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.

Austin Wade Petersen (born February 19, 1981) is an American political commentator, online publication publisher, political activist, and businessman. Petersen, who identifies politically as a constitutional libertarian, is running for the 2016 presidential nomination for the Libertarian Party.
Early life
Petersen was born on February 19, 1981 in Independence, Missouri, and raised on a horse farm in Peculiar, Missouri. His mother died of ovarian cancer when he was a teenager, a victim of pharmacist Robert Courtney, who was convicted of pharmaceutical fraud in 2002. Petersen graduated from high school in 1999 at Raymore-Peculiar, and majored in Musical theatre at Missouri State University, from which he graduated in 2003.
From 2004-2008, Petersen appeared in various films, plays, and musicals around the country. He also worked at the FAO Schwarz toy store in Manhattan, working his way up from the floor to manager, to the corporate office. He was the spokesmodel for a clothing line for a short time, 191 Unlimited, and appeared in Time magazine as a model for Microsoft's 2006 infrastructure sales promotions.
Politics
Petersen held a job at the Libertarian National Committee in 2008, where he started as the Volunteer Coordinator, and was later promoted to Director of Outreach. He subsequently held a position at the libertarian think tank, the Atlas Economic Research Foundation. He was instrumental in pioneering a successful social media campaign that led to the launch of Judge Andrew Napolitano's show FreedomWatch on the Fox Business Network in 2010. That show was cancelled in 2012.
Petersen took a position as Director of Production with FreedomWorks, before leaving to start his own ventures in 2013. Petersen has appeared multiple times on RT to discuss issues ranging from alternative media, climate change, and the right to vote. He currently owns and operates Stonegait LLC, a media and consulting firm, and is publisher of the online libertarian news magazine, The Libertarian Republic.
Petersen is a frequent contributor on Fox News and Fox Business. He lives and works from Kansas City, Missouri.
Petersen is opposed to some fundamental Libertarian positions, such as the NAP (non-aggression principle), one of two foundation principles of libertarianism.
Petersen has many nicknames attributed to him by his fans, such as the "Freedom Ninja," and "Leif Bieberson," after conspiracy theory radio host Alex Jones suggested he looked like Leif Garrett and Justin Bieber.
He supported the presidential campaign of Republican Party candidate Rand Paul, including a collaboration with PurplePAC in August 2015. This collaboration took place one month prior to the news that Petersen would be seeking the Libertarian Party nomination in September 2015. Petersen also supported Gary Johnson in 2012 as a Republican presidential candidate, and again in the same election cycle when Johnson ran for president as a Libertarian.

Nu Fetish is a genre of amateur erotica.
At first glance Nu Fetish appears to be homemade, surreal, and on the whole done by and for the people who appear in the (usually short) videos, possibly as some form of self-exploration. It often speaks to fetishes that seem quite outside the general realm of bondage, leather, whips, or more hardcore-yet-somehow-conventional interests. What sets Nu Fetish apart is that it casts back to the broader, more psychoanalytic sense of fetish as sexual arousal brought about by an object or situation, without any particular assumptions about what the object or situation might be. Here it pokes at the subconscious in unpredictable ways.
