Yeah, my English Lit dissertation had to be 10,000 words. Ruby had it easy and still fumbled it in every way.
I had a 12,000 word history dissertation. 8,000 words genuinely sounds piss easy, like more of an extended essay than a dissertation. Still space to do well and have an interesting topic, but not too long. Really shouldn't have taken her a whole year to write that. Thank god she didn't get into Oxford, she'd have dropped out and been home by Christmas.

How is she writing an essay about Lemony Snicket and still getting the bloke's name wrong. It's Daniel Handler but she keeps saying David in the video

How are her parents not intervening? Are they in denial? Their daughter has an ED is embarrassing herself worldwide!
No amount of money is worth that

Have you guys ever tried to get in touch with 16th and her parents to report ruby's worrying ED and mental state?

"The English dissertation is an 8,000-word extended essay where students shape a distinctive research project in consultation with a member of academic staff."(found that on the Exeter website btw).

I genuinely can't understand how it took her a YEAR to write 8,000 words? I obviously understand it takes time to write, but a whole year and she is still making edits to it??
What she means is she has been spending the year adding inspiration to her Notion, notebooks, Pinterest etc etc :D

I assume her parents are the type to try and sweep things gently under the rug - ignore what's going on and do whatever they can to persuade themselves that Ruby is fine and doesn't need professional support. So yeah, they're probably in denial. We don't want their precious eldest daughter being ill and ruining their image, now do we?

However, I don't think it would be fair to get in touch with Sixteenth/her parents though - firstly because they both know and don't care, but also because I think that's a major breach of a boundary. We can talk about influencers here, complain and make fun, praise them even, but actually going so far to contact management/family I think is going too far. We're not Ruby's friends, and we don't know her, it would feel far too close to harassment and stalking to contact people close to her even if it could potentially do good (which it wouldn't tbh).

And that's different from every single other day you show how exactly?

That was Ruby’s laziest video in a really long time. A mixture of footage from weeks, months and years ago, with no real content beyond Ruby staring at her laptop looking dead inside (and out).

Screenshot_20220504-185601_YouTube.jpg


She's reusing this footage for the 8 millionth time, despite having more recent footage of her browsing the stacks at "AXATARR LOIBURRY".

Ruby’s decided to show footage of her writing her dissertation and children's literature essay from before this week's other videos because who the duck knows. And it still doesn't actually show anything, it's just more of Ruby saying she did a lot of vague things with no visual indication that they happened. "AND THAN I DID THIS, AND THAN I DID THAT."

Ruby parrots information her lecturer provided during her module as though Ruby herself just thought it up. She clearly thought this would make her seem VARRY smart, but god, she sounds so dumb. Ruby only just discovered the concept of postmodernism after three years of studying English at uni and claiming to read hundreds of books a year. Despite apparently reading the Lemony Snickett books before, she only noticed the very basic postmodern aspects of it when they were pointed out to her during her module. Her brain is completely devoid of any critical ability of her own.

Oh, and the video is sponsored by a familiar service which Ruby hasn't used since the last time she was sponsored by them. "I've shown Perlego in a LYOT of moiy 'study with me's because...it IS one of my favourite study platforms," Ruby lies.

Reminder: Ruby never shows Perlego outside of sponsored ads. She has paid money to buy digital copies of books elsewhere that were included free with her Perlego subscription. She actively pays money not to have to use Perlego herself outside of sponsored videos. That should tell you exactly what Ruby really thinks of this platform.

"I use it pretty regularly if you watch moiy 'study with me's," she says again, just lying her ass off. What utter pondscum.

You can also get "50 pruh-cent off by using the code Grayn-JAH!" which still isn’t her surname.

If I have to hear Ruby say "WAAHRK" again I may have to stop watching her content forever. It feels like every third word in this video is "WhAaARK", even though she's never done a real day's work in her entire life.

"I'm trying to stop waarhk at one forteee-foive because I don't WAAHRK VARRY WAL in the afternyoons? Syo it doesn't seem wahrth it tyoo spend toiyme...WAARHKing from tyoo to four?" It feels like my brain is eroding just listening to her mangle the English language. See a speech therapist, Ruby, please. Hopefully they can beat the fake accent out of you with an Oxford dictionary.

Ruby, you really need to quit YouTube. You've somehow gotten worse than having zero talent and ability. I think watching your videos might actively be making people lose brain cells. 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. Please, for the love of god, just stop.

This.

I’ve said this before, but when I have something positive or constructive to say to Rootabaga, I say it to her in the comment section. All the rest, I bring here. And I keep the two separate. Her many problems seem obvious to us, but our role is to watch the trainwreck, not try to stop it or tell others they should stop it. She has a loving family who are probably doing the best they can, and very good access to help, should she choose to pursue it, but she’s the only one who can choose to do so. Family can only do so much - and we can do nothing that would be even remotely useful or constructive.

"I'm trying to stop waarhk at one forteee-foive because I don't WAAHRK VARRY WAL in the afternyoons? Syo it doesn't seem wahrth it tyoo spend toiyme...WAARHKing from tyoo to four?"
I’m gonna try this out at waahrk, idk it just seems varry productive and above all conducive to my goals which mainly have to do with me having mahrr free toyim 💫

"They rebel against the key standards of children's literature" - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Which key standards? 'Key standards' is such weird phrasing to me.

She uses ”key” a lot and I’m pretty sure it just means anything her teacher told her to underline in her class notes

I hate to say it but most UK universities have duck all in terms of MH support. I have a sibling at Exeter and their support is almost non-existent, I went to Birmingham and they got rid of their full time paid counsellors yet paid our VC one of the highest salaries in the country, for him doing nothing but sitting around being homophobic.
That's really sad and frustrating. Can't believe they got rid of their full time counsellors. Think I'll have to Google the Birmingham VC because I've heard nothing about him or the homophobia. :confused: My sister's uni seemed to offer decent support. It's one of the Scottish ones, so not sure if that makes a difference.

This is probably true tbh. 😂 Roomba's definitely the type to class her ''Lewis Carroll mood board'' as part of her dissertation work.

Don't u think its cruel to make fun of someone with an obvious mental disorder? Shouldn't we leave her alone and stop watching her if that's the case? No point in making fun of someone very ill

On the subject of Perlego ads: Ruby posted another #gifted Miss Patina item. I saw it on her IG yesterday and the (gifted) text was even tinier than usual.

I predict there'll be increasing backlash against influencers receiving large amounts of free stuff. It's very insensitive given the cost of living crisis. Materialistic Ruby really is the worst version of Ruby. She has so many clothes already, but sees no problem in accepting more, even if she's not planning to wear them more than once. Then she sells the things she doesn't wear on Depop. I wish she'd just wear the clothes she has or at the very least donate her second-hand clothes instead of selling them.

Yeah, the Birmingham VC I'm talking about is David Eastwood - idk if the homophobia will be online but having gone to that university, he was not a nice man, and I'm pretty sure he made it very hard for the staff to put forward plans for a staff LGBTQ+ group. The current VC is Adam Tickell, who came straight from Sussex, and you can find his transphobia everywhere so we've just gone from bad to worse tbh.

I'm glad your sister's uni has better support - lack of mental health support is common across most UK universities from what I've heard - and it does make me think that Ruby has probably been failed by them herself (which makes me really sad because she deserves better)

I just spent half an hour responding to your non-argument in Ali Abdaal's thread, do you really not have anything better to do?

I think it's abundantly clear here that we do care about Ruby in the sense that we don't want her to die and we want her to get better. There's also really very little here that is truly cruel - poking fun is what this website is about, you're at the wrong place if you want to shine sunshine up their asses. Even if Ruby is struggling with something, she is making the choice to broadcast that to the internet, just as she made the choice to take the holocause memorial money and she currently makes the choice to do four Perlego ads in a day.

Also, making fun isn't the same as holding someone accountable. God knows I get held accountable daily despite my mental illnesses. But she's a privileged, wealthy girl whois completely tone deaf to anything happening outside of her bubble. Much like Ali Abdaal, strangely. Funny how that happens.

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.

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.

My thesis will suddenly just become tangents of just how banana-y banana tea tastes or how giving someone a gift is a part of gift giving.
