"Because this script is going to be very long and I've learned that it's probably best not to exhaust your audience to that extent" TRO must have forgotten about this when he decided to post a four-and-a-half-hour long video on Nikocado Avocado
The reason he was so popular was because he was the voice we needed: he didn’t give a shit what anyone thought of him so he would tackle any issue that needed tackling while being funny enough to keep u watching.
he was truly what you call "a neutral unbiased person" he called out bs, he never took sides, never played left wing or right wing, he told the truth :both are stupid. he took a stand against wrong stuff on the matter of reaction channels being bad, trump and hillary both being bad, he promoted the idea of voting and stopped the stupid idea of "my vote is waste" kinda thinking, he made videos that were hilarious but also are super usefull like how to not get hacked, how to find music etc loved grade and his pirate voice. hope that old bastard is doing well now :*)
30 minute videos are perfect for ly taste in this video. But those videos recently that is close to a full hour a video, is a little much. So i am glad this video is a little easier to digest
You know, I'm 31 minutes into the video, and it hasn't even felt like it. I'm currently ill from Influenza, so it's kind of shocking to me that I really haven't done anything during the last thirty minutes (other than occasional coughs, but it's been too rare, and I haven't really noticed it). Anyway, thank you "The Right Opinion," lots of love and respect towards you man. No hug tho, I'm quite infectious.
Found you a while back and I just realized your sub count. Your quality of editing, script, and overall execution resemble that of a channel 20x your size. Keep it up and I think you'll see your success skyrocket!
the 2016 drama was one of, if not, my favorite period in youtube's history. It's just like every day for 3 months, something new emerged, it was so exciting
@@tatagliacon I get it but I don't people can completely forget about someone like that, but yea same I don't think about him since I don't watch him anymore
Unrelated to the topic at hand, but I really love how much credit you give to your editors. Many people either tuck it away in the description or don’t even credit them at all, but you put it front and center in the video. I really respect that.
To me what i love about Grade the most is what he represents. Not in his person/character, but his style in videos. Quality never matter to him. Even when Arin from game grumps offer an mic, and he said no. He works with what he got, in a time where people is hungry for the highest quality. It brought me back to the classic days where the internet was nothing but that, but it had its own charm.
Man you really hit the nail on the head for GradeA’s popularity and rise. I don’t remember how I found him but I started to follow him early. Even followed him to his drama shit which I LOVED.
And fall. He was incredible, for a time. Then he started getting into politics and drama, ruined his channel. After he even went on a 1-2 year break and then came back with a lame video.
Whoever edited this, or TRO, if you chose to include the specific TH-camrs in the intro to early youtube montage, you have absolutely amazing taste in channels. Literally every second I would see an absolutely gold #1 banger in there.
I do have to say a big thank you for making this video c: For a long time, I've wondered who Grade A was and why he was involved in some drama (I've only really started to delve into the history of youtube and I'm not huge on going through social media) Keep up the good work! Absolutely love the videos!
Dude, how do you not have more subscribers?? Your editors are phenomenal, your scripts are done exceptionally well, the way you orginize your video- It's just perfect.
I absolutely loved Grade! I’m sad he fell victim to the drama because his videos were ones that made me laugh. I keep hoping he will return for good and go back to what he did best. I haven’t found a channel quite like his since
Absolutely. Grade's pathological lying became so blatantly obvious when he jumped on the Keemstar hate train. Half of the stuff he said was completely unfounded and the rest contradicted his own on-stream statements.
off topic, but I really miss Mumkey. I was hoping we could become friends or something. I had been working on a comic series and fanart for him. his channel was everything I love when it comes to entertainment. I haven't posted on TH-cam in years, I'm grown now and looking back, my dumbass videos were inspired by him. Mine sucked- but at least I was keeping myself entertained. Like, I THOUGHT I was cool and that was good enough for little me. Eventually, for the better in my opinion, I was able to move on to more animation and art specific activities that I'm much better at because I realized I didn't have the effort nor drive to make TH-cam videos or skits in such a way, BUT some people do. I know this probably doesn't make ANY sense but I don't know how to really explain how the process went. Kind of like, through a very long chain of events, Mumkey's videos were a crucial part to me finding my calling and if he sees this for some reason, I want to thank him.
TRO in 2019: stops a video at 36 minute to not exhaust the audience. TRO in 2020: here a 4 1/2 hours video about people you probably never heard of LETS GO ON A RIDE
Sam o nella is funnier to me, and is actually really interesting in a morbid way. I don’t think “wholesome” is a good way to describe him, he literally made a whole segment on beating a small child in from a story book.
I liked him, I remember watching him when I was a Sophomore in high school (I’m graduated almost a year now ) . It’s interesting to see he is still talked about.
Would love to see you do a video about the weird, brief, meteoric rise of "Triggered Tro" - went super viral and gained a ton of subs and views and then just.. disappeared. I was never a fan of his style of content but it was a weird rise then sudden disappearance. Great video, (untriggered) TRO, btw! Keep it up. :) Planning to become a patron upon next pay cycle!
I love these videos because you are talking like a historian would talk about a war but this stuff only happened a few years ago. It's amazing how quickly the internet moves, the culture adapts and changes; in only a few years the entire landscape can change. I also really like the rather meta way you approach and discuss the internet pointing out the cultural norms that we naturally have grown to accept and it gives a clear picture of how the internet is progressing and figuring itself out. It's also fascinating to watch this as someone who watched GradeA back in the day. I remember starting with his comedy videos that I liked and I think that I stuck with him through his drama section for the humor mostly without knowing or caring about the targets of the drama. As he got deeper in drama, I think I remember fading out on his channel until he stopped posting completely for a time after I think Leafy/Pyrocynical videos. It's a little weird to look back with such detail and meta-analysis at something that was a relatively small part of your life but was still a large event in a sub-culture you took part in.
I love Grade, the internet drama saga was a bit of a disgrace, not because lack of humour but because he showed how easily people could get to him. he also suffered some unfortunate mental health issues during that time and that compounded with his internet presence took a toll on the content and led him to move from the platform for quite a while. He's back and I hope we can get more comedic gold from him, he's hillarious, I specially love his video on the Kardashians.
i hate how everyone says "his drama saga was bad" but ppl fail to realise grade cared more about whats right rather than just printing money, thats the reason he called out bs from yt like demonitizing etc lol
@@aryanram02 He fell on the trap of internet drama, there's no walking away from that. He shouldn't have responded, just make his videos about it a one off and move on to the next thing. I understand your point but people on the internet love to harass you and it's your responsibility to know when to quit.
Sir, you can talk about a banana for 10 hours and I'd listen to every word. Your wording and delivery along with your amazing voice just makes your content compelling and brilliant to listen to
Hearing that you heard of the youtuber a dose of Buckley, this made me very happy and more excited to see a video on him, the angry Canadian, having a minefield of great videos, it would be interesting to say the least to see a video on from his tiny rise in a corner of TH-cam to his current hiatus.
@@thomasedison3700 Village people? Pillage people! No but seriously, whenever the right opinion uploads I just imagine ymca in minor to play as in "the critical gay is critically approaching"
"I do have a lot to say about him as well" A Dose of Buckley is my favourite TH-camr (though he doesn't consider himself to be one) of all time. If you have more to say on him, I would LOVE it if it could potentially be a video one day.
TRO feels old talking about twitter as a kid. Me, 31, Twitter came out after I graduated high school and was working full time to afford an apartment. YEA. YOU FEEL OLD. *cries in milennial*
TRO, you have reminded me - once again as I have already watched these videos - how much I miss Grade when he was on a roll. Before the drama. I could see that train wreck coming. I was thinking, Grade! Shut up man. Just shut the eff up, mate. Edit: And thanks for reminding me that it was five years ago. Damn I am old.
i remember discovering grade on reddit. i also remember discovering h3 on reddit. I don’t really remember why i stopped watching grade, but i remember there was a reason. 🤔
@@thisisawsome34253212 he never claimed to be a serious music critic. Literally in this video shows a tweet of him reminding people that he's just a comedian
@@thisisawsome34253212 I mean, that's not something I'd really worry about but I suppose it could be mentioned. I think someone else has already kind of answered this point but he really wasn't a music critic and that is okay. You say cinema sins uses the same defense but again, cinema sins is also not a serious critique show...
@@thisisawsome34253212 Buckley does not claim to have understanding of music. He's just someone who works in radio who listens to it all day, which probably gives him an opinion one way or another. He then takes his opinion and tries to find comedy in it. Hence why he calls himself a Comedian. It is not the same argument as Cinema Sins at all. They clearly consider themselves critics AND comedians, Buckley does not claim himself to be a music critic at all. He just uses music to derive comedy.
I wasn't around during this era but I stumbled onto grade's channel a while back and I really like the guy, glad he's uploading again.. Can't wait for part 2 of this series.
I really enjoy listening to your videos, I feel like it's helping me listen better for school but also because I like your commentary. Thank you for your time!
Oh Facebook, I remember in 2006 when two of my school friends took over my laptop in the library to make me a Facebook page so they could add themselves. :p
Me: sees Todd in the Shadows and Nerdwriter in The Right Opinion Me: automatic thumbs up my dude Jokes aside, this is a really interesting little look into this ye olde TH-camr.
I've been watching your videos the past few weeks and I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your content. You do such a good job explaining these situations in depth and you do it in a very polite manner. So much of youtube can be described as toxic and I find your content the exact opposite of that. Thank you and I hope you can continue to grow your channel. Love from North Dakota.

i hate how everyone says "his drama saga was bad" but ppl fail to realise grade cared more about whats right rather than just printing money, thats the reason he called out bs from yt like demonitizing etc lol
@@aryanram02 He fell on the trap of internet drama, there's no walking away from that. He shouldn't have responded, just make his videos about it a one off and move on to the next thing. I understand your point but people on the internet love to harass you and it's your responsibility to know when to quit.
I'm assuming the next vid will be titled "The Fall of An Internet Hero" or something like that?
"Fallen Titans".
You weren’t far off, though by the time he did fall he wasn’t so heroic anymore.
You predicted the future
pretty close
The prophet
Sir, you can talk about a banana for 10 hours and I'd listen to every word. Your wording and delivery along with your amazing voice just makes your content compelling and brilliant to listen to
So, in coming back to this video, it turns out, Grade uploaded a video 5 hours ago, and this video is over a year old. What a coincidence!
Hearing that you heard of the youtuber a dose of Buckley, this made me very happy and more excited to see a video on him, the angry Canadian, having a minefield of great videos, it would be interesting to say the least to see a video on from his tiny rise in a corner of TH-cam to his current hiatus.
Wow! This video was produced very well! Great job! I found your channel through this video and subscribed. Keep it up!
I FUCKIN LOVE ADOSEOFBUCKLEY!!!!! havent missed a vid since 2010 i wish he'd come back
I'm sorry but YMCA in minor is playing in my head.
*The Village People threateningly bogey towards you*
@@thomasedison3700 Village people? Pillage people! No but seriously, whenever the right opinion uploads I just imagine ymca in minor to play as in "the critical gay is critically approaching"
rip
This was such an amazingly well made video. Anticipating part two.
Honestly he is a troll whose statements and false logic started getting thrown up back in his face with the rise of the commentary genre.
Nah he’s brilliant, just took the wrong direction to become famous and it took over him.
Not even close, mate.
I still love his video on getting offended in 2018. I still watch it on occasion for a ton of hilarious, relatable jokes.
"I do have a lot to say about him as well"
A Dose of Buckley is my favourite TH-camr (though he doesn't consider himself to be one) of all time. If you have more to say on him, I would LOVE it if it could potentially be a video one day.
As far as commentary channels went, I've went from Grade to H3 to this channel, and yours is the only one I remain on.
This aged like fine milk
The Right Opinion is my teacher during Quarantine. I'm happy
Ironic
TRO feels old talking about twitter as a kid. Me, 31, Twitter came out after I graduated high school and was working full time to afford an apartment.
YEA. YOU FEEL OLD. *cries in milennial*
Damn, I would love to see more videos like this, maybe talk about Leafy?
@JCH Thirded
Not much sense beating that dead horse..
i haven't heard about him in years , his channel was the first rant channel i had ever seen.
yes! I had seen one or two older coverages of this. This will be fun
TRO, you have reminded me - once again as I have already watched these videos - how much I miss Grade when he was on a roll. Before the drama. I could see that train wreck coming. I was thinking, Grade! Shut up man. Just shut the eff up, mate.
Edit: And thanks for reminding me that it was five years ago. Damn I am old.
Had an absolute shite day. Take me away TRO
Conrad Kujur I agree. TRO uploads are the best. Thank you for your kind wish
perfect timing for TH-cam to recommend this video
That time Reactor trolled GradeA was priceless.
I remember hearing my dad watching his videos when I was young. That's how I found out who he was.
Internet Hero?
… Yeah right.
I lost my fuckin' shit on that hair skit. Fuck, I'm behind the times. This guy is a legend. LMAO
i remember discovering grade on reddit. i also remember discovering h3 on reddit.
I don’t really remember why i stopped watching grade, but i remember there was a reason. 🤔
2015:
"where do you see yourself in five years' time?"
"hopefully not in this shithole"
2020:
*grade is, in fact, not in this shithole anymore*
Except he is now
Seriously, i think a video on Buckley could be really good and if he's somone you want to talk about then I'd defoenlty recommend it
You mean how he had no understanding of music past discussing lyrics?
@@thisisawsome34253212 he never claimed to be a serious music critic. Literally in this video shows a tweet of him reminding people that he's just a comedian
@@awfulcreature3224 Cinema Sins uses the same argument, but at least they have some understanding of film-making.
@@thisisawsome34253212 I mean, that's not something I'd really worry about but I suppose it could be mentioned. I think someone else has already kind of answered this point but he really wasn't a music critic and that is okay. You say cinema sins uses the same defense but again, cinema sins is also not a serious critique show...
@@thisisawsome34253212 Buckley does not claim to have understanding of music. He's just someone who works in radio who listens to it all day, which probably gives him an opinion one way or another. He then takes his opinion and tries to find comedy in it. Hence why he calls himself a Comedian. It is not the same argument as Cinema Sins at all. They clearly consider themselves critics AND comedians, Buckley does not claim himself to be a music critic at all. He just uses music to derive comedy.
I wasn't around during this era but I stumbled onto grade's channel a while back and I really like the guy, glad he's uploading again.. Can't wait for part 2 of this series.
"DESTORYING LEAFY" That was intentional, right?
Edit: 3:03

I love biodegradables editing
Man:animates a tiny man with bug chin and a guy with small chin and big head and animates things about life
Everyone:internet hero
I can appreciate the use of 'Mechanical Man' towards the end there.
Give your editor a smooch.
You're welcome!
@@BiodegradableYTP nice job, editing seems difficult.
I really enjoy listening to your videos, I feel like it's helping me listen better for school but also because I like your commentary. Thank you for your time!
Oh Facebook, I remember in 2006 when two of my school friends took over my laptop in the library to make me a Facebook page so they could add themselves. :p
Tro’s videos are like watching a tv show or movie based off a book
Me: sees Todd in the Shadows and Nerdwriter in The Right Opinion
Me: automatic thumbs up my dude
Jokes aside, this is a really interesting little look into this ye olde TH-camr.
I've been watching your videos the past few weeks and I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your content. You do such a good job explaining these situations in depth and you do it in a very polite manner. So much of youtube can be described as toxic and I find your content the exact opposite of that. Thank you and I hope you can continue to grow your channel. Love from North Dakota.
yo, I've noticed Biodegradable in some of TRO's vids now - I love their editing style, Its neat
Naww, thank you very much, mate.
GAUA’s presence online changes with the seasons.
This pops in my recommendation
After grade uploads new video DREAMS
Lol 😂 me too
@@mixedmark3414 yep
I'm a little late to this video but it is fascinating. Thank you
