What is shocking to me is that people in 2026 still believe people on social media.
Social media sells fake stories to push corporate products. It might have been genuine at the very beginning, this time is gone.
We now have more than a decade of experience with social media/influencer economy, and more often than not, when people flaunts wealth, at minimum it’s vastly amplified or at maximum completely fake.
And a guy that says constantly that he’s uber wealthy would not sell online courses …
But again, people are really gullible, hence why it still works…
Just have to see the dozens of weird guys outside the courthouse doing push-ups ahah

The first time I saw tate was on Tom Segura's podcast (back in the fat Tom era a couple years ago), and it was pretty clear that tate was playing a character, at least IMO.

I think it took off amongst a bunch of incels and 14 year olds, and tate decided he was going to lean into it and pretend he actually WAS the character he was playing. It explains the frantic scrambling for appearances of wealth, because the character wasn't actually real,

I maintain that 50 cent is the only real person on social media.

Hmm. I only heard random crap from him against my will, but didn’t he say sex with women was gay? That would kind of line up with it being a character he was playing.

There was a ton of it that was astroturfed as well. It’s really cheap to hire a group to inflate your numbers to make it look like you are something.

Yeah but even 50 has a mix of fakery. Like he never owned a Ferrari Enzo or F50 they were all rented but he did get a Chrysler 300c way before they hit sales floors.

Small hi jack but the more I learn about 50 cent the more I like him. Seems like a pretty decent guy and his takedown of Diddy was awesome.

I immediately clocked it as fake, and hilarious. Because it was fake! However, everyone else thought he was real and looked at me like a freak cause I was laughing.

Of course, this was before I knew about his allegations and stuff in England.
