Summary
Andrew Tate has launched a platform for creators to monetize their content, similar to Patreon and Substack. The platform gained 36,000 “founding patrons” and $23 million in pledges within hours, causing server crashes. Tate built the website in just one hour, acknowledging its janky state.
Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Andrew Tate’s new platform promises to revolutionize content monetization, but sounds like a rehashed Patreon. Tate’s one-hour website build is either a testament to his genius or a sign of a hastily assembled product. The $23 million in pledges is impressive, but also a reminder that people will throw money at anything that claims to be the next big thing. The server crashes are just a bonus. Because what’s a launch without a few technical difficulties?
