It's one thing to go "I think your theory is wrong, here's what my theory is." It's a whole other thing to pop onto someone's AMV - or even go to their Twitter! - and start yelling at them to either take the AMV down or change it because it's "spreading false information."

It... it's... an AMV... It's supposed to be for fun... An AMV is not spreading false info. That's like if I went to one of my favorite RWBY shipping AMVs and started yelling that it's "spreading false info" because it depicts White Rose or something.

Honestly, this specific case was sort of a different flavor of the usual "I'm mad at you for having a different theory/headcanon than me" aggression that we get. Particularly, it's a Soarel flavor of "My theory is absolutely canon, and you are spreading misinformation by saying anything different than my theory." Regardless of the fact that it's a different flavor, it's still a type of toxicity and harassment that people tend to face in this fandom.

So what if MOB made a Sacrifice AMV about Salem instead of Cinder? Move on and watch a different AMV or maybe make your own. Really, MOB's Salem AMV using episode 3 was really well-done, and he applied the episode pretty smoothly to the song. Sucks that some people had to create drama over it.
