My point exactly. If he did feel "picked on" it's not going to be for nothing. He's such a 'woe me' kinda guy, that him being rude and shady to the staff at Cam has been turned round into Ibz being the victim. Sure, everyone loves 'tea' but Jesus not when he's made it up

He’s the epitome of too big for his boots 
definitely took inspiration from Eve about studying law, then posting all about it as if he’s always wanted to go down that route, weird honestly
definitely took inspiration from Eve about studying law, then posting all about it as if he’s always wanted to go down that route, weird honestlyThe "fame" has absolutely gone to his head. The person he was when he started YouTube vs the person he is now is shocking. It's shame because at first I thought he was an alright guy, but now it's plain as day that he thinks he's God's gift because he made videos about his time at Cambridge.
I know him in real life and he's totally up himself. He made videos slagging off some people from the Cambridge Islamic community and then went and partnered with Oxford on a Access Conference just to be spiteful.
If his name wasn't going to be attached to something or he was asked to work on something that wasn't in the spotlight/paid, he didn't want to know.
Side note, but related: sharing your experiences is great but conflating that with "getting people into Oxbridge" is a huge stretch. He's done nothing significant for access at Cambridge.
I also think that because he was in the process of appealing (but had good grades from previous years), that helped his case.
I don't think they picked on him, but I wouldn't like someone who I'd seen slagging me and my colleagues off on social media.
People talk, so I don't doubt that he was a hot topic in the fac.

It was a satellite BPP campus, no shade but hardly difficult to get into.

Also papers are marked by different academics and they're supposedly marked blindly, so to get a 2:2 overall means you're grades weren't popping in more than one paper.

I've outlined some of his obnoxious tendencies in my previous posts.
Other things include:
- Ignoring people who he was once good friends with and then acting like nothing happened when he wanted something from them again
- Spreading his "close friends" business to other close friends (which then became public knowledge)
- Expecting the red carpet to be rolled out to him at every and any event that he went to
- Ignoring people that he didn't think were worthy of his attention (until he was given reason to think otherwise)
From what I understand, the college he was at is very relaxed as it's a mature college. Apparently this is the case at these collegesthis is so interesting, you can see it a mile off
I always got the impression from watching his vlogs that he hated his second year halls because the students didn’t really care much about who he was or playing up for his camera, so he fucked off
the whole law thing deffo seemed to arise after seeing Eve’s success after landing a job at Linklakers, he would’ve looked unsuccessful compared to her
So while younger students may have fawned over him, mature students tend to be more concerned with real life... and didn't care for juvenile attempts to be popular.

That’s terrible. Yeah I hope it gives them some perspective. Sick of the narrative that it doesn’t effect any young people at all.

Ibz Mo is a Cambridge graduate, known for getting a 2:2, blaming that on his department, somehow gets into law school and spilling the teaaaaa.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
I also think his personality is overbearing and irritating. He constantly plays the ‘poor me’ card and it’s starting to wear thin.

I did initially like him when he was a first year as his videos were funny and genuine. Then all the drama happened in second year and I think his passion for YouTube and education went downhill. He still achieved bits for access awareness so I won't criticise him for that. I think over time the multiple dramas just made me tire of him.
I believe so! I'm not entirely sure as our interactions post-first year have been few and far between. That being said, on the rare occasion that we'd bump into each other, he was always incredibly obnoxiousThat’s like Selina Ozay, another studytuber, who I love so much I genuinely think she’s jokes, but don’t act surprised when the psychology don’t like you after slagging them off in every vlog
as for Ibz, he’s such a hypocrite using his “hate” for Oxford to up his status in Cambridge then shitting on it completely when things don’t go your way.
didnt he move out of his second year halls? Why was that?
But from what I remember, he alienated a lot of people and essentially went to ground.
Being the diva that he is, he deleted almost everyone he'd met off of Facebook and then made one for his "fans" that included people who he'd met at uni but weren't in his inner circle. I remember it cropping up in my "people you know" section and thinking this cannot be real

You can’t go from getting D’s at A level and expecting to bang your degree at Cambridge the effort you’ve gotta put in oh my. It seemed like he was clutching onto his A level “rise to fame” and expected the same results throughout university without the effort

He did, then appealed the grade and it got bumped up to a 2:1
Regards uni, the video about the appeal, he says "the psychology department aren't really fans of me". That cannot possibly be for no reason? Like, you've got to have done something! No way are highly qualified academics at one of the best unis in the world going to give you a 2:2 because they don't like you, nor are they going to pick on him for absolutely no reason.
The best part of that first love video is that it was sponsored by audible. Another highlight was him bragging about taking them out to all these great dates. Also, didn't watch it all - it's a 2 part series with 40ish minutes in each.

It’s so obvious that he’s only carrying on with YouTube for money - he hardly uploads and when he does it includes a shitty ad

In his latest video about when he had covid, in the background on the whiteboard it said “film hate thread” - I wonder if he’s doing a video reading this thread?
Or continue to be a fake, insufferable YouTuber who plays the race/disadvantaged kid card at any chance he gets.

I used to really like ibz but now he just gets me mad - the change from end of alevels/start of uni to now is unreal. now he doesnt seem to care as much about education, studying or grades. The way he complains about literally everything like shit lecturers and grades. I think he didnt work hard enough at cambridge, ngl if it was me there i would be trying to get the best grade. Im a student at another top uni and i come from a similar background to Ibz but i dont complain about it - i know that its harder for working class students to get the grades but i work damn hard to achieve my best. Seems to me that Ibz expects things to go his way like when he appealed his grade from uni.
also what does everyone think about the story time about his first love???

I used to watch Joe Binder before he graduated, but had to unfollow because he made me cringe myself inside-out. So arrogant!

The breathing difficulties he faced scared me, as someone with asthma to hear it gave him asthma makes me think what someone who is already asthmatic can except... scary stuff. Glad he seems to be bubbly and getting better. I think out of all the studytubers Ibz can be quite introspective so I will continue to follow with interest, and i do appreciate his enthusiasm for encouraging disadvantaged students to apply.
