Tate was a legitimate wealthy figure with a very small term following. That happened organically. He was already sniffing his own farts and talking like he is king shit then too.
Him becoming a household name is absolutely a psyop they were using to create a new boogeyman to scare people into pulling away the only people stupid enough to fall for him (12-24 year old boys with no prospects, the exact type of simp Tate built an empire exploiting with camgirls).
I don't think it really backfired, because he still is pretty irrelevant with only the smallest of non-ironic followers. They just keep talking about him because he makes good clickbait and that makes him seem way bigger than he is.
