Zane Hijazi

What happened to Zane Hijazi? Why did Zane Hijazi stop posting?

Zane Hijazi moved from vlogging to podcasting, and as of November 2026 he still hosts Zane and Heath: Unfiltered every week. He told Tubefilter in November 2021 that he lost interest in vlogging in 2019 and stopped because he felt his vlogs were not “good enough,” or that people “didn’t care what I would have to say.” In the same piece Hussar said creators feel pressure to do “crazier and crazier things.” The podcast launched in September 2019 and grew out of Coffee Talks, a recurring bit on his channel, per Insider. His YouTube channel lists 273 videos, per Social Blade. The Unfiltered feed on Apple Podcasts runs from 2019 to 2026 with 358 episodes, the newest released in the second week of November 2026. He is also one of four hosts of Basically Unfiltered, a weekly crossover with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz of the Pretty Basic podcast, which lists 79 episodes on Pocket Casts.

Is Zane Hijazi still in the Vlog Squad? Is he still friends with David Dobrik?

Zane Hijazi has not announced leaving the Vlog Squad or a falling out with David Dobrik, in anything we could source as of November 2026, and the group has no official member list. What is public: Insider counted him as an integral member in March 2021, Dobrik joined the photo shoot for his 100th video and called him his best friend in a 2018 vlog title, per Tubefilter, and his weekly podcast partner is still fellow Vlog Squad member Heath Hussar. When Dobrik returned to weekly vlogs in January 2025, Tubefilter named Natalie Noel and Ilya Fedorovich as his travel companions, not Hijazi. We could not source a recent video of the two together, so we do not say how often they see each other. Within the group, he was one of the friends who helped get Jeff Wittek to shore after Wittek’s June 2020 excavator accident on a Vlog Squad shoot, per Insider.

Why is Zane Hijazi famous?

Zane Hijazi is famous for three things in order: Vines with Heath Hussar, years as a regular in David Dobrik’s Vlog Squad vlogs, and the Unfiltered podcast. Famous Birthdays credits his own channel, Zane Hijazi, with more than 3.3 million subscribers. The podcast’s YouTube channel had about 941,000 subscribers and about 5.5 million monthly views in July 2021, per Tubefilter, and in May 2020 Spotify chose Unfiltered as the first show in its test of native video podcasts, per Tubefilter.

How does Zane Hijazi make money? How much does he make?

Zane Hijazi makes most of his public income from the Unfiltered podcast, through host-read ads, plus a Patreon and the coffee brand he co-owns with Heath Hussar. Tubefilter reported in January 2020, citing Business Insider, that the podcast’s distributor HiStudios sold $600,000 in ads in the show’s first three months, with sponsors like HelloFresh, Dollar Shave Club and Away, and that the pair had not earned much from ad revenue on their own channels. In July 2021 UTA arranged a multi-year ad sales deal for the show with Audioboom, per Tubefilter. In November 2021 they opened a Patreon with tiers from $5 to $20 a month. Their coffee brand, Kramoda, opened pre-orders on December 8, 2020 and its first stock sold out within seven hours, per Tubefilter. He has not published his earnings.

What is the Zane Hijazi controversy?

Zane Hijazi has not been the subject of an allegation in an accepted outlet that we could find; the controversy people connect him with is the 2021 Vlog Squad scandal. In March 2021 Insider reported allegations against David Dobrik and Vlog Squad member Dom Zeglaitis, and its rundown of members names none against Hijazi. The one dispute on the record is a business one: Tubefilter reported in November 2021 that a dispute with a former Kramoda business partner delayed the pair’s Patreon, and that the brand had since relaunched under their control. We found no report of an arrest in a major news outlet.

If that changes, this entry will say so.
