I'm amazed to see how many positive comments she's getting from this video.
It's one thing to be introverted, that's okay, but she's sending out a really bad message to her younger and impressionable viewers.
Ruby: "You have to romanticise and embrace uni culture and push yourself not to go home so much."
Commenters: "I love this Ruby, you're so right, I'm glad someone's brave enough to say it!"
Also Ruby: "Uni culture isn't great and nobody should tell you that it is, and it's okay to go home as much as possible so don't listen to anyone who says otherwise."
Same Commenters: "I love this Ruby, you're so right, I'm glad someone's brave enough to say it!"
They'll praise anything she says, regardless of how contradictory and stupid it is.
Calling it now: she will drop out to concentrate on writing her new novel (while living in her parents house to save money, so relatable!). New videos will include "Researching my Victorian Dark Academia novel | Morning Routine as a Writer", "wintery Novelist evening Routine & a dark academia Christmas", "writing a novel: notion set-up and my new fountain pens", "chatty evening routine: how I research novel ideas" and "how I plot and write using my favourite tool for writers (Kindly sponsored by Scrivener)".
I do think that being an Authortuber would be perfect for her in the worst way. I'm not sure if she's ever watched any Authortube content, but I could very easily see her turning herself into a toxic version of Kate Cavanaugh. If she sees how easily she can gamify that lifestyle and turn it into another source of self-congratulatory numbers games and toxic productivity busywork, she'll embrace it immediately. Endless word sprints, focus on word count, heavy emphasis on routines, huge amounts of planning - she can transplant her worst habits and compulsions from general studying to writing so easily.
She'll never actually succeed as an author - she doesn't have the talent or any basic writing ability and she missed the boat on getting a vanity book published through a traditional publisher. She should've embraced self-publishing, but that would've required work and marketing skills which she clearly can't be bothered with and doesn't have the skills for. But I can easily see her milking an extra few years of 'the same, but different' content out of that while indulging all the same unhealthy impulses and never actually publishing anything.
