The Tragic Downfall of The 19 Dollar Fortnite Card Guy

In the late lockdown of early 2021, TikTok was beginning to flourish as people had so much leisurely time on their hands. And with that came a flurry of new creators, mostly dancers, groups of "influencers", lolcows. But amongst them was a man who created perhaps the most viral meme for the entire year, and it wasn't out of intention, it happened entirely by chance. That's right, the man who made the 19 dollar Fortnite card meme. The man's name is Fate Moffitt, and all he did was create a video of himself giving away a card that had virtual currency, yet it somehow spiralled out of control within days of him making it. It spread across social media, and led Fate on a run of creating viral TikTok audios, which millions have heard and began to associate the man to the sounds they heard. He dominated the space for the majority of 2021, and suddenly fell off at the turn of the year. I didn't hear much about him for the next several years, that was until news spread of him becoming someone very different to his former self. My subscribers told me that he had started to threaten children, make strange comments about young girls, hate on literally anything and he had become a bit "evil". There were rumours spread of him becoming homeless shortly after his fall off, and with the information that my subscribers had given me, I decided to take a look for myself. It lead me down a rabbit hole, going through all of his content old and new, finding a tale of betrayal, racketeering, downward spirals, poverty, ego, stubbornness, failed dreams, the list goes on. I came out of that rabbit hole with three main questions, "where did it go wrong" "what went wrong" and "What Questionable acts push the downfall?". Come with me, as we go through the rise and fall of the 19 dollar fortnite card man, in this investigation into Fate Moffitt: one of the Internet's Most tragic characters.
