Popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee is facing another commenter backlash after the ‘Panels’ debacle earlier this year. He has put out a video titled ‘How My Video Gear is Changing!’ on his YouTube channel and it involves a fully-sponsored segment for DJI, which is unlike what he usually does, that is, independent reviews.The video contained a clip of him driving a sports car way over the speed limit on a suburban road. There was criticism of him running the sponsored segment and then for going over the speed limit.

“This can’t even be considered a sponsored video anymore. It’s literally just a ten-minute advertisement,” reads one comment with more than 12,000 likes.

The YouTuber had to respond after editing the video to remove the clip of him speeding. It had originally shown him exceeding 95 miles per hour in a 35 miles per hour zone and even going past a sign on the road warning drivers to slow down for children.Later, he posted on X/Twitter that he has cut out the “unnecessary driving clip” and that he “hears everyone’s feedback on sponsored videos”.

This is the second backlash against Brownlee this year. In late September, he was criticised for launching an expensive wallpaper app and he was once again forced to address the situation and make changes to the app.
