it does just make her look like she has no common sense sometimes
I mentioned this in previous thread i think. I believe it is an indicator that she will pursue the "youtube career" instead of literature/publishing career. I think nickname on linkedin is okay to use nickname if your career is based on youtube because thats how youre known in the sector. But it would be odd for people with more normal jobs like working in a publishing house etc. (I cant think of any other career options with english lit degree)
Same, i'm around the same age as Ruby and I find her content quite strange. I get she's at university but she seems to be doing uni work the majority of the day, even in the summer. I do wonder what she would be like once she gets a job because studying seems to be the only thing she enjoys. I didn't see the point in the work experience she did in the summer, I think it was just copying stuff down and sending it in.
If you look on Twitter or forums that mention Ruby, most people comment how they used to be an avid watcher 3 years ago but stopped watching a while back. Most of these people seem to either be recent graduates or people Ruby's age who relate more to age-appropriate things. This shows that she's not targeting her content to current university students, but to those still in school.
I think maybe she's stuck for content and is just doing what she's been doing for years, in the fear she might lose followers.
Yh I think its weird she uses her youtube name on LinkedIn, what is she going to do for content though if she does it full time, because she can't be at university forever to just be a studytuber.
Lots of YouTubers who have regenerated their channels have talked about that - I think Tyler Oakley is a good example of what can happen to a channel that stagnates.
So true, I think she look at people like Lydia Violeta who has went from studytuber to kinda lifestyle youtuber and her content seems really good at the moment.
If you take away the Victorian videos and routines off of Ruby's channel, there wouldn't be much left apart from the study videos. The fact that Ruby has to piece together any 'vlogs' from multiple days and pretend that everything happened in a single afternoon just goes to show how little purpose she has.
And what's with the reading while bushing her teeth, you'd read about one page and probably get toothpaste on the book.
What happened with the planners? Did they not turn out the way she wanted them too?Oh wow I did not know Ruby Granger the youtube persona has her own Linkedin, that is so weird to me! Just had a look and her blurb about herself contains gems such as "The role of Head Girl at school given me invaluable experience working as a leader, on projects such as this.". There's a punctuation error and a missing word, plus it seems really strange to me to put the fact that you were Head Girl at school front and center in a text that's supposed to show that you're a confident social media entrepreneur who's almost finished with university. If I were an employer I wouldn't be too impressed with that profile tbh.
Also it was news to me that Ruby's channel is apparently "offering an insight into how social media can be used to tackle big issues like World Hunger". Like wtf, I've never noticed that Ruby's content is about tackling world hunger. Then again what do I know, maybe her tiny portions of porridge are all part of an elaborate performative art project about world hunger
Also, given the current planner delivery disaster, I'd maybe take this sentence down if I were Ruby: "I have also gained important experience in management since I manage communication with the printing and postage companies myself, as well as customers directly". Like uh. Maybe don't explicitly draw attention to this on your Linkedin if one quick social media/Google search will tell potential employers just how badly that management project is actually going.
But at least I got one truly interesting bit of information from this truly bizarre read: During her time as head girl, Ruby apparently "helped introduce recycling bins into the Pre-Prep department and set up a school Holocaust Memorial" and was a "Holocaust Education Trust Young Ambassador (LFA)" - so that's where she got the idea from! That's why she took money from the holocaust charity so she could set up more memorials like that! Except she hasn't actually done that yet cause I'm sure it would be on her LinkedIn if she had because every little thing she ever did is one there, recounted in great detail so as to make Ruby sound like the most impressive high-achieving person ever. I hate people like that. I mean sure, it's LinkedIn, you're supposed to present yourself in a positive light, but there's a difference between doing that and bragging like crazy, imho.
Anyway, I'll shut up now, I'm sure the wonders of Ruby's LinkedIn page have been discussed here before.
I can just imagine people she went to school with reading it and being like no you didn't, wtf is this bullshit.
Ruby’s content is a really weird mix of stuff. Some of it seems to be aimed at much younger ‘school-age’ viewers, to whom she’s selling this strange idea that uni is either terribly aesthetic school you live at or endless essays you write at home. Alongside that are videos that suggest she’s living almost exactly the same lifestyle as her mum, minus the ethanol or any any kind of social life.
Traditionally, it’s the part of the school that educates children up to the age of 7.
