YouTube demonetizes David Dobrick after sexual assault claims

[Supersonic 49,376]

YouTube said it will temporarily suspend advertising from David Dobrik’s channels, after a woman said she was raped by a member of his entourage in 2018.

Dobrik, 24, rose to fame with comedy and prank videos produced with a group of his L.A. friends called the “Vlog Squad.” A report by Insider last week documented sexual-assault allegations by a woman against a former member of the Vlog Squad, Dom Zeglaitis, who said she was too drunk to consent to sex. Dobrik had shot and posted a video of the woman entering a bedroom (which he has since removed); this week, he admitted he “should have never posted it.”

In a statement, a YouTube rep said, “We have strict policies that prohibit sexual harassment on YouTube and take allegations of sexual assault very seriously. We have temporarily suspended monetization on David Dobrik and Durte Dom channels for violating our Creator Responsibility policy.”

Give kids way too much power and money at a young age and they usually turn into trash with huge egos

I don't know this guy at all, are people cancelling him bc he knew about the rape or just bc it was revealed one of his friends is accused of rape?

His level of involvement isn't clear (some say he was definitely complicit, others not so sure). BUT he still filmed the activity which even if consensual is a weird thing to do.

David risks his DACA protection being revoked if he is charged and could face deportation.

Deport that ugly mother****er. 👏

They’ll monetize him again. Shane was demonetized for a bit, but then they reversed that. I don’t expect him to have any permanent consequences from YouTube.

Its disgusting for filming it

Meh I have no faith in Youtube to do the right thing. Just look at Jeffree star who they still constantly promote after everything came out about him Or Logan Paul filming a dead body on their site. If you make Youtube enough money they're never going to push you from the platform. This is all for show.

Finally but I hope people drop him completely. He made an apology video a couple days ago and then immediately started reuploading all his videos to Facebook, which already have millions of dozens of views. Disgusting.

Some of his friends are actually nice person. I hope they detach from him just like what Liza did

this really reminds me of that Pretty Dangerous Woman movie. god, i hope justice is found.

Today I Learned that I’m older than David Dobrik, who looks like he’s in his early thirties.

OT: now?! Why not 10 days ago?! Temporarily?!
