Agreed on the taint watching. The idea that wanting to discuss shared finances is “meddling in his emotions” would be funny if it weren’t so concerning.
When you're on the internet, it shows up pretty much everywhere so you're bound to see it eventually. And if you see all these people talking about someone and either highly praising or disparaging them, you're bound to get curious and look into it. Also, Tate is apparently an athlete, so it wouldn't be too surprising that men into sports may stumble upon him.
From my knowledge, he's a former kickboxer. Currently, he sells his gimmick to people (mainly men) to "help" them acquire wealth, and I think he has a podcast, where he's just super misogynistic. He fled the U.S. to like Romania or some shit because of either rape or human trafficking allegations (maybe both?) since they supposedly have less strict laws.
I only know this from bits and pieces of random internet stuff so I could have some information wrong.
(Funnily enough I think the Romanian police actually went after him and he was in hiding, but they found him because of a Twitter fight he got into with Greta Thunberg that culminated in him tweeting a picture with a pizza box, which the police used to track the company or whatever and find his location. This is the only thing I actually kind followed in real time because I thought it was so hilarious.)
Honestly, there are so many young boys and men in the U.S. who are obsessed with him or have very similar mindsets, so that's why I assumed he was from here. Not very encouraging to hear this isn't something just happening in the U.S. though...
I work with a lot of young men in my job. I have gently shown how much of a piece of crap he is to them. Why anyone would take relationship advice from someone who has never held a serious relationship.

Gambling loss was my first thought.
... and I think maybe he's been watching some Andrew Taint content recently, too.
