The first, in September 2020, involved an incident with YouTuber Emirichu where Smith's response to her request for proper credit was initially negative, although the issue was later resolved privately, and the thumbnail was subsequently altered. In another instance, on February 5, 2021, Smith received criticism for using Flamingo's thumbnail without appropriate permissions. Subsequently, after returning from a one-week break due to a wrist injury, a Sims 4 reaction video uploaded on March 4, 2021, drew attention due to the utilization of a character belonging to LaurenzSide in the video's thumbnail. This issue was also resolved privately and there was no further backlash.
