The first Grade video I've laughed at for a while
tl;dw Grade is no longer happy with the videos he makes, suffers stress because he spends too much time doing it, and is dedicating less time and removing his upload schedule in order to "get his video making boner back"
never saw this one coming.
boohoo I make thousands of dollars shouting over ms paint drawings life is boring and sad to me
I was listening to him rant and about halfway through said, "Suck it up, you fucking pussy." If making youtube videos is sooooo stressful, find a different profession.
is ranting and making mspaint drawings that would probably take 2 or 3 hours of work tops per video really that stressful?

It's hard work inventing drama to be angry about
Reminds me of when one of my favorite Youtubers made a sub milestone video and said something like:
"It's traditional at this point for people to talk about how this has been a long, rough rocky ride, but it hasn't. It's been easy. I can't do anything to make this job sound difficult, it really really isn't."
ADoseOfBuckley?
Hey, I can do this, too. I should record a video of myself complaining about how my YouTube channel is underappreciated and receives almost no hits or subscribers, feel sorry for me.
I mean, it may have to do with the fact that I haven't ever really attempted to use my channel seriously and for the past five years I've used it for nothing but hosting gameplay clips with most of them set to unlisted, but why let logic get in the way of a good pity party rant like the big YouTubers like GAUA do? :downs:
I mean, it could be he's realized the drama aspect is whats killing it and he's taking a break to avoid making more of them.
Maybe go back to what he used to make, I unno.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;51119102]ive done a lil youtube for a bit and honestly it wasn't that much work?? and i put in a reasonable amount of effort i'd say, i went over everything i recorded which was like 3h of stuff at a time to snip out all the inane shit which translates in 3h of work on top of the recording how the fuck are these youtubers spending like 46h on editing a video it's all the same dogshit editing anyway with premade templates anyway how the fuck[/QUOTE]
especially since he doesnt even do anything but rant about simple shit. maybe he ran out of simple shit to rant about and got lost and confused.
I can take his place, and all of his followers. Seriously, I'll keep the shit mspaint theme and griping about mundane garbage as the core theme, and not do anything drama related. I promise.
Grade mate, you make ten to twenty minutes of you talking over MS-paint (about irrelevant shit that no one cares about), I doubt it takes that fucking long to make your kind of videos

like i guess when you're trying to muster up shit to say it might take that long
Here I am waiting for a confirmation on a date to go work far far from my home full time with no doubts just to make decent money and get something out of my skills and my mother is working 8 am till 2 pm and then she spends the rest of the day till 9 pm teaching English to children to feed her family and I listen to this fucker being tired of making ms paint videos? I don't want to be dramatic with my personal shit but reality doesn't seem to want to knock on this kids door.
I would take the "the videos obviously don't require much effort" argument if it weren't for the fact that the script takes the best chunk out of this type of video. Yeah, the visuals are in MS paint and might take a few hours to draw everything and put it together (more or less depending on content and length) but that's not the main focus; in order to write well you not only have to dedicate time purely to deciding what to write about and to put your ideas on paper, but you also have to edit, revise, and most importantly, make it funny. Most of the humor in scripted videos isn't put in the first time it was written; walking away from a work for a day or two to think about it and enhance its content and come up with jokes that work and are funny is important as well as time consuming. It's the same reason that internet post arguments are worse than essays, it's how much time was spent as well as how often you glanced over it and revised it with a fresh mind and new thoughts.
That being said, I don't buy the constant staying up countless hours to make a video; if you're pouring pure restless time into it then you're doing it wrong. If you don't walk away from it you're just going to get slower and less productive. You can't force writing, no wonder his videos lately have been shit.
I don't know what's going on with his life right now; I somehow doubt that YouTube is the only thing that he does all day everyday. He's making it sound like YouTube is literally his life and the time he doesn't spend making videos is when he eats, shits, and sleeps, which is full of shit.

funny thing here is that this reads exactly like something he'd say

Too bad most of his recent videos are just dumb drama bullshit that require very little effort and the rest are just recycled thoughts that have been done to death.
he should either quit, or go back to his old style of videos
compare his school, tinder, racism test, english alphabet or interviews video to any of his new stuff. The difference is huge.

...but can you do a silly voice?
That's the most important part clearly.

That and do you promise to not show your true colors by showing to everyone that you're an asshole outside of your YT videos?
Sounds like it actually started feeling like a job, instead of a fun hobby and fucking around in free time away from his previous job (whatever that was, I assume he's quit at this point).

Grade's downfall I think. His way of responding to criticism was to just fuel it instead of actually listening. He did not care and he thought that if someone said something negative about him then that person has no credibility because he/she is just a whinging brat who doesn't know what they're talking about. He is literally a tyrannical cunt. And if you say one thing bad about Grade in the comments section, then expect his barrage of fans to fucking lose it.
Remember when he would just make videos about girly drinks vs manly drinks? I miss that.
31 to 46 hours on a video that is made in movie maker and paint? What the fuck? I'm guessing he reuses a lot of his images of his characters so it's not like he is redrawing everything.

Even if he was redrawing everything that's still overkill

I've made videos way more complex than what grade's doing
The longest it's taken me is 15 hours and that was only because I was learning premiere for the first time
I can't imagine what he's doing in WMM that's so complex
I think that pigeon has brain damage.
It's been a while since I watched GradeA. What happened to him?
He jumped on the Drama bandwagon and has gone right off the edge of the cliff since then, his videos were amusing and relatable at first but he went generic as fuck really fast.
"i don't want to get into the drama"
proceeds to make 8 videos about it
people complain about it
"i'm sorry for making the drama videos and i won't do it again (btw fuck those people complaining, especially the mod that didn't delete the complaints after i asked them to)"
