Despite a lengthy criminal record involving exploitation and rape, the man behind andrew tate real world and Hustlers University has made millions from online courses that promise to teach men how to become more confident in social situations, get more women, and achieve financial success. But critics say the course has some major red flags that could potentially lead followers down a path of risky, illegal shortcuts.
Which course is best to earn?
One of the most significant concerns surrounding TRW is that it resembles a pyramid scheme. The site promotes an affiliate program that rewards participants for aggressively promoting the course on platforms like TikTok and Instagram with a small percentage of their course fee paid back when someone signs up through their link. The program also offers a limited refund policy.
The program also claims to provide students with access to millionaire mentors who can help them on their journey to financial freedom. Its website features testimonials from people who claim the teachings of The Real World have changed their lives, but the success stories lack specificity and verifiable data.
Critics say that the course also resembles a cult. Tate’s hypnotic social media videos, extremist ideas, and claims of awakening echo the language used by some cult leaders. In addition, the emphasis on isolating followers from “average” society and granting him total authority places him in an untouchable position not unlike that of a cult guru.
