Reception

Tana Mongeau winning the Audience Choice Award for Creator of the Year proved controversial and was criticized by other creators such as Keemstar, Jake and Logan Paul, and PewDiePie, with many believing that the award should have gone to YouTuber MrBeast who had raised $20 million to plant trees through his Team Trees initiative that year.[20][21][22][23]
