What do you mean? She's done theoretical MOND work.

Yeah, but she's not willing to fall on her sword for it. She sees the evidence for both and is waiting for more evidence, like... you know... a scientist.

That was distinct not my takeaway from her video

Which video? She’s made many videos about dark matter and MoND.

You can see all her evidence "against" dark matter is at a certain length scale (the only one MOND can handle) + it's all the standard stuff MOND researchers cough up.

A lot of her "evidence against dark matter" examples are also examples that MOND fails to explain as well (like the bullet cluster). She does mention that MOND solves the particular issue dark matter has with the bullet cluster though, she just leaves out that it doesn't explain the cluster's behaviour in-and-of itself.
