Unfortunately a very large part of the population is living their digital life inside closed platforms nowadays and this is getting even worse with younger generations who literally think tiktok and instagram is _the_ internet. On these platforms influencers like Tate can gain popularity extremely quickly if they resonate with your interests, fears, ideology. Tate is/was really popular with men of all ages, representing a mix of hustle mindset, ambition, materialistic goals, working out, mixed in with ponzi scheme like courses on how to make it in today’s world. It gives a simplistic answer to a lot of people, similar to the cults of yesterday.
