That story is so frustrating. I work with those machines- like as a job. They are not toys. You are supposed to be extremely cautious when approaching one of them , making sure others are aware of where you are and never moving the boom (the arm) of the machine towards other people. Stupid, frustrating. Should never have happened. Ps: I make like 50k a year as an operator . It is boring and thankless and not held in very high regard. It feels like blue collar tourism to have events where rich kids play with working class tools for the views
Thank you and all the blue collar workers for keeping our society running. It’s a shame that the majority of people don’t realize how important these jobs are. The backbone of our society 😊
@@Llamasomenumbers I will not. I would hate that work. I also got fired and physically assaulted by the president of the company on monday. Life is not fair.
Normalize men also needing time to heal from toxic friendships. Another sense of toxic masculinity is not allowing young men time to understand and feel their feeling. Erasing Toxic masculinity isn't some bs made up, it's to serve a purpose that you as a man are valid in your emotional feelings.
I feel like their 24 hour energy cycle and lack of any type of natural biological mental or physical setback, like a monthly menstrual cycle, really doesn't allow for much down time for men, we have a whole month to cycle through our emotions, our bodies require our attention, the only time they take a time out is when they're forced to with illness or injury, and it often drives them "crazy", having to sit still for so long. Not working kills some men. They really have no idea how to just give in. Taking time out to heal from emotional trauma is definitely just as necessary, but how to convince them of this is another issue altogether.
Masculinity is not a man-made quality, it is a natural attribute and as such it cannot be negative or positive, toxic or not toxic. Same as femininity, or a hand, a leg etc. If someone kicks you that doesn't mean legs are toxic. Your feminism, which by the way is a very masculine dogma, is confused in so many different ways, the most fundamental of which is the denial of the role natural programming plays in societies. We humans are biological species obeying ancient biological rules that predate humans. "Social conditioning" is not the fundamental builder of our societies.
David in apologize video: “I’m sorry that YOU” - Yeah that isn’t apologizing, he’s just salty that he is called out for his horrible behavior. David victim blaming the victim and blames the audience for not liking his actions. David is not sorry for his actions, he blames the victims and the fans. He refused to take accountability for HIS own actions.
That would be the Narcissist's signature "fake apology. I should know as I have dealt with that bullshit from my own narcissistic parents for over 20 years.
@@brandonh.6956 Same. I finally worked up the nerve to tell my mom stuff happened to me as a kid, she told me to get over it. Months later I eventually worked up the nerve to confront her about it and she would gaslight me and say "I never said that what are you talking about" and walked away. I just decided it was best for my mental health to just not mention it again or talk to her about any type of personal thing with her cause she'd act like that, act like I was lying, or gossip about it behind my back and act like she was in the right the entire time.
I permanently damaged my left eye, also. ☹️ watching Jeff look at his face through one eye for the first time brought me back to my first time seeing my damaged face, knowing I would never see out of that eye again. Knowing I would never look normal again. It’s a lot to process and you immediately fall into a grieving process. I feel so bad that this happened to Jeff, and I hate that I relate so hard.
If it's any condolences, I guess you can always be a fun at party by wearing an eye patch or something. But still, I hope nothing bad ever happens to you m8. Stay safe.
I’m so sorry to hear. That makes you so much stronger than most, friend. Not only because of the physical pain you’ve endured, but because you are a beautiful example of someone coming to terms with saying goodbye to their former selves as they knew it and embracing the adjustment to life and finding beauty and silver linings, no matter how seldom found and no matter how rare. I hope life has been kind to you since then and that you’ve been thriving. 💛
Dobrik sends someone through many surgeries because he takes someone's sight and could have taken his life yet he can get away with it cause victim blaming. I really hope Dobrik gets what he deserves through karma. Because it's going to come like a truck.
Side note: I don't fully agree that digging up past videos or information to show a pattern of behaviour is necessarily a bad thing because it can provide better context. For example, historically people who are bullied or deal with some form passive aggressive bias for prolonged periods are seen as crazy when they finally "snap" and its important to show why the momentary lapse in judgment happened. It does not give their actions any justification but it helps provide perspective. Granted of course it isn't used as a manipulation tactic.
I agree with you. I think she might be confusing the intent behind some of that research. From what I’ve seen very few people are saying the slap (for example) was justified, but more trying to figure out how will smith was brought to that point. Likely in an attempt to understand human behavior better. Also, looking into the character of someone like Trisha pastas isn’t victim blaming (although it can be) it’s trying to evaluate her credibility as a witness. They do this in court, even in countries without juries, because (and this is a shocker so hold on) people lie. If a witness has a history of lying that needs to be taken into account. I didn’t know who this dobrik douche was before this scandal came along, and he obviously sucks so I’m not trying to validate his behaviors. I rate there are a million reasons why people are still watching him and siding with him. I’ve even seen people say they don’t think he’s innocent but they don’t factor that in to the content he makes, they enjoy it and they are going to watch it so long as he is making it. It doesn’t matter to them what horrible things he does. I think a lot of ppl feel that way but it’s easier to say they think he’s the victim to justify their own poor behavior.
@@kmhkennedy Exactly this. I find it difficult to understand why or even how he has managed to retain his audience. We also need to discuss how RUclips is complicit in all of this. In my opinion creators like Shane Dawson and Dobrik should be deplatformed.
So, I never watched Dobrik's videos, or even really knew who he was before this all blew up. That's not like a brag or something, I'm just old and kind of an outsider on this group. But when Jeff released his series about the incident, I wanted to see it. Then I was surprised to see how his following, and David's, reacted to it. He states, multiple times, that the reason he's forgiving David is because he needs to focus on healing. And having that anger and stress can hurt his healing neurologically. Like, that was it. It was because he had to in order to heal. Like removing a knife from a cut. But so many people were like, "Well, it's not fair to hold this over David, because Jeff forgave him." Excuse me? What? It doesn't require a buttload of emotional maturity or an insane ability to read subtext to see that's not the case. He didn't forgive him because he was taking responsibility, or because he thought David was innocent. He forgave him so that he might not have permanent brain damage. He had no choice but to forgive him. It's not the same. That doesn't absolve David of playing around and finding out WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE. It's funny, because Jake and Logan Paul have never done something at that level. Never. And the general consensus is that they're trash people. Imagine if one of them did this. Imagine if it was a Paul brother who almost killed one of their friends. The internet thinks Logan Paul is scum because he did something morally and ethically bankrupt, what if he did something criminal? We know they have poor ethics, what about if they were actually, unequivocally, criminals? Like a near negligent homicide? I could honestly sit here and list RUclipsrs that are rightfully widely hated, and have been guilty of far lass than Dobrik, all day long.
These are grown adults no one forced Jeff or David to do anything. I would feel differently if it was someone like Alex Warren who clearly looks up to Daivd and would do anything to please him but Jeff is almost 30 and it was his idea to do it. Should David have said no 100% heavy equipment isn’t something to be played with and someone else should have definitely been spinning it around
I’d think David’s fans were 9 years old. Anyone older than 16 watching that crap is just frightening. From what I’be read David NEVER put himself in danger. It was always someone in his group. Also hate he called one girl in the group “the one that fucks everyone”. Never said that about any of his guy friends who I’m sure weren’t lonely. It was just slut-shaming the girl.
@@christinademps374 No matter what age you can be manipulated by people you look up to. People 30+ get into toxic relationships all the time they’re never the problem the abusers are.
@@bucketonfoot I’ve listened to all sides and at the end of the day we are just on the outside looking in there’s a lot we don’t know which is fair because we aren’t their friends and there’s a lot of holes in ppl’s stories. At the end of the day my heart goes out to Jeff I’ve a major injuries too and it’s absolutely horrible but you can see how his actions and general personality lead him to that situation and the same goes to say about Daivd. However hindsight is 20/20
The majority of ppl I know my age between 30-40 did not know who David Dobrik was like myself until one of your previous videos. I grabbed 4 of my friends in all opposite sides of our professions. Ranging from A Real estate agent, Excavator, IT specialist, nutritionist, and like myself another friend with a psych degree because I like to get 2nd opinion in the subject as a lot of times another prospective adds more knowledge. I picked out a few of his RUclips vids of him that you mentioned, sent then to each individually and asked to watch and give me a serious thought on the character. , I didn't even mention anything about Dobrik or mentioned him specifically and so far e out of two said within the first 10 mins they pretty much came to the same conclusion. RE : "This David guy gave me the creeps everytime he smiled something gave me a weird feeling that he acts like the creepy guy who uses laughter when he abuses people thinking because he laughed its ok and the same time cunning like a cult leader. That said if I was slayed to show a house to him I would make up an excuse to leave or if I met him prior I would have someone with me at the viewing. " E:" seems like a bunch of kids goofing off to some rich ring leader guy who if he wasn't a "virtual celebrity" everything he's doing would be manipulative and borderline illegal. Waco vibes* I. T. : "Why is this douchebag Kid so popular and those people around him so dumb to put up with it. I guess their prerogative. He seems super nice and alluring... But I wouldnt be surprised if he ran a prostitute/sex trafficking ring." Psych degree friend : she actually called me within 5 mins and said " If this is who you're dating you need to wake the fuck up.. I am 5:02 in and this Dobrik is a narcissistic sociopath. Not everyone can see. He checks off all the boxes to me but I won't lie I think I can see it because I am constantly observing ppls behavior like you do as we were taught in our degrees - I won't lie If I was in his presence I could easily be manipulated and not know it. I really hope this doesn't end in you telling me that he's some serial killer who uses ppl do do his biding by luring him in his cult like harem with the age old stick with me if you want fame or fortune." Waiting on other 1 more and I'll post results then. Viewing him you come with some sort of caution but it's easy to see how and what he uses to blind side his victims which he convinces are his friends.
Mid Millennial here, I only knew Dobrik through Liza Koshy and her videos which I always loved... unless he was in the videos. Even in the videos with their relationship he seemed.... off, weird vibes, creepy, just very very creepy, weird, demeaning, toxic, domineering, jerk vibes. I watched one vlog and said yeah no- so completely dismissed him, which I had done with several other youtubers at the time who... lo and behold turned out massively toxic but were very very popular. It might have just been an early to mid millennial thing where most of us were old enough to spot the toxicity, but I also don't want to speak for everyone.
I just watch Netflix doc series about Jimmy Seville. Thinking about how he got away for so many long in the industry. Just like Jimmy, I think David know many celebrities and influencers stinky dirty laundry, and he also got back up from the higher ups.
@@nyxiiieee not a millennial (gen z) but david always gave me the creeps. i rmbr watching one of his videos when i was 13 (18 now), i was completely disgusted by him. he seemed so fake and mean i didn’t understand why anyone liked his content. never watched him again but i wasn’t surprised when i would hear his future scandals.
David was NOT in control of the situation. The “fail safe” that kicked in is a built in safety mechanism - because excavators are not meant to spin around in circles, it’s super dangerous. And they’re ABSOLUTELY not meant to be used to swing people around in the air.
i have no qualifications to speak on this but i can imagine that is more than plausible- if it happened that the operator were incapacitated leaning on the excavator’s controls, you would want the machine to be able to stop automatically so that others could safely come to their aid.
@@vladimirvparfenov3935 that, and to stop tradies from fucking around on a job site. My dad is an electrician and has seen some insane stuff on job sites. Like heavy machinery being passed from one crane to another over the top of a building (MASSIVE no-no)
Yes but it was his idea. The thought alone of swinging people from an Excavator is WILD. He has the means to have a medical personnel/s and aid around the venue in response to something like this.
I am so ready to listen to this while I get my morning started! This situation is one I’ve followed closely so I’m super interested on your take. Jeff has been on and off for me, but I’m glad he was finally able to stop covering up for David and spoke his actual, non-sugarcoated experience. It was almost cathartic when he just went full off on him in his podcast/online after aaalll those stifled emotions.
For real. I understand the hesitancy towards Whittek but I genuinely think he was gaslighted, everyone in that friend group that isn't LIKE Dobrik has to have been. It takes time to train yourself out of that
I love your style of reporting, Donna! You get straight to the point, your editing is always clean and not overdone, and you have a satisfying mix of stock footage and shots of yourself speaking "to us" which, to me, keeps things engaging and keeps videos from getting stale. As a budding content creator, you've been one of my inspirations. Looking forward to seeing more!
Donna, your channel is hands down one of the best here on RUclips! The eye for detail you have, the way you structure and narrate your videos and the food for thought you leave at the end is brilliant! Also, I really like that we’re able to be part of your thought experiments and research via Instagram, love this interactive part!! :D than you for the work you do!
The victim blaming tactic reminds me of the master slave dialectic in philosophy and reminds me of projection in psychoanalysis (object vs subject)(image vs reality). Perhaps victim blaming is the modern equivalent. I’d suggest reading up on those to see if it leads you somewhere interesting.
I CONFESS: I'm guilty of trying to find reasons for unsavory behavior, b/c I need to believe that if my actions stay on point that the same thing won't happen to me. I want to believe that I have some control over what happens to me simply by making the wisest decisions. And while I certainly _do_ attempt to do that, I have made mistakes that could have cost me dearly, but chance happened in my favor.
Tbh I’m glad you alluded to the Depp vs Heard case in this because while I do think Depp was severely abused in that relationship, the discourse has been falling into this trap horribly and I think that’s dangerous for survivors. Let me elaborate: I believe Amber Heard abused Depp because I listened to 4-5 hours of unedited audio thats been released of them talking and arguing while alone together. Heard displays repeated and well documented emotional and psychological abuse strategies, such as redirection when her partner makes a solid and reasonable point, guilt tripping her partner when he expresses his personal boundaries, minimizing her actions, maximizing his, moving the goal posts, sometimes gaslighting within the same recorded conversation, demeaning language and false equivalence, entitlement over her partners body and autonomy. There’s also some testimony from their marriage counselor which I found pretty impartial and extremely telling. She revealed amber would hit Depp when she felt disrespected in moments he left the room during a verbal onslaught. If she had hit the man in response to being hit or cornered, he would still be the abuser. But she sighted many instances where amber hit Depp for trying to leave and escape during her one of her rages and verbal onslaughts, explaining she saw this as a personal slight. There’s are huge flags for abuse and based on this I suspect amber was the one beating her spouse to control him & I suspect that Depp was only hitting in self defense. However, instead of this important evidence, the public discourse has been sighting really irrelevant reasons and logical fallacies to believe Depp. I’ve seen people saying they don’t believe heard because of how she comes off on the stand, her personality, their love for depps personality. These are all useless. Especially when a good body language specialist will tell you that signs of deception also occur when a person is fearful they won’t be believed ! Which is the crux of a defamation case! A victim of abuse is also often angry and off putting, they’re drained from what they’ve been through. A perpetrator is often skilled at seeming calm, serene and charming to contrast with their victim and seem more believable! He’s also an accomplished actor. That’s why I went into the case suspecting that Heard was innocent and abused. However the cold hard evidence in the audio recordings, many of which Heard recorded herself, are really chilling and really telling. She shows herself to be a skilled abuser on mental emotional and physical levels. She actually justifies physical attacks saying she is “standing up for herself” but in the same sentence she is referring to standing up for wanting depps time and attention. She is not referring to him hitting her and hitting back, which I would support. She is referring to Depp disagreeing with her, not consenting to something she wants, and him walking out of a room to de-escalate as what she is “standing up to” by hitting him. This is control. and the full unedited context of the audio conversation is really startling. She knows how to use the language for very effective victim blaming. When all she is standing up for in the conversation is her wants with his body. It’s creepy and disgusting. I wish more people were talking about the real signs she is the abuser. Not her attitude on the stand or depps reputation with his friends. Those arguments are poisonous to survivors. I say that even while counting Depp among survivors
It's important to also ask the question; if their sexes had been reversed from day one, would everyone have believed Depp if he'd mad accusations first? And then if similar audio had come out that had her as a man now admitting to hitting and manipulating him (just like the real audio has her admitting that), would some people still staunchly say "well I think they were both abusive"? If he were a woman and we all believed him now, because of the audio, would we not just see that person as a pure victim, rather than someone in a "mutually toxic relationship"? I think it's ridiculous the number of people who seem to still be judging him this harshly just because he's a MALE victim.
@@thareelhelloagain people do generally believe men in the public eye if they come forward first. The male tik tok star who accused his ex girlfriend of abuse was really readily believed and the woman was despised by audiences from then on. And tbh most of his claims and evidence to me were off and raising red flags for me, like maybe he was a bit of an amber in that situation, but I couldn’t find any other person who felt that way
@@KitKat_293 yeah, men if they are well known to the public will be defended till death, by the public, fans and sometimes friends of him, if depp was the abuser and behaved the same way amber is doing right now that wouldn’t be enough to the public say HES THE ABUSER 100%, things would be way more divided
@@TheWrestlingful tbh I’m not scrutinizing you or what you went through. I just think it’s dangerous to all survivors to say that all women are believed and all men are not. There’s so many other factors besides gender at play when a victim is dismissed and a perpetrator is overlooked and when a false accusation takes hold or is debunked in the public eye. I understand and agree it’s hard for male victims to be believed. I only want to say that it’s not as easy for the average woman to be believed as you’re suggesting either. And I’ve even known a narcissistic man to make a false accusation on a woman he was abusing once. Those twisted dynamics can go beyond gender
Really great and well presented…it’s as if David saw something so special in Jeff, he almost wanted to destroy him, subconsciously…be careful what you manifest, it’s stronger than you realise 👀
I'm so high right now, but this video slaps. Really enjoyed how "Fundamental Attribution Error" was portrayed in different kinds of settings and environments, whether it be in social media, politics or the justice system. Especially how it reflect in our own lives and remembering instances when you have unknowingly fallen to the same error or may have even used it yourself. Also, accidentally watched this at 1.5 speeed. So, yeah, thank you very much. Good video.
Saw this in my notifs and was like "huh? Who is internet impact and why am I subbed?" Then I saw it was you, guessing there was a name change to the channel?
His audience are children, they just are easily fooled and tbh most of them dont care about morals as well all they care is entertainment I don't think any reasonable person would follow this guy after what he did to his "friend", other ppl and how weak his "apology" was
I remember when you first started posting videos, it was already very informative and constructive. Love the improvements, and the fact you're channel is growing so big now
Part of me feels horrible for Jeff on a human level but he did go to prison for selling the date rape drug. My empathy starts to run thin for someone that helped other men drug and rape people.
I'm a crane operator so I don't have first hand experience running excavators but I've worked around them a lot. I'm certain they do not have any "fail safe" that would lock up the swing. The swing on those hold position when the control is released so either his hand slipped or he intentionally stopped.
In a February interview on the H3 After Dark podcast, Big Nik said the group was “toxic” and “like a cult,” and that Dobrik's mockery of his dwarfism in his videos gave the rest of the group tacit permission to treat him “like a punching bag.” Former members have also alleged that they felt coerced into doing certain ...
I just found your videos and I was pulled in specifically by the David Dobrik/Jeff Wittek incident. I usually do not like to keep digging into these things because I feel like its a massive rabbit hole. BUT! When I found this video you talked about how us as viewers can sometimes see something as 'oh they're just stupid' vs. 'there is something going on at home' I truly had to comment because I also feel like there are layers to that. I took a second to think back on if I had ever done that and I am sure that I have, but I also think that some don't go straight to that depending on situations where that has happened to them or even someone else in their life. I see countless comments on videos like that and growing up I was bullied and to some extent everyone has been bullied. This really does though pique my interest because sometimes it's far overlooked and is a massive problem. My question lies in why some people see through it and see that there might be underlying issues vs. something superficial? Or even how to fully evade thinking that way? I do love your content though, it packs a punch but keeps lighthearted so its not forced upon someone! Have a good day!!
Look at Amber Heard. All these commenters are like "Don't blame the victim!" and then turn around and jump on an opinion like they know Depp and Heard personally.
siting down and thoroughly picking a RUclips video to watch after a spending 2 hours cooking dinner is a process. clicked on your channel without hesitation as soon as i sat down. worth it!
This hit on a lot of great perspectives especially about victim blaming. Its important that we don't let our biases get the best of us when it comes to determining rather or not someone is guilty of something they may or may not have done...it could be the difference of life and death or a pattern not repeating itself again....
I would love if you analyzed the way the internet has framed presidents and presidential candidates in the last several years. It would take far too much research, though, and likely you would receive a barrage of hate.
I have been taught that as you can't control others and circumstances so YOU need to conduct yourself to keep stuff from happening to you. Which always leads to victim blaming....
Peoples interest are highest when they can understand bits of what is going on. When a story is fresh and also familiar to something going on in your life, you make connections between the story and your life to make sense of the both of them. This is called analogy making and its a vital process in understanding things. the first connections you make are usually the easiest to make and it then it builds up in complexity. when it becomes complex it just takes way too much energy and time. Dopamine is related to pattern recognition so its pleasurable to make connections. Perhaps once you've reached a complexity the effort it takes to make connections outweighs the benefit. If you wait a period of time and acquire more life experience and more details of the story get revealed suddenly what was once a complexity becomes simple connections you can make that are pleasurable until youve hit another complexity. my guess is people lost interest because the subject became too complex. David "shifting the blame" suggests to people that he is not entirely at fault. Thats a complexity that the majority wont likely tackle, until the majority have grown up enough to understand it with not much effort required.
The study about people assuming a Muslim judge giving a terrorist a lesser sentence is because of his religion is kind of self-defeating, since it implies that the people surveyed are wrong to assume that a person's religion will make them judge people of the same/different religions differently, but the study's results also imply that the people discriminating against the Muslim guy are doing so because of their religion (presumably Christianity).

Awesome video as always, I really appreciate your work on these videos and social analysis! Also love the background work for this one lol my gal getting real rich here
So basically, you better make sure you always maintain your reputation, because when shit hits the fan, that's gonna save you more than logic or justice.🥰ah, isn't life wonderful?
I remember watching his videos being entertained but also feeling uncomfortable and noticing moments I was not okay with. I also used to listen to Views. That was when I got even more uncomfortable because now you got to hear his actual opinion on things. The way he spoke to his friends, his opinion on things, and his lack of knowledge on the world and how other people are/function was so frustrating to listen to sometimes. But for some reason I still kept watching, I still kept listening.... Why? Partially I guess its because I was not taking them too seriously. I was simply watching out of curiosity and to have something to listen to on my long drives. Maybe I fell into the illusion of yea those jokes don't feel okay but his friends are laughing along with him (the ones he makes fun of) so who am I to feel anyway about it.. idk
For the test with the celebrities I think "pay a fine" and "jail for a few months" should have been separated. I think paying a fine especially for a celebrity is kinda the least that could be done...
i feel like no one cares as much cuz they consider jeff less creditable after he defended david and will make him out ot be a clout chaser now that the vlogs arent are profitable but i feel like people should take what he says more srsly cuz leaving david would be hard seeing his connections and how he controlls their jobs cuz lets be honest the vlog squad members except like corina will not really be relevant if they get dropped
I love your videos so much!!! Thanks for taking the time to do these analysis. also dobrik has always creeped me out and given mega bad vibes so its no surprise victim blaming is his go to.
I think my fundamental attribution bias is broken because my first thought about little Johnny Gandhi's grades was: oh poor boy he must have undiagnosed adhd or trouble at home.

the whole DD circle is cursed.
I feel like their 24 hour energy cycle and lack of any type of natural biological mental or physical setback, like a monthly menstrual cycle, really doesn't allow for much down time for men, we have a whole month to cycle through our emotions, our bodies require our attention, the only time they take a time out is when they're forced to with illness or injury, and it often drives them "crazy", having to sit still for so long. Not working kills some men. They really have no idea how to just give in. Taking time out to heal from emotional trauma is definitely just as necessary, but how to convince them of this is another issue altogether.
Not even toxic friendships but any relationship in general
NGL I felt this one too
Masculinity is not a man-made quality, it is a natural attribute and as such it cannot be negative or positive, toxic or not toxic. Same as femininity, or a hand, a leg etc. If someone kicks you that doesn't mean legs are toxic.
Your feminism, which by the way is a very masculine dogma, is confused in so many different ways, the most fundamental of which is the denial of the role natural programming plays in societies. We humans are biological species obeying ancient biological rules that predate humans. "Social conditioning" is not the fundamental builder of our societies.

I permanently damaged my left eye, also. ☹️ watching Jeff look at his face through one eye for the first time brought me back to my first time seeing my damaged face, knowing I would never see out of that eye again. Knowing I would never look normal again. It’s a lot to process and you immediately fall into a grieving process. I feel so bad that this happened to Jeff, and I hate that I relate so hard.
If it's any condolences, I guess you can always be a fun at party by wearing an eye patch or something.
But still, I hope nothing bad ever happens to you m8.
Stay safe.
I’m so sorry to hear. That makes you so much stronger than most, friend. Not only because of the physical pain you’ve endured, but because you are a beautiful example of someone coming to terms with saying goodbye to their former selves as they knew it and embracing the adjustment to life and finding beauty and silver linings, no matter how seldom found and no matter how rare. I hope life has been kind to you since then and that you’ve been thriving. 💛
I’m sorry that this happened to you, I hope everything brightened up to even better than before, prayers to you

Dobrik sends someone through many surgeries because he takes someone's sight and could have taken his life yet he can get away with it cause victim blaming. I really hope Dobrik gets what he deserves through karma. Because it's going to come like a truck.

Side note: I don't fully agree that digging up past videos or information to show a pattern of behaviour is necessarily a bad thing because it can provide better context. For example, historically people who are bullied or deal with some form passive aggressive bias for prolonged periods are seen as crazy when they finally "snap" and its important to show why the momentary lapse in judgment happened. It does not give their actions any justification but it helps provide perspective. Granted of course it isn't used as a manipulation tactic.
I agree with you. I think she might be confusing the intent behind some of that research. From what I’ve seen very few people are saying the slap (for example) was justified, but more trying to figure out how will smith was brought to that point. Likely in an attempt to understand human behavior better.
Also, looking into the character of someone like Trisha pastas isn’t victim blaming (although it can be) it’s trying to evaluate her credibility as a witness. They do this in court, even in countries without juries, because (and this is a shocker so hold on) people lie. If a witness has a history of lying that needs to be taken into account.
I didn’t know who this dobrik douche was before this scandal came along, and he obviously sucks so I’m not trying to validate his behaviors. I rate there are a million reasons why people are still watching him and siding with him. I’ve even seen people say they don’t think he’s innocent but they don’t factor that in to the content he makes, they enjoy it and they are going to watch it so long as he is making it. It doesn’t matter to them what horrible things he does. I think a lot of ppl feel that way but it’s easier to say they think he’s the victim to justify their own poor behavior.
@@kmhkennedy Exactly this. I find it difficult to understand why or even how he has managed to retain his audience. We also need to discuss how RUclips is complicit in all of this. In my opinion creators like Shane Dawson and Dobrik should be deplatformed.
Yuppp
So, I never watched Dobrik's videos, or even really knew who he was before this all blew up. That's not like a brag or something, I'm just old and kind of an outsider on this group.
But when Jeff released his series about the incident, I wanted to see it. Then I was surprised to see how his following, and David's, reacted to it. He states, multiple times, that the reason he's forgiving David is because he needs to focus on healing. And having that anger and stress can hurt his healing neurologically. Like, that was it. It was because he had to in order to heal. Like removing a knife from a cut.
But so many people were like, "Well, it's not fair to hold this over David, because Jeff forgave him."
Excuse me? What? It doesn't require a buttload of emotional maturity or an insane ability to read subtext to see that's not the case. He didn't forgive him because he was taking responsibility, or because he thought David was innocent. He forgave him so that he might not have permanent brain damage. He had no choice but to forgive him. It's not the same. That doesn't absolve David of playing around and finding out WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE.
It's funny, because Jake and Logan Paul have never done something at that level. Never. And the general consensus is that they're trash people. Imagine if one of them did this. Imagine if it was a Paul brother who almost killed one of their friends. The internet thinks Logan Paul is scum because he did something morally and ethically bankrupt, what if he did something criminal? We know they have poor ethics, what about if they were actually, unequivocally, criminals? Like a near negligent homicide?
I could honestly sit here and list RUclipsrs that are rightfully widely hated, and have been guilty of far lass than Dobrik, all day long.
@The Stammering Dunce I completely agree
These are grown adults no one forced Jeff or David to do anything. I would feel differently if it was someone like Alex Warren who clearly looks up to Daivd and would do anything to please him but Jeff is almost 30 and it was his idea to do it. Should David have said no 100% heavy equipment isn’t something to be played with and someone else should have definitely been spinning it around
I’d think David’s fans were 9 years old. Anyone older than 16 watching that crap is just frightening. From what I’be read David NEVER put himself in danger. It was always someone in his group. Also hate he called one girl in the group “the one that fucks everyone”. Never said that about any of his guy friends who I’m sure weren’t lonely. It was just slut-shaming the girl.
@@christinademps374 No matter what age you can be manipulated by people you look up to. People 30+ get into toxic relationships all the time they’re never the problem the abusers are.
@@bucketonfoot I’ve listened to all sides and at the end of the day we are just on the outside looking in there’s a lot we don’t know which is fair because we aren’t their friends and there’s a lot of holes in ppl’s stories. At the end of the day my heart goes out to Jeff I’ve a major injuries too and it’s absolutely horrible but you can see how his actions and general personality lead him to that situation and the same goes to say about Daivd. However hindsight is 20/20
The majority of ppl I know my age between 30-40 did not know who David Dobrik was like myself until one of your previous videos.
I grabbed 4 of my friends in all opposite sides of our professions. Ranging from A Real estate agent, Excavator, IT specialist, nutritionist, and like myself another friend with a psych degree because I like to get 2nd opinion in the subject as a lot of times another prospective adds more knowledge.
I picked out a few of his RUclips vids of him that you mentioned, sent then to each individually and asked to watch and give me a serious thought on the character. , I didn't even mention anything about Dobrik or mentioned him specifically and so far e out of two said within the first 10 mins they pretty much came to the same conclusion.
RE : "This David guy gave me the creeps everytime he smiled something gave me a weird feeling that he acts like the creepy guy who uses laughter when he abuses people thinking because he laughed its ok and the same time cunning like a cult leader. That said if I was slayed to show a house to him I would make up an excuse to leave or if I met him prior I would have someone with me at the viewing. "
E:" seems like a bunch of kids goofing off to some rich ring leader guy who if he wasn't a "virtual celebrity" everything he's doing would be manipulative and borderline illegal. Waco vibes*
I. T. : "Why is this douchebag Kid so popular and those people around him so dumb to put up with it. I guess their prerogative. He seems super nice and alluring... But I wouldnt be surprised if he ran a prostitute/sex trafficking ring."
Psych degree friend : she actually called me within 5 mins and said
" If this is who you're dating you need to wake the fuck up.. I am 5:02 in and this Dobrik is a narcissistic sociopath. Not everyone can see. He checks off all the boxes to me but I won't lie I think I can see it because I am constantly observing ppls behavior like you do as we were taught in our degrees - I won't lie If I was in his presence I could easily be manipulated and not know it. I really hope this doesn't end in you telling me that he's some serial killer who uses ppl do do his biding by luring him in his cult like harem with the age old stick with me if you want fame or fortune."
Waiting on other 1 more and I'll post results then.
Viewing him you come with some sort of caution but it's easy to see how and what he uses to blind side his victims which he convinces are his friends.
Mid Millennial here, I only knew Dobrik through Liza Koshy and her videos which I always loved... unless he was in the videos. Even in the videos with their relationship he seemed.... off, weird vibes, creepy, just very very creepy, weird, demeaning, toxic, domineering, jerk vibes. I watched one vlog and said yeah no- so completely dismissed him, which I had done with several other youtubers at the time who... lo and behold turned out massively toxic but were very very popular. It might have just been an early to mid millennial thing where most of us were old enough to spot the toxicity, but I also don't want to speak for everyone.
The other two friends are infatuated by Dobrik
I just watch Netflix doc series about Jimmy Seville. Thinking about how he got away for so many long in the industry. Just like Jimmy, I think David know many celebrities and influencers stinky dirty laundry, and he also got back up from the higher ups.
@@nyxiiieee not a millennial (gen z) but david always gave me the creeps. i rmbr watching one of his videos when i was 13 (18 now), i was completely disgusted by him. he seemed so fake and mean i didn’t understand why anyone liked his content. never watched him again but i wasn’t surprised when i would hear his future scandals.
@@chosokamosgf when you know you know! And yeah same.
David was NOT in control of the situation. The “fail safe” that kicked in is a built in safety mechanism - because excavators are not meant to spin around in circles, it’s super dangerous. And they’re ABSOLUTELY not meant to be used to swing people around in the air.
i have no qualifications to speak on this but i can imagine that is more than plausible- if it happened that the operator were incapacitated leaning on the excavator’s controls, you would want the machine to be able to stop automatically so that others could safely come to their aid.
@@vladimirvparfenov3935 that, and to stop tradies from fucking around on a job site. My dad is an electrician and has seen some insane stuff on job sites. Like heavy machinery being passed from one crane to another over the top of a building (MASSIVE no-no)
Even if he wasn't in control of the situation, it was HIS idea, HIS video ¿why would somebody put their friends in that kind of dangerous situation?
Exactly he was not in control of the situation he should go to jail for risking the lives of others. He’s lucky that he wasn’t sued
Yes but it was his idea. The thought alone of swinging people from an Excavator is WILD. He has the means to have a medical personnel/s and aid around the venue in response to something like this.
I am so ready to listen to this while I get my morning started! This situation is one I’ve followed closely so I’m super interested on your take. Jeff has been on and off for me, but I’m glad he was finally able to stop covering up for David and spoke his actual, non-sugarcoated experience. It was almost cathartic when he just went full off on him in his podcast/online after aaalll those stifled emotions.
For real. I understand the hesitancy towards Whittek but I genuinely think he was gaslighted, everyone in that friend group that isn't LIKE Dobrik has to have been. It takes time to train yourself out of that
I love your style of reporting, Donna!
You get straight to the point, your editing is always clean and not overdone, and you have a satisfying mix of stock footage and shots of yourself speaking "to us" which, to me, keeps things engaging and keeps videos from getting stale.

Just came here from the year old video. Amazing work, again! ❤
Appreciate how thoughtful you are about these things. The tactics people pull to stay willfully ignorant are so concerning...
The victim blaming tactic reminds me of the master slave dialectic in philosophy and reminds me of projection in psychoanalysis (object vs subject)(image vs reality). Perhaps victim blaming is the modern equivalent. I’d suggest reading up on those to see if it leads you somewhere interesting.
I CONFESS: I'm guilty of trying to find reasons for unsavory behavior, b/c I need to believe that if my actions stay on point that the same thing won't happen to me. I want to believe that I have some control over what happens to me simply by making the wisest decisions. And while I certainly _do_ attempt to do that, I have made mistakes that could have cost me dearly, but chance happened in my favor.
To me, all I think when someone mentions David Dobrik is the Meat canyon parody where he is a man-eating monster
Even though I've never heard of 99% of the people these videos are about, they're always a fantastic watch.
Appreciate the content you produce Donna
Appreciate YOU watching
I'm glad to say I never watched a David Dobrik video and I only know that he's a terrible person from people like Donna and Phillip Defranco
You never watched but you know he is terrible , 😂 what a irony
Tbh I’m glad you alluded to the Depp vs Heard case in this because while I do think Depp was severely abused in that relationship, the discourse has been falling into this trap horribly and I think that’s dangerous for survivors. Let me elaborate: I believe Amber Heard abused Depp because I listened to 4-5 hours of unedited audio thats been released of them talking and arguing while alone together. Heard displays repeated and well documented emotional and psychological abuse strategies, such as redirection when her partner makes a solid and reasonable point, guilt tripping her partner when he expresses his personal boundaries, minimizing her actions, maximizing his, moving the goal posts, sometimes gaslighting within the same recorded conversation, demeaning language and false equivalence, entitlement over her partners body and autonomy. There’s also some testimony from their marriage counselor which I found pretty impartial and extremely telling. She revealed amber would hit Depp when she felt disrespected in moments he left the room during a verbal onslaught. If she had hit the man in response to being hit or cornered, he would still be the abuser. But she sighted many instances where amber hit Depp for trying to leave and escape during her one of her rages and verbal onslaughts, explaining she saw this as a personal slight. There’s are huge flags for abuse and based on this I suspect amber was the one beating her spouse to control him & I suspect that Depp was only hitting in self defense.
However, instead of this important evidence, the public discourse has been sighting really irrelevant reasons and logical fallacies to believe Depp. I’ve seen people saying they don’t believe heard because of how she comes off on the stand, her personality, their love for depps personality. These are all useless. Especially when a good body language specialist will tell you that signs of deception also occur when a person is fearful they won’t be believed ! Which is the crux of a defamation case! A victim of abuse is also often angry and off putting, they’re drained from what they’ve been through. A perpetrator is often skilled at seeming calm, serene and charming to contrast with their victim and seem more believable! He’s also an accomplished actor. That’s why I went into the case suspecting that Heard was innocent and abused. However the cold hard evidence in the audio recordings, many of which Heard recorded herself, are really chilling and really telling. She shows herself to be a skilled abuser on mental emotional and physical levels. She actually justifies physical attacks saying she is “standing up for herself” but in the same sentence she is referring to standing up for wanting depps time and attention. She is not referring to him hitting her and hitting back, which I would support. She is referring to Depp disagreeing with her, not consenting to something she wants, and him walking out of a room to de-escalate as what she is “standing up to” by hitting him. This is control. and the full unedited context of the audio conversation is really startling. She knows how to use the language for very effective victim blaming. When all she is standing up for in the conversation is her wants with his body. It’s creepy and disgusting. I wish more people were talking about the real signs she is the abuser. Not her attitude on the stand or depps reputation with his friends. Those arguments are poisonous to survivors. I say that even while counting Depp among survivors
It's important to also ask the question; if their sexes had been reversed from day one, would everyone have believed Depp if he'd mad accusations first? And then if similar audio had come out that had her as a man now admitting to hitting and manipulating him (just like the real audio has her admitting that), would some people still staunchly say "well I think they were both abusive"? If he were a woman and we all believed him now, because of the audio, would we not just see that person as a pure victim, rather than someone in a "mutually toxic relationship"? I think it's ridiculous the number of people who seem to still be judging him this harshly just because he's a MALE victim.
body language reading is a pseudoscience. completely worthless
@@thareelhelloagain people do generally believe men in the public eye if they come forward first. The male tik tok star who accused his ex girlfriend of abuse was really readily believed and the woman was despised by audiences from then on. And tbh most of his claims and evidence to me were off and raising red flags for me, like maybe he was a bit of an amber in that situation, but I couldn’t find any other person who felt that way
@@KitKat_293 yeah, men if they are well known to the public will be defended till death, by the public, fans and sometimes friends of him, if depp was the abuser and behaved the same way amber is doing right now that wouldn’t be enough to the public say HES THE ABUSER 100%, things would be way more divided
@@TheWrestlingful tbh I’m not scrutinizing you or what you went through. I just think it’s dangerous to all survivors to say that all women are believed and all men are not. There’s so many other factors besides gender at play when a victim is dismissed and a perpetrator is overlooked and when a false accusation takes hold or is debunked in the public eye. I understand and agree it’s hard for male victims to be believed. I only want to say that it’s not as easy for the average woman to be believed as you’re suggesting either. And I’ve even known a narcissistic man to make a false accusation on a woman he was abusing once. Those twisted dynamics can go beyond gender
Jeff is and was always too real for that group

I just found your videos and I was pulled in specifically by the David Dobrik/Jeff Wittek incident. I usually do not like to keep digging into these things because I feel like its a massive rabbit hole. BUT! When I found this video you talked about how us as viewers can sometimes see something as 'oh they're just stupid' vs. 'there is something going on at home' I truly had to comment because I also feel like there are layers to that. I took a second to think back on if I had ever done that and I am sure that I have, but I also think that some don't go straight to that depending on situations where that has happened to them or even someone else in their life. I see countless comments on videos like that and growing up I was bullied and to some extent everyone has been bullied. This really does though pique my interest because sometimes it's far overlooked and is a massive problem. My question lies in why some people see through it and see that there might be underlying issues vs. something superficial? Or even how to fully evade thinking that way? I do love your content though, it packs a punch but keeps lighthearted so its not forced upon someone! Have a good day!!
So Dobrik takes no responsibility for his actions. I think it’s the same ole shit many famous people do, we’re just seeing it in the age of RUclips.
Look at Amber Heard. All these commenters are like "Don't blame the victim!" and then turn around and jump on an opinion like they know Depp and Heard personally.
siting down and thoroughly picking a RUclips video to watch after a spending 2 hours cooking dinner is a process. clicked on your channel without hesitation as soon as i sat down. worth it!
This hit on a lot of great perspectives especially about victim blaming. Its important that we don't let our biases get the best of us when it comes to determining rather or not someone is guilty of something they may or may not have done...it could be the difference of life and death or a pattern not repeating itself again....
I would love if you analyzed the way the internet has framed presidents and presidential candidates in the last several years. It would take far too much research, though, and likely you would receive a barrage of hate.
I have been taught that as you can't control others and circumstances so YOU need to conduct yourself to keep stuff from happening to you. Which always leads to victim blaming....
Peoples interest are highest when they can understand bits of what is going on. When a story is fresh and also familiar to something going on in your life, you make connections between the story and your life to make sense of the both of them. This is called analogy making and its a vital process in understanding things.
the first connections you make are usually the easiest to make and it then it builds up in complexity. when it becomes complex it just takes way too much energy and time.
Dopamine is related to pattern recognition so its pleasurable to make connections. Perhaps once you've reached a complexity the effort it takes to make connections outweighs the benefit.
If you wait a period of time and acquire more life experience and more details of the story get revealed suddenly what was once a complexity becomes simple connections you can make that are pleasurable until youve hit another complexity.
my guess is people lost interest because the subject became too complex. David "shifting the blame" suggests to people that he is not entirely at fault. Thats a complexity that the majority wont likely tackle, until the majority have grown up enough to understand it with not much effort required.
26 minutes into the video and I just now realized the background lmao
I'm still so mad you don't have more subscribers i mean you work so hard for your videos
this applies to how the depp/heard trial is playing out
The study about people assuming a Muslim judge giving a terrorist a lesser sentence is because of his religion is kind of self-defeating, since it implies that the people surveyed are wrong to assume that a person's religion will make them judge people of the same/different religions differently, but the study's results also imply that the people discriminating against the Muslim guy are doing so because of their religion (presumably Christianity).
You’re one of the best video essayists on RUclips, and there’s a lot of talented people out there. I mean this as the highest possible compliment. Also, thanks for getting me into Joji.

Missed you! Welcome back Donna. I know the case is ongoing but I hope you get a Depp/Heard video going at some point.
10:40 this is exactly whats going on with the Amber Heard v Johnny Depp case
So basically, you better make sure you always maintain your reputation, because when shit hits the fan, that's gonna save you more than logic or justice.🥰ah, isn't life wonderful?
I remember watching his videos being entertained but also feeling uncomfortable and noticing moments I was not okay with. I also used to listen to Views. That was when I got even more uncomfortable because now you got to hear his actual opinion on things. The way he spoke to his friends, his opinion on things, and his lack of knowledge on the world and how other people are/function was so frustrating to listen to sometimes. But for some reason I still kept watching, I still kept listening.... Why?
Partially I guess its because I was not taking them too seriously. I was simply watching out of curiosity and to have something to listen to on my long drives. Maybe I fell into the illusion of yea those jokes don't feel okay but his friends are laughing along with him (the ones he makes fun of) so who am I to feel anyway about it.. idk
