Tate mocks Harvard to expose the traditional educational system!

 

[DanSanchez]

A lot of you are missing the point, I personally don't like a lot of what Tate does/says, but this is mostly about the domain name. Education has been reserved to central authorities that he (and a lot of people) disagree with.

Education being the foundation of humanity, individual creators are the decentralization of education. Given the current path "formal" education is on, where as dissenting ideas are labeled as wrong-think and people are being sanctioned for even saying certain things, it's important to note there is power in owning such a domain and having a massive audience.

Is it going to make Harvard or any institution mad? Who knows, and frankly it doesn't matter.

Is it going to formalize his teaching? Maybe, I think Tate has a big enough audience he could sell t-shirts if he wanted to. But he has enough awareness to know education is where the true growth lies, and pairing that with a category-killer domain is likely going to make the sales process a lot easier.

The education he sells might not be equitable in substance, but it is likely helping people create results. I personally have never seen anything other than basic information from him, meaning there isn't anything unique or groundbreaking.

But that should really put things into perspective.

We should all be building value by sharing what we know, building an audience and pairing that with the knowledge of domains that someone like Tate just recently acquired.

Domains are powerful tools!

Instead of looking at domains as a means of getting $10m, perhaps it's time domainers acquire the skills and knowledge to utilize domains as a tool to create continuous wealth through education. Just my 2 cents

I doubt Harvard really cares about Andrew Tate.

Got a few people triggered.

University.com is a nice name. Looks like he's put it to work which is good.

[D Haynes]

Nice name. Hopefully he uses it for good purposes.

Edit...

Just took a look and kinda looks like a self help scam site lol. Like the adverts you skip through before a YouTube video. Pyramid scheme type vibes.

 

[bmugford]

Criminal charges aside, this is not the guy I would be trusting to educate people with some stupid "university".

[NickB]

So the Andrew Tate lovers got my post removed - I'll try and be more constructive this time around and cite relevant, trustworthy sources as to why I don't trust him.......

"According to conventional logic, Andrew Tate – the Anglo-American kickboxer turned public misogynist currently awaiting trial in Romania on charges of rape and human trafficking – should not be this famous."

Hopefully the above is a better way to showcase my views instead of resorting to name calling.....

 

[Elisha.O]

Yeh because is .....& also is misogynist
He declare when was arrested that womens must be slaves...so

Such heavy claims about someone you don't know. It's easy to make accusations and call someone names when you aren't the one in the spotlight. Why not just focus on the domain in question and leave the buyer's life out of it?

I'm particularly interested in knowing if he actually acquired the name for $10m

 

[Bob Hawkes]

Does anyone know who owned the name previously? It seems a few years ago was on an Efty lander, and then more recently, through into 2023, was using Uniregistry nameservers.

Just for fun I put it into the Saw automated appraisal, that suggests just over $1.9 million as worth.

The site has been developed at times in past, as an alternative to traditional university. The record at WayBack Machine is extensive, and I did not try to view it all.

-Bob

PS NameBio show that it sold for $530,000 way back in 1999.

Domainskimming at its best.

Luckily .edu has strict registration requirements to prevent any random person from registering a domain.

That domain is not worth 10,000,000 you can buy a domain spelt differently and get the same effect leading customers to another site such

www.UNlVERSlTY.com​

The only alternative I can think of is college.com, but even I'd probably prefer university.com due to its connotations.

He is going to setup his own university. After seeing the moral standards of western society Tate might be convinced that all western educational systems have failed.

He's not going to set up anything. He's running online courses for $50/month and sells it by comparing it to elite universities. While there are issues with the education system in America, it still host some of the best higher educations in the World, and these issues won't be resolved by some grifter making money off the downtrodden.

 

[The Durfer]

$10m is a practical amount for the keyword university. Its diverse, its common, its very important, its up to a $1B industry in itself. Sure $10m for university dawt com is a good price. i speculate that he brought the price down as well from like $25m

 

[DmytroK.]

This is the guy who beat women's & put them to make s*e for money ?

If he's the bad guy than sorry. Don't know nothing about him. But domain is nice.

 

[NickB]

Made me laugh at loud that the very first FAQ is titled

"Is this program suitable for women?"

Have we got any proof he paid $10,000,000 for it?

 

[SixFigures.ltd]

Pyramid scheme type vibes.

Exactly

 

[jideofor]

He went to court and got off...

Say something else.

 

[JB Lions]

Yeah, he's making good money. The incel market is huge, lots of easy to manipulate/monetize gullibles.

 

[DmytroK.]

Time to develop educational system of 21-th century. 10 millions. Bravo!

 

[bmugford]

He went to court and got off...

Say something else.

The case is still ongoing.

I'm particularly interested in knowing if he actually acquired the name for $10m

I would say that it's extremely unlikely.

Seven figures for sure, since university.com sold to Tsunami VR, Inc. for $1,111,555 (March 7, 2020) for investment purposes, so they wouldn't let have let go of it for less than what they bought it for in such a short amount of time.

But $10 million? Tate is either a terrible negotiator or a liar, and given the person that he is I'd say he's both.

But it was likely a private transaction, and the details won't ever be disclosed by either party.

If you want to use this as a reference when selling one-word .com:s just say "University.com allegedly sold for $10 million."

I doubt Harvard really cares about Andrew Tate.

Brad

But probably one of 5000 students in world will type in university.com and see him, it's like 50k students yearly. More than capacity of Harvard. Comparable.

 

[MKA]

I doubt one of the most prestigious universities in the world is going to lose students to red pill University.com.

Maybe it will make community colleges mad.

Brad

He's not even competing for the same crowd. Even community colleges offer you degrees (or diplomas?) that you need to apply for a job as a welder, electrician, construction worker, etc.

You can't get a job with "degree" from Hustler's University university.com. In fact, the whole point from what I can surmise is that you're not even meant to get a job, you're meant to make money off Open AI's API.

That said, getting university.com was a smart move. A one-word .com does have an air of legitimacy and it's certainly going to pay off.
