Don't think we need this much detail. He's currently sticking to a regular upload schedule.


After that September 2017 video, Grade disappeared for a year, before resurfacing and uploading 4 videos from New Year's Day 2019 to March 2019. He disappeared afterwards, and once again resurfaced a year later, when he uploaded four videos in May and June of 2020. He then disappeared ''again'', only to once again resurface in March 2021, uploading 8 videos from then until the second day of 2022. He then disappeared for a ''fourth time'' since 2017, and after two years of radio silence, finally returned in February 2024 to announce that he had prepared 40 videos for the coming year. After a couple of weeks of silence, he announced on February 28, 2024 that a new video would be coming later the same week. It was uploaded on February 29, 2024, with two more videos released in March and even more promised for the future.

* GoldDigger: Exaggerated with Timmy's girlfriend in "Why Diamonds Are a Scam". Grade discusses how she expects Timmy to buy her a diamond ring to propose, despite it costing ''over 10 grand'', and Timmy has to choose between getting the ring to propose and not being poor. Timmy, willing to be broke to get his girlfriend the diamond ring, buys it for her, bankrupting himself in the process. She then ''dumps him because he's now poor'' (and '''''takes the diamond ring with her''''').

He is a Website/YouTube content creator from the [[UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom United Kingdom]] that makes comedic rant videos that can be summarized as being based around whatever he finds interesting at the moment. His videos can generally be described as slideshows of UsefulNotes/MSPaint-drawn graphics with his voiceover, combined with some music playing to mark transitions and clips from other videos.

* StatusQuoIsGod: Despite the massive growth his channel has seen since it started out, Grade continues to use the same low-end minimalist setup that he has used since the start; Windows Movie Maker to edit the videos, Microsoft Paint to compose and edit images, and his old Samsung Galaxy S2 to record his voice. This is intentional: in [[https://youtu.be/kEtRWdoMI8o his video]] where he talks about how he doesn't enjoy making Website/YouTube videos anymore, he admits that he doesn't want his videos to change in style, to the point where he even rejected an offer from a fellow Website/{{YouTube}}r to send him a free microphone.

* {{Minimalism}}: Also see StatusQuoIsGod below. In contrast to many other creators, Grade's videos are almost exclusively done using Windows Movie Maker and Microsoft Paint. While this minimalist setup may have been rooted in budget/time restrictions originally, later on, it became a conscious choice; Grade has explained that he's rejected a fellow creator's offer to send him a free microphone, specifically because he didn't want his style of video to change. In his mind, the minimalist nature of the videos is a part of them.

* ButNotTooBlack: In his "Racism Test" video, Grade himself has stated that he is "a man of color" and briefly drew himself with dark skin and an afro. Then goes on to say that it's only a "lil' bit of color" before lightening his skin tone and sizing down the afro.[[note]]Grade is actually of Indian descent.[[/note]]
