- The Vlog Squad began in 2015 when David Dobrik left Vine for YouTube.
- Insider recently reported an allegation of rape against a former member of the group.
- Here are all the members of the Vlog Squad, past and present.
The Vlog Squad, an unofficial creator collective made up of YouTubers in David Dobrik's orbit, is under scrutiny online after Insider reported an allegation of sexual assault against former Vlog Squad member Dom Zeglaitis.
Dobrik was dropped by 13 sponsors, including SeatGeek and Chipotle; he stepped down from Dispo, the app he co-founded; YouTube demonetized his channel, which has been shedding views and followers; venture capital firms have cut ties with Dobrik and Dispo; and his podcast has lost sponsors.
But who is the Vlog Squad? The group of friends operates as a revolving door for different creatives to appear in Dobrik's famously fast-paced, 4-minute-and-20-second videos. The content frequently features pranks.
Before recent allegations, Dobrik was largely beloved on YouTube, where his main channel's videos have racked up 8 billion views and 18.5 million subscribers.
Members of the Vlog Squad have cycled in and out since Dobrik, a former Vine star, began vlogging in 2015. Each member of the group is a star in their own right, with millions of followers on YouTube and Instagram.
Here's a history of the members of the Vlog Squad, past and present.
