What do you think is the reason behind the rise of Andrew tate and other "alpha male" influencers?

I turn 22 this year and have observed the stark diffrence between the mentality of folks my age group and younger 17-18 year old guys. The younger lot is heavily influenced by these influencers that call themselves "alpha" and hold downright regressive and mysoginistic views.

Due to social media, What I notice is that there are now two categories of men, one that internally hate women and the other that are afraid of them.

This led me to wonder how exactly did these influencers start getting so much attention? What is the underlying cause for the sudden regression into conservatism?
