Omg 800,00 people (presumably mostly young men) signed up for that bullshit? Have we failed so many that they will seek help with the top douchebag himself?
Yes, we have failed far more than that.
Who is this Andrew Tate guy? By his name, I can only assume he is some kind of potato
He’s one of those “Alpha Male” influencer who’s extremely misogynistic
If they legalized prostitution there would be a lotttttt less incels in society, just a thought
That is correct.
No notes.
”Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”
step 1: convince people to pay you 50$ for access to your deranged ramblings.
there is no step 2
Read the article, it’s so much better than the headline lets on. Trolled him, email addresses, full forum and chat content, etc.
Data brokers will now have a new set of identitys for Insecure White Male with No Financial Litteracy.
Don’t forget easily manipulated
Thats the important part ;)
It’s hard not to feel bad for aimless young men who get tricked by this guy.
You mean misogynists? I tend to not feel bad for misogynists.
Whoo, which would be more embarrassing? Being exposed by this leak or the Ashley Madison one. I would love to see a list of email addresses that show up in both datasets.
HaveIBeenPwned has the list. Could one-by-one check?
mozilla moni- just kidding for non Mozilla super fans.
It’s interesting, the first time I saw a picture of Tate I only saw cringe, and that has not changed.
I’m sure there are people who look like Tate but are not complete assholes.
Oh absolutely, but I haven’t met any one dressing like him who I have liked
My guy looks like a mudokon (insulting for them, I know…)
You’re not impressed by that strong manly jawline?
I take as a positive point that I had no idea who this Andrew taint guy was before the he was arrested or whatever the fuck.
That’s too bad.
Time to see if people I suspect of being on it were on it.
HaveIBeenPwned has the list.
A giant hack. Wow.
800,000 people fell for that scam? Fuck me, that’s a lot of stupidity…
At 50$ a pop it’s 40 000 000$ Grifters gonna grift ! Sometimes I hate that I have morals stopping me from exploiting those morons.
It’s worse than you think; it’s $50/month!
Now part of the problem is we don’t know the average membership length, and it’s further complicated by the fact that the Tate brothers ran the ‘school’ like a pyramid scheme where enrolling another member earned you a kick-back (which is why so many random channels popped up a few years back sharing clips).
So pulling random numbers out of my arse, if the average membership period was ~6 months and they had ~30% operating expenses (servers, bandwidth, kickbacks etc.) they could have netted ~$168m from this scheme.
I too, share your self-loathing in my morals preventing me from exploiting these absolute morons.
It’s like eight whole megastupid
8 magastupids of emails
i think registration and actually sending any money will be two separate steps, but it is still lot of dumb people.
Maybe most of these are bots? And maybe paid by the owner to generate traffic?
People is stupid
Yup, was one of the first bits I thought of too…
I still paraphrase his “your stuff is shit, my shit is stuff” to this day… 😅
We really need someone to fill the massive shoes he left behind - an individual able to call out all the egregious bullshit.
Bill Burr comes close to George’s savagery 😅 ( just my opinion )
Did they steal his accreditation?
“Our article is boring. How do we get more people to read it?”
“Put a good looking able bodied bearded white guy on the cover.”
Wut?
The article is about Andrew Tate. Guess whose face is on the cover? Andrew Tate’s face.
800.000 people?
Talking bullshit seems to pay very good
<edit> yes not everyone was paying, but still: </edit>
If accurate, the site at minimum would generate upwards of $5,650,000 every month.
