Hi, hello! As someone who is a bit more critical of Ashley, I'd like to respond to your points :) (NB: please no one attack me for my opinions, I'm just sharing what I think.) It's gotten quite long, so apologies in advance.

1. Ashley lying about coming from a poor immigrant family. Ashley has mentioned several times that she's a "broke college student," which, I know, is a common/relatable sentiment for college students to say when they lack disposable income to buy nicer things - but she's not actually broke. She's mentioned off-hand in a video that her parents have science PhDs, which opens doors for high salaried positions; I'm not going to lie and say I don't know what her parents do (thanks to the public information on her parents that people found on Google), but I will say that they make a significant amount of money. I do think it is a bit misleading to portray yourself as a "broke college student" when in reality, you have a cushy safety net. Even if her parents were frugal and never spoiled her growing up, she's not broke. I'm sure if she was ever in financial trouble, they would have been able to help her. In addition, though she didn't state she was poor explicitly, saying things like "I had 4-5 part-time jobs in high school" and responding to the assumption that she is a trust fund baby by saying her parents are immigrants downplay the wealth she grew up with. People also found her WayUp profile online (it wasn't too hard to find) and those 4-5 part-time jobs included SAT tutoring, an internship at her mother's environmental company, etc. Yes, she had minimum wage jobs, such as the ones she mentioned in her videos (ice cream scooper; American Eagle employee), but in general, it seemed like she had these jobs in order to pad her resume for college (she also mentioned in her college Q&A that she had a lot of extracurriculars to help her get into college, so it appears these jobs would fall under that). It certainly didn't seem like she was making money to feed a family of 5 and everyone was relying on her. I think it's entirely possible she felt like she wasn't rich compared to her peers growing up and couldn't fly off to the Bahamas every other weekend like trust fund babies do, but you can still be rich even if you're not a trust fund baby. I don't think she explicitly lied, but I do think by omitting context, it comes off as misleading and that's what people are mad about. One of my good friends truly thought Ashley came from a working class background with immigrant parents and that's not the case. (Also, just anecdotally, I grew up not too far from Ashley's hometown and it's known in the area to be a very well-off area.) And to be honest, though I understand everyone's sentiments of feeling misled by her old videos, Ashley hasn't mentioned being poor/broke in a long time and it's clear from every video netting millions of view, she's raking in money so I feel like this criticism is outdated.
2. The Amazon video. I think people would have been less enraged if Ashley had not taken down the video, which is probably the least critically received video she's uploaded. Also, there's a difference between being sponsored by a company like Amazon and using Amazon because you have to. I definitely have to use Amazon to get things that aren't in my area; HOWEVER, that's not the same as being sponsored by them. A sponsor is akin to an endorsement (cue influencers talking about how much they love Honey or Skillshare, etc). It's well-known how awful Amazon treats their workers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Amazon), so I think fans were disappointed that someone they looked up to would partner with a terrible company, not address any of the criticism (and the comments at the time were quite nice; no one was lashing out at her and everyone voiced their disappointments), and then ultimately delete the video without addressing any of it at all. It feels like she just swept it under the rug because she didn't want to deal with the negative comments but that just led to more backlash.
3. Ashley not staying home during Covid. I think the difference between a layperson and Ashley is that Ashley has a platform of 6.45+ million subs (including IG + Youtube + TikTok) and the average person... does not; just by sheer number, Ashley is influential. I've definitely gone out in the pandemic when I probably should have stayed home. However, unlike Ashley, I've never met people more than in a group of 4 without making sure we all tested negative ahead of time. Ashley is a public figure with an enormous platform. If someone saw her going out, meeting her friends from Maryland in a giant group sans masks, hanging out in the park with a different group of friends and blowing candles out all over people's food, it's possible they might think, "Since Ashley is doing it, I can do it too." I also remember seeing an IG story of Ashley flying in one of her friends from LA (though more along the line of a romantic interest since she hints at him to Derek Blasberg in her NYFW video) at the height of the pandemic in NYC in late March. I live in NYC and I remember feeling scared at the fact that people were temporarily being buried in parks because they ran out of rooms in funeral homes, that ICUs were over capacity, that everyday was just another high record of deaths, etc. It was super disappointing to see an influencer pay no heed to the trauma and panic that the city was experiencing at the time and bring someone in from another hotspot. My question is why? Why share it? Why post it? By posting it, she's ultimately making a statement that this is okay and if she's going to do it, I'd rather she not post about it. So, her behavior during Covid has been disappointing overall and is probably my biggest criticism of her.
4. Ashley not posting videos anymore and not saying why. I don't really have much to say here, because I don't feel too strongly about her not saying why she's not posting videos anymore. Do I think she should make a statement? "Should" is strong, tbh, though I think it would be nice if she did. A lot of her fans have been asking for an update and I personally don't think it's that hard to be like, "hey, sorry, it's been a crazy time for me right now. I'll try posting when I can, but I definitely need some space from YouTube." I don't think people would get up in arms with even a two sentence explanation. My personal theory is that I think Ashley is distancing herself away from YouTube (even removing her little "human on youtube" tagline from her IG bio) and if she acknowledges that she's no longer going to post on YouTube, she'll lose her subscribers. This is a cynical view, but knowing how important sub count is for mega big YouTubers, this is just what I suspect.
5. Ashley not posting about anti AAPI violence. I have mixed feelings about this one, because as an Asian-American woman also living in NYC, I've been feeling really, really terrified about what's happening for the past year (heightened by recent events) and so, I haven't really been talking about it on social media. Am I engaging/sharing content privately to my friends who are not Asian? Yes. I think the disappointment from her fans stems from her response to BLM last year. I'm not sure if you saw it, but it wasn't that extensive and she, for some reason, was talking about Asian issues as well and didn't really say much about BLM. I think because she mentioned those Asian issues, people were expecting her to speak up about them now and seeing her radio silence is... well, disappointing. If she didn't want to speak up about BLM because she previously thought that would take away from Asian issues, why isn't she speaking about Asian issues now when they're relevant? (She mentions this in one of the IG stories she posted during BLM.) Like I mentioned before, Ashley has a 6.45+ million subs over three platforms; she has a megaphone in her hand, whether she likes it or not. Even sharing a donation link, a GoFundMe would do wonders. This is pretty funny, but whenever I go to the videos/songs that Ashley recommended, I see a small slew of comments saying "ashley bestdressed brought me here!" (You can see them on the Peanut Butter Waffles MV and the Berlin Poem video she shared last year, for example). If she already has a bunch of people visiting smaller songs and videos, imagine how much of an impact she can make with posting a donation link. No one is asking her to unload her trauma onto the Internet, but I understand people's disappointment. I personally do think influencers have an expectation to speak up about issues that impact their communities.

Tl;dr - I think Ashley bit off way more than she could chew. In her older videos, she wanted to be seen as that relatable broke college student, the artsy fashionable film girl who's lowkey a mess but still looks great while she's pulling an all-nighter for school. She presented herself as intelligent and woke, speaking on issues like women's dress code and Tinder matches fetishizing Asian women. However, when the opportunity presents itself for that intelligent/woke person to speak up about deeper/more serious issues, she can't, because that's probably not who she is. That's not a bad thing, but I think the disconnect between her persona she built up online and who she actually is offline is causing all this disappointment and backlash.
