The YouTuber David Dobrik is driving his white Tesla through the verdant hills of suburban Los Angeles, explaining the challenges of selling thin-crust-style pizza in L.A., his assistant Natalie texting in the back seat and Billy Joel on pause on the stereo, when he abruptly stops talking. “I got this,” he says. “Don’t worry, guys.” He leaps out of the driver’s seat to help an elderly lady with a walker cross the street.

David Dobrik is known for gifting his friends Teslas, Ferraris and more luxury vehicles, but he's trying out something different this time. On the Tuesday, Feb. 9 episode of his podcast Views, the YouTuber welcomed Halsey, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Alev Aydin, to his new home studio. And since Halsey came on the show as a gift to David's friend and former assistant Natalie Mariduena, David thought it was only right to get the pregnant pop star a present too. "I don't know what to get a celebrity baby," the vlogger told her, "so we went to Tiffany and Co. and we got this cute little bear." And David didn't skimp on the...

David’s Disposable, the startup founded by YouTube luminary David Dobrik last Christmas as a disposable camera app -- which is evolving to become a fully-fledged social media network -- has announced its first two hires.
Dobrik announced that he was hiring designers and engineers for the company -- which looks to be transitioning its name to Dispo, per its Twitter account -- via a Product Hunt post in August, subsequently spawning thousands of applications. Now, Dispo has confirmed its first two hires in a Twitter thread. They join a small-but-mighty team that already includes Dobrik (who serves as 'chief fun officer'), longtime friend and business associate Natalie Mariduena (treasurer), and the entrepreneur and venture capitalist Daniel Liss (who is Dispo's CEO).
They are: Dispo’s first-ever engineer, Regynald Augustin, and lead designer Briana Hokanson. Amid the bold-faced hires, sources tell Tubefilter that an announcement about the company's first funding round is on the horizon.

David Dobrik is only 22, but the Vlog Squad patriarch is also the proprietor of a $2.5 million mansion, to which he opened the doors for Architectural Digest’s YouTube channel (1.7 million subscribers). The Conde Nast-owned title has shared several other highly-viewed tours from the likes of John Stamos, Jessica Alba, and Lenny Kravitz.
Despite the breezy chicness of the 2,700-square-foot, four-bedroom Studio City property -- which Dobrik says he purchased two-and-a-half years ago after much rumination -- the interiors tout several of Dobrik’s signature touches, including a shelf for his Kids Choice and Streamy Awards, numerous Led signs, a non-functioning gumball machine, artwork by the L.A. fraternal duo Shelby and Sandy, and Dobrik's favorite piece of furniture -- a Restoration Hardware 'cloud' couch.
"It's not too big, it's not too small, it's not too modern, it's not too old," Dobrik said. "It's just like the perfect inbetween I think.
