One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "I have never heard anything bad about Markiplier." Another user criticized Klein, saying, "Ethan has not done anything but whine for years. He’s so toxic."

Some users speculated that Klein's reaction stemmed from frustration or jealousy, especially given Markiplier's larger following and widespread popularity. "Mark had more popularity than Ethan.
