I just came around to watch Ruby's latest videos (and I wish I hadn't), so I am a little late to the party but there is this one thing that bothers me to the absolute maximum and it is her refusal to learn to pronounce the name Ludovico Einaudi (it's at 3:03 in the video), despite featuring this poor man's dreamy music in almost all of her playlists. I am not Italian, nor do I speak Italian, but even I have a pretty good idea on how it is pronounced, but just to be sure I invested 20 seconds to google it to find this:

View attachment 1207426

she pretends to LAHVE studying and learning things, so why not to do the absolute bare minimum to learn how to pronounce the name of people you talk about. It is called decency ffs.
Her absolute oblivion when it comes to any words/names/pronunciations that are not english is so very cringey and anglocentric and speaks a lot about her horizon (social, literary and otherwise).
And I am not saying that you need to be able to pronounce every name or word in every language from scratch, but if you mention a person in your video and feature their art, then do your research instead of butchering their name. This annoys me so much because it is not the first time he has done it with Einaudi, she refused to say his name in a different video before :cautious:
This! The obstinate refusal to do the bare minimum. (Then again, that's our Roobee in a nutshell.) I don't know why she thinks it's acceptable to not even try to find out how the name is pronounced, and it definitely speaks to an almost imperialist mindset. Similar to the handful of times she's referenced a book not originally written in English - she'll say the name of the translator rather than the name of the author, because obviously foreigners don't matter. If anything, they should be grateful that someone has bothered to translate their feeble efforts into English.

(I'm not at all familiar with Einaudi's music, and sadly, thanks to Ruby, it's entirely possible I never will be. She's got the reverse Midas touch.)

Apparently she has given up on the Birdshit and Blend for now and has taken to drinking the blood of the living to give her strength for that final stretch. (Seriously, that is one seriously unappetizing drink, imho! Why does she think this is good instagram content!)

so her giveaway to thank her fans is her giving away stuff a company has sent her and she hasn't even bought herself to then give away? We love a charitable queen, she's so thoughtful

I'm bored and up early so clicked on a random roobee vid

(for anyone curious) she's always had a fixation, for lack of a better word, on ED's she mentions she did extra school work on how ED's are portrayed in the bible which is...niche to say the least. Truly think the warning signs were there years before it became physically noticeable because I did the exact same thing, I watched a documentary on anorexia and became obsessed with it- I have OCD so I get locked onto things and hyper fixate and for whatever reason mine was ED's and books, documentaries, films etc focusing on them but this was a good 3 years but I developed one myself and it seems to be the exact same with Ruby, a lot of the books she's read you wouldn't know about unless you googled "books about anorexia".
Not 100% sure what my point is, just an observation

She can't even pronounce or spell most English words correctly, sadly... I can't believe she ever took Spanish as a subject in school. Her accent must have been atrocious.

pls jack would be so much more bearable if he stopped hanging around the toxic twosome
He never sees either of them unless it's for a scheduled management-organised event of some kind every six to twelve months though. He's an insufferable douche all on his own.

Since I can only "enjoy" glimpses of the Rooby-Booby experience via Tattle and other idiots' ehm influencers' Instagram I just saw her in attending the event via Jade's story. I am shocked to admit that I genuinely enjoy her outfit. (I mean, do you see the shoes?)

So much wrong with this picture.

"Study break"? So...work events are study breaks now?

The poses and expressions. The mannequins behind them are doing a better job convincing me they're having a good time, plus they have more personality.

Why are Ruby's shoes so big? This is some Kingdom Hearts shit.

Why did Ruby just dump her phone on the ground and is about to tread all over it in her giant clown shoes?

Why are they all saying everything's the "dreamiest" now?

The irony of this uni lecturer giving advice about answering the question, not giving unwanted opinions and engaging with critics beyond just parroting their views and Rubert replying ‘thanks!’ when we know she’ll 100% be doing those things in her dissertation 😂
Ruby: "Thanks syo moch for sharing this!"
Also Ruby: (Continues to write a labyrinthine mess of unrelated dead-end tangents and insane nonsense which has no relation to her degree.)

I'm sure her own dissertation supervisor has been telling her the exact same thing. Unfortunately, Ruby won't listen and can't answer the question asked because she never came up with an essay thesis.

New video is titled "a productive study day #2". Ruby was too busy being JANUINELY VARRY PRODOCKTIVE to finally learn capital letters and how they work. There is also no video on her channel titled "a productive study day #1", so what's this the sequel to?

Untit4674755289+348095365.jpg


"the world is looking so beautiful!" she slaps on-screen, and as always, she hasn't considered that there's a world beyond the bedroom and back yard where she'll spend the next several years.

"I started off byyy dyoing some overflow tahhsks for moiy dissertation."

There should be no "overflow tasks" for your dissertation, Ruby. Write it. Edit it. Reference properly. Then get it printed and bound to hand in. That's it.

Untitled6545644565.png


Anyway, Ruby's definition of "overflow tasks" is as confused and wrong as her definition of "admin".

"I'm basically dyoing the same koiynd of thing I was dyoing yassturday--YASSTURDAY I focused on restructuring and gyowing through and making toiynee edits," she says, stating that she's doing the same today with a different chapter.

This isn't "overflow tasks", this is the core work for the dissertation,. Ruby's utterly moronic method of turning even the most straightforward task into a multi-tiered project of busywork, splitting off essential components and giving them daft and nebulous task names to make it seems like she's endlessly multitasking and therefore more productive...it's the dumbest shit in a swamp of dumb shit.

The work she's doing is just as much of an unstructured, unfinished mess as ever, judging by the work she shows (conspicuously not written on the PONKIN' PRODURTVITY notebook which she claims to ALWAYS use).

Untitled6545645.png


Ruby has another matcha latte instead of food. There's a huge hair trailing out of it, so I guess Ruby thought garnishing her drink with her own eroding wig would add some nutritional value?

She rambles that she's focusing on the parts she's less confident in to prioritise these, as though being far from confident in two thirds of your whole dissertation at the 11th hour, after two years of work and 7+ drafts is the most natural thing in the world and nothing to be worried about.

"It makes syoo moch sense to put the toiyme into things you knyow you need to improve on," says Ruby, who constantly wastes all her time and never improved at anything.

Untitled6545644567565.png


"just tidying my desk a little bit" - no need for caps or punctuation for this Literature-studying wunderkind. By "my desk", she means "my windowsill". And by "tidying", she means "throwing away two burnt matchsticks, but leaving a third there for sentimental reasons or something". Her candle is leaning as far as possible, to distance itself from her stupidity.

Untitled65456445665757565.png


Ruby says she's going to file away some notes in her compendium of degree-related lecture notes and general, redundant wastes of paper. She even mentions that she's already duplicated this crap in Notion and is weeks away from finishing her degree, so this is an especially pointless thing to do.

There's stray hairs trailing all over this, too, as Ruby's malnourished scalp is apparently ejecting hair faster than a Husky shedding its summer coat.



CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP.

Reminder: This is a liquid. There should be no chewing. Between this habit and the last video, where she was chewing thin air on multiple occasions, her body's apparently so starved that she just chews anything or nothing in lieu of food.

Untit46747565.jpg


The insanity continues as Ruby claims her critical ass-ay for her other module is all finished, but again she's decided to essentially copy the entire thing by hand to a notepad to "write out the logical structure and make sure everything made sense". Always a good sign.

Untit46747548095365.jpg


No closer to a completed dissertation and with no signs of anything approaching a coherent thesis or sensible work plan, Ruby dresses up like a child and heads to the theatre with her mum and sister. There she'll distract the cast on stage with the light reflected off her bright red receding fivehead.

She tosses in another lip-service disclaimer to say you should ALWAYS make time for breaks, but misses the point entirely.

According to Ruby, study breaks are essential to "keep you motivated and keep you enjoying your wahhrk". No, Ruby. A break shouldn't just be a compliment to your studies. A break is supposed to be essential time away from your study and should be enjoyable in its own right. Studying should not be the centre of your life. It shouldn't be the thing that all other things take a backseat to or supplement.

And this latest half-assed disclaimer rings especially hollow as Ruby continues to refuse to tear herself away from her laptop to even drink something, and the last few videos she's shown herself positioning drinks between her arms so she can sip from them hands-free and not have to stop typing.

Long time lurker here and I couldn't stop wondering what on earth is Roobster's accent? I'm from the States but I've spent some time living in London and I've never ever heard anyone speak like she does.
I grew up about ten miles from where Rubber Ring lives. Her accent is one hundred percent an affectation to make her sound posh and intellectual, an attempt at a cut-glass Home Counties accent that greatly exaggerates her natural one. Pretty much nobody I know or speak to when I go visit my parents speaks that way unless we are taking the Michael.

What was she doing at a Netflix premiere? That's unexpected. I agree that she looks really good in that photo, but her style is so different from what she normally wears I wouldn't be surprised if someone else chose it for her.
I'm 99% certain she had a stylist

She mentions that she finished something dissertation-related following a meeting with her dissertation supervisor the day before. She offers no further details. This marks something like 6 or 7 meetings she's had with her dissertation supervisor, not counting all the lengthy emails Ruby's undoubtedly harassed them with. I've not known anyone to take or need that many dissertation meetings, so Ruby's dissertation is clearly still a complete trainwreck.
This not only rings alarm bells for me, im not quite sure it’s allowed? When u was doing the same degree at the same Uni, we were only allowed 2 official meetings with our supervisor (usually pre and post submission of our 1000 words formative assessment).

I can only conclude that either
a) the rules have changed
b) she’s not telling the truth
c) her tutor is really concerned about the direction of her dissertation
d) she’s somehow convinced her tutor to give her preferential treatment…

Has the malnutrition fried her writing skills? I'd hate to know how many words she misused and how many sentences she mangled in her dissertation. She's an English student ffs
1650992425121.png
My brain literally struggled to read this. It's not even random typos you can overlook, it's full of spelling AND basic grammar mistakes to the point of lunacy. English is literally her first language. She STUDIES English literature at a university level. Her whole identity is "being good at English." This is just embarrassing.

Judging from her comment section it seems most of her viewers are middle school to high school aged students, like 12 to 17?
Honestly I think she mostly skews that demographic of nerdy tween girls who are not like other girls. I can't see uni students enjoying her content. Her lifestyle might look appealing to a younger person who likes that sort of thing (books, vintage stuff etc), but a 20 to 25 year old would immediately notice how absurd and cringy most of the things she does are
*Most* of her viewers probably are 12 to 17. And then there are the other ones. Ruby’s audience seems to be made up of young ‘intellecshuals’ who desperately try to outdo each other with the verbosity of their comments, or middle-aged blokes with usernames like ‘kevin46’ who leave really quite odd comments about how lovely Ruby is. She has a very … diverse audience.

Good point. Maybe they've only gifted her a single teabag and she's just been getting lots of mileage out of it? 😂



This is going to sound petty, but it's bothering me how she takes a massive intake of breath before speaking, as though she's about to dive underwater, and I can't unsee the way her mouth moves in such a wide, exaggerated manner when she's talking. I've only noticed this in her earliest videos. Were these Hermoine/Emma Watson tics?
It's her extremely over exaggerated (bad) acting. She's so eager to be 11 year old Hermione that she's taken all the worst characteristics of her and combined them into this caricature of the real character.

Here’s a sample of the type of work she submits. I feel like a graduating English student ought to be able to distinguish between ”cite” and ”quote” and use a simple expression like ”in spite of”/”despite” correctly.

"Despite from being"....yikes. At least she managed to get the author's name right in the essay, even if she repeatedly got it wrong in the video.

Had this been for an ESL course, even a non-advanced one, she'd have lost points for that. Makes me feel better about my English to be honest to see a native speaker and aspiring writer make this kind of mistakes.

Having an eating disorder isn't a Get Out Of Jail Free card for for unethical behaviour. Bit suspicious of herathebeaver because they seem to be defending all of the studytubers from criticism. 🧐 Tattle is a gossip site, not a fanclub.

I worry that one day soon, I'll watch one of these bafflingly incompetent, devoid-of-purpose shitshows and the barrage of sheer stupidity assaulting my brain will cause some kind of dumbness by osmosis and make me forget how vowels work, what a kettle does or what my family look like.
What a scary thought. We might log in one day and find you giving tea reviews (''banana-y, blueberry-y, birthday cake-y'') and telling us how we can condense our one big essay into 50,000 small, manageable essays. Perhaps this is a fate that awaits us all.
