“I like Annie! She seems cool and like someone I could hang out with. I like that she covers a wide variety of cases here and on her YT channel. I discovered a lot of cases I’ve never heard about from listening to her.
There are issues though. my biggest pet peeve in true crime breakdowns is when people use overly long chunks of video or sound clips - think news clips, courtroom/police interrogation footage. That’s definitely an issue for me here and it’s irritating. I’ve cut out of so many of her videos because of it. I think she needs to get better about singling out quick and concise soundbytes instead of playing anywhere between 5-20 minutes worth of interview footage several times per case. It makes her videos and episodes feel disjointed and unnecessarily bloated.
Also sometimes the “true crime bestie!” and “math ain’t mathin” vibe feels really out of place considering the subject matter. I don’t hold it against her too much because I like the personality and levity it brings and for the most part I think she takes these cases seriously. but there are times it just feels inappropriate and cringy when we’re talking about horrific murders. Advertising merch with her silly little sayings on it in her videos makes it even worse.
She posts a TON of videos - it seems like there’s one every day sometimes. I personally think she could focus a little bit more on the quality of her videos/episodes instead of the quantity in which she posts then. After a while it feels like a content churn more than anything. I’m okay waiting longer per video if it means a well-researched case, correct pronunciations of names, words, and locations, and more concise outside media used.”
