
David seems like a literal sociopath. He isn't capable of having any empathy for anyone. I think that's scary.
I completely agree. He seems to only mirror what he thinks people WANT to see.
@Juso You can scroll along if you don't like or agree with someone's comment...
@Juso you're right. This isn't some kdrama, but David has shown time and time again that he has no regard for the well-being of his friends or anybody for that matter. He shows no true empathy or even an understanding of what he's done.
remember when trisha paytas compared him to ted bundy lol
I wouldn’t stretch it that far. Remember when everyone started calling Jake Paul a sociopath because of Shane Dawson? Jake Paul isn’t a sociopath. I know a lot of guys like David, and they’re not sociopaths. Although, I think he should own up to his problematic actions.
This was the most indepth honest with minimal opinions coverage of the documentary that I've seen. 👏👏👏
I wholeheartedly agree! 👏👏
Agreed!
Can someone pls tell me, Where can I watch the doc? Thanks
@@vt7165 it costs over $500 as part of a festival
Where can I watch it
My biggest issue with David is, how tf can you make your friends do stunts and activities that HE doesn’t even feel safe enough doing. He doesn’t do shit besides film, it’s always his friends taking the risks. So fucked up and that says enough right there.
To follow up with Juso's reply. It was Jeff's idea and he was on an adrenaline high to do that stunt. Not blaming Jeff but people don't realize they're both at faults
Lmaoo he makes his friends take his own luggage. He literally treats everyone like a fucking slave. How do they even hang out with him? I would have left his stupid luggage at the fucking airport if he did that to me!
He didn't force anyone wtf they did it for money
No one is holding a gun to anyone’s head they are all grown ass adults making the decisions to do these things. I’m not defending anyone but like I said all these people are grown ups and making the choices to do these things.
You are an adult, right? Can you force any of your friends to do something for money? I would be willing to bet not.
If there is something I don't feel comfortable doing, I'm not going to do it. I'm not interested in fame or money to do something dangerous or uncomfortable. Not for any of my friends! You have the ability to say "no" as an adult.
Okay but how many times do we all have to collectively realize David has a cult following and will do anything to keep them. As much as I like that Casey is doing this, it’s like do we not all already know? Lmao. We’ve been having this conversation for years.
yeah but you could say that about realistically *any* youtuber.
Yeah I guess you’re right. I just feel like as more comes out about David like are we really surprised? Like I said it’s still good Casey’s doing this so we can have the whole picture but at the same time it’s a little anti climatic at this point lol
I think it feels this way because he intended on it being a different documentary but because all this came out he had to include it and obviously we saw it unfold in real time so it feels outdated. I think he meant to make something to show people who don’t know what a TH-camr is what it’s like to be a famous TH-camr. But then it turned into this.
@@SpillSesh It honestly sounds like a well-done & fair documentary. This will likely get picked up fairly quickly if all the paperwork is in order for it.
Bird smit your kinda annoying stop lying girl
Thank you for covering this so thoroughly. I'm very happy that Casey made this. He was actually friends with David before this, so he definitely came into this project with a different idea than what he ended up with. In MY opinion he is as unbiased as possible in his videos , so I can't wait to be able to watch this.
The cult like behaviors and power dynamics in a celebrity / "friend " relationship are always very intriguing to me and a lot of people . Anyone interested in behavioral psychology will probably love this film when it finally becomes public.
Seems like a bit of a cash grab for Casey tbh. I like Casey a lot but that’s pretty easy math.
I feel so bad for Corinna because I feel like she's coerced into a lot of sexual things for the vlogs and that could end up being traumatizing for her, once she processes it
It honestly could be a huge reason she does onlyfans. Someone who has been overly sexualized from a young age tend to become hyper sexual and are more likely to get into sex work. I am not knocking only fans at all, it’s a great gig, but it’s true. I wonder how Dom treated Corinna when they were younger.
Definitely- she will be preyed upon by other “men” for life due to t he trauma- what they talked about here is really gross- like a girl with nowhere to go (stuck on an airplane) being coerced to get naked by all the other ppl there?!? 🤮🤮🤮🤮 that’s some real horrid behavior (o assume she got naked- when she should’ve gone up to each one of them and given them each a swift kick in the balls and pepper spray to the face)
You've got to be kidding me
Not everything is traumatizing. My gosh
@@b1k2q34 ??? what
It really rubs me the wrong way just how often David says "I just want to show the happy parts; I just want to produce content that's happy." It gives me the whole "I am such an empath" Shane Dawson vibes.
He talks about this on his podcast. It’s actually rlly fucked with him too and he’s realized the harm it’s out to his audience
Honestly - thank God Liza Koshy got away from that when she saw it started getting to be too much & really watched out for her own brand & morals.
It seemed like she got so much hate for it to...
I always think about her and the bullet she dodged
I think about the video she made with David when they were dating where they were super racist towards Asians
Apparently David was never sexually active with Liza too, another possible sociopathic traits, no intimacy or attachment
Yeah I was thinking of that. I got a weird vibe from him from the beginning
I don't understand how David doesn't see anything wrong with asking g his friends to do stunts he wouldn't ever do himself.
Right? Like when Jeff and Natalie skydived but he didn’t want to…
Hes just playing stupid to avoid admitting he sees ppl as disposable moneymakers
Just SAY NO or was there a gun to their heads? These people are just greedy. They took those risks just to get clout off appearing on his vlogs.
@@jakestroll6518 trashing them doesn’t redeem David. Regardless of if they should’ve said no, David never should’ve asked. He clearly doesn’t give a shit about his “friends’” safety
Nobody was going to drug them, but you need to understand that people knew how dangerous it was yet agreed to participate in it just to have exerts seconds in the blog. David was described as a “childish adult”, “lucky TH-camr” etc No stunt was doing with safety, you can clearly see that in vlogs. Sorry not sorry, but this is a situation two sides were involved in. Unfortunately, with consequences
the crazy thing to me is that davids views are based off his friends having fun personalities. Then, all these people say that they wouldn't be known at all "if it wasn't for David". I don't think they realize that's not true. People watched David for them, and they haven't realized that they are the ones that actually made David famous. David would be nothing without them, while they honestly could've gotten some recognition without David. Zane and Heath, for example, were already known on vine. They could've worked on a TH-cam channel and people would've liked them regardless
Exactly, I still watch zane n heath and only started watching davids vlogs for those two and jeff. I quit watching the vlogs a long time ago and only wanted to watch content where people showed themselves more authentically.
Right. I don’t think anyone actually watches for David. We watched for Jeff, Corrina, Zane, Scotty, etc…
You can tell that after everything that has happened.. the sexual assault and Jeff's accident, that David still does not think he was responsible for anything. I know the internet throws around the word sociopath a lot, but if the shoe fits..
“He doesn’t want to be made a villain” Okay but when you do villain things that’s kinda of what happens David omfg 😂
But.... my reputation 🥺🥺 yeah buddy you should've thought of that before lmaooo
I don't even think his film addressed any of the racism issues either. I heard Seth's assault and experiences weren't mentioned at all.
i feel like everyone has forgotten about Seth and his story
It was not included at all. Phil defranco said when Casey was asked about it he said there’s apparently a 12 hour version, but for this doc he only included two stories.
Seth a guy who praticapte in the prank then claimed it's SA 😂😂😂😂
@@baikeiast5255 They said he agreed to it the third time. So the first and second were SA
@@lexyruse603 it's not SA that called getting clout no matter what....seth a guy got mad when he got prank
If David really thought the rope would just stop swinging when he stopped the excavator all of a sudden then he is really stupid. It’s basic science you learn in grade school and throughout high school as well. I think ppl he’s friends with or has been friends with are just trying to continue to make excuses for him.
I think he might have legitimately panicked and made a fight or flight decision to just stop the whole thing. However, that doesnt absolve him of putting his friends in dangerous positions and shouldnt have moved the rope so fast in the first place
Except he never physically stopped it. Excavators have an automatic mechanism that stops it from rotating too fast & nobody there knew that. That’s what made the excavator halt like that.
@@mayaw.4013 in Jeff’s podcast where he addresses David’s podcast he mentioned that it wasn’t true that the excavator stopped on its own and that was just something they said to help David not look as bad.
Casey should’ve released this on TH-cam. By the time it is released by a studio, all of the info will be old news.
Yeah. I was expecting it to be posted or something right after the event
I bet he wants to be seen as a serious filmmaker, not “just” a TH-camr.
Not sure Casey isn’t being evasive about his “last time we SPOKE” bit…these gents seem to enjoy technicalities…but at this point who could care
Right, like who gives a fuck
I asked Emily D Baker today about legal issues and she did say that Jeff has a case against David civilly. she doesn’t know why this wasn’t reported at the hospital originally as a horrific accident that needed investigation? a police report should have been filed in the first place! i’m shocked also! didn’t they call an ambulance? or were they so negligent that they actually decided they would try and cover up david’s awful mistakes above jeff’s actual life and bring him to the hospital themselves, while he maybe dying? like what the actual F**K? I’M so confused 🤔 And still… what did they say at the hospital? so many questions… Jeff needs a good lawyer and David needs to just get off of TH-cam!!!
ok this is actually a really good point how the hospital didn’t do an investigation of their own or even the state of Utah. i hope jeff’s wins his case and maybe in the case it will say what they told the hospital
I think in Jeffs docu series, they mentioned how they took Jeff to the hospital in a car/taxi. Cant remember exactly where I heard it. Im sure it was Jeffs docu series though. They didnt call an ambulance, they took Jeff to the hospital in a car. I hope that answers your question
@@lizzyrose793 why would the hospital investigate that...? If he got shot then they're obligated to notify the police and then they would take over. Lol it isn't the hospital's job to conduct an investigation for an accident...
@@frogdrug8282 Although it is very much wrong to not call any authorities and I really dislike David, I think it might have worked out for the better in this situation because waiting for an ambulance to arrive and transport him to the hospital could’ve turned out even worse considering Jeff had his head bashed in. Again, I am not defending anything David did, just saying that time might have played a big factor in them driving him to the hospital themselves. Of course I wasn’t there, so I really don’t know 🤷🏻♀️
What happened to Jeff??
It would be ironic if Netflix picked it up.
I actually grew up with Casey and went to high school with him... I'm amazed at the fame and talent he has attained since those days back when we were at high school keg parties. I can't wait to see the doc, no one makes a documentary like Casey. His style is unique and all his own. I have so much respect for the man he turned out to be 😎
woah that’s sick
Stop the cap😂😂😂
I highly doubt that David was panicking trying to stop the excavator, he probably loved every second of being in control in that moment. There’s a reason he himself wasn’t ever the one swinging from the rope.
EXACTLY... he’s just a little psycho who loves torturing ppl or making them do dangerous/stupid stuff while being in control.... reminds me of the playboy doc when some of the women talk about hef and him “directing” a lot of sick 💩 that happened in the mansion
Because you were right there beside him right? No one knows what was going through David’s head except for David and I highly doubt he was like YEA LET ME MAKE THIS THING GO FASTER SO I CAN SERIOUSLY HURT/ALMOST KILL A FRIEND OF MINE. That’s literally the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard cause no one would ever do that. Also Jeff choose to get on the rope and swing, no one forced him to do that & he could have very easily have said NO but he didn’t and now he along with David have to live with the consequences of their actions. Lastly Jeff needs to stop blaming everyone else for his fucking issues/problems & start taking responsibility for his own actions as well as David to.
@@hopelovepeace25 You don't seem to get how abusive situations work. This is like saying "Why don't women just leave their abusive husbands?" as if there aren't societal and monetary reasons someone might be inclined to keep their mouths shut and do what they're expected to do, lest they go hungry or end up on the street. There's also social conditioning to take into account, as well.
David was clearly the man in power here, and often people in positions like that get drunk off the idea that they can do anything they want and consequences don't apply to them. That's why they abuse and take advantage of people in the first place.
That being said, I don't PERSONALLY think David did this, but it's always a possibility. The fact that he wouldn't do the stunts he signed his friends up for really says a lot imo.
@@hopelovepeace25 David doesn't know you. He never will. No need to be defending him this hard
@@hopelovepeace25 so if you're a passenger of a car and the driver gets you into a near death crash, are you accountable for the accident because you agreed to sit in the car or is it the drivers fault
Sick of hearing about David Dobrik can he retire already 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Yesssss do something else, get out!🍅🍅🍅
Seriously!! Booooooo!!!!!!!! It seems like his high point has passed now. He is not as popular as he once was. He still has a huge fan base but people are moving on to other creators now.
Can he still be deported?
its funny how it took a big influencer like casey to tell everyone how bad david is.
Do you think this will have any affect on him though? David seems to be able to get away with everything...unfortunately
@@marissa3610 I would think not since his fan base is mostly made up of pre teens and teens. They will forgive easily since in their eyes David can’t do any wrong
Everyone already knows how bad David is. Casey hasn't really brought anything new to light especially not talking to David for a year.
People already knew from trisha, seth, hannah, ethan and h3h3 in gen talking about it
@@moisesmiguel897 yeah very true
Literally been trying to watch this for 2+years
David really had no right to put any of his “friends” lives in danger, and the justification is so weird
They are all grown adults though. I really don’t feel bad for any of them.
He didnt expose anything tho? Literally everything in there we already knew about, and theres a lot he never even mentions. He doesnt interview pretty much anyone involved in everything over the years, not Seth, not Jonah, not Liza, not Jeff, etc. And during the documentary they stopped talking right when things were getting really crazy for David, so theres a lot of stuff he has no input on besides speculation.
I think its a joke and i stand by Def Noodles calling it out for being the terrible doc it is. There was so much potential and it was a flop
I agree. He could’ve gone deeper since there’s a lot of skeletons in Davids closet. But I think it was a start on how David’s Stans didn’t believe it until they saw it and even then they’re in denial.
So you think it was kinda easy money for Casey? I didn’t look at it that way before but it makes sense. A lot of sense.
So if they weren’t talking then was the footage used past footage from david’s channel or did casey hire someone?
Also having Kat Teenbarge narrate when she wasnt the one to expose the SA. it was actually Frenemies that brought attention to that first.
@@laylaa3744 that’s not true that article was in the works before they talked about it.
This was a really good breakdown. Thank you for taking one for the team. 👏🏽 Im really hoping it gets the distribution it needs so the rest of us get an opportunity to see it first hand.
David is very immature. Like how he says he feels like people think he's a villian or something is such a childish way to see it. I don't think he purposely tried to hurt Jeff. He got carried away and excited and didn't think any of the stunts through. They should've been wayyy more prepared specially if they were doing such crazy stunts!
And this blame game is making it even worse. He needs to take accountability for his actions. And obviously he should've been a good friend to Jeff. He's not a villian he's a coward.
While I understand the criticisms of Casey, I think people are forgetting that he has his own brand, his own audience, his own style of presenting his content. Coverage of an event or issue doesn't need to be brand new, never before heard information to be good coverage, it just needs to be delivered well and in a new way.
Sounds to me he did that, someone who knows nothing of David would watch this and understand why people are so invested in the subject. TH-cam has been exempt from so many media laws until recent years because it's such a grey area between work and personal, I haven't gotten to watch it yet (don't know where I can?) but I'd like to, because it sounds like he managed to let the story speak for itself.
Almost like, it's not about David as a person and any judgement calls on that, but whether or not that matters for someone in a position of power, like David, and whether or not we should excuse it. Like, it's not about him being a shitty friend to Jeff, it's about the fact that it was a workplace injury and transparency about policy and what he plans to do to prevent it in the future, owning up and compensating. (Instead he just seems like he doesn't care, shit like that makes me really wonder why Liza left. Mainstream media had no issues welcoming her with open arms.) David hasn't just been a lame friend, he's been a bad boss, hiding behind that and pretending none of his business moves were business. Someone David's size in success, I feel like any stunt like that should have the same liabilities any other TV or movie set would.
david uses that "i just wanted to make people happy" excuse but the thing is if hes hurting other people to do it, its not okay
Halfway through this I realized... "Why am I watching someone talking about a Casey Neistat documentary when I could just watch the documentary". ✌️✌️
I literally did not even think of that… imma go do that now.
I can’t find it anywhere 😩
It’s so disheartening that certain people would sell their soul and do whatever lengths needed to go for fame, attention, money, and control.
For myself, no price is worth the cost.
If this documentary goes public I want to know if david is making money from it bc if he is the only way i’m watching it is pirating it…
I don’t know how he could considering he isn’t making money from the SXSW viewing and that cost $500 a person to view. So I doubt he will profit from anything.
@@rachaeljones4731 well i would assume that when casey asked david to film he wasn’t gonna do it for free…i would be shocked if he actually didn’t ask for money. i’m also not surprised that david isn’t talking to casey anymore and i’m sure it’s bc he doesn’t like the doc
@vaughn you’re the one spreading false propaganda and statements here, I see you posting sht in many comments saying weird sht, did David dobrik paid you to comment ?🤡
Been waiting for a summary cos there was no way I was watching reactions or the thing itself lol
34 seconds is the earliest I’ve been to watch your videos!! 😱🥰 Thank you for consistently entertaining me whenever I have some downtime 😌 Keep up the good work 😊
Thank you so much for watching!!!
I used to be an huge David fan, and let me just say the vlogs I enjoyed the most were never the ones with the fancy cars or the trips or even ppl getting hurt. It was literally when he would just walk around LA with Alex and hang out at Zane and Heaths house. He really let the fame go to his head, all of them did :(
@vaughn do you?
@vaughn never said he was different, I just said I used to enjoy the vlogs better when they were simple and just him and his friends. He’s always been power/money hungry, but before he had power and money his vlogs were really entertaining in my opinion
I am so proud of not watching 1 of David's videos. The only reason I know anything about this is from this channel and the insider article. I will never watch any of his material. Ever!
Who cares
Casey could of done so much more with that doc….he really didn’t go as hard on the rape allegations with Dom and that to me was disappointing. He didn’t interview even half of the people he should of but he made it that way to reach a broader audience. I get his side but he could of interviewed more people
Exactly!!!! Where are the first hand accounts, it's always in someone else's point of view.
@@saraa1741 where did you watch it?
he didnt go hard on the rape allegations w dom because it wasnt a documentary about dom, it was abt david and his experience. im not saying he shouldn't have added more in the doc because he totally should have but i feel like he was focused on david more than anyone else
I’m sure all of that is covered more in the 12hr cut
@@xeno9999 which we will probably never see sooo
honestly the only ppl I enjoy watching in the vlog squad are zayn and Heath! I think they're really entertaining! I used to look up their compilations on ytb instead of watching davids vlogs for their bits. Thank god they're doing their own thing now on their podcast
LMFAO!! David never “gave” anyone who actually needed anything a damn thing! He gave these cars and money to his friends, assistants, friends of friends. It’s not like he was out on skid row helping the homeless. It’s amazing how blind people are.
David has paid off student loan debt for strangers, given laptops to college and high school kids, and has helped homeless people, including a now famous one, get off the street.
David has done some bad things he needs to be held accountable for but dont spread false narratives, that only takes away from the victims because the more lies you spread, the less people believe the victims
@@apollomommy7364 first off read, if you read my comment ain’t no one taking any attention away from David’s victim’s. Since you also know he’s done all this charity work to people who actually need it. I’d like to a follow up video on these things, lol, anyone can do anything on camera
Just like how he promised to take of Jeff’s bills
And stopped. Lol just cause it’s on camera doesn’t mean it actually happened. Unless it was someone in his inner circle l, he never gave a damn thing to anyone in actual need
Lol wake your blind ass up

Best & most informative vid on this documentary. Thank you.
I feel like this kind of further proves Emma chamberlains view on youtube about how people would just use each other to further their own careers. It's sad, and some people will say thats the business side of being a youtube mainly an up incoming one or one thats already been established. But that's not justification for risking one's safety point blank, period. David should have learned this when jonah nearly smashed his head on the edge of a pool with a scooter or even with the flame thrower. Instead, he exhibited reckless behavior throughout his youtube career and never took accountability for it, nor has he taken responsibility for risking his friends' livelihoods. It's also amusing because he can point the finger at everyone else, but he doesn't know how to act appropriately when it's on him. Also, the over-sexualization of Corinna like yeah, she does onlyfans, and yeah, she may be a super sexual person IRL, but that doesn't give them the right to use that as a gateway to have a bit in the vlog. It's disgusting and kind of desperate, in my opinion.
Another thing that pissed me off was his comments about the insider article. You say you don't want to victim blame, but here you are, victim, blaming her for going to insider disclosing her story all because you think the website wants clicks. No offense, but if David didn't use his friends for content with the extreme lengths that he goes to, half of the stuff that happened might not have actually happened as a lot of these things could have been prevented if David truly cared about others. Cause the only act of caring he does is buying his friends cars or giving them money which yeah, thats nice, but at the same time, it's all about content with him to make it look like he is an excellent person to blind us from the reality of whats actually going on.
For years people have always said how good of a person David was by buying his friends cars, trips, etc. but now I’m just seeing a master manipulator. Of course his “friends” would go out of their way to do these stunts or do things they didn’t want to because look at what David did for them, look at what he gave them! “David just bought me my dream car, Super Bowl tickets, etc. am I really going to tell him no right now?” Everyone can say that these people were grown adults with their own autonomy, which is true, but can adults not get manipulated? The entire Internet was manipulated by David’s image; his friends aren’t immune because their adults. You have this person that over the years has cultivated this environment to where you can’t say no/are pressured to say yes & the gifts and trips that you receive are incentives for your behavior to continue. If this was a 1-1 relationship, everyone would be yelling toxicity & for the other person to run but does that somehow disappear when it’s a group of people? Thanks for breaking down the documentary!
Thanks for covering this so thoroughly 💗
So did you pay 600 dollars to watch this omg you’re a real one for that that’s crazy
ya im really confused a youtuber documentary is $500-600 range just to watch it online? uh what?
@@curbkink76 where do you even watch it??
@@bumblebeee2696 the film was a part of the South by Southwest film festival. There's no way to watch it online unless you pay for a ticket to the festival.
@@Lovely2291 woah.. that’s insane. :(
@@Lovely2291 tysm for letting me know. I just know it would’ve been so cool to watch for sure.
can't believe people payed like $500 to watch this doc no amount of money i would pay
why is it so expensive
"He's so mad." Good. I hope David is angry for being exposed. It just shows even more of the type of person he is. (Hint: it's not good.)
m blank. m mm m lmk boi no b knock j know mom mj mom know n lo
Does it matter - because he just keeps making videos & people just keep watching.
Look at Shane Dawson - he is right back getting praise & views. Look at Jeffree Star or James. Charles - anyone who should get hated on & deserves to lose their platform just lays low & shows back up with a brand change like they are born again.
Then the people like Jenna Marbles, with genuine conscious & morals gives up her platform for something that was insensitive, but would have been overlooked eventually - all because she genuinely feels bad & sorry. This is the huge difference in the types of famous internet people. But it's so hard to tell which ones are genuine until you watch someone get canceled.
David isn't sorry. David doesn't feel bad. David is a narcissist, maybe even a psychopath. He is literally a cult leader. I still wouldn't be surprised if he kills someone while trying to get his fame back.
Unfortunately people like to make stupid people famous…
bottom line, david deserved to be held accountable for the whole situation with dom. he filmed, edited, and produced the video. not only did he allow the behavior to happen but he literally filmed it. so yeah he’s gonna be a big part of the article because the literal proof of it happening is in HIS video. while david might not do these bad things, he enables this kind of reckless behavior yet feels like he shouldn’t face consequences for it? just because he has money and power shouldn’t make him not have to be held accountable.
you know it’s serious when we don’t get the intro bop 🎶🫖
The way we're sleeping on the fact he literally got his "colleague" bit by a snake and wasn't exactly in a hurry to get it off, even laughed while he bled
Wow I didn’t even know that. This is the thing: for these three, four, five incidents that we know about, there are countless others we don’t… it’s so concerning
The drill on Jason’s chest could’ve gone so wrong tbh thank god nothing happpened
Okay first, jason agreed to it, second, he paid jason to do it.
@@beckthter jason consented and there was an animal handl8ng specialist there, and they did it in the handlers business, they paid to do it and jason got paid for it and agreed to it
@@apollomommy7364 third it's a weird ask in the first place, "hey lemme take you to an animal place, find the "meanest" one, and have it bite you" plus in this supposed 'paid gig' what were the limits? That snake was on there for at least 10/15 seconds and the handler was laughing too
Oh snap! I didn’t realize how early I am here ! I love you so much and thank you so much for being you! I love your voice! 💜💜💜
💗💗💗💗
Thank you for taking one for the team!!!!! This is why we love you!🤗💜🍀
Boycott SEATGEEK and the Discovery Channel
Go boycott 🤪🤪🤪
LMFAOOO 😂
I never buy my ticket through seat geek so I'm a step ahead
I hate David's smile...it's forever open he never smiles normally. His giant mouth is always open.
this is making me laugh so fckn hard omg
Especially his tongue like dude put it in your mouth !
Jeff did forgive him though.. he just rescinded the forgiveness when he didn't get the love and care he expected (which is understandable to end a friendship but he did forgive him initially)
Yeah he forgive him and then david blame the accident on him lol
So forgiveness revoked
Wait i’m confused bc after the Jeff accident came out, it seemed like they werent friends anymore. Then when David started the vlogs again, Jeff has showed up so I assumed they reconciled but I’ve stopped keeping up with it. Are they on good terms now or no more?
@@pinkblueberryyy They aren't friends anymore.
(Jeff said that since injury their friendship died, bc David wasn't a good friend or even a good person regarding his injury. But he also explains that he just was trying to keep being loyal😞)
Forgiveness is unconditional and irrevocable. Not to release your friend but to give YOURSELF peace. Jeff hasn't truly forgiven him and he's just stuck in bitterness
@@jakestroll6518 whatttt🤣 is not unconditional. If i hit you and say sorry, and you forgive me even i should never put my hands in you, and you going out of your way to forgive me
And then i say "no, i never hit you. You understood that wrong" thenn the apology is meaningless dude🤣🤣
Thanks for the recap.
Like.. Jeff didn't give him permission to attempt 3rd degree murder just because he wanted a few more takes
It's so crazy that David would try to equate "let's keep filming" with "I'm going to behave in a wildly inappropriate manner without consulting anyone first that resulted in someone almost dying"
And he actually expected everyone to believe and hear that. Such a gross abuse of his power.
Gaslighting. He is definitely looking to grab on to anything to shift blame from himself and create a false narrative
He was grossly reckless. He is living in his mansion while Jeff he been disabled with his eye and surgeries and still cries victim all during his views podcast discussing it.
Casey neistat really pulled a Lexi from euphoria on David lol
Is the doc online anywhere??
Fantastic breakdown
I really appreciate your work.
This channel is so nice. They brief me through all of that mess. Love you girl 😚❤️!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
David’s going to keep getting slammed until he actually makes things right
Honestly in the beginning when I first started watching David a long time ago I woulve never thought any of this would happen and I definitely didint see him as the horrible person he’s coming out to be now but I think that all the crazy unique things and the gifts and wonderful moments every now and then definitely made me over look the bad parts of it
This was such a great summary, thank u!
Best review I've seen Spilly!💗🌻
To think, if it weren't for that incident with Jeff, David would've never been exposed. The worrisome thing is, regardless of him being exposed, once people rise to that level, it's very rare that they lose their status because enough people will still watch and promote them. Enough people's entertainment becomes more important than moral.
I think David struggles to understand that even if this was an accident, that doesn't automatically excuse everything. The fact of the matter is he was doing very dangerous stunts very carelessly and without the right amount of precaution, and this entire situation with Jeff shows how bad things can get. David wants to be 'fun' and I get that, but at the end of the day someone got very hurt and could have very well died doing this stunt that he was responsible for, and he needs to take more accountability. David keeps saying he 'blames himself BUT..." There's always an excuse that follows like 'jeff sent me this dm' or 'jeff was the one who wanted to do it.' It's as if he (David) is trying to shift blame and that to me is one of the biggest problems.
But I think the documentary was right to end with the clown music as if to allude to the fact that nothing has changed and David is back to his crazy ways because that's the truth, and I think it's important that people realize the danger of David returning to youtube.
Hypothetically, if Jeff wanted to sue still, couldn’t he? I don’t believe the statue of limitations is up. I really believe Jeff should sue if he can.
Thank you for the summary :)
from the jump i never got into david’s videos. his laughed and the way he acted always annoyed tf out of me and never seemed sincere. just proves to always follow that gut instinct with people!!
LOL the laugh always made me cringe
Thank you!!
Where can we watch the doc?
What's really sad is that nothing will change and David will keep on going and growing his channel
and there's nothing you can do about it, so get over it
If you're looking for accountability, which I was- this documentary turned out, surprisingly- to be a washout. It was so hyped up. I was expecting so much more truth and that Casey was the one who would bring it to us, and none of us could wait to see David Dobrik's story laid out bare. But it definitely was not that.
It missed on so many levels. Casey looked like he was trying to please both parties, and in the process, dropped the ball for the money.
The thing is Jeff is not surrounding himself with good people right now, and he has had a TBI - a Traumatic Brain Injury... which affects his cognitive thinking. He needs sound, loyal, intelligent counsel around him, or DD is going to lie his way out of this mess as well.
Dobrik does not believe himself capable of being responsible for any negative actions. End of story.
Casey did say there were nearly 20 hours of unused footage and that he had to try and fit it all in a movie, so there's probably more damaging stuff in that editing room.
Where can I watch this doc? Im so interested!
Such a great breakdown. This is the most thorough I’ve seen
Fascinating watching these kidults discover a concept known as 'ethics'.
Good for Casey, I’m sure he was threatened for planning on releasing the film. But this needed to come out, and I’m more than sure this is only the beginning. Some of these creators have really gone too far with power.
Does anyone know where you can watch this documentary or is it not available?
Thank you for using the term “TH-cam Famous” there’s levels to this.
Ive always hated how they said they owed David for their careers…it’s like how? He was never in it it was always them doing the stunts they were what people were watching for david owes them for his success
The truth of it is although his friends/coworkers feel like they owe a lot to David, David himself would be NOTHING without them.
Where can I find the documentary???
Where can I watch it? I can’t find it anywhere!
I heard that Casey said there’s a 12 hour version and like I can only imagine what’s in that one
I understand that some of the things he has been a part of weren't great life choices, however, we are not talking about children. These are grown adults in his vlogs with the ability to make their own decisions. Idk why that because they are in his video that he is the sole person blamed for when things his friends do go wrong.
where can we watch the doc
wait where can u watch the doc
Do you know when we will be able to watch this publicly?
I feel like it'll be a long time :(
@@SpillSesh im dying to watch it! Like im sure everyone else is haha
Is it not public?
YAAAAS, Casey😎👍 Love you, Spilly💯😍😘💗💗💗
How did you access to watch this? Is it available to the public?
Where can we watch it?
