This.
I imagine her idea of "customer support" goes like this:
"Hello its Roobee! Thank you for your e-mail, unfortunately we at Pumpkin Productivity have a zero-tolerance policy against bullying, so I deleted it from my inbox. Please refrain from bullying me any further. Thank you and I hope you have a productive week."

"I've never done a chatty morning routine before!" This is the exact same routine we've seen 67,923 times before. The only difference is that she couldn't even be bothered to record narration or add any of the terrible royalty-free music she usually uses, so she just narrates as she goes and we're subjected to the disgusting sounds of her squeezing lotion out of bottles and sloshing water about. Ruby has reached peak laziness.
Ruby gets all defensive about her utterly insane habit of reading while brushing her teeth. "It's only two minutes of reading, but I just really enjoy it!" If you enjoy reading so much, give it your full attention. Covering a book in drool for the sake of 90 seconds' distracted reading does not make you a bookworm. It makes you an idiot.
She makes a point to say that her book about toffs murdering foxes was too precious to risk getting toothpaste on, but The False Rose is fair game. Sorry, Jacob Wegelius, you toiled for months writing that book only for it to be encrusted in dried toothpaste drool.
She's only just finished washing her face and claims to have been awake less than an hour and this is already the third outfit of the day.
She puts on thick layer of child's suncream to the point that she looks like a circus clown. Can't see her skin colour, but her freckles are magically super visible. Hmm. Not buying it, Rubes.
"I always start my day by making my bed. It makes me feel so put together."
Yet you couldn't be bothered to adjust the sheets to fit your mattress? Doesn't seem very put together, does it? I've seen crack dens with tidier beds.
"Making my bed has been so much easier since I got a single bed," she says, in the smuggest tone ever for some reason. If that's the case, get a smaller house, too - your family might be able to keep a single room clean without as much real estate to cover.
"Breakfast." Ruby, even that fucking rabbit would be hungry after this. Stop this shit already.
"The world is so beautiful at the moment," said the sheltered, privileged little Tory who wants for nothing and has never known struggle or responsibility. Ruby, read the room. The world is an ever-increasing nightmare for so many people right now. Optimism is great, your complete ignorance and lack of basic empathy are not.
Ruby decides to go for a walk after harassing the chickens. Her outfit magically changes from this:
To this:
And her hairstyle looks completely different.
Outfits worn so far: Four.
"It's...a bit past seven...I think it's about quarter past seven."
"I've been able to see the seasons change, and even the way the air tastes is different." That's probably extreme hunger, Ruby. It's what happens when you eat a teaspoon of food and then speedwalk for an hour - you get hungry and lightheaded and start to ramble like a mental patient.
The only signpost she can think of for seasonal changes is her academic studies, and Ruby equates "what's happening in the world" with, literally, what's happening in her own back yard.
"I'm going to enjoy my walk, be present and be mindful," she says, after setting up a tripod to endlessly ramble at a camera for footage for a routine she's already shown hundreds of times before.
"I dip into my book of poetry while I walk." Nothing says "present and mindful" quite like not paying attention to wear you're walking.
Oh, god, she's doing a poetry reading...
And now she's "mindfully" enjoying her walk and living in the moment by setting the camera down to record herself walking away, inevitably having to come back for it.
"I get so distracted..." Again: Hunger. Eat food. See a doctor.
"There is no such thing as how long you should spend doing something. You should do things because you enjoy doing them, and if that means spending longer on the task to help you enjoy it to a greater extent, then I think we should do that. The most important thing is enjoying everything we do."
This is, quite possibly, the stupidest thing I've heard all year.
If you need longer to complete a task, take longer. Maybe don't rigidly try to fit everything into 30 minute schedule windows like you do, Ruby. But spending longer doing something you don't enjoy won't magically make you enjoy it. Some things aren't there to be enjoyed. It's called "work." You should try it sometime. And it says a lot about you that even the things you think you're supposed to enjoy are considered "tasks."
"If you're writing an essay, you should always spend an extra hour more than you need to make sure you enjoy the process of essay writing."
Ruby pulls out a second breakfast. It looks a bit more like a full breakfast than her usual tiny portions. She also has her "acting" voice on as she makes a point to show how much there is, so we know there's some bullshit going on.
Sure enough, she tears her crumpet into ridiculously tiny pieces, eats a miniscule fraction of it along with a single raspberry, and that's it. Ruby, you're fooling no-one. This shit's blatant.
Also she claims to be eating while writing a letter. Because I know I love getting letters covered in the disgusting remnants of someone's partially-chewed food.
Outfits worn so far: Five.
"Also just realised I haven't put suncream on yet." Umm...you had a thick layer of it on your face in the previous shot, Rubes. See a doctor about memory loss.
Outfits worn so far: Six.
"So, after having the most mindful morning..."
"Yes, I do change outfits multiple times a day. I change my outfits a lot."

I don't think it's that unusual to not have found a group of friends to sit with in your first week at university? Some people are just shy, I don't think that makes her a loser...but hey if it does, then I'm one too

Me looking for my will to live if I have to watch any more videos of her twirling in a barren field
No wonder Ruby has to get up at 6:30 for a 9am class when, judging by the array of landmarks she showed on her walk, she went past the Sheldonian, did a lap of the Radcliffe Camera, through the courtyard at the Bodleian, then apparently back onto Broad Street from the Cornmarket end, and back down Turl Street heading south again, and then back onto Broad Street (at the north end of Turl Street) before finally heading off down Holywell Street in the direction of the English faculty. For those who don't know Oxford, here's a quick approximation of Ruby's journey to class, starting from her favourite PRAT A MANGER. Any lines that appear to defy all expectations of the street layout are intended to represent Ruby's magical video game clipping across the map.

Lmao the sheer irony of Ruby Granger, queen of promoting toxic productivity to teenagers, being bitchy about a tutor who gave a piece of bad advice about productivity one time! Idk, this is just SO fucking funny to me, cause it's like-
Ruby: "Study with me - 15 HOUR STUDY DAY MOTIVATION", "SCHOOL MORNING ROUTINE EXTREMELY PRODUCTIVE 6AM", "How to Maintain Concentration for 14 Hours a Day", "I schedule every minute of my life", "Have a PRODUCTIVE WEEK!!", etc etc
Tutor: You probably won't have time for reading for pleasure during term time
Ruby: Outrageous! How offensive!! How dare they! Spreading toxic productivity ideals like that! Telling young people they should just study all the time! How could they! So irresponsible!!

I think I preferred her first draft:Not her saying she loves Shakespeare’s tragedies, when according to her Goodreads she’s only read 3

If she really didn't buy anything in the cafe then I am genuinely angry. This is an example of how privilege works. A homeless person sitting in a cafe without buying anything would be quickly moved on/thrown out.

Y'all need Jesus for finding dad attractive, he looks constipated.
Hi everyone, this is my first time posting but I thought I'd throw in my two cents 
I graduated from Exeter last year, and was actually in one of Ruby's lectures back when she was doing philosophy. I do not think that she is being honest about her grades - I always found the grading system to be completely fair (and quite a few lecturers are very tough markers), and I have never spoken to anyone else that seems to effortlessly achieve high firsts like Ruby does. You can tell the ones that are getting good grades, because they are absolutely brilliant. Of course it could be different in the English department, but considering my own course was spread across multiple departments I don't think there can be that much of a difference.
I think she realised in first year that she wasn't achieving the grades she wanted to, and started being less than truthful about them so that she would still be seen as a good studytuber. I think that might also be a reason why she switched courses, perhaps thinking that she wasn't suited to the course rather than that just being how university grading systems work.
If she is being truthful, I want to see some more advanced study tips than 'write a to-do list' and 'get some exercise'

When she said "Please sir, I want some more" to the camera I think I threw up a little bit in my mouth.
