==Controversy==
The channel itself received reactions from YouTubers, including people of said demographics they were talking about, who considered Franchesca's handling of the topics poorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtxTSV_32ew. Chris Ray Gunhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5bHOJbQOf8, JUST A ROBOThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC5QD0S23eE, Sargon of Akkadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8nqJvVEEQI and Don't Walk Run Productions were amongst her critics. 
Some of her videos are un-informed or hypocritical, such as her video on PC Culturehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QANf-K2qM5k&t=2s.
