This video announces a significant shift for the Jeremy Siers After Hours channel, now rebranded as 'Modern Legion.'

The 'Modern Legion' channel will now focus on firearms content, including reviews, builds, accessory reviews, comparisons, shooting drills, and range days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jeremy Siers rebrand his YouTube channel to 'Modern Legion'?

The channel was rebranded to 'Modern Legion' after the previous channel, 'Jeremy Siers After Hours,' was demonetized by YouTube. This was due to YouTube's strict policies on nicotine and alcohol content, which led to the removal of all old videos and a shift in focus.

What kind of content will be featured on the new 'Modern Legion' YouTube channel?

The 'Modern Legion' channel will focus on firearms content, including detailed gun reviews, firearm builds, accessory reviews, comparisons between different gear, shooting drills, and range days. The creator aims to provide informative and entertaining content for firearm enthusiasts.

Where are the live streams and cigar/whiskey content moving to?

The live streams, previously part of the 'Leaf and Barrel' segment focusing on cigars and whiskey, are moving to Rumble. This decision was made because YouTube's policies have become too restrictive for such content, leading to demonetization and content removal.

How does YouTube's policy on firearms content compare to other regulated goods?

While YouTube has strict and often vague policies for content like nicotine and alcohol, the rules for firearms content, though still restrictive, are perceived as more clearly defined. This makes it easier for creators to understand and avoid policy violations.

What is the creator's strategy for content distribution across platforms?

The creator plans to dual-upload content to both YouTube (on the 'Modern Legion' channel) and Rumble. This strategy provides a backup platform in case YouTube's content moderation policies lead to further issues or content removal on their main platform.
