David Devore Jr.’s dad told BuzzFeed News profits from the sale will help fund college tuition for his two sons.
The father and son are working with an NFT creator program called Views — founded by Jukin Media and Night Media, a video licensing company and talent management company, respectively — to sell the unique assets of the viral video to the highest bidder. Views will take a cut of sale but would not reveal the percentage to BuzzFeed News.
David Jr. is now a 20-year-old student who just finished his second year at the University of Florida, where he's pursuing a degree in computer science. He told BuzzFeed News he seldom gets recognized now because he's, well, all grown up. But when one person on campus, or at his church, discovers he is David of"David After Dentist," the news spreads quickly and he once again becomes a niche celebrity.
His dad said he and his wife Tessie were initially worried about the uncontrollable viral attention they received. But in hindsight, they felt lucky that people on the internet were relatively kind and"positive.""When it happened, our first concern was not about us. My wife and I, we wanted to know if people were making fun of David," David Sr. said about the early days of going viral.
