      According to the article, that so called university is teaching about healthy living, exercise, and how to make and handle money. On a surface level, that sounds pretty alright.

      Up until now when I researched the guy, I had no idea who he was and what ideals he represents. So I could see how unsuspecting people sign up for that stuff without any ill intent.

        Yes, that’s what the ad said, but the actual class was basically teaching how to trick a woman into bed. The movie sucked, by the way, even if the protagonist figures it out and leaves the class (happyish ending, I suppose). The original story is much worse and much more objectifying.

      Interesting that people find this surprising when it’s not surprising to me at all. This is the kind of people young men go to when they get chased away from more mainstream platforms.

        What do you mean by “chased away”?

        I think it’s a platform that they’re attracted to because they’re missing something in their lives.

        Fascinating that users find it interesting that people find it surprising when its actually is: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65959097

    Cool. Now use the data to get them all blacklisted on dating sites, that should reestablish some semblance of balance.

      Trump had one as well. Similar knuckle-dragging target audience between the two, I’d wager.

      “Hustler’s University”

      I’m sure the intention is a play on Hustle culture and it’s supposed to teach you that grindset mindset, but it wasn’t too long ago that “Hustler” meant “con artist” and, well, it’s his university

      Surely that’s not what paragon of humanity and alleged sex trafficker Andrew Taint meant when naming it. He’s got the ego, but I’m not sure he’s clever enough to flaunt it

    All this is very intriguing to say the least but I’m not sure I’m following the information correctly- have these users been doxxed or is this just a temporary blow to Tate’s pockets?
