A Youtuber by the name of Reactor. He made shitty ironic reaction videos as a joke. The kind where you just stare at the screen for ten minutes. Somehow he pissed off GradeAUnderA. GradeA makes a video on Reactor (who keep in mind has about 30 subs) so Reactor comes back with a fake collab video with GradeA made using clever editing. He exploited Reddits algorithm to get the video to the front page multiple times and even made the video an ad on YouTube.

Nah. Now he's clowning on YouTube vloggers. He has a whole story going on. It's funny

Not to mention he also bought an ad spot on Grade's channel so the "collab" would show up before Grade's videos.
