The “Real World” is run through the online instant messaging platform Discord, which has numerous channels where members of the course talk to each other about making money or their ‘big wins’.
One member claimed he had as many as 1,000 fake Tate Tiktok accounts. Another said he had been posting videos of Tate on Instagram for months without success, until one of his videos eventually went viral and a viewer signed up to the course using his affiliated link.
He posted his first “big win” into the Discord channel, as other members praised his achievement. “Thanks guys, we’re all going to make it,” he wrote. “I remember yesterday thinking I will never be like those guys that get views”.
This first big win? $11.
If the claims of 200,000 paid users of the course are true, at £40 a month this would net Tate around £96m a year.
Members are encouraged to keep their identities secret, so they address each other as “G”. Tate himself is referred to as “Top G”.
