Well, big tech companies are busy to push Andrew Tates of the world on kids accounts. If you open a new account for a young boy, algorithms will feed him Tate kind of philosophy in about a day.

Characterizing Andre Tate as being pushed by big tech is like characterizing YouTube "pushing" people to use iPhones. When it came to people actually putting their thumbs on the scale, that went overwhelmingly against Andrew Tate. A lot of young men genuinely resonated with what Andrew Tate had to say, but admitting to that would be admitting that Andrew Tate was one of the few figures who was actually listening to young men, even if he was doing so soley for his own profit.
