An online course founded by far-right influencer Andrew Tate was breached by hackers, revealing the email addresses of roughly 325,000 users.
The self-described online university, known as The Real World, offers users “advanced training and mentoring” for around $50 per month. Formerly known as Hustler’s University, the platform focuses on topics such as health and fitness, financial investment, and e-commerce businesses.
“Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”
On Thursday, the hackers made their actions known by flooding the course’s primary chatroom with emojis they uploaded while Tate was streaming an episode of his show “Emergency Meeting” on Rumble.
The emojis included a transgender flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate draped in a rainbow flag, another where his buttocks are enlarged, and the cat character used in the “boykisser” meme.
Hi mom I just enrolled in the university of a guy who traffics sex slaves and thinks all women should be one
aww, one sec, have to find my tiny violin…
I sometimes work for a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. He’s genuinely kind, but not at all academic. It is entirely the fault of low-effort internet bullshit like this. It’s actually very upsetting to see somebody poisoned by social media in real-time.
Ha thats pretty funny, last i heard his dopey academy looked like it was using revolts backend code. Which would be a violation of the gpl V3 license aswell.
A University a.k.a. “Buy this ebook to make money online!” and the contents are “Just resell this Ebook lol”.
He had an online university? Was it CHUD-U?
Damnit
Where does data like this end up?
I’m asking to avoid it of course
Oh shit, there’s a database of the easily influenced with expendable income?
Sadly many people pony up for these scams out of desperation despite being unable to afford them.
Time to become a scammer and financially ruin the kind of dumb men who would fall for this?
That would be over half of the male population in the U.S.
It would be morally indefensible not to!
I don’t know.
I think alienation is what drove droves of young men to this clown, so perhaps we shouldn’t try and alienate them more by scamming them and try and understand what the appeal of Tate was/is and work to fix that.
I think i read something or maybe listened to a podcast, where they theorized that Tate got his audience around the time when Jordan Peterson left the “guardian of young men” role. I think it kinda stands to reason that young men don’t really have decent men as mentors or role models these days.
The Daily Dot was provided with approximately 794,000 usernames for what are believed to be the site’s current and former members, as well as the contents of the platform’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers. […] The Real World claims it currently has over 113,000 active users. If accurate, the site at minimum would generate upwards of $5,650,000 every month.
Jesus, why is this bullshit that large?
Money laundering.
Idiots falling for authoritarian charisma is one of the oldest things on this planet.
They said capitalism breeds innovation. They just didn’t specify what kind of innovation.
It’s always bend you over and take it kind though
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
That many people, actually signed up, and gave him money.
That’s a lot of fucking Darwin awards.
Wonder what percentage of them are barely voter-age teens who voted for Trump. These idiots are gifting their money to these grifters, and then turn around to complain that they don’t have any money because >insert minority<.
Darwin awards are just for dying, though?
*removing yourself from the gene pool
Death is not required.
Exactly my thought… Tate’s U a scam, duh obviously… But god damn… that many suckers.
You’ve witnessed the US election recently, yes? I’m not exactly surprised.
This fucking guy has an online university? Really?
He has a website where you can pay to hear him yell at you.
Doesn’t every grifter have their own griftiversity?
Yeah, I suppose they do.
No he has an “educational” program he calls a university.
Wow, that’s a big list of suckers
If I had no morals, damn. Scamming dumb misogynistic men would be such a killer money making opportunity.
Honestly, if you scam them and then donate the money to progressive causes, it’s as if you collected taxes.
I wouldn’t even call it a scam at that point.
You can scam the women too, you don’t have to be sexist. Republicans are all dumb. Don’t limit yourself.
Is there already a tradwifeveristy?
That’s part of project 2025
Hmm. What does he teach? I’ll start:
Douchebaggery 101
Date rape 102
17 & Under 103
Ha ha.
Sweet
