Mad respect to that Mod and the sub reddit community as a whole.
I don't understand why he doesn't just make an apology video? And to be fair, isn't he meant to be highly educated? I mean, he was a teacher... However, during class, you do NOT call one of your students fucking "retarded"! Apply that to the outside of your prior job Grade! (On another note: Facepunch and Reddit finally agree on something for once)

[QUOTE=bigmansham;50254926]I think GradeA's subreddit has fully rebelled against him. [URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/GradeAUnderA/comments/4ht7fr/transparency_is_key_more_info_in_comments/[/URL] He's also leaving his subreddit [URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/GradeAUnderA/comments/4hu2js/please_read/[/URL][/QUOTE] imagine being so trash your own subreddit hates you
Hindsight 20/20 if noone saw this coming.
[QUOTE=ChronoBlade;50260892]I don't understand why he doesn't just make an apology video?[/QUOTE] Because he has a massive ego.

Seeing Grade's content going downhill is just sad. I wish he was like before, uploading comedy videos about Tinder and stuff. Those were good times.
Jesus fuck this man rose to popularity and wrecked himself in under a year. Good job, good job indeed! The idea of someone ultimately rising high enough to make a decent living off of creating content is an admirable aspiration, and even the videos he put out were full of his content which were funny to chuckle at because of how easy they were relate to. What went wrong with GradeA? Why did he decide to throw his legitimacy out the window to completely fuck himself over with these drama videos? I have absolute little reasoning for this. Drama makes money, yes, but it's cheap money in the form of deriding other people for the sake of boosting your own popularity. And the problem that happens with drama videos is that it promotes a sort of toxicity and exclusion in the community because no one can really enjoy themselves or be themselves anymore without popular users setting the wickerman up and gathering a crowd to burn it in the form of youtube videos. The idea of how widespread this place is becoming is fucking brutal in the form of how fast it's developed. And it's fucking stupid.

I unsubbed from GradeA before it was cool!!!!! Everyone should've unsubbed when he made that video attacking that guy stealing videos or w/e the fuck that was.

what him and keemstar are friends lol
I felt like this was a long time coming honestly Every single youtuber that builds their channel around/falls into the pit of drama, gossip, etc. always and I mean ALWAYS turn out to be egotistical shitbags. Leafy, Grade, and honestly it wont stop there either. I thought H3H3 was going down that same route but he handled the situation relatively tactfully after the fact and got everyone back on board with his content by creating the hot new vape meme I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if people were posting and lauding grades work in as soon as a month if he creates some normal content again, people are fickle
[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;50266522]what him and keemstar are friends lol[/QUOTE] he defends keemstar because keem agrees with him most of the time. i bet if he disagreed with him at all grade would have a meltdown because he cannot take ANY negative criticism [editline]5th May 2016[/editline] [t]http://imgur.com/hZcIjjG.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/RTRgXE3.png[/t] btw if anyone wanted an example of how [i]stellar[/i] he is with taking negative criticism god damn he's a fucking baby lol

[QUOTE=Anonymuzz;50266703]i think the real kicker is the "it falls on deaf ears" bit, as though he expects the subreddit to back him up[/QUOTE] his whole subreddit is now full of criticism and iirc he actually said he's never going back to it (can you guess why?)
I still don't get all the drama and outrage about this. Maybe that's just because I don't subscribe to all of this youtube drama nonsense as a whole (in the literal sense that I simply choose not to watch any of it) or give a shit about any of the people he ragged on, but still. [editline]boop[/editline] Forgot to include the probably more important part of my post, that I share the sentiment that he should stop the drama related videos, but I'm not about to jump on the weird hate bandwagon about it.

I dunno, I avoid this whole drama thing so hard that I only have a vague idea of who Keemstar even is, that vague idea only being what I know from those h3h3 videos. It's really not that terribly hard to avoid all the drama, though it is a little shitty when a youtuber you like gets dragged into it all, it's really not that hard (not for me, at least) to just not watch the videos.
[QUOTE=Skunky;50256962]Please let this end up like the whole "ReactWorld" bullshit and have him lose lots of subscribers, thanks.[/QUOTE] I think this video gained him a few thousand subscribers actually. The truth of the matter is that he never would've gotten this popular without the drama videos.

I feel like both KEEMSTAR and fame has corrupted Grade at this point. I just hope he changes and goes back to being the funny guy everyone knew him as.
[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;50267001]I feel like both KEEMSTAR and fame has corrupted Grade at this point. I just hope he changes and goes back to being the funny guy everyone knew him as.[/QUOTE] I really doubt that. For all we know he probably has always been like that, and only recently we find out what kind of dickhole he can be when he shits out content that people have a legitimate reason to criticize. He sounds so sure of himself and seems to be satisfied with the kind of content he now puts out despite the backlash, someone so head-strong and thick is gonna have to take a huge hit or maybe even lose it all to realize the kind of mistake he made. Plus the kind of vitriolic garbage he gives to people who reasonably and respectfully criticize him isn't something that happens like that through influence, he writes paragraph upon paragraph of ad hominems and just refuses to acknowledge any of the things people say to him. IMO he's always been capable of treating people that, just now he makes content that people dislike and instead of just going "It's ok man I understand this content isn't for everyone" he just goes "Don't like my content? How about you fuck off and unsubscribe you miserable piece of shit, nobody cares about your worthless opinion". He's not going to get out of bed one day and go "Wow, I've been an absolute cunt to my fanbase and made poor decisions over the kind of people I decided to befriend." I probably already said that previously like a lot of other people, but Grade A always came off as a neutral, respectable, critical thinking able person who did his research before making content to me, now it's like he doesn't even try anymore. I lost all respect for the man, he went from a smart interesting guy with relatable jokes to a generic inbred moron who whores drama and makes personal attack videos and has with no respect for people who don't practically kiss his ass. It's a disgusting 180 and I hope he fades into obscurity.
[QUOTE=Doom64hunter;50266888]I think this video gained him a few thousand subscribers actually. The truth of the matter is that he never would've gotten this popular without the drama videos.[/QUOTE]He gained like 25000 to 30000 subscribers over a couple of days when he released this video.
[QUOTE=Erfly;50266985]I thought that was only the US.[/QUOTE] It is, It's very easy to sack a teacher if someone really wants it to happen.
