Despite Pansino’s apology, a section of followers have expressed dissatisfaction with her conduct, criticizing her for launching a new music video amidst the controversy and for endorsing posts critical of MrBeast’s fan base.

The legitimacy of the editing in the contentious video is still under question.

Why It Matters: The controversy was triggered by Pansino's accusation that MrBeast had dishonestly edited her out of the top three in the $1 million Creator Games 3 competition.

Pansino, a prominent YouTuber with 14.5 million subscribers, alleged that MrBeast, the biggest YouTuber on the platform, had not only lied but also unfairly edited out the only female participant in the contest.
