HASN'T SHE DONE THIS BEFORE!?
HASN'T SHE DONE THIS BEFORE!?
You are right she did this last year but instead of 15 things to do for back to school it was 35 things, honestly her content is a consent repeat of everything that she has done before and it is getting boring as a result because she is just recycling the same stuff that she has talked about before.hold on a minute with her new video...
HASN'T SHE DONE THIS BEFORE!?
Her use of “*always*” reminds me of a certain snobby someone…
what does she know of the economic crisis? So patronising, the people who can barely afford food and heating aren't thinking of buying their washi tapes from a small brand they're thinking about how they can make their wages last the month
I wonder why everyone assumes she’s being sneaky about this sort of tit
Yeah, this is the exact same self-aggrandising lie-filled bullshit video she made last year, with all the same tips of things she never does herself.hold on a minute with her new video...

Another day, another instance of Ruby claiming she "AWHLWHEYS" does something she almost never does.
You know, I seriously hope she got out of that Hermione mentality because you can't just... Impersonate a fictional caracters... They are written to have flaws. Hermione has flaws. Many of which are just a reflection of JK Rowling's flaws. Feminity is always portrayed as bad in the HP universe, wether that is with the likeable female characters all being portrayed as "tomboys" or "not like the other girls" (Tonks, Ginny, Hermione, Luna...) or the "typical" female characters being portrayed as superficial or even unbearrable (Cho Chang, Lavender Brown...) or even with Dolores Umbridge, who is the incarnation of everything feminine and perceived by many as worst than Voldemort himself.Her use of “*always*” reminds me of a certain snobby someone…
No she doesn't *always* declare ads. She just posted about those Perkier snack bars saying that it 'wasn't a sponsorship or anything', except she does have a long-standing connection to Perkier. They've been sending her boxes of gifted snack bars for years now. Just because they're not sponsoring that specific post doesn't mean there isn't a relationship between her current recommendation and her previous/future sponsorships. I can't tell whether she's deceptive or just dumb.

Also, I disagree with the last sentence. A lot of the time, shopping from small, independent retailers is more expensive than buying mass-produced items. It's hard for smaller shops to compete price-wise with larger stores. It's easy for someone like Ruby to say 'don't buy clothes from Primark' for example, but the truth is, people buy from Primark because the clothes are really cheap and lots of people don't have the money to shop around in different places. If anything, the economic crisis will make it harder for consumers to be selective about their buying habits because they'll be forced to opt for whatever option's cheapest. I don't think she understands that a lot of people won't be doing that much shopping, full stop.
I hear what you're saying, but I think Ruby's version of activism would be the most patronising rubbish. She's too sheltered and uninformed to talk about these issues without sounding silly.And I feel like that would be such a good switch for her channel. To very slowly evolve into a channel about philosophy, analysis of literature-related subjects and social issues. She could talk about the way women were treated in the writing industry and women's rights in general, problematic tropes in writing, how you can really do kind things, like small everyday things that could really help people and are not "write a kind note to your mama" bullshit.
Like, "Give a water bottle to a homeless person" ? duck off that is so out of touch. Talk about how if you're 21 or older and have some spare time you probably can get involved with an organisation who does safe injection sites or distribution of stuff like food, sanitary products...
She sounds like a year 9 student who just found out the Weimar Republic'because of the economic crisis x' that feels so bleeping condescending
You have such a good point there.Also, I disagree with the last sentence. A lot of the time, shopping from small, independent retailers is more expensive than buying mass-produced items.

I mean sadly you're right, and even if she did it well, she would just give that celebrity cover of Imagine energy.I hear what you're saying, but I think Ruby's version of activism would be the most patronising rubbish. She's too sheltered and uninformed to talk about these issues without sounding silly.
