The American vlogger faced backlash online after accusing India of being “dirty, dishonest, and noisy” in a viral video while traveling from the airport to his hotel. He previously uploaded a YouTube video titled “I went back to India…it still sucks” and claimed he wanted to “avoid India like the plague,” but ended up visiting due to a layover. Multiple autorickshaw drivers initially refused his fares before one agreed to take him to his hotel, and the full clip shows him avoiding street debris and lamenting the presence of “human feces” along the road. Upon reaching his hotel, he commented on the cleanliness of the property but noted a non-functioning light. He reiterated that he did not want to return to India, insisting the trip was only for a layover. The hotel arrival prompted responses accusing him of dishonesty and seeking views for monetization, with critics arguing layovers usually don’t require exiting the airport. The controversy spurred a flurry of reactions from social media users questioning his credibility and intent.
