David Dobrik unexpectedly returns to YouTube with MrBeast after three year hiatus
And no, nothing was addressed
After a three year hiatus from YouTube, David Dobrik has posted his first video in collaboration with MrBeast, but what even happened which meant he stopped posting anything for so long?
Let’s catch up on what his first video back was about, what role MrBeast played in the whole thing and have a refresher on what happened between David Dobrik and his friends which stopped him for posting new content.
The 14 minute video titled, SURPRISING FRIENDS WITH BODY TRANSFORMATION!!, features a lot of famous faces, including MrBeast. The video shows David’s fitness journey throughout the past year alongside snippets of him visiting the Seven Wonders of the World.
As for the role of MrBeast in the video, it turns out he made a bet with David Dobrik at the start of the year where if he didn’t “get jacked” he’d have to buy “20,000 Feastable bars.” However, as David Dobrik stuck to his end of the bet, MrBeast promised he’d buy him a new car instead.
David Dobrik also announced his VIEWS podcast with Jason Nash would be coming back, as it’s remained dormant since early 2023, following his various controversies.
But given that this is the first video since 2022 that David Dobrik has posted, what exactly happened which meant he stopped posting for three years?
Following various allegations regarding a lack of consent in his videos in 2021, David posted an apology video on YouTube where he explained he’d distanced himself from some of his former friends and noted: “I’m sorry if I have let you down. Things like that won’t happen again.

“I have learnt from my mistakes and I also believe that actions speak a lot louder than words.
“You can take my word for it that I am going to change, but I will also show you and I will prove to you that the mistakes I made before won’t be happening again.”
Following the allegations, his long term sponsors Seat Geek, Frank’s Red Hot, Chipotle and Bumble all announced they would no longer be working with David. During this time he was losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers on an almost daily basis.
David Dobrik’s former friend and Vlog Squad member Jess Wittek uploaded a video later in 2021 where he claimed David was to blame for an accident he had suffered the year prior. As a result, he broke parts of his face and skull which required him to have surgery, and claimed David never reached out to apologise.
David’s last video on his YouTube channel was published just over two years ago and was titled HOT TUB WITH INTERNATIONAL MODEL!! However, it seems the combination of his new YouTube video and his podcast return means he’s fully back.
