I guess at least she put a brief disclaimer at the beginning. Side note does anyone else not like the decorating style of their house? I like old fashioned stuff and I'd love to have a big house like that in the country but it just looks so... Dusty. Like wtf was with that absolutely destroyed chair when she was mopping the floors? It looked like it was the first time the floors had ever been mopped.

Boater on, lines racked, hwfgVictorian Scullery Maid Routine just dropped....
Yeh I kind of just don't get her channel. Like if she was 11 or 12 the victorian video she made would be quite good. But shes a fully grown 20 year old woman so I cant help mentally comparing it to other properly researched and edited videos about the victorians made by other 20 year olds and hers seems so ridiculously childish?
E.g.
E.g.
Yes! She could go the route of the historical fashion/beauty YouTubers (*cough* meme mom Karolina) and combine funny/chill content with historical research and facts, which would make her videos a lot more interesting and professional imo
What did irritate me about that (apart from all of it) was that there was very little context - as in, the Victorian period lasted for a very long time and saw massive social, political and economic change. You can’t just quote a figure for a wage, for example, without giving an indication of when that figure was from - early, mid or late Victorian?

YES exactly, it was 64 I think years long right? Imagine someone quoting a wage from 1960 and saying that was representative of 2021?!
Considering she wanted to teach her viewers about the the lives of servants she didn't actually say much?? There was so much variation in the lives of servants, some were treated as members of the family, others were abused and even murdered by their employers. They were often controlled so strictly, not being allowed to wear certain fabrics or have certain haircuts. There was so much more Ruby could have said here, I feel like she really did the minimum and this came across more as an opportunity to do a bit of acting rather than to educate.
Slight OT, but I absolutely adore Karolina, check her out people!
I just watched Ruby's video and scrolled through the comments for a bit; looks like we'll be getting some night routines as well...
Her dad works in finance/banking? And I think her mum is an opticians assistant? I'm not sure tho
I feel if she wants to make these sorts of educational videos they would work better as general discussion/lecture type things - like for instance she could role-play as a teacher teaching about a time period. That way she could be far more flexible - e.g. addressing the length of the period and the ways in which wages would change, the different roles servants would have rather than just the one. She could also provide more information about how servants were mistreated + the actual hardships they would face - it's impossible for her to properly display those things in this type of video, because it would get very dark very fast and she has a young audience to think about. I agree that this feels more like an opportunity for her to act than to educate. If she were 'teaching' the material, you wouldn't get all the issues with her obviously living in luxury pretending to be a servant, she could just deliver the information. It wouldn't be anywhere near as 
aesthetic though.

They have a storage company and her dad is a director of various businesses, mostly in stock selling
No it wasn’t. There’s been previous discussion about the state of the house.
It strikes me as very chilly too. Brrrr
I wonder if her coke is vegan?
I can picture Ruby skipping off through the fields to met her dealer
I cringed at the wrinked linen apron, surely garments had to be pressed and starched, even for servants. I feel like the disclaimer was for our benefit.
The bun updo suits Ruby though.
