There is a lot of hate towards him, since he is a a prominent and loud misogynic asshole among other things. It's therefore satisfying to see his reputation get drawn through dirt by public news coverage. That takes some credibility away and can help people to steer out of his way. (Yes, there are people who fall for people like him for posing as some "alpha-male" bullshit, because they got some problems with themselves and their (love-)lifes, which makes them succeptible for snake oil salesmen like him.)
I didn't knew about him before that as well and sometimes I wish I didn't get to know of him. But I see it as advantageous for others to become aware of this highly problematic person.
If it's someone who is already prominent, it's therefore okay for me to get that "shitty people news coverage".
Tate's actions can affect youth's future. Some UK schools are teaching the dangers of misogyny after his posts went viral.
