MKBHD Criticized for Speeding at 96mph in 35mph Zone During Sponsored Video

Marques Brownlee, known by his online alias MKBHD, has found himself at the center of controversy after a recent video showed him speeding at 96mph in a 35mph zone. The incident occurred during the filming of a sponsored video, which has sparked widespread criticism online.

The video in question reveals Brownlee driving at a significantly excessive speed, particularly alarming given the presence of a “slow for children” sign in the area. The speedometer on the driver’s side was blurred, but it remained visible on the passenger side, making the attempt to hide the speeding evident but unsuccessful.

The community has reacted strongly to this incident, with many expressing disappointment and concern over Brownlee’s judgment. This is not the first time he has faced criticism, as he was recently involved in a controversy related to the Panels wallpaper app.

The incident highlights issues of responsibility and safety, especially when influencers and content creators have large followings and significant influence. Brownlee’s actions have been described as “baffling decision-making” and a “lack thereof” by some of his critics.
