TheQuartering

Off the bat Quartering only exists to tell people what they want to hear. If you aren't into the right wing talking points you are going to hate this channel. However even if that is something you are interested in you are better off looking elsewhere as this is the lowest effort slop on Youtube.

Every video is essentially the same. Quartering comes in with several minutes of meaningless monolog. Basically just filling time. Cut to a commercial if you are lucky enough to not be watching one of his videos that is basically a clickbait commercial for his coffee, which he does several times a week. In that case click out immediately as there will not be any actual content in this video. Otherwise you are in for him slowly reading an article or two and clicking through Twitter reading random banter on the subject and that's about it.

He does add some brief commentary but it's basically just filler agreeing with the article or comments he reads. Sometimes his entire point is negated by things written in the article. I don't think he even reads them before starting he just fires up the camera and one takes it which is how he puts out 5-6 videos a day plus a 2 hour livestream. Sometimes the stance he takes in his videos is completely the opposite of what he was arguing the day before. He clearly temperature checks his audience on Twitter then changes his views to fit what they want to hear to keep them coming back.

Videos are unedited except to add commercials and always 12-14 minutes in length to meet some optimized time frame where you get the most money for Youtube ads even if he doesn't have enough content to justify the entire time he just fills it with reading other people's comments. He often misreads the text in the article, fumbles around looking for something on Google, and very frequently sends text messages during videos. He never edits any of this out.

Most annoying of all though he treats his viewers like his personal piggy bank. Every other week he has some manufactured crisis where he needs more money for various reasons. He often makes promises of additional content if you sub to him on new platforms then never delivers and just repeats the process with a different new platform several months later. His coffee company is a constant topic on his show. He's always begging people to buy his overpriced coffee for some new reason and will clickbait people with a video promising one topic then it's just a thinly veiled excuse for him begging for money for 13 minutes. Mind you he has been on Youtube for over a decade at this point and has well over a billion views so he's extremely rich and often flaunts that fact on his Twitter while e-begging.

Lazy, boring, the lowest effort possible. If you are looking for the same thing but better you can find that any number of places that won't blatantly take advantage of their viewers kindness.

If you are looking for the pop culture equivalent of a late night phone sex ad on cable look no further then the quartering. Wait. I'm sorry. That's an insult to phone sex as they at least use a script. The quartering started as a pop culture news an rumor/ opinion work. But has since fallen into unscripted, pointless and rambling narration of personal grievances, opinions, politics and conjecture. As pleasing the to ear as Explosive diarrhea in a public rest room while someone tries to play Beethoven with their fingernails on a chalkboard. The quartering is mercifully short winded. As he works on a content mill schedule for ad revenue relying solely on poorly fleshed out controversy to drive clicks. Filter out the stammering nonsense though and you find he simply has nothing to say. Often poorly repeating the work of better youtubers or reading from reddit.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this hate filled, political, nonsensical and pointless work of pop culture copy and paste. If you want actual film and comic news you will only find it here if others said it first days ago.

If your a white middle aged misogynist incel who likes his media completely free from diversity and will cry and cry if any is introduced anywhere, especially in reboots of franchises cashing in on nostalgia-berry projects coming soon to a streaming service on a smart TV near you. Marvel releases 12 movies with male superhero's = no problem, how about a female one? Absolutely out of the question in any shape or form!! How can a lady be a protagonist in a blockbuster movie?! If I had pearls I'd be clutching them so hard right now!!

Oh, Black Panther is black then is he, and always has been! Well so what Marvel your still being called WOKE! For casting a black actor!! If you like this kind of thing, the Quartering is your man!! Right up your street!

Pop culture podcasts and political pundits are truly a dime a dozen, however most of these shows are at least somewhat worth that dime. TheQuartering is not. Even going in blind, with no bias or prior knowledge, this show is just not worth watching.

The videos are unbelievably formulaic, and without any real soul or creativity put into them, presumably because there are around three new episodes a day. Non-existent fact checking and editing mistakes are common, and the topics of discussion are so repetitive in nature that almost every single video simply blends together with every other video.

The host himself, Jeremy Hambly, is just not a likable personality. I don't say this to be insulting, this man is just genuinely not an enjoyable person to listen to, and his on-camera personality isn't particularly endearing either.

All of this is made all the more worse by Hambly's lethargic, sluggish delivery, a transparent attempt at dragging out the length of what would otherwise be incredibly short videos so that every episode can fit in just a few more ads.

Where ever your politics lie, and what ever interest you have in geek culture, there are so many better choices than TheQuartering. In a world full of gourmet food, TheQuartering is like a half-thawed TV-dinner.

Current: To anyone who think that I came off as rather "red-pill" in any way from the older review.... I'm very sorry. After much realization over the years (especially when looking through Twitter), I do think that he is basically one of the dozens of these obnoxiously repetitive, boring, and overtly political "nerd" channels that are everywhere on YT.

I know that he is a self-proclaimed troll, but man is he super predictable (and honestly rather pathetic). There are better nerd-related channels that are worth checking out instead.

Original review (previous 4/10): While he does make some pretty decent points from time to time and makes some videos that can be quite entertaining and enticing, the other videos he makes tend to be rather repetitive and boring to sit through after a while. Not downright awful, just rather mediocre fare that is to be expected from these types of channels.

While his charisma isn't great, he does have a decent enough presence to make his content watchable (which is more than I can say about MundaneMatt and Jeremy Griggs). Though not my cup of tea, I can see why people likes his content.
