If you’ve been on TikTok lately, you probably know who Andrew Tate is (unless your #fyp is squeaky clean).
He’s the British-American entrepreneur and former kickboxer who went viral for his controversial videos, and he’s since become something of a spokesperson for the app. In fact, he’s one of the most viral people on the Internet today.
But what does the TikTok community actually think of Andrew Tate? We asked around (meaning we looked at the top videos in the #andrewtate, #cobratate, and #hustlersuniversity hashtags) and here’s what we found:
@h3_podcast Ok great the word ‘imprint’ is ruined for me forever #andrewtate ♬ original sound – H3 Podcast
The H3 Podcast clearly doesn’t think Andrew Tate is very smart. They were particularly stunned by the quote, “Young girls are easy to take advantage of because they know less, because they have less life experience.”
The H3 Podcast aren’t the only ones who don’t think very highly of Andrew Tate. Many people in the TikTok community seem to think that he’s nothing more than a sleazy pick-up artist. We’ll see many more negative opinions throughout this article.
@noahglenncarter What do yall think #andrewtate #foryou ♬ Paris – 斌杨Remix
Noah Glenn Carter offers an analysis of Andrew Tate’s rise to fame. He believes that the main reason Tate got famous is because of his strategy to get many of his video clips to go viral.
Carter claims that Tate has so much viral potential because people are completely divided on him. They agree with some claims but disagree with others. This creates a lot of discussion and, as we all know, discussion leads to virality.

Kristen Bertone offers a satirical impersonation of Andrew Tate in female form. It’s pretty accurate, to be honest.
In the video, we see Tate giving his usual brand of advice but with a feminine twist. It’s… interesting, to say the least.
@tatecobraking Do you relate with Andrew Tate? #tate ♬ Lost – Crim3s
@tatecobraking is a Cobratate fan account that posts a lot of Andrew Tate’s videos.
Remember how we said that Andrew Tate went viral by soliciting his customers to distribute videos of him across the Internet? Yeah, that’s exactly what is happening here.
Like many others, this fan account is promoting an affiliate link to Hustlers University in order to get the coveted 50{c8122336fa184b41b825475f39221c7fa2e59423b242708028c1f2502555c53f} commission that Tate offers for new registrants. That’s $25 in the bag for each person who signs up.
Anyway, the video shown here features a “relatable Tate moment.” But honestly, we don’t think “relatable” and “Tate” belong in the same sentence. Andrew Tate might be the least relatable person alive—if you’re an ordinary person, that is.
According to Andrew Tate, “women don’t understand how the world works” because they think that becoming best friends after shacking the same guy will be annoying to their mutual lover. This is absolutely groundbreaking knowledge.

Hayden Bowles analyzes Andrew Tate’s strategy for going viral—leveraging multiple TikTok accounts to promote the same brand. Although Tate does not have a TikTok account of his own, his content is being pushed by various fan accounts (like the one we mentioned above).
Bowles, an e-commerce guru himself, believes this is a genius move because it allows Tate to exponentially increase his reach. Although Bowles acknowledges that Tate is a controversial figure, he pays respect to Cobratate’s marketing tactics.
Additionally, Bowles appreciates the Hustlers University business model. He claims that Tate grew his business from $500,000 a month to over $50 million per year. (We can’t find an official source for that, but that is what Bowles said in the video.)
Some people think Andrew Tate is a genius marketer and a master of self-promotion. Others believe that he’s the scum of the Earth. There’s not much middle ground.
@benleavitt Cobra Tate runs a Pyramid scheme for sigma males 🤑 #andrewtate #hustlersuniversity #cobratate ♬ original sound – Ben Leavitt | Social & Biz✌️❤️
We have to talk about this video again. We dove deep into it in our article, “Is Andrew Tate’s Hustlers University a Pyramid Scheme?” and we still can’t get over how bizarre it is.
In the video, Ben Leavitt breaks down Andrew Tate’s Hustlers University business model. He claims that it’s a pyramid scheme and that the only people who are making money are Tate and his top affiliates.
Leavitt claims that Hustlers University is a pyramid scheme because the product itself is not the main money-maker. Instead, the recruitment aspect is what’s really driving the business.
And he’s not wrong. A quick look at Tate’s affiliate program shows that he offers a 50{c8122336fa184b41b825475f39221c7fa2e59423b242708028c1f2502555c53f} commission for every new registrant. So, if someone signs up for a $49.99/month membership, the referrer earns $25.
That’s a pretty sweet deal for Tate and his affiliates, but not so much for the people who are actually interested in taking the course. If Leavitt’s claim is true, Tate probably isn’t focused on creating a good educational platform as much as he is on making money.
Leavitt’s video has over 13 million views and 1 million likes, which is a testament to the fact that people are fascinated by Tate and his allegedly unethical business practices.
Of course, we can’t say for sure whether or not Hustlers University is a pyramid scheme. We’ll leave that up to you to decide.
@blakewhittall Is hustlers university a scam?#greenscreen #andrewtate #hustlersuniversity #wealth #fyp #foryou ♬ Polozhenie – Izzamuzzic Remix – Скриптонит
Blake Whittall weighs in on whether he thinks Hustlers University is a scam. Overall, he says that the course is not a scam, but he also acknowledges that it’s not a great resource for “becoming a millionaire” as Tate claims.
First, Whittall acknowledges that the community Discord server does have a wealth of information on how to make money online. However, he says you could find a lot of the info for free on the Internet.
According to him, the key benefit of Hustlers University is having all the info you need in a centralized location. Without the platform, you would have to spend hours scouring the Internet for all the resources you’d need to start your own business.
Whittall ends his video with a few words of advice: to stick to one entrepreneurial venture instead of trying out all the different business opportunities promoted within Hustlers University. He says that copywriting would be the easiest skill to pick up.
@purplehustler You can find more details on my discord👍 #andrewtate #fyp #viral #hustlersuniversity #foryou ♬ original sound – Liam Garcia
16-year-old Liam Garcia shares his firsthand experience from within Hustlers University. This video is based on his “Day 17” progress. He discusses how much money he made from each venture he pursued based on the content within Hustlers University.
As of day 17, Garcia claims he earned:
- $50 from crypto
- $211 from stocks
- $700 from dropshipping
- $600 from copywriting
Obviously, this man is wearing a ski mask, which is a little sus if you ask us. His claim of earning $1,529 is also pretty incredible. We’re not sure if we believe it.
What’s even more sus is that Andrew Tate’s Hustlers University affiliates earn a 50{c8122336fa184b41b825475f39221c7fa2e59423b242708028c1f2502555c53f} commission for each new registrant that they refer.
Is Garcia being honest when he says he made over a grand from digital skills, or is affiliate marketing his real hustle?
@moneymethod6 Should uou join hustlers university? #foryou #trending #hustlersuniversity #andrewtate ♬ Tourner dans le vide – Indila
“Money Method” as he calls himself shares a video about Hustlers University to help us plebs decide whether we should join. (Well, he didn’t say that, but that’s the vibe we get from our dear Cobratate.)
Money Method shows us around the Hustlers University dashboard, and that’s pretty much it. The video itself is not that helpful in terms of giving us an idea of what the course is actually about.
However, the comment section is pure gold, so we’d like to highlight a few of the best ones:
- Gubby❤️✨: People saying it’s a scam are the people who are not willing to put the work in
- @JakeKassel:I look at it more as a side hustle university instead of a “career” or finance life changing university which is cool if you don’t already hustle
- user3242000365263: He just gave us all the links 😂
- Evan: All that info is in the internet for FREE!! Why are people so fixiated with having to buy a course/group for everything?
- Kev: For the people who don’t wanna have a 9-5 and actually live life it’s worth it you won’t regret joining it you just have to work hard and put effort.
The opinions are all over the place, as you can tell.
Some people think Hustlers University is a scam because it’s just a bunch of information that you can find for free online. Others think it’s a great resource for entrepreneurs because it saves you the time and energy of having to scour the Internet for information.
Then, there are the people who are convinced that it’s a great way to make money, and those who think it’s a scam because of the affiliate marketing aspect.
All in all, it seems like it’s up to the individual to decide whether or not Hustlers University is worth the money.
