Marques Brownlee is dealing with another commenter backlash. Fans of Brownlee are furious that his latest video<\/a>, titled \u201cHow My Video Gear is Changing!\u201d on the MKBHD YouTube channel, is a fully sponsored segment for DJI,\u00a0rather than an editorially independent review. The video also contained a clip of Brownlee driving a sports car way over the speed limit on a suburban road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Commenters have flooded the video with criticism, calling out Brownlee for running the sponsored segment. \u201cThis can\u2019t even be considered a sponsored video anymore. It\u2019s literally just a ten minute advertisement,\u201d reads one comment with more than 12,000 likes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In response, Brownlee edited the video to remove the clip of him speeding. It had originally shown<\/a> him exceeding 95 miles per hour in a 35 miles per hour zone and speeding past a sign on the road warning drivers to slow down for children. Brownlee pinned his own comment on the video this afternoon, saying he cut out the \u201cunnecessary driving clip\u201d and that he \u201chears everyone\u2019s feedback on sponsored videos.\u201d He then posted an acknowledgment and apology on X<\/a> saying it was \u201cabsolutely inexcusable and dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Brownlee has increasingly been expanding beyond his traditional YouTube videos. He\u2019s worked on physical products, like his Atoms shoes collaborations, and he joined the board at wallet maker Ridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
