I first became aware of Mr Gryder when he worked with Flighchops and then Josh Flowers (Aviation101). Who used who for gaining exposure I can’t say, but I’m pretty sure it was not those successful Youtubers. Alas, Gryder went on to insert himself into videos of most successful YouTube personalities (Mat Guthmiller as well, who Gryder has since turned on in a spectacular way). Gryder initially looked like a ‘good’ guy, with good ideas. But lately he has become a complete and utter arrogant bore. Just compare his Youtube ‘Probable Cause’ tone to for instance Juan Brown’s Blancolirio Channel. Mr Brown is always respectful, doesn’t make reprehensible leaps of judgement and accusations without facts, doesn’t have a ‘conspiracy theory’ behind every video, and generally stays positive, respectful and delightful to watch. In contrast I have become more and more concerned, doubtful and suspicious of Gryder. He narcissistically calls out others’ supposed and conjectured mistakes, ill intent and character flaws that he just makes up with no proof, while conveniently completely omit that he, Gryder, has a significant history with the law, including assault. Unfortunately Gryder’s gruff but holier than thou arrogance will likely appeal to many. I wonder how many (for instance Guthmiller, and maybe even Flowers, Steve (Flightchops)), really regret getting into bed with this guy.
