Someone's already called her out again for her invading the privacy of everyone she can in the library and beyond, just so she can get more shots of herself pretending to study for 5 minutes in various locations. In true Ruby fashion, she's chosen to respond with gaslighting lies,.
The filming of other students and other people in communal spaces has been brought up in her comments before. She's aware of it and just ignored it because doing people the basic courtesy of asking for consent or blurring them meant more work for her. Her future videos will be no different and nothing will change.
Her excuse that she only won't blur someone when most of their face is obscured is a complete lie. In this video, the previous video and countless others before, she's just not bothered blurring the majority of people around campus, in private study areas, in coffee shops and restaurants, etc. Their full faces have been on display.
In just the first TWALVE SACKONDS of this video, there's two shots of people's faces clearly visible:
Later on, she films the same girl in the background from multiple angles, changing the camera position to make her the centre of the shot:
Given the angle and what a completely unconvincing job Ruby does at pretending to study while awkwardly hunched to one side, it's weirdly voyeuristic and feels like Ruby was intentionally trying to film other people over her shoulder.
Other people walk by and talk to the person in the background, Ruby makes no effort to blur them, either.
Ruby hops on a train back home (for JANUINELY the FARRST TOIME THIS TARRM! (SQUINT)) and films some people there, too.
She tags along on her sister's trip to the WASS ANDYIERSONN ACKZIBIT to pay lip service to her fake interest in the filmmaker and films everyone there, too, with no effort to blur anyone.
This is just one video, too.
Every Oxford vlog is full of her filming people in private university study areas and libraries where filming for commercial purposes requires university permission or isn't allowed, with no effort to obtain that permission or blur people's faces.
In this video, she blurs
one person - coincidentally it's the first person shown on-screen. After that, she clearly couldn't be bothered or felt she'd met whatever imaginary quota she's made up for herself.
Ruby's often getting on her soapbox and performatively yammering about THEEEE IMPWORETANCE OF LAHHHRNING or THEEE BEEYEEEUUUUTEEEE OF AWKWFWUD UNIVARRRRSITY'S STODDY AREAS AND CAMPOSS. But in her videos she shows a constant, entitled disregard for other people who want to enjoy those spaces for their intended purpose as a safe space to study in peace.
But rather than be honest and say, "I might blur one person at random just so my fans can argue that I do it, but I generally don't really blur people because I just can't be bothered - I'm really lazy and don't really pay attention to what I'm editing and really don't want to have to, plus other people's comfort, consent and right to privacy doesn't really affect me, so I don't give a shit," she chose to gaslight and lie.
Meanwhile, she's crammed in countless undeclared ads everywhere, yet again:
She advertises (with zero disclaimers) shit from RAMMADEEEE KYOMBYOOCHAAAAA, PONKEYPOD TIFFTEA, ED-starter-kit mainstay Manilife and more.
She shoehorns in an awkwardly long shot of herself using her laptop, for no other reason than to shoehorn in an ad for that dodgy CleanMyMacX bloatware program she got paid to use recently.
To advertise the actual sponsor, she rambles about MANTLE HALTH intermittently for the entire video, but in light of all the other dodgy, dishonest ads, it comes off as especially fake. She clearly hates being at uni and is only there because of the superficial trophy appeal of being at Oxford because she thinks it proves she's an innately genius, despite all evidence to the contrary. Meanwhile she's completely out of her depth and looks on the verge of tears for most of her time at Oxford.
There's scope for her to make an honest, meaningful video about her mental health, but her talking about "carving out time for rest" and "prioritising mental health" is ultimately fake and pointless when she only does that in videos wherein she advertises some kind of paid, sponsored mental health service. She wags her finger again that WE need to normalise going home, yet she lies about herself doing it all the time. None of her mental health talk rings true and isn't helpful to her younger viewers when she's still going all in on the ED-baiting while blatantly faking the timescales of her study videos, wildly embellishing everything she does and lying about reading books and academic texts to make herself seem infinitely busier and more productive than she is.
Speaking of fake:
Ruby jumps in to say she finds it AVVER SYO INTRASSTING, rather than just say, "YASS, OIY
DYOO MODEL MOIY ACCENT ON MOIY MYOST FAVOURAT CHOYLDHYUD OIDOL AMMA WATSYON, BOHT NOW OIY'VE MADE SHORE TYOO PRETAND TYOOO BEEEE AMMA WATSYON AS AN ADOLT AT AWKSFUD, AND THAT IS WHOIY MOIY VOICE IS SOMMTOIMES DEEPAH AND WHOIY OY AWHLWHEYS START MOIY SANTANCES WITH RANDOM LIP-SMACKING AND CLUCKING, JOSST LOIKE AMMA WATSYON DOZZ!"
It is interesting that people are still fooled by her embarrassingly fake AMMA WATSYON accent, even as it changes wildly and vanishes completely throughout just this video.
