Ashley 278 the eye-rolling hypocrite that knocked out Trey on the Glass Bridge. Squid Game Challenge

Squid Game: The Challenge - a compilation edit of Ashley (player #278) being a selfish and hypocritical gaslighter... before karma hits back and knocks her out.
Plus, the highlights of how Ashley Tolbert (Atlanta, GA) - a Smith College graduate and civil rights investigator - infuriatingly managed to play the victim and somehow gaslighted everyone else into thinking Mai (player #287) was the villain (after Mai was the only one to call out Ashley's selfish behavior and lack of teamwork).
Most of the footage is from the infamous Glass Bridge scene where she refused to overtake Trey (player #301) resulting in him being eliminated after taking three jumps. When Ashley eventually takes her 50-50 jump, she refuses to take another jump and insists that others overtake her. The video also includes the interactions from the next day, when Mai calls Ashley out during the Dice Game for not being a team player.The third part of the video shows the next game, the Circle of Trust, with the clips focusing on Mai and Ashley.
Ashley is probably the most polarizing Squid Game player of Season one (as I found out in the comments). While the majority of commenters agreed with me -- that she deserves to be condemned for her behavior and actions on screen -- a surprising number of people have vehemently defended her as well.
But I'd like to hear specifically why people like or don't like her.
Was it a smart and strategic decision to "not go along with the plan" as the #5 position on the Glass Bridge? ("but it's not a team game and it's for $4.5 million, y'all!"). What did you think when she finally made her single 50-50% jump and then told the players behind her to overtake her?
And what did you think when Ashley said that she was "shocked" that Mai accused her of not being a team player (and she defended herself as being all about working together as a team)?
Even if it's "not a team sport", was Ashley hypocritical for refusing to overtake Trey and then demanding that players behind her step up and overtake her? What about the next day, when Ashley accused Mai of not being a team player because Mai nominated her during the Dice Game? What did you think about the other players reacted during the whole thing?
I know there are a lot of dissenting opinions so don't hold back.. let's hear it in the comments!
