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.

”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
TIL this fuckface has an online university
It’s parked next to Trump University
That’s too bad.
Time to see if people I suspect of being on it were on it.
HaveIBeenPwned has the list.
My friend’s brother almost fell victim to this cult. If he’s anything to go by most members will be vulnerable idiots.
I talked my then 17yo nephew away from the whole Tate/Peterson/Rogan sphere a couple years ago. It’s really sad how few quality role models there are for young men these days, and these shills are happily filling the spaces.
Thank you
It’s good that people are able to get out of it, though. How’s he doing nowadays?
Last I heard he’s just starting to admit he needs psychiatric help.
Wonder how many were bots, like Ashley Madison, that exist to pump numbers and increase engagement
A giant hack. Wow.
I really, really hope they used a backdoor.
800,000 lusers*
This is a scammer’s goldmine.
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
We have a friend who looks a ton like him when he mean-mugs, but is nicer than all of us combined, which just makes his Tate face funnier.
You’re not impressed by that strong manly jawline?
My guy looks like a mudokon (insulting for them, I know…)
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.
Read the article, it’s so much better than the headline lets on. Trolled him, email addresses, full forum and chat content, etc.
800,000 people fell for that scam? Fuck me, that’s a lot of stupidity…
Remember Trump University? Imagine putting that on your resume.
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.

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?
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 closer to 100k, and it’s 50$/month so totals closer to 5M/month
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
Did they steal his accreditation?
