/r/GradeAunderA - Reddit's new Saltmine

[Pepsi-Cola]

This place was pointed out in the Keemstar thread and I thought it deserving of a thread itself. I don't really know who this guy is or what he did, but apparently GradeA is a YouTuber and said something is his videos that people didn't like, so there's now a schism in his community that divides his fans into two categories: butthurt manchildren who think he's a sellout, and whiteknights who defend literally everything he says and argue with the butthurt manchildren for hours on end. It's basically become a forum for salty YouTube aficionados to flamewar themselves a new asshole.

GradeA himself has joined the salty fray aswell, lashing at reddit users who criticize him, going as far as calling one an "inbred idiot". also, apparently there was a ton of drama between GradeA and the redditor mods who run the subreddit over thread/comment deletions. tldr; he called one of the mods a whore and chimped at him on Skype I guess. This seems like a very spur of the moment thing so I made this thread rather quickly, so please excuse the lack of information for the time being.

Spoiler: salty screencaps

That subreddit has gone to circus levels of entertainment drama atm especially due to the recent drama going on with GradeA, but however I've read that GradeA tried to get the mods to delete the entire subreddit since there are some posts and threads are reported to be deleted there, so be sure to archive them.

Grade got famous too quickly at a rate he wasn't prepared for and he kept biting off more than he can chew. It's unfortunate because I see what he wants to do with the youtube community helping it. However he got too big for his breeches and has become convinced he is always right.

I hope he can adapt and fix himself, but as long as he sticks to Keemstar's side I'm not going to watch his channel.

Yeah I don't really hate the guy. I think he had done some good work to wake YouTube up with the Copyright issue and I think some of his videos are pretty funny but he needs to stop acting like a complete hypocrite and hop off of Keem's micro-dick.

This doesn't even slightly surprise me. GradeA makes most of his fame out of YouTube drama, whether it's himself or anybody else.

Isn't GradeAUnderA a mudslime? I'd say the blasted goy deserves all the autism he can muster.

 

[NG 070]

This doesn't even slightly surprise me. GradeA makes most of his fame out of YouTube drama, whether it's himself or anybody else.

Which is somewhat ironic, since in his last video he insists he doesn't want to keep making videos about YouTube drama. And yet, he continues to do so, albeit every so often.

He's learned from Keemstar all to well. It's pretty much Keemstar's rhetoric exactly.
"I'm not here to cause the drama, I'm here to report the FACTS and help parties make amends!"

... So what were they because they're gone now.

New Grade video. People are praising it even though it's his worst non-drama video yet. Really dissapointed in how quickly he has gone downhill.

Seriously all he has to do is just friggen apologize and this all goes away. I don't know why he can't do that.


Also he's not a white guy like I suspected but wasn't positive.

To be fair imo if Grade makes an apology video it will most likely escalate to more drama. If he were to make an apology in a tweet I don't think much will notice it. And plus Grade wants to stay away from the subreddit due to the drama.

Speaking of the subreddit, the video caused users in the subreddit to dig up some dox on him and managed to find his full name now. The general video thread has most users praising him but there are a few threads who think the video is terrible.

Jeez. Moral highgrounds aren't a thing anymore are they? Sure he's a jerk but there are far worse people that haven't been doxxed before.

Exactly. Also, GradeA himself admitted to being a cunt. So at least he's self-aware.

Grade got famous off Drama so it's all people expect from him now. It's pretty rich of him to criticise other,more famous youtubers for escalating drama by discussing it when he does exactly the same thing. His non drama videos are bland as shit anyway, so as soon if he stops making drama videos no one will watch his channel. People love drama, they don't want to see "Things I hate about interviews/tescos/your mum" for the 100th time. Grade's just another drama leech, like it or not, he's just unwilling to accept it.
