Andrew Tate is one of the most talked-about figures in the world today, regardless of how one feels about him personally. Many experts all across the world have studied his spectacular ascent to prominence and how he used social media to disseminate his right-wing and controversial views.

To boost his internet presence, he shares videos in which he discusses divisive topics and portrays an idealistic view of a happy and prosperous existence. Andrew Tate's success in understanding and exploiting YouTube and TikTok's algorithm pattern has been labeled a present-day case study in marketing by industry experts.

According to a recent investigation by Sky News, a fake 13-year-old boy's account received Andrew Tate content after he spent just over an hour watching videos on YouTube Shorts without actively searching for any clips of the controversial influencer.

To test if YouTube Shorts, Instagram, and TikTok will still promote videos featuring Tate and his brother Tristan without any prompting, they created a fake account of a young teenage boy. The research revealed that within a two-hour window, nearly 30 videos of Andrew Tate and his brother were shown on the account of Ollie Smith on YouTube Shorts, despite Andrew Tate being banned from all three platforms.

The study also showed that in comparison to Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts had a far larger concentration of Tate-related videos.

Andrew Tate's professional fight with another influencer was the first time either sibling appeared on Ollie's YouTube Shorts feed. This occurred after spending an hour and twelve minutes on the site, including one-hour video viewing sessions. After approximately 15 minutes, or 32 videos, a second identical Tate clip was presented. The algorithm seems to undergo a radical change after that.

Ollie was presented with a large volume of Tate videos, and the space between each clip shrunk as the number of videos increased. The study further demonstrates that despite the ban, Andrew Tate's content is actively displayed on platforms, and his videos are aggressively promoted by algorithms.


Andrew Tate ban: Controversial influencer predicts that he might get shot following release from jail

Andrew Tate has long advocated the theory that "The Matrix," i.e., people in power, employs a three-stage process designed to stifle dissenting voices.

According to him, the first warning they give is either a media blackout or a prohibition on using social media. Anyone who disregards their warnings runs the risk of being falsely accused and sent to prison. If that doesn't work, authorities will eventually resort to killing the person.

Tate recently took to Twitter and wrote that he's prepared for the last stage of the process now that he has been released from prison. He wrote:

"I prepare my body to absorb the brutal kinetics of piercing lead. As all other silencing attempts fail, and stage 3 approaches - I anticipate a bullet will be the chosen utensil of pacification. I can only pray and prepare. I will force myself to breathe the best I can. I promise."
