David Dobrik, a famous Slovakian-born YouTuber with 17.4 million subscribers, surprised fans by returning to YouTube in January 2025 after a hiatus of almost three years. His absence from his main channel between March 2022 and January 2025 left many fans curious about his silence. During this time, Dobrik shifted his focus to exploring personal endeavors, such as running his LA-based pizza business, Doughbrik's, and traveling worldwide. He also engaged his audience on other platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. This is prepared by SSP.

In past years, Dobrik encountered significant backlash following controversies related to the Vlog Squad, including a severe accident involving Jeff Wittek and accusations against Dominykas 'Durte Dom' Zeglaitis. The allegations – particularly about sexual misconduct – led to the demonetization of Dobrik's YouTube channels and obstacles to his professional relationships, causing a decline in viewership and loss of several high-profile sponsorships and partnerships.

Despite these setbacks, Dobrik continued to harness his fame through platforms like Snapchat and TikTok and explored successful business ventures, including merchandise sales and industrial investments. In January 2025, he marked his return to YouTube, showcasing both a celebrated physical transformation and gratitude towards friends who helped inspire his newfound commitment to self-improvement. His comeback video, which showed Dobrik giving Teslas to his Doughbrik's employees and traveling with friends to the Seven Wonders of the World, captivated his audience.

Dobrik and his evolving suite of loyal friends, including best friend Natalie Mariduena, kept his audience invested through continued collaborations, despite controversies. As he returns to YouTube, Dobrik continues to maintain relevance across various platforms while also rebuilding past professional ties in the process.

Earlier, SSP reported that Travis Kelce revealed his thoughts on fall weddings.
