I’m going to say this slowly.

If Andrew Tate & his ilk were right about ANYTHING they’d have no audience.

Guys would listen briefly, apply advice, & be WAY too busy with their new gfs, side-pieces, & high income hustles to bother tuning in.

It’s the Tinder principle: if you’re happy, they lose a customer.

Their business model is your unending misery.

@Catvalente honestly though if you think about it that's a lot of companies. not just obvious ones (duolingo, i'm looking at you) but also things like plumbers -- if they fix something completely, then you won't call them again. of course for all of those there's something in the other direction -- if your plumber seems incapable of fixing things you're likely to switch. I guess we're less good at realizing those things when it's tate-style things?

@FishNamedDog @Catvalente Leave the sarcastic owl out of this, even the *hurk* IPO doesn’t touch that level of evil (though to the precise point, I can read newspapers in about four more languages than I could before, so I feel like that’s a readily self-perpetuating win.)
