Engagement bait goes crazy

Where are the parents

I don't know about you, but whenever I find myself falling into a YouTube hole, it's not just the videos that I am paying attention to. Whether the video is stupid, smart, or even some excruciatingly boring tutorial, I will go out of my way to check out all of the comments.

Daaaaaaamn.

Andrew Tate is getting de-platformed, and it has already been meme'd to death. For the uninitiated, Andrew Tate is an influencer who has gained an insane amount of traction online over the past couple of months. Tate's videos have been heavily criticized as misogynistic, as he frequently describes his strategies to control and pick up women in shocking and violent ways. His content is essentially a continuation of MGTOW and pickup artist content that was more popular about five years ago. His p…

If you've never heard of Andrew Tate, congratulations! You're either over the age of 16 or not on TikTok , either of which are equally admirable accomplishments. If you are both, even better! Andrew Tate has blown up in a Jordan Peterson-esque manner, catapulting his online presence seemingly overnight. For those who are no longer dependent on our parents, the question remains: who the hell is this guy? Andrew Tate is a former professional kickboxer and Big Brother UK contestant. He was removed…

The perfect man for the job.
