Hannah Ricketts

The face today (she’s reviewing KFC) is really weird it’s as though she’s transposed her head over a different body.

Spoiler: she doesn’t like KFC!

What is that thumbnail?! Why is her head so out of proportion? Its like the Queen of Hearts in the Alice in wondered remake

 

[JulesWake]

She's never had KFC (calling BS on another lie), yet been to Disney Florida who knows how many times. She's a proven liar, so I suppose the KFC vlog is to hopefully gain more subs.

 

[emm]

Doesn't she work jn marketing or advertising or something? Probably very good at knowing her audience if so I guess

 

[JulesWake]

Why would anyone on earth need a review of Greggs?! Especially from someone who usually does 5 star hotel reviews. Everyone knows what it is, get yerself a sausage roll and maybe an iced bun and bob’s your uncle. Why not review something new? A new funky restaurant or something?

I stopped watching Hannah. Wild that I actually enjoyed 'some' of her content a while back. Lost interest quite quickly. However her threads provide the entertainment she greatly lacks.

 

[BlueLou]

I didn’t think her old vlogs were great, but she was more authentic in those vlogs and showed her true personality.

All she’s doing now is vlogging repetitive, boring ‘shopping in London’ crap that she’s already done numerous times. Gone are the days when she had a bit of personality and showed us an insight into stuff she likes, now it’s all about chasing the views

I find it a bit cringe that she tries so hard to distance herself from Disney and that it’s beneath her. She used to be quite happy bragging about the fact she’s been there 30+ times….Odd behaviour

 

[lalalandinmyhead]

I’m so sad she’s only got one more vlog this year. I almost wish she did daily vlogs. It sounds so weird and mostly creepy (soz) but her vlogs have cheered me and my partner up so much. We can’t find anyone similar to her on YT. Her humor, style of videoing, banter and overall vlogging is so cool…… I hope she does some early next year

 

[freezelouise43]

She is single, lives in London, works as a buyer I think for Disney. Has deleted all her old disney content and pursuing the luxury side of London.
She used to make fun of people who did ADS and sponsors and claimed she never would, but here she is now doing sponsored content.
This thread really isn't as active anymore and people are very mixed on their thoughts.

Thank you for your reply I don’t really have a bad opinion on her, I mean compared to other influencers she’s likeable

 

[Mercurial]

In fairness, would those bring the views and the money? The US is one of the big ad revenue locations, and the rich middle east tourists usually look for luxury and traditional London.

I think Hannah knows exactly what shes doing. She knows key words, whats trending on youtube, where her views are coming from etc. Suspect she may have done a course or two on youtube too. I think shes sold out her authenticity to how she started, but I think she does know what shes doing.

True, probably of less interest to her target audience. I prefer Harrison Web he's more engaging and has good ideas on his channel. I followed his recommendations on the best croissants in Paris and he wasn't wrong.

Hannah doesn't seem to enjoy food which is off putting to me.

 

[Tatooine_legend1]

I think she works at the licensing department at Disney at the moment. She does not talk about her private life at all.
I don't hate her but also don't like her. But I love London which is the reason I watch some of her vlogs.

Yeah. I have always liked her more than not. Unlike many vloggers, she isn't boring or over the top, loud and excitable. She's fairly vanilla, in my personal opinion. I do find it impressive how she's managed to keep her personal life private.

It cannot be easy to do on YouTube, especially with a decently sized channel with, I'm sure, many fans inquisitive about her personal/dating life. YouTube is a job/hobby at the end of the day, so personal life shouldn't really come into it.

 

[Mark81]

Personally I think its legit.

Views quite consistent and high, comparable level of comments and likes. All with steady subs. And the comments dont sound bot like from what I can see.

 

[Ellie666]

I hadn't watched any of her stuff for a few weeks. I went onto her latest Harrods video (haven't watched it yet) but she's now on 220k subscribers, so she's gained 20k+ subs since I last watched her stuff. With this growth, it's surely only a matter of time before she goes full time on YouTube, no?

I know tubers on half a million plus subscribers who aren't full time.
She has a comfortable job so i don't believe she will go ft, nor imho should she

 

[nik1231]

I don't have an issue with hannah on the whole, certainly not like some here. I have stopped following as she's made it clear her content is going down the shopping route which doesn't interest me when it's constant.

But what I don't get is why she is so bad at thumbnails text. The images are fine but her text is always so hard to read.

Also (and she isn't the only one guilty of this) if you're going to have little comments pop up on screen during vlogs, let them stay there for longer than half a second so they can be read and understood!

Agreed, the shopping isn’t for me either.

I’m curious to know why some people have such an issue with her? From what I’ve seen so far she seems pretty harmless. Is there something I’m missing?

I also found it hard to believe that the Connaught would offer such an upgrade unless they knew who Hannah was. I found it rather alienating actually and would be more interested to know what a guest would get when booking a standard room which, at the Connaught is still around £1K a night Realistically, it’s a famous hotel, approaching midsummer in London, I’m sure it would have no problem filling its premium luxury rooms with paying guests from the Middle East.

Even at £600 to £1000 per night, every weekend, how does Hannah have the spare £ to do this? Is YT really that lucrative? I got upgraded to a penthouse suite once in Düsseldorf but it was during the pandemic and the hotel wasn’t very full.

This will soon become tedious, weekend after weekend, ditto the restaurant reviews, especially with so many influencers jumping on that bandwagon …

 

[Flowerpotgirl]

Can you imagine going to Greggs and getting water to drink? How does that not warrant a Coke? Was she trying to be healthy? Also. Did she just have a bite of each thing? And then throw the rest away? Greggs isn’t the time to be cautious with calories lol

 

[Sabbie]

OT: Where on earth do I discuss all the reels of Americans ‘living’ in the UK doing reactions to food and supermarkets. It drives me round the bend and I can’t get rid of them.

 

[Mark81]

It feels like she has lost her way, and lost what made her so refreshing.

 

[elliebee27]

If I were doing a blog like this I'd def talk about the location, what's around, go into more detail, it's become just like y'all said - check in, same things, the end. I'd try to experience more of the offerings and facilities these luxury hotels have but I can get it would be hard in just a one night stay since you check in at 3pm and are out by 10, 11am...

 

[Uncle Maniac]

Me and the hubby watched a HR video the other day, where she goes for Xmas afternoon tea at the Corinthia. The title of the video was something like ‘a total waste’ or suchlike. And yet, she really liked the afternoon tea! Gave it a high rating! Wtf! Clickbait nonsense

Yes I saw that last year … very misleading! I actually met a friend who was visiting London for Christmas from overseas for afternoon tea there on the strength of Hannah’s vlog, it was very good. I notice that a lot of influencers (see GaryvEats) now write misleading titles pulling a funny face by their videos these days!

 

[greeneggmagic]

well I googled her job and it comes up with that role in the US office. She’s clearly on £80K+ plus bonuses and other things. Those estimates too are away very low when you look them up. One Disney result actually says $128k plus benefits.

I don’t think she’s from money, she worked in a supermarket and mentioned once that she used to have to shop in Asda reduced to clear. I do think she just has a very good job and worked her way up when you see her LinkedIn. She’s from an ok background but I doubt family money when you look at her old vlogs

either way, I do think she’s very down to Earth

 

[Mark81]

Yeah Hannah isnt what id call an information channel. Her reviews are barely that. Shes more a personality channel
