Comment on Apple removes app created by Andrew Tate
ultratiem@lemmy.ca 1 year agoThere exists a vast population of struggling young men who are easy marks when it comes to romance and sex. I mean 4chan exists. As does OF and to a lesser extent, Twitch. He’s just as much a predator of those men as he is young women.
Growing up online is seriously going to mess up the next generation.

Because they are desperate. Same tactic employed by this late night self help infomercials. They pray on people that have tried everything and still have no made progress. The “but what if it works” mindset is super exploitable.
Tate and his ilk just do that. Exploit the easily exploitable. Men. Women. Anyone really. It’s just wildly absurd to think Tate (or people like him) only exploit one segment of the population.

I think it’s also a perceived value thing. You think something has more value when you pay for it, or at least you pretend to think so to save face.
