GradeAUnderA

GradeAUnderA (commonly shortened to <nowiki/>'Grade') is a British comedian most well known for his satirical rants and commentary on a diverse variety of issues on YouTube. He keeps his real identity and face anonymous and uses drawn characters dubbed Grade and Under to show expressions and actions.
YouTube career
Grade's YouTube career began in March 23, 2013 when he uploaded the video 'Nine Things I Hate About The Barbershop'. Though the video "Girly Drinks vs Manly Drinks" had been uploaded on April 8, 2013 the video went generally unnoticed until it was submitted by Reddit user /u/bonaboy to /r/videos, where it gained nearly 3000 upvotes. This overnight following led to Grade to continue creating YouTube videos and slowly grow in popularity. From there, he began uploading videos in a similar style where he would talk about things that angered him, colloquially known as 'rant videos'. He slowly gained fame in YouTube, gaining 30,000 subscribers. In November 2015, he had about 50,000 subscribers.
On October 10 2015, GradeAUnderA published a video about a Youtube key function, which received over 2 million views and was written about by Metro, DailyDot and Liberty Times.
On January 16, 2016 he uploaded a video titled 'Nicole Arbour EXPOSED As A Liar - With Proof (Vs Matthew Santoro)' that went viral and gained him large attention. He has further accused youtuber Tyrone Magnus of plagiarization.
His amount of subscribers had risen to 500,000 by January 2016, and to his first million by February as one of the fastest growing YouTubers. This growth came about amongst controversy between him and "reactors" on youtube. He has so far reached 1,014,420 subscribers (as of February 10, 2016).
According to Vice he was nominated for best youtuber of 2015 by Reddit.
Channel format
Grade's content is formatted in a way that splits each point about the topic into subsections. While he does present his real opinions, it's often done humorously and hyperbolically. He uses two crudely drawn characters, dubbed Grade and Under to show expressions and actions. He makes his videos using MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker.
Grade has a second channel, GradeBUnderB, which is a backup channel. Amazingly, the channel has over 53,000 subscribers even though no video has been uploaded to the channel.
