Found this article pretty funny, this journalism must be pretty dense or selectively ignorant on YouTube's rabbit hole algorithm.
They play shocked when after an hour of going through random videos they get one about Andrew Tate.
Also I'm pretty sure you select what videos to watch on YT shorts, so the fact that they're getting more and more as the experiment continues- it just shows that they had a bias of selecting the ones they wanted to prove a point with.
And I also find it pretty funny that it isn't just Andrew Tate and his brother who are banned, it's him entirely even if it's a proxy person uploading clips which have him in it. Absolutely mental
Yet, I wonder why they'll never do this with a 13 year old girl. Maybe girls transing themselves from YT propaganda isn't good news yet?
I'm not even on board with the whole Andrew Tate thing he's a net negative. The thing is, what content is there even for 13 year old boys? Maybe some anime, but many are not at all interested in that, think it's gay, or whatever. Beyond that, you've got Andrew Tate or woke indoctrination. That's it. My teen cousin goes in and out through interest in Tate's stuff, "omg his Bugatti is cool type stuff" etc., because there really is nothing else.
Most teen boys in my area don't care about "content" at all. They like local sports, video games, and spending time outside. I think they've noticed that the media hates them so they just stopped caring about it. I know I did, and that was over a decade ago.
Yeah I'd say that's consistent with my experience. I spend a ton of time gaming with this specific cousin, but that's really only when either of us are not doing something else. I really can't think of any media he's actually in to at all, watching crap on YouTube is entertainment of last resort.
I don't watch his stuff outside of the occasional random clip I'll come across, but I don't agree with this.
I've seen numerous workout videos posted by young men who reference Tate as their motivation to start lifting. The comment section is always flooded with more young men who say the same thing.
Tate strikes me as a douche bag who lies about his wealth, but young men/teens are clearly desperate for someone to tell them it's good to be masculine.
What's shocking to me is how fast the "right" echo's the left when Tate comes up.
sexist! Muhsogyny! Trafficks wahmen! Pronz! Bald! Beta!
Instead of seeing that he is inspiring scores of young men not to be betas losers.
He is. He's an insecure loser who overcompensates like short man syndrome on steroids. This is not the face of masculinity.
He also says a lot of dumb shit that make him (and by extension his fans) look bad. He also talks about women as if they were all the whores he spends all his time around doing his cam girl pimp shit.
He's also trashy & low class. This isn't a person who should be a role model for anyone. He basically just acts like any other trashy black dude would.
Unfortunately young boys see him as a role model because they're lead to believe that happiness comes from wealth and being surrounded by beautiful women.
And it isn't just media which is indoctrinating them into thinking that, games and music feed it also.
Realistically, what male role models are there now? Most white men have to bend the knee in some ways or they'll get cancelled, the ones which are regularly pushed in the limelight are weak sub-men who dress in clothes and wear makeup. Claiming feminine things are also masculine.
It's sad that this quality of human is the best boys have now.
And which role models did boys have 20-30 years ago? It's honestly not that different.
I don't recall thinking any famous man was a good role model for me. The men that were I knew from private stuff (family, friends, sport clubs, ...).
I think the difference is that there's now active sabotage of young boys & men. As soon as someone doesn't follow the party line they get ostracized.
Some could argue that actors and some TV personalities back then could be classed as role models.
But back then it was before the push of feminised men, so you still had your family role models which were backed up by those. Now if all people consume is media, these soft men will be pushed as being more norm and the family role models as the minority.
But I agree, it's usually family where the best role models come from.
There's zero good ones if they don't have it with a father and other family members they aren't going to get it anywhere else. That's why we continue to see more and more of them turn into freaks.
Some of the better Manosphere guys try to fill this gap. It's not even close to being a replacement but it can give men the tools they need to avoid getting burned in relationshits.
The guy has the jawline and baldness of a beta male. It really speaks to how few male role models young men actually have nowadays when this walking napoleon complex is one of the "better" ones.
I agree 100%. I think he's just an over the top bombastic type personality and just being so outrageous and a spectacle made him popular. But just seeing how hard THEY are going after him makes me wonder how much of the shit he's spewing contains actual truths they don't want us to hear.
They are. And it isn't up for debate.
Right, I forgot idiots still believe in good women™ who will love you for who you are and not what you give them.
Tate is a mixed bag. He's a con artist but he's also red pilled more boys and men than anyone else, possibly combined. There are plenty of Manosphere guys that I'd rather young boys watch than Tate, but I'd rather they watch Tate than the feminist indoctrination that poses as entertainment these days. If even a small percentage of Tate fans dig deeper and find better creators in the TRP/MGTOW space he might end up being a net positive. I think he was originally propped up by the feminists as a strawman caricature of a red piller they could knock down. The plan backfired because even a con artist who says the outrageous things Tate does is more credible than the feminist narrative.
It won't be long before a nine year-old dancing in drag is the featured YouTube video for pride month.
