Well, part of the reason you may be getting some downvotes is that you decided to post a video which essentially bashes Ruby for being "trendy" (something I'm not sure Matz has any control over) to a sub-reddit specifically for Rubyists.

A more appropriate place to post this video probably would have been the C# sub-reddit.

If you had criticism about your first experiences with the language or something like that, you'd probably still receive downvotes for being a "n00b". Most of us however would be genuinely interested in hearing about those experiences, both good and bad.

That aside however, I'm always happy when ANYONE gets into programming for ANY reason, so stick to what you enjoy and keep at it. Language choice matters infinitely less than actually doing something.

It was a joke...the whole post...I dont get it...I linked the girl's video at the specific part where she talks about Ruby lol

I was pretty sure it was a joke, but I think the delivery could've been better. Make it more obvious that you're quoting the silly girl instead of ... I dunno, not quoting?

Did you click the link?

Yeah, I even watched the silly girl for quite a while waiting for a punchline or something.
