💰 Grifter Jeremy Hambly / The Quartering / MTGHeadquarters / Unsleeved Media / Midwestly - Buttblasted manchild upset he was banned from a childrens' card game, Grifter, supporter of the cancel culture

Sam Hyde should step in with some fatherly guidance about finances since he loves The Quartering, he's his guy.

I love the quartering.png
 
I would watch his low energy reading of the news occasionally if the title sounded decent and not too clickbaity but the constant swings between flexing how much shit he has and his "GUIS THE ALGORITHM IS REALLY SCREWING ME BUY MY COFFEE OR I'LL BE HOMELESS AND ALL MY EMPLOYEES WILL DIE" really got tiresome where I haven't watched a video of his in months. Not since his covering the Austin Metcalf stuff. (He really milked the fuck out of that dead kid)

In short: He made some shitty business decisions and now expects his audience to pick up the slack for him. Dude definitely isn't hurting for money that badly. If he was really up shit creek he could just part ways with some assets to stay afloat. That's the thing—You really fucking hope these lazy grifters are suffering from their actions, but most of the time they're doing pretty damn well for themselves.
 
After penguin0 showed how much he made off YouTube in his time, I think quartering isn't poor. Or at least he shouldn't be. Knowing that he's an extreme consumer I could see him being poor, but he's a sponsored grifter who gets millions of views a month. So he shouldn't be. I wouldn't be surprised if he's just squeezing his paypigs for money.
It's like with Boogie. He would've made a killing in early Youtube, Patreon and sponsors. Yet, allegedly, according to him, he was broke in 2022. Granted, lolcows are lolcows for a reason. They make retarded financial decisions, but I sincerely doubt that they're broke to the point of needing to beg for money.

If you're that destitute, you sell your belongings instead of rattling the tin, right? This is something Boogie never did and I would say the same about Quarterpounder.
 
Quarterpounder has a long series of unsuccessful businesses and channels that somehow seem to propel him to ever-greater heights, and my personal theory is that he's constantly offering up everything he owns as collateral in order to secure larger and larger business-loans that he spends on toys, which he then offers as collateral to secure access to bigger loans. Get a business loan, buy a car you won't drive, leverage the car you won't drive for a bigger loan. All the while some of the money gets put into viewbots, the actual business expense, which can be used to fudge his projected income. Use that cooked income value to get a bigger loan, and the chain goes on and on and on. So long as he makes enough to keep making minimum payments, he's fine in this model: you just bide your time until you have a windfall, which is always just around the corner.

And so my running thought is that the '22 interest hike has made those minimums far less sustainable, and thus he's started to try to liquidate some things to paper it over. He has a lot of toys, and so long as the house of cards doesn't topple over, is the bank really gonna know if he's sold off something he promised as collateral? Either this charisma vacuum has clued into some eldritch revenue stream that mortal minds cannot comprehend, or we'll hear about him in a couple years getting repo'd or charged with fraud.
 
My parent is a genuine Quartering fan. I don't understand it but they say it's because Hambly aggregates various cultural topics from sources they otherwise wouldn't know about. They don't pay for subscriptions or any of the Quartering grifts—and they don't watch any of the livestreams—but if you're wondering who the person clicking on his videos are, it's boomers who want to lightly keep up with the newest "why superhero movies bad" slop because they're incapable of just accepting apathy toward dead cultural institutions and brands.
 
they don't want to give him the clout
you're right that is cucking the content

Who gives a fuck if he gets a little clout? If they do a good job, they won't need to worry about that anyway. If anything he could walk away embarrassed.

Also. what fucking clout? lmao. I mean the Casino is big for this part of the internet. But they aren't some billion subscriber channel. The quartering is more famous than them if anything. Even if he has fallen way off.

A few other people have mentioned it, but he has a decade-long history of immediately rolling over when he's invited onto things and just focuses on trying to come off as not mad and in on the joke to try and win viewership. Nothing productive has ever come from having on IBS stuff in the past and it definitely won't here, there's a reason Andy and PPP aren't bothering with it. Andy's seen the sandbagging first hand on both Warski Live and the Kumite back in the day.

I believe Boogie was blowing absurd money on Escorts and dropping like 100k on some random bitcoin that immediately rugpulled and dumpstered to zero.
Mind you, he was never THAT well off, just a decent haul, but like all of the tards, they live outside their means and overextend till they end up like the Jhomas, where Simple Ian is returning 70 dollar heated socks because they can't afford food.

You're right but he was aggressively chasing the Killstream audience in 2018 and even at his absolute peak Ralph had less than 20K YouTube subs. I imagine it's not just about the numbers for him, it's about being in a certain clique. Who fucking knows.
 
I'm constantly amazed at those 2017 culture war relic grifters who managed to fail a slot machine that is incapable of not winning every spin if they weren't such lazy retards.
Let's take some of his colleagues:
  • Ben Shapiro has now a entirely self contained media empire of podcasts, film studios, if the gaza war hadn't happened, he would have the largest slice of the conservative sphere because no jew fatigue, like it or hate him, he didn't sit on his ass posting "SHAPIRO ENDS THIS RANDOM DUDE'S CAREER!!111" videos daily like mr fat coffee here.
  • Matt walsh, decided to make documentaries instead of constant 5 minute debates, studied, improved his tactics, has a similar viewpoint to Nick fuentes without all the catfemboy faggotry baggage, so he got invited by joe rogan to become normalized.
  • Sargon, arguably the largest anti-sjw guy of the era of quartering's peak, has crashed and burned a lot, but has learned from his mistakes and now hosts a good podcast on british politics, has stopped uploading videos on the same style he did as in 2017.
  • Charlie kirk, went from filming pink haired trannies in 20$ debate tent in universities with his iphone to help create the largest conservative college group in decades, not as eloquent or as smart as Buckley Jr, but his work ended in martyndom and the highest civilian award of his country.
Now what hambly has done for the past decade asides from screaming about star wars or marvel or whatever tranny in pop culture media or videogame or how some girl's tits aren't big enough or got reduced or whatever the fuck he puts in all caps nowdays?

Nothing.
 
My thoughts on the feature:
It says he's Scroedinger's beggar, which is very accurate, but he's Scroedinger's everything. He just changes his narrative or rewrites his entire backstory any time he thinks it suits him. Pretty much everything he says I could find a clip of him saying the opposite. For example I just mentioned a clip from QuarterGrifter in my last post how he said he was one of the popular kids in school and how I very much doubt that.
Link here: https://uploads.kiwifarms.st/data/video/8071/8071308-c297de1bcfade95b23eb74f943cc1e23.mp4

Well it took me like 30 seconds to find an old video of him saying he was NOT popular in high school. This starts off with him saying that "people who are bullied become bullies" but insists that he was never bullied because he's always been too much of a tough guy to put up with that shit. Go ahead and draw your own conclusions.

Then he goes on to rant about how the people on Twitter arguing with him at the time were the same bullies who used to reject people who played Magic and other nerd hobbies in school back in the day before it was cool to be a nerd, hmmm.

Thing I'd I don't think he's on credit. His youtube channel is fully monetized and he has a full back catalog to watch. Even in worst case, he's making passive income off the old shit. In reality he is still at escape velocity. Each video doesn't make many views. But he makes a lot, and each gets a consistent amount of views. He is making millions. I don't believe a word he says.
His videos have no shelf life. Back a couple years ago he was obsessed with making evergreen content exactly because most of his videos get 99% of their views in the first 24-48 hours then unless some news story pops up that has people finding it in the search bar they go dead. Beyond a month most of them effectively get zero views. For example I looked on a video tracking site and his most popular video ever was about Bree Larson, it has over 7 million views and gets under 10 views a day average. So that's the ceiling since it's at the top of his popular tab and what people land on when they want to see what the deal is with Jeremy and Bree Larson plus she's been in the news recently. By the time you get to his 4th most popular video ever it's from last year about the Trump attempted assassin's social media and we at 3 views a day average and that's actually a topic people still talk about occasionally. If I go a little farther to his popular videos with over a million views made in the past 12 months I see both of them getting an average of 3 views a week.

Jeremy pumps out 80-120 videos a month but I don't think there's even a handful that get more than 10 views a day average once they are more than a few months old. I was curious so I clicked through a dozen of his videos from last month and only a single one averaged double digit views a day and is trending down rapidly so that will probably not be the case in a few weeks. So his content is not like other people's content. It has a finite shelf life and once people stop caring about it the ride stops. If he stops posting tomorrow his channel would be completely dead in a month if not sooner. More realistically though if his channel continues to decline he will feel the squeeze much harder than the average Youtuber simply because not a single video he makes stays relevant longer than a few weeks.

To highlight this point his social blade stats from this week just dropped and it's his second worst week in the past year on his main channel (the severe dip then spike 1/3 way in to the graph was a social blade outage that took views from one week and added them to the next, his actual worst week this year was in August with 1.6 million views)
1761532382915.png
Even if you add in the 150k views from his Jeremy Hambly side channel it's still his second worst week this year by a considerable margin, as every other week was above 2 million views.

No. His views stay at a constant level. There will be peaks when something happens, but there is a baseline he is always going to be at. That's what we've seen over the past year really. A few spikes, but really just a straight line as the same people watch his videos 24/7 like a fucking drone
I kind of thought the same thing but he's alienated so much of his audience over the past year with changing the entire content of his channel and shamelessly begging and constantly scamming them that he's turned a lot off a lot of the consistent viewers and seems to be having trouble replacing them.

I really thought history would repeat itself and the Charlie Kirk situation would completely revive his channel as has happened many times in the past where suddenly some drama comes along that pulls normies into the sphere of his grift and his channel soars to new heights for the next 6 months until the next thing comes along. Instead what happened it his views spiked for 3 weeks and now he's back to being lower than he's ever been.

In honor of this feature I decided to make this graph of his monthly Youtube views over the life of his channel. I added two orange lines for reference. The top orange line was the peak of his Charlie Kirk grifting. That's where his channel is these days with that kind of hot topic he can punch out 6 videos a day on and get hundreds of thousands of views. The bottom orange line is where he was at in August pre-Kirk. He's currently on pace to be back at that bottom line for October unless something changes between now and Friday. As you can see at the peak of his Kirk grifting he was barely scratching what's basically been the floor of his channel over the past 5 years. It's hard to tell with the scale but the difference between the two lines is roughly 5 million views. So in a busy news month these days his Youtube views are still only what was a bad month in the past and his bad months he's down another 30% from there. This is why he's been freaking the fuck out since this Summer. He still makes a bunch of money by all objective standards but he clearly didn't think his income would dip this hard this soon and continues to overspend because he's addicted to the lifestyle he bought into when he was making probably 5x as much. His views should be slightly higher but he's gone back to deleting poorly performing videos if they are on pace to flop. I suspect this is some scheme to appear more relevant to the people who sponsor his videos so they don't see a bunch of videos with under 20k views on his 1.8 million follower feed but either way he deleted at least 5 videos just last week alone.
1761535450609.png

In the past he could just manipulate the pay pigs into funding his lifestyle when views dipped but that is now drying up as they become more aware of the grifting and scamy membership bullshit. For the past few days the top upvoted comment on the livestream has been the same jilted paypig talking about how Jeremy lies about being in his paid Discord and other disgruntled fans agreeing.

Was he actually nearing wings of redemption weight? I figure he might of been in the high 200's at most but 400 is plump pimp territory
By his telling he was down 40 pounds since starting his "weight loss journey" when he talked about it last month, but actually it was closer to 20 because he then said he gained 20 pounds before he actually started losing any weight. Back then he was talking about how he couldn't wait to break 340. He's been gaining and losing the same 40 pounds for the past 5 years but this is probably the least fat he's been since at least COVID so we'll see what happens.

you're right that is cucking the content

Who gives a fuck if he gets a little clout? If they do a good job, they won't need to worry about that anyway. If anything he could walk away embarrassed.

Also. what fucking clout? lmao. I mean the Casino is big for this part of the internet. But they aren't some billion subscriber channel. The quartering is more famous than them if anything. Even if he has fallen way off.
Unless Jeremy rolls into the Casino and completely melts them he has absolutely nothing to gain. The odds of that are slim to none given his history. The only internet slap fight I think he's ever won was against Jack Murphy and that only happened because the internet found videos of Murphy sticking massive dildos up his ass and entire blogs he wrote about how big of a literal cuck he was. You could say he won vs. Review Tech Rich but I think it's more fair to say Rich just lost to himself and Jeremy happened to be present. In every actual live confrontation Jeremy froze up like a dear in headlights and walked back every point he tried to make or showed up a drunken mess and made a complete ass out of himself.

Casino is way less relevant than Quartering overall but he's melting down because they are getting massive paypig donos and engagement on livestreams making fun of him while he's been reduced to making humiliation dono goals to dance for pocket change and getting no takers on his "serious political news" stream where he pays his cohosts $20,000 a month.
1761540980272.png

There is no doubt in my mind that Casino livestreams have a larger audience than Quartering's live stream and his 40,000 concurrent "Rumble views" are complete bullshit.

To add to that the other day (on the stream QuarterGrifter clipped I think) Jeremy forgot to hit the button to actually go live. As a result his stream was on the front page but it was actually just a 5 second loop of the default waiting screen. Guess what happened?

1761541424589.png

Let me zoom that in for everyone.
1761541467182.png
That's right according to Rumble Quartering had over 12,000 people live watching his channel which had been on a wait screen for 10 minutes. Meanwhile Quartering will claim that every other platform except Rumble fakes views and regularly claims Casinos Kick stream has fake view counts and that they only actually have something like 50 actual viewers.

I got sick of the daily 5-8 uploads. I thought he was interesting to listen to in the early days.. but its almost a cycle of insanity for me with commentary channels.

Find interesting commentary, the commentator turns into a lolcow or I get sick of the 5-10 video uploads a day. I cannot stand the sound of his voice, his approach, all of it falls on deaf ears to me. I stopped watching him three years ago, and its like nothing changed except the fact he's became more of an asshole to others. I was a bit baffled when he called Hannah a bitch, and emphasized it, not that I have any love for her.

Exactly. If they are actually planning to not do this. I think it's a big lost opportunity on their part. For some good entertainment.

Also probably a nice turn out, and getting paid themselves from their audience who probably also would all love to see whatever happens. The only losing situation I see here. Is not doing it. What are they going to do instead? Oh right, THE SAME THING WE DID YESTERDAY, AGAIN TODAY!

Hopefully they are just bullshitting, and will eventually say yes.

I'd like to point out that if they did agree to have him on the most likely scenario is that he makes up an excuse to not show, which is still a massive win for them. Just if they do agree to have him on definitely have a plan B because he's backed out of every "debate" he agreed to since that time he pissed in his basement drain and officially started his lolcow journey.
 
  • Agree
Reactions: prollyanotherlurker
I'm always baffled by guys like this, for years I've wondered "why do people fuckin watch Hambly?" and I can never come up with an answer, he lacks any Charisma, he has butthole eyes, he delivers all his commentary in a bored deadpan way, he doesn't even smile or make jokes.

yet he raked in a decent cut for quite a while, doing FUCK all but regurgitate stories or news poorly.
He managed to exploit the Youtube algorithm at the exact right time to cater to people who enjoy consooming 'anti-woke' content that are also too busy/lazy to just seek out news themselves so they let some guy read the news for them. Like imagine the KF Aritcles and News section except a fat slob with a terrible beard is reading every article for you so you can listen in the background while you're at work or whatever.

Hambly also basically invented the whole replacing no-no words with safe words shtick on Youtube so that his videos can stay advertiser safe and that's how he got popular because the algorithm pushed him for people that wanted to consoome anti-woke content.

A few years later and we now live in an era where anybody can create a Youtube video of superior quality by using AI with a fraction of the effort while simultaneously not letting the entire internet know they're a fat slob with a terrible beard, and also we don't have to worry about using safe words to stay advertiser friendly on Youtube which means Hambly is fucked.

Instead of being smart and just retiring and fucking off, he's trying his best to copy Tim Pool's formula by spending shitloads of money to try and larp as a true and honest news network, but he can't manage it because he's autistic and drunk 24/7 and he only hires women in the hopes that he can fuck them.
