Huge YouTuber Caught Recklessly Speeding

Marques Brownlee, one of the biggest tech YouTuber's on the website, has recently been called out for speeding in a video that he recently uploaded, going almost three times the speed limit. Buckle up.

He's rich enough to hire a racetrack, or close roads off to film. No excuses for this.

[darkshinobi]

I don’t understand how this even happened, there’s so much wrong
1. Why is he speeding
2. Why in child caution zone
3. How did his video editor not catch the second speed? He blurred the main speedometer but not the one on the passenger side?
All of these mistakes are all his fault and totally stupid 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ smh 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

A girl at my college was killed on impact and dragged hundreds of feet when a guy did 70 through the pedestrian crosswalk in a 35mph zone. And Marques was doing 90?? He is extremely lucky that nobody was crossing the road, or that he didn't lose control of his car. After driving past a memorial full of flowers and candles for a girl who had her whole life ahead of her every day, I have zero patience for people who drive recklessly like this. It's NOT WORTH IT.

I will unsubscribe him. I lost my child from a speeding car in a school zone. Hate this type of people.

The content creators ruining their reputation is 2024 summarized.

I dont understand why someone like this, who is rich, can't just rent or reserve a race track where they can go as fast as they want, and instead chose to pull this in a residential area.

[WokeUpScreaming]

Imagine having the cushiest job in the entire world and not doing everything in your power to make sure you don't screw it up. Absolute madness.

[sleeplessarcher]

The reason people are pissed about the video being an ad is that Marques has branded himself on being this big honest tech reviewer who won’t let any sponsorships or gifts influence his reviews, and yet this entire video feels like one big ad. It’s a direct contradiction to everything he stood for

[adamkish]

The whole 'going so fast he could have killed a child' part of this story has actually helped hide the backlash that this video was just a 9 minute advert that completely destroys his credibility as a genuine review channel and something he has spoken out against doing very vehemently in the past.

[SirAsdf]

If I were the camera brand who sponsored him, I'd be beyond furious that he not only included footage of him committing a crime in the video, but also the fact he'd recorded it on the camera THEY PAID HIM TO PROMOTE

[AnotherYoubue]

I find it extremely ironic that the people who could afford $300k+ cars cant afford a day at the track……..or maybe they just don’t care.

[Hamsteak]

That's hilarious that in their editing, they forgot to blur out the other speedometer

[lonelyPorterCH]

He knew he was speeding, thats why he blurred it

No "I'm sorry for my mistake" will fix that, he did it on purpose

My issue with YouTube sponsorships is the following:
- Recently YouTube has gotten greedier. Back in the day, I would get one commercial break at most, which was skip able after 5 seconds
Now this is no longer the case. I would get 2-3 commercial breaks for a 15 min long video, with 2 or sometimes 3 commercials, many of which cant be skipped after 5 seconds, and force you to watch the full commercial
So hearing a sponsorship on top of the commercial is really annoying
Also, it makes youtuber look greedy, for getting both the add revenue and a sponsorship on top of that

[shadowdecidueye]

It.... Can't was never a fan, but I respected the man. He seemed.... Reputable...

[Yash-]

I don't think so people generally hate sponsored videos but in case of MKBHD, it was that the man had this whole thing going on as the, “Most Honest Tech Reviewer” or someone who people genuinely looked upto and I believe he didn't do sponsorships but now when he did it, it's kinda like it chips away a tiny bit from his whole persona.
Earlier you could with full certainty trust the guy now you might wonder can I actually fully trust him on this?

I know it sounds rather extreme, but as a man commented on that video about “there was this line that Marquees wouldn't cross but now that line is kinda blurred!”

[JohnnyHikesSW]

If you want to go 95, fine. Go 95 in the left lane on a 3 lane section of an interstate at like 2 AM. Don't do it on a city road.

[gownerjones]

I honestly feel like an apology isn't enough in this case. People like Marques, who just casually, without putting much thought into it, accept the actual annihilation of a child or any other person, need to relinquish their license. These sorts of people have no business going on public roads or participating in traffic. The fact that he won't see ANY consequences from this legally makes me so angry. If he has any integrity left, he will turn in his license and hand Auto Focus to someone who drives responsibly until he has taken some time to seriously re-evaluate his choices and actions.

If you are as clean as a whistle, then even the tiniest bit of dirt seems like a mountain.
