Good sources for incorporation

Happened across an 8,000 word expose on Dobrik in Rolling Stone, published June 23, 2021. Looks like it has a lot of good info that could benefit this article.

Rolling Stone: "David Dobrik Was the King of YouTube. Then He Went Too Far." (June 23, 2021) by EJ Dickson. Rolling Stone. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/david-dobrik-youtube-vlog-squad-profile-1185706/ (accessed August 20, 2021)

Looks like there are another few articles from highly reputable sources that should definitely be incorporated...

WSJ Magazine: "Meet David Dobrik, Gen Z’s Jimmy Fallon" (March 12, 2020) by Myles Tanzer. WSJ Magazine. https://www.wsj.com/articles/david-dobrik-interview-youtube-liza-fallon-vlog-11584028115 (accessed August 20, 2021)

Los Angeles Times. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2021-06-17/david-dobrik-is-back-on-youtube-months-after-vlog-squad-rape-allegation (accessed August 20, 2021)

And it looks like there's one more source that's used just once in the article to support a narrow fact, and could be used to reliably fold in additional information about Dobrik: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrinkydinks (talk • contribs)
