The Grustle 

my favourite part was the black screen for a minute. really nice dunkey reference

Everyone is talking about the intracies of the black screen but no one is talking about the masterful audio mixing towards the end. Having the audio unsynced from the video acts as an exquisite foreshadowing for the video to come. Truly genius

When atrioc said next but then the next thing didn’t come, I really felt that

This man truly knows the in depth of marketing where he makes us wait on a black screen for a minute to build up the suspense for the rest of the video

hey guys for some reason my editor removed the 2 minute of black screen and audio de-sync, which were of course a powerful symbolic message about capitalism that added a huge amount of depth to my already masterwork RU-vid videos. rest assured i will be taking appropriate action and adding 10+ minutes of black screen and scrambled/reversed audio to all future videos.

Another Brandon “ “ Ewing classic. Also it’s okay editors we still love you

The dark screen being used to stretch out video watch time is really a spectacular display of the grustle mindset.

yet another certified banger from Brandon “Black Screen” “Orange Soda” “Atrioc” Ewing

another great video with a nice break in the middle of darkness from about the 4-5 min. Such a 5 head idea to let us rest our minds for a little to understand the complexity of the video. Thank you Gruslizardor.

At first, I was confused when my screen turned black. Then, I became upset. I wanted to move as quickly as possible to the next “funny moment”. I’m the midst of my anger, I realized that I truly needed this break in the video, to contemplate and move away from the distractions this society so often has. Thank you Big A, you’ve changed my life time and time again, and I can’t wait to miss another AoE4 stream.

The 2 minute long black screen was really avant-garde, really gave me time to reflect on this masterpiece of a vid big A

Zinjo really pulled the “I bet he doesn’t even watch the vid” gambit

When Atrioc used the black screen to delay the visuals whilst having the audio continue ahead for the rest of the video, it really challenged me to think about myself. It taught me that if I choose to be patient and listen, I'll eventually see what I've been hearing for so long. Really inspiring message. Thanks again for the lesson Lil A 🤙🏻💪🏻🔥

The void for a whole minute is my favorite part of this BIG A GLIZZY FINGERS classic

Such a bold choice with the full minute uninterrupted silence with the black screen. Truly and avant-garde decision leaving the viewer to reflect on oneself. Such choices would leave the founding philosophers of western thought in awe of the depth of the thought provoking nature of this video. Truly another piece of art on par with the greats such as Picasso, and Babinski. Over all I rate this video a 6.76/10.

The black screen really made me reflect on how marketing influences my mind and how I think. Thank you mr. glizzard for this moment of clarity.

Damn, when he said "next" and then it went dark.....really spoke to me. I could see myself reflected in Big A's work. He is an artist of a generation.

Another Brandon “ 4:04 - 5:10 “ Ewing classic, the grustle pays off

Loved the minute of silence for our forgotten comrades being exploited in the mines of r/atrioc So brave

I love the minute of black screen after Mr. A Tree Oc says “next”

How did Big A know what I really needed was to stare at myself for a full minute? This man is a genius.

Banger video, loved the full minute of silence and black screen Big A

I really loved the blackscreen only to be thought saved, directly into the G. H. Shyamalan twist of the audio being completely desynced. Truly opened my eyes to the possibility.

The best part about this video is the 1-minute black screen. Gotta get that ad revenue Big A, I respect the grind.

I really appreciate Atrioc giving us a break from all of the great content his viewers make

this is a certified Brandon "Blackscreen" "De-synced audio" "Doesn't pay Zinjo" classic

Atrioc should add a Join/Membership button. *Don't* pay the editors though.

I literally have yoinked every marketing Monday for the past 3 months straight and have been discussing them with my dad and friends making them think I’m so much smarter than I am. Please never end marketing Monday I need it to remain intelligent

The black screen represents so much in this video. While reviewing the content his viewers have made, the black screen reminds us of nothingness; the vast playground in which we, ourselves, can take it upon ourselves to create something entertaining. This lesson extends to my career as well and my finances. Need money? Make it! My printer is ready

4:39 I was saying the exact same thing, brother, you know how to keep it REAL!!!

I don't blame the editors for the mistake, it was likely Atriocs harsh work conditions that had them in such a rush 😩 I'm so sorry Quack and other, I know it must be hard. If only he paid you 😭

4:03 Best content Atrioc has produced in awhile, mans is really on his grustle! Keep it up brandino!

Ive always appreciated big a's use of the minute long black screen, it adds a certain something that helps his channel stand out from the rest. Keep up the great content 👏

I'm sure the editing mistakes in this video were not editing mistakes, they were actually marketing choices

The cut to black sprinkled in the perfect amount of dramatic flavor, further emphasizing Big A’s comedic delivery. He never fails to make me chortle- Never change Brandon, Never change

Thanks Zinjo for this editing masterpiece

Brandon “heh” Ewing back at it again

I imagine atrioc in a marketing meeting with the big wigs and he’s explaining “frames win games” and after every 2 words he goes “hah”.

For me the momentary black screen in the middle of the video depicts the unending cycle of our chace for a sliver of seratonin rush of ''content''. The timing of it is immaculate, right after the Redditor has said that Big A will ''just do his signature giggle and move on'' it comes on abruptly and shockingly but still manages to be subtle. Now at that moment us ''viewers'' wonder in amazement expecting millions of possible ways that Mr. Big A could suprise us with at the end of the screen that has been devoid of colour. We ponder in utter confusion for the first few seconds, nothing changes but the audio continues. Atrioc proceeds with the other post having planned this little stratagem that'll shock us to our core beforehand. The ''viewer'' is now contemplating if this black screen is a part of the video or if their apparatus of the information highway (a la the Web) is not operating conventionally. They are puzzled when they realize it is not an issue on their end but just a mere glimpse of Glizzard's game changing innovation on content creatorship. Truly a masterpiece...

I love the one minute black screen into totally unsynced audio where you can’t see what is going on. Very unique choice.

It moved me so much when he said "let's move on to the next thing" and then I could see my reflection for a minute. Thank you atrioc. This has changed my life.

Having the audio desynced really is a genius move. While it plays the audio, it builds up a tension and grabs your attention to make sure that Atrioc has a higher viewer retention rate. This is why Atrioc is a marketing genius and we are but humble learners.

Thats an Atrioc “One minute of black screen and permanent desync” “Glizzy Hands” Ewing classic.

Big A, I am having a tough time breaking up a relationship with my 2 year best friend. We talked everyday with no exception for more than a year and a half and now we don't talk. I wanted to thank you because that whole minute of only a black screen and dead silence gave me enough time to move on. Now I am a full sigma male and I'm just lacking the gatorade (if you know what I mean, eyooooooo). Another masterpiece from our Brandon "Atrioc" "Fuck the nicknames I'm too lazy to write them down" "Ewing" Ewing.

I love the way you take the viewers expectations (good content), and challenge it by giving them a black screen coupled with complete silence. It gave me time to think and reflect about the first 4 minutes of the video and made realize how grateful I am for the content we DID get. Towards the end of the 2 minutes I even cried a bit.. powerful... 🥲

I love how after he made me watch a black screen for a minute the audio was unsynced, so awesome

Glad to see the part of the stream that I accidentally fell asleep during was left in

I really appreciate the sigma mindset to not fix or take down the video quickly. It really shows these videos are not for us but for atrioc himself.

So happy to see Brandon "Heh" "Atrioc" Ewing on that grustle once again

loved the no adverts ad break. really standing out from the crowd mr trioc

I love how atrioc KNOWS were all just yoinking his marketing points XD

atrioc is the only youtuber that could have a black screen during the middle of his video for a minute and get praised by the comments

Thank you for the black screen Glizzly King it gave me time to reflect on my self.

Thanks atrioc for the black screen I needed that minute to look myself in the face and self reflect.

The crazy thing is the video is 12:10 long but while audio cuts out, the video keeps playing sonehow

zinjo ain't getting a pay raise

This video is begging for a re-upload. I’m watching the vid 1 minute after the audio is played.

Quack finally had enough. This is how he goes on strike.

It’s all a scheme. The black screen is a subtle reference to his side project, the “green screen”. He’s trying to market to us

This is my favorite video. Thanks unsynced audio man.

I was watching this to escape the hell-hole that is my life. As the screen turned black I was left with nothing but my own reflection in my phone screen. In this moment I truly saw myself and where I was in life. I knew I needed to change. Told my manager I quit, divorced my wife, and began applying to all marketing positions in my state. All I can say is thank you, Gloozinator.

Zinjo went crazy editing this one, good job king

4:04 - 5:10 is probably the most sophisticated section of any video I have ever watched. Having it cut directly to black is a nice reference to Black Mirror and gives a nice, supple reminder of the detriments technology has given to our world. God bless us all.

The screen going black is actually so us viewers can see what true sigma’s look like, by looking into our reflection

My favorite part was the desynced audio. Very professional

the dark screen is really weird because if you hover over the timestamp bar thing at the bottom you can see that the video is complete its just not showing for some reason

This is next level content. The audio mixing, crisp. The black screen, sigma. Big A has evolved into Huge A

I feel like this video popped off so much because so many people were commenting things about the audio and black screen

Marketing genius gives us a black screen for a minute to build suspense. And then after the black screen, have all audio and video be a minute out of sync as well, so you can imagine the video before you can see it. Promoting viewer engagement. Truly a genius play from the glizz miser.

The darkness part was a nice touch

Everyone’s talking about the black screen but no one is acknowledging the desynced audio immediately after

no one realized it's not actually editing mistake or anything but something on RU-vid's end probably. the video shows that its 13 minutes long but ends at 12

Love the desynced audio video and blackscreen for a minute

I am so glad that the doing blow song didn't get copyright striked for its sheer quality.

The black screen part was a nice touch, which gave me enough time to let out my laughter. What a nice man 😃👍

People are only mentioning the blank screen wait till they notice the misaligned audio afterwards

I only have one critique for Zinjo, that darkscreen wasn't long enough

Real stigmas watch this in two tabs, one for the audio the other for the video, thus fixing the desync problems

the ominous black screen 4 minutes in was a very avant garde move by atrioc, love seeing youtubers trying new things

Love the editing on that one, very avant garde

I like how after the black screen all the audio is a minute ahead so the video is basically unwatchable, classic atrioc

the prolonged black screen fading into desynced audio really pulled this video together Big A

7:20 I litterally yoink his take every marketing Monday

I have a friend who watches and every time one of us yoinks a bit or drops a WHALE we look at each other

Grind and hustle all mashed up into one video, Yes Atrioc!

the black screen really ties it all together

Ah yes. I really appreciate the moment of silence straight in the middle of the video. Well done Atrioc team

Fun fact: watching 1 year later, RU-vid Premium now has a bug where the audio will continue but the screen will remain black . It happened to me about a minute into the video, but from the comments i assumed it was just the editing and tried to skip the black screen.

epic Big A donda reference there with the black screen

the grustle mindset coming in strong on this video, not watching it back before you upload, therefore missing the black screen and desynced video and audio, just so you can start working on the next vid. a true king, and glizzard

The black screen audio desync combo was truly masterful.

“Next” *2 minutes of black screen* Iconic Big A. Iconic.

Loved the black screen for a minute as a subtle nod to Ludwig's stream getting banned, funny stuff as always!

Man big a really added that 2 minute blackscreen for the money. He really has changed ever since he hit 200k

the extra minute after the video “ends” is just masterful Big A, keep it up bud.

editor cut off the glizzard from certifying a hood classic

Man, my monitor just got back from the repair shop and here I thought it broke again. MY HEART!

This is a signature Brandon “ewing” “glizzy-hands” “black screen for a minute” “the ghost” Atrioc classic

Everyone talking about the black screen but the audio is also minutes out of sync after

The black screen truly embodies the lengths Atrioc would go to to avoid giving any of the Redditors any exposure.
