    This is the first I’ve seen about him on Reddit or here, but he’s all over TikTok, YouTube, talked about among high schoolers and anywhere incels gather.

      Not contradicting, but sharing my perspective. I teach 14 - 18 year olds in the USA, 80% of which are male. Andrew Tate peaked in their discussions about the time of his 1st arrest. (Was that last year?) I rarely hear about him anymore and really none this past school year.

      If the current conversations I’m constantly battling are any indication, then the content algorithms are mainly serving up Jewish hate. Though surprisingly those comments are not tied to current events in Israel and Gaza.

      I live on YouTube and they’ve never recommended one of his videos to me in years and years. My uncles don’t speak of him either.
