Ruby Granger #44 To be or not to be pretentious, that is the subjective question.

[Binx]

on my YouTube homepage her Emily Dickinson museum video came up for recommended, I forget, how did she come to work with them again? pr? did she reach out to them as an influencer?

 

[StatusWoe]

If she used this conference as a soft launch for her thesis topic, and it flopped, I imagine she is panicking even more than usual right now. Hence the lack of normal scheduled cringe content.

Yeah that's a point. Or maybe the proposed topic was rejected again. It would be stressful to have to rethink it.

 

[MavisBeacon]

Apologies for noob q, but how old is she?

 

[Griftwood]

It’s Wednesnight, are we getting a video or no?

 

[Sibyl Vane]

Can we please not go down this slippery slope?

I'm just here to say that the coffee machine was surprisingly clear (mostly). Someone must have felt sorry for that poor machine... Not the floor though. Or the stove.

I'm not even... I won't even try to add anything to this besides that I wonder when Ruby will do this in the future :')

What does unhauling mean in this context? Guess I'll have to go over to the Jack Edwards thread to find out.

 

[nobluefrogs]

A random thought but did Ruby do history at A-Level?

 

[hart301]

New video dropped… she’s on a roll

 

[Sibyl Vane]

I wonder whether Holly will get a shrine right next to Blakeneys?

Depends if they happen to be bosom sisters.

"this book feels verbal"

I swear you could track the gradual death of her brain cells down to the minute.
---
she's now used "ascribe to" incorrectly four times and stated that Dakota Warren's poems are on par with Mary Oliver, somebody come pull me out of this swamp of stupidity
---
Philip Pullman's essays are all about how writers need to "use good words"
---
mispronounced "Karamazov" yet again
---
"I would not take a sponsorship for a book I didn't like because it would feel unethical" my eyes are literally watering from the irony

Nooo not Karamazov again

Nowhere near as much as she made 5 years ago when she brought the cottage. On a good video, she is pulling in a qaurter of the views she was getting on a bad video in 2020. Most of her subs are dead accounts these days, obvious by the low view count on her videos and the lack of engagement she should be getting on tiktok and Instagram for an account of her size. She literally can't give away her planners. And most of her ads aren't paid, she does them in exchange for free products/experiences/ subscriptions, with the slim chance of commission if she can swindle her viewers into buying into whatever nonsense she is hawking and use her code while doing it. Which she can't. I don't remember the last time she did an actual for-money, paid promotion.

I wasn't really following ruby at the time she bought the cottage, does anyone have any pictures of it?

Her latest insta reel talks about the academic conference.

 

[hart301]

I could be very wrong but it looks like Hermione when she was turned into a cat in the second book/movie.

Makes sense!!

 

[duchess_wallis]

Is that one of us..? (Also for the other comments, avishekdatta7908 already made some weird comments related to addictions on her videos.)

gotta be both drunk and dreaming if you think anything of that sort

Good point but you can learn stuff once you get the idea. Like many struggle with tying shoelaces but once they’ve learnt they’ve learnt.

It depends whether the problem is with ideation or execution how quickly a skill is learnt - if ever.

 

[Hannahebee]

It’s Wednesnight, are we getting a video or no?

Nope it looks like we aren't getting a video tonight, perhaps she will upload it tomorrow as usually when she doesn't upload it on Wednesday she decides to release it the day after.

 

[churros]

I'm just at the beginning of the video and the juxtaposition between her voice when she talks about journaling and later voiceover is huge. It's like she de-aged 10 years and sounds like a bubbly teenager again!

This. I was so surprised.

 

[soph30]

I doubt she's dyspraxic, she's actually pretty good at acro for somebody who never practices. She can do a front aerial, back tuck, ect. It's not a coordination issue, it's a motivation issue.

Good point but you can learn stuff once you get the idea. Like many struggle with tying shoelaces but once they’ve learnt they’ve learnt.

''I'm sat at my desk freezing''?? Verbal prodigy anyone....
