MKBHD Faces Backlash for speeding 96 mph on 35 mph road in Video


In his latest video, Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee also known as MKBHD is facing backlash as he goes over 95 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour zone.

Viewers expressed disappointment, with many comments criticizing the video as more of a lengthy ad than authentic content, with one comment stating, “This can't even be considered a sponsored video anymore.It's literally just a ten - minute advertisement.” Fans quickly took to the comments to condemn this risky behavior, especially given that he sped past a sign advising drivers to slow down for children. This incident marks the second backlash against Brownlee in recent months, following criticism in September over the launch of his expensive wallpaper app.With fans increasingly critical of his sponsored ventures, Brownlee has been prompted to reevaluate his approach as he expands beyond traditional tech reviews.He issued a formal apology on social media, calling his speeding clip "inexcusable and dangerous," but the incident has fueled ongoing discussions about transparency and responsibility in content creation.
