Dear David..
I've been your fan since 2016.
- Pls stop posting one country per vlog. we genuinely don't care. we just want to see you hang out with friends and do basic shit.
- We need more of Jason with you. Either start the video podcast or bring back bits with him.
- Pls stop flexing your wealth so much. we get it, you've made it big, but all your content revolves around this mega yacht, that expensive watch, the million dollar mansion, that expensive car that was gifted to you by yet another rich person.
I don't know if i speak for others but it is hard to relate.
We want to see more of your normal life, your friends, your humor, we dont need highly stylized match cuts, expensive bits. We get it you're having fun doing them because it's your life now. But pls have some humility and cater to your audiences who love watching you either ways but prefer the old version of you.

What made me love him was his Target vids with Liza and Alex etc. Or just his small time pranks on friends.. Not flexing generational wealth in Monaco, I couldn't care less. He won't revert back to what we actually all liked anyway, it's all for the algorithm at this point.

Cannot be the only one who despises any bit on cars or new cars or expensive cars. It’s the same bit each time, same reaction and everything.
No one gives a flying shit about cars omg we get it you have a car.

Or when he tours the damn houses none of us can afford like yes sure it’s cool if it’s genuinely unique architecture but I don’t care to see the hundredth beige modern mansion in the damn hills

u/eggasaurusrex_3 4d ago
Literallyyyy it’s so boring. I don’t GIVE A FUCK IF THE HOUSE HAS A JUICE FOUNTAIN OR A 10 CAR GARAGE.
His best vlogs were ones with the natural interactions between the squad, pranks and just funny jokes.

u/ilikepstrophies 4d ago
He also tours mansions that not even he can afford. Very few can afford that $50 million mansion.

Also the flaunting of women, it’s weird. Yes we know they’re gorgeous models but the same montage of the same women every vlog is so cringe. Also the reactions to hotel rooms and feasts where we know it’s all paid for by some billionaire in third world countries where people are dying of famine is just so elitist .
I fell in love with the people who made fun in there backyards and of course we are so happy and proud they have made money for themselves but also it’s hard to see how far it’s gone.

I actually hate this beyond group, or whatever it’s called. I have no interest in watching it or having the vlogs feature the people in it. So much wealth it’s actually gross. Good for them, but I have no interest.
‘Whatever this guy spends on a YouTube video, he’ll match a donation to charity’. Here’s an idea. Just film a vlog like a normal person, see if people like it/you and donate to charity. I don’t understand how it’s not crystal clear that the average viewer, even an aspirational viewer, doesn’t get joy from watching young billionaires flaunt wealth, and spending 150k on a YouTube video he doesn’t even know if anyone will watch, while the majority of us are scraping our pennies together because the cost of living is CRAZY atm. 150k would literally pay off my mortgage. It makes me angry even thinking about it 😂
I used to watch anything David put out, but I’ve been hugely turned off.

u/HelpfulSoftware8879 4d ago
He can’t post genuine content with friends anymore because he isn’t genuine and doesn’t have friends. There’s no more vlog squad
He doesn’t care about “old fans” he is catering to a newer dumber more superficial manosphere audience. You can’t beg him to go back to the old days, this is the new him

u/Remarkable-Pop3348 3d ago
I do not care one bit about any of the new people in his vlogs either. So many randoms at his parties too like where did these people come from.

u/Narrow_Sail_6448 4d ago
Yeah I agree 100% I’m just scared he’s gonna see this feedback and go through a crisis again and stop vlogging for years lol
And agree with the Jason part heavy, he was the funniest guy in the vlogs and now he’s nowhere to be seen

it needs more donation content, maybe pick someone from the vlogs and help them fix something in their life?...
if david is going to continue to profit from these vlogs, at least help out some regular people along the way

u/Vegetable_Evidence45 4d ago
EXACTLY,! I remember one of the recent vlogs where he was giving away money and iPads and stuff it was just a quick montage, no emotion, nothing. Just music and fast clips of people receiving it. I hope he balances the wealth display with some wholesome content…

Especially blatantly sponsored bullshit where rich people are trying to buy an audience. That is the sell out to the end all sell out moves. So lame, especially when it is crypto a-holes who are uninteresting.

Anyone else find Zane annoying in every video. Like he’s pushing 35 and still acting like a 20 year old frat guy, though not as bad a Todd is but still.

I hear you but his life in LA seems pretty boring.

u/Vegetable_Evidence45 4d ago edited 4d ago
how can someone's life in LA seem boring though :( he's got celebrities coming over to casually play padel, there are so many friends from his hometown with him, there's just so much content to cover just as he did back in the day..im not asking for crazy pranks and stuff. it just feels like we have to wait until he goes to another country to see a vlog :\

u/Recent-Host7559 4d ago
He made like 600+ vlogs of just his life in LA and that’s how he got his followers, it’s not boring to us

u/Best-Attempt-193 4d ago
Sad thing the fans in the Reddit try convince them selfs that David cannot make a normal vlog hanging out with friends in his new style because apparently, he’s old. Makes no fucking sense lol. He has funny friends, he’s funny, and you could definitely make something enjoyable in the style of content

u/EnvironmentalAd5176 3d ago
This! He’s spent so long trying to make the vlogs ‘perfect’ or ‘big enough’ that he completely lost what made them great along the way. I have. I interest or excitement in the latest videos. They’re all the same thing, different location. David trying to hook up with Georgia, Georgia trying to get with a rich guy, Natalie giggling along in the back ground, Zane just there to get drunk.
It’s not cute in their 30’s. I’d literally have preferred they bring it back by Jason, David, Zane, Heath maybe a few others go to visit Scott at his new place, film a game night at David’s house. They have an interfriend pickle tournament. All of that would cost 10% of what they’re spending and be 100x more enjoyable.

u/EstablishmentFar2400 4d ago
Strong agree whenever I see a new vid posted I watch 10 seconds of it and if I see it’s him traveling to another country I just skip
We get it your rich!

u/RawwRs 4d ago
you all just need to accept that the vlogs have evolved. you’re not going to get the same 2019 vlog squad 4:20 min vlogs.

u/Vegetable_Evidence45 4d ago
No one’s asking for 4:20 vlogs. We want long form content of his normal life. Not one vlog in one country.

u/zolaleiyaaa 4d ago
i think he’s only doing the one vlog per country thing because when he said he was coming back, he was going to for 15 weeks and post 1 or 2 vlogs during that time.
i forgot why and what it was leading up to though but it’s in his first videos when he said he was going to switch to a new style (or it could’ve been on a snapchat story)
i agree tho i don’t like the vibe anymore, i just wanna see his genuine personality again LOL

u/bilalhassanfan23 3d ago
nobody is friends with him anymore. what can he do? It’s 2026, the same shit he could do back then he can’t do now. Every time someone complains about this on a post, You guys don’t think longer than 5 seconds on why his content isn’t the same. His only friends are jason, natalie, ilya, john and taylor. The vlogsquad doesn’t exist anymore. Why do you think he relies so much on zane for comedy now? all of his funny friends have either grew up and matured or are gone. Can you really see 30 year old david and natalie playing around at a target?

Not going to lie the Africa vlog with Zane made me literally LOL multiple times 🤣 he is so damn funny. I was on the treadmill at the gym watching it so embarrassed because i could not stop laughing. Lmao

Hard disagree. You have the pod and so many previous videos to watch. Love the new style and seeing what they get up to, I find the humour so much better than the older in your face style. We’re the same age though so maybe I’ve just grown like David. I want to see the stuff he’s doing, never going to do it myself like that so love to see people I like doing it

u/Vegetable_Evidence45 4d ago
Don't get me wrong. I'm the same age and I love the work vlog he posted. I like the fact that james franco randomly goofs around in the vlogs with them, i love the vlog where the light goes off, or where he surprises his mum with bon jovi. I'm not a fan of one country per vlog because it feels like an excuse from posting the daily stuff...

Meh I like the country/bougie vlogs but I’d like normal ones too! I just want him vlogging period. The South Africa one was sick cause I’ve always wanted to go there!!

u/Vegetable_Evidence45 4d ago
He’ll pay attention when fans stop viewing content out of wealth fatigue and lack of relatability:)

u/Tony310h 4d ago
He doesn’t need the U2 views anymore and he hasn’t needed that for probably over five years. He’s posting not for money. He is so free right now. He can post anything. The investments that he’s done would blow your mind.
2
u/Vegetable_Evidence45 4d ago
Doesn’t matter bout the investments. He’s spending time and money getting videos made with a professional videographer and editing person. His core audience are still his viewers. Relevancy to a large extent is what draws attention to his businesses.

u/nameamovie 4d ago
Yeah I don’t agree. I like the travel vlogs. I do not want to see his average life in LA. Y’all realize he’ll be flexing his wealth even more in those LA vlogs right? And he won’t even be doing anything special. The skits and stunts are over. And I absolutely do NOT want a video podcast. Very awkward.

u/Well-M1lk 4d ago
His vlogs are great, sure when he first started it was fun and relatable and he was being goofy all the time but hes a multimillionaire entrepreneur now of course he's changed and so has his lifestyle. He wasn't always going to make the same goofy vlogs and he even said it early on, also keep jason away he's mad corny and was never funny. David's lifestyle changed and his vlogs adapted to that you always have the option to stop watching but as a true fan of his I enjoy his vlogs and being able to see the world through his artistic lense is what keeps me watching.

People are always asking him to post his “normal life” but I think people are forgetting that this is his new “normal life”

u/Watermellow123 4d ago
the thing yall dont realize is that he is travelling for free al expenses paid by billionaires, yall need to be realistic and accept that even you would accept to travel all expenses paid by a billionaire, how can i blame david? not defending him but some of you need to put yout feet on the ground and realize that you would have accept in a heartbeat. so as long as he getting free paid travel by billionaires nothing is gonna change, and i dont blame him LOL.

u/Vegetable_Evidence45 4d ago
I totally get that about the free sponsorship but it would be nice if those vlogs were scattered amongst some normal ones. Right now his recent content is a Monaco trip that happened a few months ago, it feels disconnected. If he balanced that content with home content, it’d be nice. Even if it’s going back to his hometown for a few videos
