In the nearly 40-minute-long podcast episode, Dobrik revealed he is โ€œcontentโ€ with the videos he has created and is open to exploring different interests aside from vlogging. When asked if he wanted to give up YouTube, he said:

โ€œUm- yeah, somewhat, not. I donโ€™t know โ€” I kind of do, kind of donโ€™t. I feel like Iโ€™ve done it. I donโ€™t know how I can answer this in the sweetest way possible. There are different days when I do and different days that I donโ€™t.โ€

The controversial creator added:

โ€œIโ€™m so happy with the videos Iโ€™ve created, and Iโ€™ve made so many of them, where Iโ€™ve completed everything. I wanted to finish on YouTube. Like, Iโ€™m really content with those videos, and thatโ€™s it. And I do want to put a bow on it and wrap it up and be like next thing, what else can I do? Can I go fishing?โ€

He also shared his pet peeves about the questions he has been asked about his job:

โ€œMy least favorite question was when people would come up to me and then go, โ€˜whatโ€™s the real David like?โ€™ And Iโ€™d be like โ€˜get the f**k outta here,โ€™ and Iโ€™d be like this is it, this is what youโ€™re getting. Itโ€™s like โ€˜the YouTube videos, itโ€™s not all real,โ€™ and Iโ€™d be like โ€˜yeah neither is a f**king film or TV show,โ€™ like the process of making it is real to me and is so fun.โ€

The 25-year-old has been under fire since former Vlog Squad member Jeff Wittekโ€™s eye injury, which the former caused. The s**ual assault allegations against David Dobrikโ€™s former friend Dom Zeglaitis added fuel to the fire.

Fellow YouTuber Casey Neistat released the documentary Under The Influence on Dobrik, which has increased the rage against him. These can possibly be reasons for the internet personality calling his job quits.
