I'm starting to think I'm maybe just too much of a old soul trapped in a young(ish) person's body because the way he talks makes it difficult for me to get through one of his videos.

I just watched his Adele video, and the way he says things like 'literally me...' thinking he's all chaotic and quirky, or makes one of his terrible puns really makes me cringe.

Maybe I'm just an old man before my time but I find listening to the way online personalities speak really hard to get through because they can never finish a thought without some rubbish joke or catchphrase.

Once again, the book he claimed to have read was in perfect condition with not a crease in sight. 🤷‍♂️
His videos are always really jarring because of that - it's like he can't spit out one coherent sentence without interrupting himself with *insert 'joke' and zoom-in here*. He probably thinks it makes him all relatable because he knows the lingo of the youth, but it's only funny or quirky when used sparingly, not in every single sentence you say.

Now now, that doesn't sound like main character energy

This reading log is just GoodReads in paper form - like anyone actually needs that. These products are so cheap and remind me of the spiral planners we used to get at school. He really needs to move away from this Uni obsession and leave school children alone. After all he’s a 20-something grown man interacting with teenagers online.
to be fair a lot of people prefer to do this kind of stuff on paper - my sister has a reading journal where she does pretty much the same thing except she uses a plain notebook and spends a lot of time making it look pretty. I could see someone wanting to do it on paper but not wanting to spend the time (and money) to buy stickers, print out the covers, make it pretty with hand-lettering etc. I agree though that Jack's is also very expensive and you can get similar products for half the price (although I will also say my sister has probably spent more on washi-tape, stickers, pens, etc. even if the notebook itself was cheap). Obviously this is anecdotal but I'm sure the market is there.

Hi I'm one of these people! I just enjoy having that data written in journal form, though I make mine myself with a bullet journal style. I wouldn't buy someone else's designed journal because I know what works for me and what I want in mine

Not Jack moaning on his Insta stories about 'evil' French grammar again, whilst asking for 'fun to say' French words to show off his pronunciation... 😏

He’s been attending a full time language school? I also don’t think this is that unusual for someone who has graduated with a non career specific degree plus he had a plan but the pandemic messed that up so? I don’t actually know what else he is supposed to do 😂😂😂

It seems like he just wanted to go to France for a while, and if he has the money and the opportunity, good for him.

But the education side of things really feels like a flimsy means of getting a study visa and keeping one foot in the studytube world to milk content out of it if needed.

Originally it was just the flimsy, pointless screenwriting course he was doing, despite him showing zero interest in film or motivation to learn screenwriting. The only reason you'd take a Mickey Mouse course like that in a country where you don't speak the language is for the visa (or because he's an idiot).

Then when he realised a short, part-time course wouldn't cut the visa mustard, suddenly he wanted to learn French full-time. He should try getting an actual job instead, or actually take control of his stationery business and put some work into it, so it's not just churning out overpriced crap designed by an intern at his management's company.

I tried watching his latest Paris vlog and noped out the second he faked calling a bagel a "bagagel" by "accident". Oh, the quirkiness! Dude should skip the screenwriting class and take some acting lessons.

Sorry (not aimed at you) but bit tired of people blaming the pandemic.. plenty of jobs out there, might take a little more work but it's absolutely possible to start and change careers. If your plans don't work out you have to readjust the sails. Sitting down waiting out the pandemic could see opportunities pass you by. Each year his degree becomes a little bit worthless as more grads with fresher degrees come into the job market. Most graduate schemes only ĺook at degrees within the last two years.

Like you say its a generic degree without a specific career linked to it. Learning a language is great and all, but he is soon going to be competing with graduates his age who also have built up work experience. A lot of reliance seems to be on his YouTube lasting for his primary source of income

Maybe I'm a pushover but I do empathise with Jack and everyone else who has graduated in 2020/2021. It's an uncertain time.

He has the financial security and flexibility to study French in Paris for a while, so why not?

Also a reading log is a good idea, something i'd actually buy, but the design aesthetic literally looks like a notebook you'd buy from WHSmith when you were in year 9.

Everything put out by Jack and Ruby's shared management-lead companies looks like the kind of crap you'd get for free at Freshers' Fair in a bag with a fridge magnet and pen that leaks everywhere after a day. It's not stuff anyone should be charging money for, let alone £14-17.
