Apologies if it's already been mentioned, but a Hannah Claire Brimelow video that the algo fed to me mentioned that Jeremy was yet again setting up a new channel for YT simulcast livestreams.
Also, I wasn't aware that:
- HCB had a child around the time that she left Timcast (which she gives Hambly credit for being supportive)
- her true passion is True Crime rather than news (particularly the Idaho 4 murders) so she's thinking of refocuing her solo YT channel content in that orientation

Old YT simulcast streaming channel

New YT simulcast channel created a week ago and streamed on once.
It doesn't bode well for Jeremy and the new channel that I couldn't get it to pop up in any of my multiple YT searches while using partial keywords.
He addressed this in his livestream I linked above. He says he thinks the channel is shadowbanned because it's not growing. He suspects this is because he used the old Midwestly channel and turned it into his livestream channel and that Youtube sees that none of his old viewers watch the content so it's not promoted in the algorithm. While there may be something to that theory he also stopped streaming to it for a month as the channel was growing to stream exclusively to Rumble and I think that is what really killed the channel.
On a related note I don't think Quartering's livestream is going well in general. He's not gaining any traction outside of Rumble. On Rumble he's consistently getting lower views than the shows that bookend his and Rumble seems to be finding any excuse to cut out from his stream early. He said exclusive streams were part of his contract and from his comments it seems like Rumble wanted him to cut his stream down to an hour, run from 2PM EST - 3PM EST then raid Viva Frei at noon and go into premium only mode if he wanted to go longer. He was grousing about that when the order came down and has outright refused to do that, instead he stays live until after 3:45 every day then raids Viva Frei when he feels like ending the stream so Viva gets very little of the benefit since his stream is almost off the front page by this point. Everyone else on the lineup raids the next person as soon as they go live then switches over to premium only mode if they want to continue streaming. So Quartering is basically just ignoring the lineup and Rumble orders when it benefits him which can't be going over well.
Today Rumble cut his livestream off the front page a half hour early to go live to Benny Johnson desk streaming a mundane White House presser, which is extra funny since Quartering was raging over Benny just yesterday, then they still cut over to Viva Frei at 3. Quartering's stream views are also botted to shit every day. I've noticed it before and it happened at least twice today. Views suddenly jumped from 8k to over 24k while he wasn't even on the front page then 5 minutes later dipped back under 10k. Even with these botted view numbers Quartering can't keep up with the other streams on views. Hard to believe given his history that he's not behind the view botting. I took screenshots of the live viewer numbers and timestamps.
There is no way Rumble doesn't notice all this selfish behavior, refusing to make premium content, refusing to raid other streamers on schedule, falling view numbers, obvious view bot raids, trashing more popular Rumble streamers, etc. The only question is what they will do about it and if the recent trend of cutting into Quartering's show is just a coincidence or a sign that they are over his fat ass.
Remember how I said he credits his success on Rumble and getting added to the livestream lineup to Steven Crowder pushing that behind the scenes? Well Crowder stopped streaming to Rumble entirely two weeks ago.
Crowder was an absolutely huge pull for Rumble when he joined in March of 2023 then Jeremy came over in June of that year. When he asked them for a small favor in adding Quartering to the lineup it was a no-brainer to do it and keep him happy. If him no longer streaming hints at some internal conflict or contract issues at Rumble that could be very bad news for Jeremy, as his entire promotion on that platform may have been seen as a favor to cash-cow Crowder. Without that dynamic Quartering may be on the chopping block. Interesting that Jeremy's contract got renegotiated and he started pushing back against Rumble management in the same timeframe where Crowder stopped streaming.
End of the day Quartering's streams are just not fit for a Rumble audience and I don't see him lasting on the front page much longer at this rate.
He's also flailing around trying to find a direction on his Youtube channel and clickbaiting even harder than usual and seems to be addicted to speed. So hopefully we will get some epic meltdowns soon, we just need something to light the fuse.
