How David Dobrik Made (and Broke) Jason Nash

Jason Nash has gone from David Dobrik vlogs to TikTok begging. After David Dobrik was chased off of KZbin, Jason Nash struggled to find his footing as a solo act. Even on his early days of Vine, Jason Nash was able to lean on creators like Brandon Calvillo. But now on his own, Jason Nash has become best known for begging for money on TikTok. And the response to that is... predictable.
This is a video essay detailing Jason Nash's career from Vine, to David Dobrik's vlogs, to TikTok Livestreaming.

35 thousand a month? And now he's broke? I don't feel sorry for him at all.

[@rebeccasalgado6603]

Plus, the fact he said he would be content with 5k a month. Where'd it all go?

[@marvin9860]

He's definitely not broke he owns a multimillion dollar house in the hills

[@fawnieee]

​@@rebeccasalgado6603 I see so many content creators who got big, assumed the money and fame would last forever and then it doesn't and they end up broke because they never saved and invested anything. I can't feel sorry for them considering the opportunity they were given in the first place and the fact that they didn't take full advantage of the wealth and assumed through their hubris it would last forever.

[@orlandoyero7151]

Broke for these people is not having 5 million dollars in they bank account

[@fujster]

​@@marvin9860Maintaining that and his life style is prolly keeping him broke

[@MusiciansRule07]

Jason Nash did it to himself. He's old enough and has been in the industry long enough to know that Nothing Lasts Forever. He should've been saving money, selling the extravagant gifts and pocketing the profits, and hiring a financial advisor to keep his finances straight and to teach him how to be fiscally responsible. During his time with the Vlog Squad, he should've been networking outside of the pond he swam in and picked up skills such as Editing and Camerawork during the hours of helping (Enabling) David. Once it hit the fan (or rather Jeff hit the excavator), he should've spoken up against David, genuinely apologized to the people (Trisha, Seth...) he hurt and shown a backbone, opening the door to collab with people who still liked him/were indifferent to him while creating an identity as a solo Creator, cultivating a fanbase of his own. If all of that failed, he should've left the Internet, DOWNSIZED, and focused on acting or even gone to school, especially in the trades like HVAC or just being a stay at home dad. And left LA behind. Actors don't necessarily have to live in LA to make it and other cities have much lower costs of living. There was so much that he should've done but didn't and what truly keeps me from feeling bad for him is the ENTITLEMENT. The Entitlement is Gross and Real. Until he humbles himself and faces reality, I can't and won't feel bad for him. I feel bad for his wife and kids.

[@Mr.Wonderfool]

This. 100% accurate.

[@vivalanina]

he still acts like he's too elite for certain people, meanwhile he's begging children for cash

[@zachgarrett152]

I totally agree he should have been WAY better off when it all came to an end he clearly didn’t save a dime which for someone of his age w two kids is so crazy to me. Also agree what you said about if he spoke up about the accident and did the right thing but no he clung to David who dropped him the second he didn’t need him anymore. The fact that David can’t be bothered to do one podcast a week w Jason to set him up for success is INSANE to me. He is such a fucking narcissist. I hate David dobrik so much now. Pice of shit

I'm a late middle aged guy. If I wanted to start a KZbin channel, I'd target a niche that people are used to seeing older people in such as crafts, nature exploration, vintage collecting, etc. Jason's failure isn't one of age, it's one of imagination and self-acceptance. Dude could have a killer 50+ audience but he chose to be a lolcow for 15 year olds.

[@funnyguurl]

There are senior citizens who have created huge followings so just as you said, age is definitely not a factor. I'm also middle-aged and have thought about doing something regarding the history of fashion since I'm so enamored with it. The thing is, I'd do it as a hobby.

There's an older people popular for singing, some have gotten followings from asmr, many older folks got an audience from cooking/sharing recipes, etc. Hell, crafts communities usually value older people for skills! He'll have a smaller community/fanbase but he could do it if he had motivation

[@ginao6810]

Great point. Personally, I think he should take his experience to the corporate/management side of content creation. There are huge agencies in LA that manage and work with KZbinrs and TikTokers. Jason has first hand experience riding along side one of the most successful influencers ever (Dobrik). He has skills and knowledge to share. Go use them at an agency, collect a paycheck and a 401k. He could even still do social media on the side

[@missaniebananie6473]

He was a full on adult making $35,000 A MONTH and squandered all of it. He could have taken half of what he made every month into savings and been set for years. He could have invested 10% of his yearly earnings and probably been set for the rest of his life. I have 0 sympathy

Still NOT a defense of Jason but I don’t think we understand what actually having wealth is like or how investing works at that level of wealth. Most of all how hard it is to not spend more money when you suddenly start making a lot more money. The faster you get wealthy the worse you always seem to do, it’s like being a child star or something

I tend to be against people pathologizing public figures into something that is diagnosable - especially, things like sociopathy and narcissism. HOWEVER. In this instance, I 100% agree, with you. David is, most certainly, on the Cluster B spectrum, to some degree, for sure. And I, also, 100% agree.. He isn’t the kind of guy to retaliate to his enemies. He’s the kinda guy that doesn’t care, about his enemies (unless he has to protect himself and his assets). All the damage happens to the people closest to him - because he studies ‘em, and knows how to manipulate them. I don’t think David has deliberate bad intentions. He has a bottom line, and he is willing to use his friends to do whatever it takes, to achieve that bottom line. They are a means to an end. Whatever that takes. If anything, I’d say that would put him on the psychopathy spectrum - which, shouldn’t be conflated with sociopathy or narcissism (yes, co-morbidities exist, however, I don’t believe that’s the case, with David. He is far too calculated).

[@Merilly]

@@tkokflux6322 I disagree with you on the part that people are doing this because of his age. They're not. Few people appreciate people begging those who have way less than them for money, regardless of age. And the reason age is brought up at all is because he is using it as an argument against him getting a normal job like the rest of us to pay his bills. He is spinning the narrative that he is too old to even learn a new set of skills to get a job when in reality, he isn't. That does not mean I condone him getting harassed or swatted of course. He doesn't deserve that. But he does deserve the criticism he receives for now trying to leech off of other people who can't even make what he made in 2 months in a year. People are just not appreciative of those who've had much more success squandering their money and then begging people, mostly those on the young side who may never be able to even afford a house, for money. Other content creators at least provide content after those they stuck with for fame leave but he just begs for money. That deserves criticism because he isn't a poor, homeless person on the street who often don't even have the means to break out of it. But he does have means. He just doesn't want to downsize after no longer being able to uphold his previous living standard and kinda hopes he will find another stand in content creation. Which he could, but then he actually needs to produce content. At first, people tend to be sympathetic to people having lost their primary source of income. But that wanes when someone spends hours begging for money on TikTok instead of finding a job or actually trying to do something else than pointless antics. He could produce content but it seems he doesn't want to put in the effort. He could at least try to find something to do other than beg. It's not like older people can't be successful on KZbin nowadays. Heck, even some people in their 60s are sometimes starting channels doing what they like and finding decent or even a ton of success doing that.

Gotta say man, you really do have a unique flavour when it comes to your videos; the KZbin commentary meta has a "vibe" to it that it feels like a lot of people are gravitating to, making a lot of it feel "samey" - I don't get that feeling from your stuff. You're nuanced, you get into the weeds, you take things seriously, you're fairly charitable to everyone, you're harsh when you need to be but also compassionate when it's called for (often to the same person) - I don't know if anyone else has quite this mix. I also like that you seem to do your best to think for yourself - that can be difficult to do when it leads you to positions that differ from your in-group, and it feels like you actively work to avoid that bias. I've been trying to do that myself over the last few years, so maybe it's just projection (lol), but I feel like I can see some of that in your work. Always looking forward to more from you - keep up the great work my dude.

Thank you, that actually really means a lot

@@JimmyRobinsi couldn’t agree more with the comment above. i am so drawn to your content because your uniqueness- i think a big part is nuance and coming at things from varied perspectives.

Every time David uses someone, his tongue grows just a little bigger.

[@Nyxxeonn]

As much as I dislike David, this is not his responsibility. He already made Jason a shit ton of money through the vlogs only for Jason to flush that down the drain by being a shit spender. I could understand if he was becoming homeless or could no longer feed his kids that David could go help him out, but other than that, it's not up to him. Ofcourse the videos he makes, making fun of Jason are tasteless, but then Jason needs to just cut ties with him. It's not like he "needs" David, since that isn't helping him right now either.

[@Pepsimaaann]

The issue is that people like Jason usually want to keep their lifestyle and the comment of "there are many jobs around" doesn't actually work because that would mean downgrading their lifestyle and that's not an option for them

[@chunksofhistory]

Not just people like Jason. Everyone is like that. If you’re making $40/he, making $25/hr changes your whole lifestyle. If you’re making $100/hr, making 40/hr changes your lifestyle. When you’ve made promises to your kids to help out then through the best colleges you’re not gonna jump at the opportunity to make $25/hr

[@redizrad]

What's with his pretentious "what do you suggest I do?" Literally anything besides begging 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@Raetheforce]

Great video! I feel like Jason should have used his connections with David to do something further in comedy or entertainment. A hosting gig or recurring role on a sitcom. There are just too many other examples of people from the vlog squad taking the opportunity they were granted and moving forward with it.

[@JimmyRobins]

Well said. There's no way there isn't SOMETHING that Jason could get via his connections, so I found it off-putting that he laughed at Zach for trying to acknowledge other options

[@DollHair]

[@jenniferrowland4985]

I’ve never watched a video of yours before but I have to say this was one of that most well researched videos I’ve seen in a while. Please keep making videos! The effort does not go unnoticed.

[@witchyix]

holy shit those clips at the end of him in pain and begging for a whole actual snake to be taken off him while being filmed right up in his face just sent me into a panic attack i did not see that coming

[@creategenius719]

Great video! Since you spoke about the Vlog Squad in this one, it would be interesting if you did a video on how Garrett Watts and Andrew Siwicki have maintained their unproblematic personas. They used to hang out with the Vlog Squad, Andrew used to date Gabbie Hanna, and both were heavily associated with Shane Dawson. Considering all of that, it's impressive that neither of them has been dragged down by anyone's cancellation.

[@kaydiglawson7767]

They ditched Shane fast, thinking it would save them. Now, they make so many cringy videos together.

[@Solangege]

Really liked the video. Was surprised about your ending remark about disregarding how Jason treated Trish due to her online presence. Basically everything that she has said about their situation has been consistent over time and supported by other individuals. I wouldn’t consider myself a fan but an internet consumer, and I am pretty sure Trish’s takes on this aren’t as polarizing as people perceive they would be based on her past image.

[@serafina7924]

your videos are so high quality, it's really refreshing. I always cheer you on when I see them getting views.

[@eCodEyTube]

Just a nit pick here, but to say, "unlike Jason, David already made his fortune," is an outrageous statement after saying Jason was making $35k a month for several years. Imho, Jason DID make his fortune. He just wasted it all away. If I made as much as Jason I'd have invested it and would die before I ran out of money. But that's just my two cents.

[@LolaOpheliac]

Jason has always been a colossal loser so I’m not surprised by this. Thankfully his ex-wife is the polar opposite so their kids have at least one parent that’s an actually responsible adult.

[@shir-fw3zm]

I can understand Jason's hesitance to pursue menial work due to ego and embarrassment while coming from a high position. The problem though is he believes that getting rich by applying zero personal wisdom and effort is a commendable work to achieve such height. He thinks that menial work is stooping down to low standards, when in actuality he stooped even further below than that.

[@amelie_g]

Honestly the way he treated Trisha showed his true colors. I’m glad she found Moses ❤

[@meganscott5171]

Moses isn't great either. I think a few years ago he was under investigation for assaulting fans of the podcast she was on

[@daracompere2037]

Trisha Paytas also abused him too lol. How delusional

[@mutantmonkey2301]

He (Moses) flirtet with Fans and bragged about being Hilas Brother and the Starter for the Podcast also he removed the condom during sex wich the girl was extremely shocked and upset to find out. She reached out to Ethan and Hila but they did not care then. Also he wrote that girl that Trishas 🐱 stinks

[@EthanT52718]

great vid already! i always thought it was weird that someone of Jason's age was hanging out with David Dobrik, and wondered why it lasted so long. I wish he would get a non-social media job to save face, he looks SO desparate.

[@JimmyRobins]

Thank you! And yeah, even within entertainment, I feel like there's gotta be some work for Jason. So I don't get the claims that there just isn't

[@alexanderklepp]

Interesting how Jason guest starred on Drake and Josh and would later work with David Dobrik who has worked with Josh Peck.

they're begging for cash from children on tik tok while comfortably sitting at home doing nothing, it still comes off just as desperate as an unemployed person on the street. At least homeless people have humility and hope.

I don’t even understand when Jason gets the opportunity to spend his money because he is on live so often. He’s never not been live, anytime I checked. Even checked right now and he’s live

[@NemesisOgreKing]

The James Rolf mentality where they don't feel legit unless they make it in Hollywood.

[@D_YellowMadness]

I have no respect for adults who look at modern Hollywood & think "I wanna be one of them." 0 chance they're good people. Especially if they have kids.

[@SaltNBattery]

These exposes about this guy are wild. He's probably making well over $100k a year and people are acting like they just spotted him begging for change on the offramp.

[@fangal12]

I think the algorithm directed me to your video after watching Danny Gonzalez 's recent video about Jason Nash but I like that you pointed out the same thing I said. While the Tik Tok panhandling is undignified it's waaaaaayyyy less scummy than the crypto/guru scams the Paul brothers have engaged in. He clearly didn't plan for the future financially and didn't have a plan for his career after the vlog squad. He's a very good cautionary tale for anyone in the creator/influencer space

[@John-Doe-Yo]

Or he's just lying, has no shame, and is doing just fine.

[@fangal12]

@@John-Doe-Yo while that's a possibility it's also unsupported speculation. There's a tendency online to just make up a narrative with nothing to back it up so I don't really engage in that

[@AntiVectorTV]

"You used to be able to hit this and ask for anything you wanted." Ironically sums up his entire career.

[@letmethink8350]

I just remember thinking he was Nash Grier's dad when he first popped up on Vine. Was weird seeing him years later on KZbin with David Dobrik.

[@Disre.damn.spectful]

The reason I don’t feel bad is because David has shown his friends who he was and how he’d handle a friend in need but Jason is like “but he’s my friend, he wouldn’t do that” while being stabbed/ seeing Jason stab others in the back.

[@Michaelengelmann]

“While said close friend could end your suffering at anytime” 😂

[@carlamoss89]

Jason fumbled so many bags, he honestly looks depressed now. But also, rich people "broke" and regular people "broke" are two different things. I'll feel bad when he doesn't have a nice house in LA or drive a new Tesla from sitting on his phone all day.

[@ravenheitz]

I know railroaders and oil workers who do doordash/skip in their spare time. We're all a minute away from poverty but especially people that are in a job as finite as social media.

[@appalachiabrauchfrau]

if he invested that vlog squad money wisely he could live off of it but... ??? I am stumped why he didn't. At least put some away in a roth on your own my man, you're old enough to know better.

I completely agree with your perspective about this and something you said at the end really stuck out to me. Even though David owes Jason nothing, if he decided to give him money and bail him out of losing his house, Jason would expect it again in the future.

I know this video is about David dobrik but I can't help but laugh at the snippet of Logan Paul using Dobrik's plight to prop himself up on some moral high ground when he said that any ounce of sympathy he has is for David's victims. Like Logan Paul gives TWO SH*TS or has ANY empathy for victims.

[@Corvy952]
