I'm actually so bothered with how messy she is with that Beetroot latte video with how much she spills things and just leaves the mess.
I havent seen it until now and her "turn camera on, pour something, turn it off, turn on again pour another thing, turn off again" style really bothered me.

I think its the 2 seconds everytime she re-starts the video and checks if it has started and camera loosing focus and refocusing every damn time she poured something

Someone has just commented on Ruby's video by saying about Tattle and Ruby has said she would value constructive criticism if people said it to her directly.
I saw someone in the comments ask 'anyone hear from Tattle Life. The comment has 3 thumbs up currently....um...We don't do that, do we? I personally wouldn't.....

I have noticed that the person who mentioned Tattle to her has since deleted the comment.
Its still there at this moment. If its the same one?

2) please for the love of god people DO 👏 NOT 👏 MENTION 👏 TATTLE 👏 to creators, that’s precisely how they then get to claim we’re bullying them - let’s just PLEASE keep the conversation among ourselves
Yeah I was a bit disappointed to see the Tattle life comment(s)

I am a minute or so into the latest video and all I can hear over Ruby 's voice is that poor dog howling from downstairs 😂

"Owoooooppo! Howwwooooooooo!"
Poor dog.

I am a bit late to the party with the Wuthering Heights booklook but 1) that beret makes her look like the little mushroom dude from Mario, and 2) there’s some exquisite irony in her talking about desolation whilst filming herself in the junk-yard that is her garden.

Regardless of how we feel about Roobee and the quality of her videos, and in spite of the way she has ruined The Nutcracker for us, let’s at least be grateful she’s no longer using the music starting at 2:42 in this video:

Dear sweet Jesus that went on far, far too long.

Ruby’s showing a staggering lack of insight with that competition. I think that she genuinely assumes that every school is exactly like hers, being in England, single sex (all girls, obvs) and independent, with students like her who want an aesthetic planner that they can cover with washi tape and mildliner highlights.

I can’t see most young people being blown away by that planner, particularly if they are teenage and male, and Ruby needs to realise that not all schools have half-term at the same time. Half-term where I am stretches over two weeks, depending on the school and area. Also what is she going to do if the winner is abroad? I doubt she wants to post thirty-odd planners abroad and I’m sure she’s already had grumbles that the planner is based on the Northern hemisphere’s school year and doesn’t really work in somewhere like Australia.

Also, the fact that she’s still got enough planners to give that many away suggests that sales were less than stellar this year.

I'm confused as to why her LinkedIn states that she graduated in 2023. Did she do this to make it seem like she hasn't been out of school for that long? Or is it just a mistake?
She still hasn't changed her Youtube "About" section as well, even though people have commented on that under her previous videos. Her response is always something like omg, yessss, you are so right, i've been just SO BUSY!

"My name is Ruby and I'm a 20 year old university student studying English Literature at The University of Exeter."

4. Unclaimed ads everywhere. Tea, her planner, Kombucha drink, and her dream of a Waterstones sponsorship.
the way she sits the kombucha on the desk and slowly turns it around so we can see the logo. TWICE

also, does anyone else get an astronomically high number of ads on her videos? i got one within the first minute

That was my first thought, too. I Googled "carlisle jumper" and it looks like there is a brand called Carlisle who sell really expensive ($300+ per jumper) women's clothing though, so maybe that's what she meant.

They're not a househould brand that many people have heard of as far as I'm aware, so my SponsorSense is telling me they gifted her the jumper ages ago and it's an undeclared ad. Her saying "it's the thickest Carlisle jumper I own" implies she owns multiple, but who knows what Ruby means with her tenuous grasp of the English language.

I mean, she keeps on talking about "the space between the eyes" when talking about being mindful, when I'm sure what she should be saying is "what's right in front of me". This is the second time she's said it this month. Unless she's literally just sat cross-eyed, counting the fake freckles on the bridge of her nose as a means of relaxation.

Does she mean "the space between my ears" (i.e. her brain, although space is probably more accurate for Ruby)

The first impression I get from this is that she has no focus. Not in the classes she took, not in the activities she participated in. While there is always something to be said for being well-rounded, these are very weak interests. Trampolining and Surfing will get you nowhere in life. I don't even remember her talking about surfing while at Uni, other than a few times going with her father. If she is not competing in these sports, why is she filling up precious time with them? My POV is seeing this through the eyes of an American. Maybe it is different over in the UK, but involvement in sporting activities through school or university usually means being on a team or competing at some level. Where are the competitions and how did she place? Or did she just randomly go to a gym and jump up and down on a trampoline? Weird. Harry Potter Society....nothing needs to be said there. It is frivolous and considering the way the majority of her fans now feel about JK Rowling, it isn't something I would personally advertise! I get that Rowling went to Exeter, so the connection there, but still, there surely were more challenging literature themed societies being offered? Theology...again, I don't remember her ever sharing any information on being a member or what they did. Besides, that is related to the major she quit, so that doesn't look particularly promising. Especially since she is either Agnostic or an Atheist. I forget which she proclaimed. It just seems like a filler to me. If asked about her participation in detail I would expect very little would emerge.

She only took 3 classes in her third year? Why? I took 6 every semester. 5 for my major in English Lit and 1 elective. Is this typical in UK education? Why is she listing her classes? That is so strange!
I’m American too but there’s plenty of clubs, organizations, and sports that don’t need to be competitive if you don’t want them to be. Sometimes it’s just fun to participate in something just for fun without the pressure of competition. But I agree with everyone about it not being very relevant to put it on her CV. Reminds me of when i reluctantly removed Space Society Email Coordinator off of mine 😂😂

Oh no, my greatest fears have come true! She's reading The Brothers Karamazov on her latest Instagram story...

I don't know if I should be excited about the upcoming hilarious Goodreads review or dread the inevitable massacre one of my favourite books will suffer...
lol she was first spotted pretending to read it about a year ago, she'll abandon it quickly enough once she realises there's very little scope for cosplay/a sneaky Mispah Teena ad opportunity.

She was so rough banging things against the glass and then hurriedly stirring the (fragile) glass straw around the ice cubes. I wouldn't be surprised if her straw shatters in the drink, one day. She's very heavy handed with things.
Literally tho. A couple of times I actually jumped. She bashes her shit around so disrespectfully. When she was making that weird cold brew thing, the shaking of the almond milk rattled me, then she went and bloody smashed the ceramic mug against the glass. She needs to sort out her sound set-up because with headphones on, that was the soundscape of hell.

That little "booklet" she read is more like a pamphlet. Is she seriously going to consider that as a book she has read? omg, talk about desperate measures.

I personally have no interest in reading Spare. Most people didn't know who Megan Markle was until they got engaged and those who did had a poor view of her. Harry would have been better off being a working Royal, imo. He says they left for privacy, then they write a book, make a show, go on talk shows. Where is this private life you so desired? Nothing but a messed up kid blaming everyone for his troubles. Yes, losing their mother was a horrible and traumatic thing. We all remember the tragedy. We never get a chance to forget it. But here in the US, we really wish all the news about both of them would just disappear. There are so many more important things in the world, right now, and as we don't have a monarch, we don't care all that much about what goes on behind closed doors. It sounds like basic family drama, to be honest, and any family can have it. He isn't special in that way. I don't want to hear about anyone's skeletons in the closet or their family drama, so a no read for me.

That being said, I am sure I can imagine some of the subjects that came up, as it has been in the tabloid headlines, and doubt she read every section. Like so many others, I feel like she is just wasting this year off and if she is going to try for Oxford, she sure is going down the wrong rabbit hole.
exactly. harry lived such a privileged so idk why he did this tbh. not to mention the fact he killed 25 people and said they were like chess pieces. he uses the excuse that they were taliban fighters but we all know they were normal civilians

Also, adding Trampolining Society and Harry Potter society (VP) is definitely not the kind of thing you add to a professional LinkedIn profile as an adult. I wouldn't even have added this to my academic resume as a teen. Lol.
the societies seem so random and not relevant to a job. I thought carefully which hobbies to put on my CV and decided to mention those that show 1. my interest in the job and 2. didn't sound boring or childish (like creating stitch markers with shrink foil, which I did the other day 😃 it's a fun activity, but I only state in my CV the relevant things that show that I am a creative person.
on my LinkedIn I only list what I did study and that I was an editor at a student newspaper. maybe I should add that I went to the university-gym.

After the cut, she's smiling nervously, like someone on a reality TV show trying to summon the courage to down a shot of liquified donkey dick to win a jungle challenge.

I was looking at Ruby's Insta story earlier and she is showing, or bragging, that she is 270+ pages into The Brothers Karamazov. Is she utterly proud of herself for reading a book longer than 50 pages? I mean, she goes on and on about how much she loves the classics and Victorian Lit., but the average Victorian novel is over 400 pages and if you start getting into Russian Lit you might as well expect something 600 pages or much, much longer. She really has lived her life under a rock. How can you act amazed about this when you already have your BA in English Lit? I'm so confused.
Long time lurker here and I follow her on Goodreads, TBH I was pretty dumbfounded by seeing her "progress" with BK. She started reading it on the 16th of January and today she is 250 pages in. To make things clear, I'm all for slow reading and enjoying the experience, I imagine she'd have a lot of googling to do as a newbie to Russian lit. But for someone who, as OP says, loves (and knows) the classics and "reads" over a hundred books a year? Pardon me?
I'm a Russian language and lit masters student and I have to read these tomes in a week or 2, maybe along with another book(s). And although not everyone in my class does it, it is manageable! It's possible to read BK in less than 10 days (along with uni work, attendance and a job). So I feel like there might be a problem with real classics and her reading level. Just maybe.

Can't remember who made the comment about Rubrid moving over to short-form videos, but TikTok/Shorts seems way more her style.

Shorter content so you don't have to make nearly as much effort with editing (which we all know she hates), way more easy to sneak undeclared ads into it, you can hash out the same shit and people notice less, and there's no need to go into detail about anything because you can hide behind the guise of "uwu short-form content not enough time to give a real review of this book I claim I JANYOOENLY loved sorry!!!"

As far as I can remember, someone called her out on the board not making any sense, and she replied with something about ”this is just staged for the photo, we only play chess at night” 😂 In the dark? Where no one can see?
It pisses me off how she makes up the most lame excuses to try to cover her lies upon lies

And don't forget her terrible chess short story, where she showed she doesn't understand how any of the pieces move or what pawns look like:

That piece of prose is fucking terrible. It makes no sense at all. What does she mean 'we play chess at an eight by eight board, but outside the sky is grey. Not black, or white, but in between'. Does she mean we play it ON a board? And what does that have to do with a sky? This is actual trash.
