Why Did MKBHD Start His YouTube Journey?
MKBHD in an interview with Decoder revealed his reason to start a YouTube channel when he was a teenager. Brownlee was always into tech since his high school. In his teenage, he had to make a big purchase, that is he had to buy a laptop. So, he watched a “whole bunch of YouTube videos on which laptop to buy.”
When he finally bought the laptop, he was surprised to see some stuff with the laptop that was not seen in those videos he watched. So, his “natural response” was to turn on a webcam and “talk about things, and upload it to YouTube, just in case someone else was watching videos to choose what to buy.”
