by

As a long-time follower of MKBHD, I must admit that I was taken aback by his recent antics. Being a tech YouTuber with such a vast following, I always looked up to him as someone who sets an example in both technology and responsible behavior. However, the speeding incident in his latest video left me feeling let down.

Notable tech vlogger Marques Brownlee (also known as MKBHD) is currently facing online backlash after a recent video he posted. In this video, MKBHD was caught speeding in a zone that had a designated vehicle speed limit. Following the incident, many social media users have criticized him for his actions. Since then, MKBHD has issued an apology for his behavior.

Without further ado, here are all the details of MKBHD’s video and it aftermath.

YouTuber MKBHD faces backlash for his recent video

MKBHD recently posted a video on his YouTube channel, in which he was speeding his car.

In the previously mentioned video, titled “How My Video Equipment is Evolving!”, it was observed after its release that MKBHD was cruising his Lamborghini at 96 mph. However, sharp-eyed viewers spotted a sign indicating that the zone’s maximum speed limit is actually 36 mph. Additionally, a caution sign in the video advised drivers to be mindful as children are present in the vicinity. (Paraphrased from Dexerto)

After MKBHD sped excessively in his video, viewers expressed strong disapproval and he decided to eliminate that section from the video. In addition, he acknowledged their concerns about sponsored content by saying, “I’ve removed an unnecessary driving clip from the video. I understand your feedback regarding sponsored videos as well.

Later on his social media platform (previously known as Twitter), MKBHD issued an apology to his followers. He stated, “In my last video, I made a foolish mistake. Some of you might have seen it, while others may not have. I’m addressing it here. The footage contained an action cam clip of me testing a car and driving way too fast. This was absolutely reckless and dangerous. I’ve removed this segment from the video using YouTube’s editing tool. I acknowledge that removing it could appear as an attempt to hide it, but I believe it was the correct action.

In the end, the YouTuber expressed his apology, saying, “I can only offer my sincere apologies and assure you that such a foolish act will never happen again.
