Additionally, she wouldn't be able to deal with not getting constant praise and positive reinforcement from everyone around her. Most days at a retail job you just have to get your head down and get on with whatever you have to do. She would absolutely hate that.

Did I ever tell you abut the time when a customer leaned over a counter at the record store i worked at and grabbed by by the throat? .. just one of my joyful retail working experiences. (i'll refrain from mentioning the time one of satans little elves left a festive gift of a number 2 in the M&S changing rooms?)Yeah, good point. Customers are brutal... The amount of times I've been screamed at for things outside of my control... so many horror stories lmao. Now that you mention it, I don't know if Ruby could handle that. Still, I think it'd be good for her. Ruby would benefit from pushing herself outside of her comfort zone, even though she'd never do it.
Shhhhh... We have to talk positive about Ruby working in retail so she'd actually do it. (I've cleaned up so much sh*t/piss and been threatened with a knife to my face)... but like Ruby you didn't see this. LMAO
ah yes because that would NEVER happen at Waterstones 
One of my favourite YouTubers, Brutalmoose, has a great way of presenting sponsored ads.
He starts the video with a very quick message to say "This video is sponsored by [insert sponsor here], stay tuned until the end of the video to learn more." And then the sponsored segment is at the end of the video. No having ad segments derail a video halfway or get awkwardly shoehorned in. You can easily skip it.
He picks sponsors that are relevant to him or the videos and doesn't pretend that he loves them or has used them since birth when he hasn't. And he makes the sponsored segments fun, too, with editing magic, creativity, and a sense of humour. A sponsored ad doesn't have to be dead-eyed rattling off of facts and lies about how much you love something.
There's a lot of influencers out there who cherry-pick sponsors they believe in, who pick relevant sponsors and present them without opinion or avoid sponsor deals entirely and rely on ad revenue.
Ruby has a tonne of options available to her that don't involve going out of her way to constantly lie when even the sponsors themselves aren't asking her to do that. But she's a compulsive liar and thinks that lying will attract more sponsor money.
She also wants money that she doesn't need so much that she'll accept sponsorships from ads that go against her brand or are completely irrelevant. ("I'm Ruby and I'm all about slow living and Victorian-era technology and customs apparently. I love writing on paper and don't watch TV. This video is sponsored by NordVPN and LG Laptops.")
She doesn't think about who she's accepting money from, whether it'll impact her brand or whether it's even ethically or morally right to take the money (like taking money from multiple charities). She's just greedy and wants to accumulate more money in her bank.
She's too lazy to headhunt smaller brands that she likes to sponsor her. She just blatantly courts that elusive Waterstones sponsorship.
Ruby doesn't actually explain why she claims to love Waterstones so much. They're more expensive than a lot of other book retailers. They don't have as interesting a selection as a lot of independent shops. Ruby almost never buys anything there. She visits almost exclusively to chase an ad deal, and only because she believes, as the biggest book retailer in the UK, Waterstones have the deepest pockets.
Her fans' notion that all influencers do what she does and have to do it to make money is all horseshit. A lot of influencers do advertise anything offered and often lie about their opinions, but a hell of a lot go the other routes. Ruby had the choice, and unsurprisingly chose to lie about sponsored products along with everything else.
Something that pretty much all my favourite youtubers do is that they announce the sponsorship at the beginning and then when it's time to rattle of a script the visual of the video changes drastically enough that it is very easy to skip through the ad just by hovering over that line at the bottom of the screen (genuine guestion: what do you call that? I am not a native speaker) and seeing the visuals.
Also some of them just straight up say "I gotta pay my bills, it is time for an ad break."
I respect that kind of honesty a lot.
Roblox could never lol

Independent bookstores are much more interesting too. We've got a few large bookstore chains here too and like, they're convenient but ultimately it's like buying books on Amazon, there's no "warmth" or personal touch of any kind. If I had a favourite bookstore it certainly wouldn't be one of them. It's like claiming that McDonald's is your favourite restaurant you know what I mean?
Gossip guy liked my post..I feel I have made it now..

Very on brand for our beloved Robot.
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."
"Hello it's Roobee! I have told my mummy and daddy that you were bullying me"
We're all equals here, all suffering through the same trench of cringe and lies that is Ruby's content.
Not a formal statement. Just scripted bs that will get deleted in 24hs

This person in her comments is probably crying into her pillows because she thinks people are bullying Ruby... I can't get over the fact that she practically said "leave her alone, she makes money by lying" as if Ruby or any other influencer has no other income option. She makes it sound like Ruby works at a Victorian factory 18 hours a day and still has to get by through illegal means to feed her 14 children lmfao. If the only way to line your pockets is to lie to people who take your word for gospel, you deserve to be called out. I don't think these idiots realise how stinking rich Ruby is. She definitely doesn't need to fake using a free laptop in order to make a living. Give me a break.
And it means nothing since this happens with every single product release through her company.
It's almost like letting your management company source the cheapest manufacturer and supplier possible doesn't result in good quality products or a reliable service.
Ruby, why did you leave the release of a product whose value and purpose decreases after January 1st until partway through December, when anyone with a sliver of common sense would tell you the postal service would be swamped and most people would receive them late, or not at all?
And that still doesn't explain the issues people have had with late, missing or defective orders for products released during less busy postal seasons.
Blaming the post for the lazy, inept business decisions and practices of you and your management team doesn't fly. Saying "I'm just too successful and got so many orders that the postal service couldn't keep up!" is bullshit. Your business is too cheap to deliver a decent standard of service and as long as you keep getting money, you don't care enough to change that. You're greedy and lazy and you fucked up. Own it.
I'm really glad her product launches are experiencing massove dimishing returns and less and less people are falling for this tit.
A customer told me someone had smeared feces all over the walls in our bathroom. I was done, I ignored it.
And yet she still hasn't done her advent calendar's kindness of the day and thanked those postal workers for their service.
How difficult would it be for Ruby to just take five minutes to make a post about the planners rather than a half assed story apologising and putting all the blame on the supplier? This girl runs from personal responsibility like she runs from adulthood.
I'm sure there's several people who don't care about her overpriced planners just want their refund at this point. We all know how greedy she is, if she wants repeat sales she's going to have to put more of an effort than that.

Same with political causes and serious issues that would benefit from her platform raising awareness - the most she'll muster is a reposted story that'll vanish in a day. Any more effort than that and she can't be bothered.
In this case it's likely a combination of laziness and she doesn't want to tarnish her feed with permanent posts highlighting her numerous mistakes. With a temporary story, she can claim she's addressed it already if more people complain and after a day, any unfortunate reminders of her constant duck-ups are now gone.
