[QUOTE=Vodkavia;50515481]Grade is just another example of why giving people money is no sure fire way way to improve their content.
Like a lot of people, grade probably just made his previous videos when he had a good idea for one and it felt like fun; now it's his job which means his incentive is to make money and making money is not optional and thus making videos is no longer optional.[/QUOTE]
Making money is [I]always[/I] optional. I can understand situations in which people legitimately make this kind of thing a living, but if you can work fine without it why would you ever want to add the stresses of turning a hobby into a full time job? I get the appeal for it but that is a HUGE reason as to why I've NEVER been interested in any form of monetization. The instant you start taking money for things you do, the higher the expectations become, the more stress is added to something you used to do for fun in your free time.
Free time is meant to be exactly that. Free. It's your own time. Relax, chill out. Turning your free time into a second job seems so backwards to me. I'm sure it's great for the people that it works with but it's obvious it does not work for everybody. It just seems like a ton of risk to me.
if I could choose between big youtubers and companies totally ignoring gay people, and them just happening to show support when bad shit happens, I think I'd pick the latter.
also, tons of people seem to "Watch" his videos just to complain
like I can understand if you think it's slowly turning to shit but some of you are just bandwagoning at this point. If you hate him so bad block his ass dude just stop giving him views and thus more attention.

On top of having no evidence to back this, you're an asshole.

Im not sure why it seems so impossible that he made the video simply to ride on the wave following this incident. the video is very short. It dosen't follow his standard format (literately all his videos are about things he hates. why change it up for this ONE video) and honestly after all the drama videos i could totally see him trying to ride this "hype train" also.
I really enjoyed his older videos but i just think he has totally lost focus of why people originally liked his content in favor of trying to get those numbers higher.

Grade should take a lesson and treat it more seriously
[QUOTE=ac/14;50510362]He made it because of the incident. He's just lying to hide the fact he's scum trying to piggyback off a tragedy[/QUOTE]
i doubt it was possible for him to animate and edit the video in an hour or two.
I think Grade is a reptile

the video wasn't posted till later on in the day though. Im not 100% sure but I saw it in my sub box around when I was eating lunch (with the video having only been posted minutes before) and that would have given him plenty of time considering his time zone and the fact the incident occurred the night before.
Infact i was wrong. It was posted even later in the day than I thought giving him even MORE time to make it.

[QUOTE=Tudd;50515456]Why doesn't it make sense? It's only 4 minutes, which is super short for him and he has produced stuff much longer relatively fast. And then he proceeds to publish it as if he had to, or else his fanbase might hate him...? Well too late for that.
I just think he is twat honestly at this point. He made a post on the reddit basically saying, "I have no idea why yall think Keemstar was giving me money." Even though his main argument was, "Keemstar will allow my parents to retire, fuck off." for the last month.
The guy basically acts like people have short-term memories or something.[/QUOTE]
Because even though Grade is a massive twat, he's not enough of it to capitalize on the death of 50 fucking people. Besides, even if he did he'd likely realize that this would hurt him more in the long run anyways. He's not fucking stupid and he may be a cunt, but he's not enough of a cunt to do something like this.

So you think he recorded and edited an entire video in less than a day to capitalize on the whole thing? Talk about reaching.

He didn't make it because of the incident, but he [B]is[/B] piggybacking on a tragedy.

I believe that he changed the title from "Why I love gay people" to "My thoughts on gay people" as clickbait so people make sure that he isn't being a total fucktard about all this, given the recent event.

Yah, I think he is honestly. The guy has proven to be able to ignore Keemstar-level acts and is obviously intrigued in drama himself. And psh, hurt him in the long run? The guy couldn't have pissed off his fans more with how he responded to them on reddit, treating his mods like shit, and the drama videos.
Also people suggesting he is not able to produce and edit a 4 minute video in MS paint are seriously naive. His production style is purposely easy to create, especially if he was already working on it before and just decided to go easy clickbait.
He could have easily withheld the video, and just made a announcement on why he wouldn't and people would have respected knowing the subject matter was not right.
I think Gay People are not that bad. They're individuals, they can do whatever they want. But, to me, it's hard to imagine that.
