Yes I also know people like that! But if they benefit from it, they spend money. for example for showing off or something.In my experience, rich people are far more reluctant to spend money. I have a friend whose parents literally own 2 houses and when we were at a christmas market once she bought me a 50 p doughnut and then immediately sent me her bank details. Whereas my friends who aren't well off will buy me a £1 drink and not demand immediate repayment
God people like this are bellends, and the worst thing is, they’re absolute hypocrites coz they’ll happily accept you paying for stuff and won’t even think to send you any money after.In my experience, rich people are far more reluctant to spend money.

When I read her comment my mind went straight to the washi tape.Ruby: "I love books syo syo moch! The acksperiance of reading a bock is warth annie cost! Physical books asspashally syo!"
Also Ruby: "It's HOW MUCH?! $17?! You're charging the average RRP of a new book for a new book?! HOW DAHHR YOO."
Ruby: "People shoddn't chyarge the wrong proice for thyings. Oiy think that's tyoo moch to ackspact peepol tyo pay and oiy dyon't agryee with it."
Also Ruby: "Please boiy moiy new nyotebock. It's flyimsy and cheap-lyooking and only has 80 pyages. It's £9. Also buy this crinkled ribbon. £6."
In her Boston YouTube video when she said that she visited the Harvard book store and it wasn't "the best" idk but it felt like she was trying to put herself "above" it somehow. Like it wasn't "literary" enough for her. Lol. Most bookstores located near campuses serve students and will most likely sell academic texts/textbooks so it won't just be the classics with fancy covers.
Also, I find it funny that she says that Boston isn't really a place for literary tourism when it's actually often referred to as the "birthplace of American literature" and there is even a map of Boston's Literary District online with all the homes of famous authors and other landmarks (but this is for someone who is actually into American literature and has more knowledge or interest in the city's history, references in books, and authors' lives. I also think I may have found the website she may have used to come up with her itinerary for her trip to Boston here. It's a very touristy website and all the book stores she went to are listed there.
She's only talked about Edgar Allan Poe, Louisa May Alcott, and Emily Dickinson, but there is also Sylvia Plath, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and so many other influential American authors who were born in or lived in Boston and other areas in Massachusetts throughout their literary careers. And since she did visit Amherst, I wonder if she'll mention that David Foster Wallace attended Amherst College. The thing about American authors is that you also need to have an understanding of the historical and social context in which they lived in order to glean a deeper and richer understanding of their work. It would have been nice if her literary tour had extended into something dealing with American history as well. In a 3-week period she could have easily fit in so much!
And I also wonder if she'll ever mention Emily Dickinson's letters and relationship with Susan Gilbert.
Surely Ruby should know that not every bookshop that she goes too sell classics. It is like she expects to find classics in every bookshop that she goes to when bookshops will only sell the books that are in demand as any bookshop will be hesitant to stock a book unless it sells well, is already in the book charts, is regularly asked for by customers in the store or if the book or author is of local interest.So she also got annoyed that the bookshop in Boston didn't sell classics.
That's probably because she's implying that Waterstones is the best. Still running after a collaboration, apparently...In her Boston YouTube video when she said that she visited the Harvard book store and it wasn't "the best"
Yes this!! I'd take a good old "How To Act Like Hermione in a Park in Boston" over whatever her current content is supposed to be tbh. At least the Hermione videos were weird but fun, now it's just weird!After seeing some of her most recent videos I just can’t deal with this girl anymore. Sure, her hermione granger cosplay days were cringy and all but at least they seem more genuine than whatever poor-victorian-child-misunderstood-genius-poet-born-in-the-wrong-era-anne-shirley-wannabe shit she’s doing right now. Everything about her just screams performative. It’s got to the point where I can’t even hate-watch her for fun because I get genuinely annoyed lol
Also, for the love of god can she please stop using those mouse click sounds every 5 seconds
I don't think even competent editing would make her videos watchable at this point, it'd just make it less embarrassing when she makes a paid, sponsored video full of laziness and errors.@gossip_guy Roobee should hire you. At least her videos would be nicely edited and they would be funny, which would be two enormous improvements to the messy, boring and borderline creepy stuff she's sharing now.
