An application called Minnect, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, is allowing users to consult with far-right extremists and neo-Nazis, who are labeled as “experts,” for a price. Among the several extremists featured on the app, including some with a history of violence, are Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, violent Islamophobe Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson), neo-Nazi Richard Spencer, and de-facto leader of the European white nationalist Identitarian movement Martin Sellner. These “experts” who have given “advice” to paying users have either previously, or are currently, calling for the marginalization of communities or for extremist takeovers of governments — with Tommy Robinson calling for “chaos” in his responses on Minnect.
Minnect was co-founded by podcaster Patrick Bet-David, who was found to be running multi-level marketing (MLM) companies, a controversial business model akin to a pyramid scheme, often associated with illegal marketing strategies and predatory recruitment practices. In 2013, he founded an investment group and YouTube channel called Valuetainment, and later “took a hard right shift into political commentary” through the “PBD Podcast” YouTube channel, which now sits at over 2.7 million subscribers. He’s hosted the likes of Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, Tommy Robinson, rabid misogynists Andrew and Tristan Tate, and Donald Trump, of whom Bet-David is a staunch ally. Years of alleged MLM scams and podcasting with far-right bigots have culminated in Minnect, a profiteering strategy capitalizing on the far-right’s ongoing cultural takeover.
The platform allows users to pose questions and have conversations, either by video or text, with self-described “experts,” at a cost. Anyone can sign up and self-declare as an “expert” in a range of categories, including “politics,” “government,” “DEI,” “media,” “content creation,” and several others. As a result, Minnect has attracted mainstream influential figures such as former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo and NBA player and human rights activist Enes Kanter Freedom, who are listed alongside extremists like Tommy Robinson. “Experts” set their own prices — Bet-David himself charges $110 for a text message, $300 for a video response, and $800 per minute for a 15 minute video call (a $12,000 fee). The Minnect company takes a 20 percent cut from each transaction.

Bigots As Political “Experts”
Canadian Chris Pavlovski, the CEO of Rumble, a video and streaming platform overflowing with far-right extremists and violent hate speech, appears to be a lucrative figure for Minnect and Bet-David. Pavlovski, listed as an expert in “Government,” “Business,” “Entrepreneurship,” “Film and TV,” “Social Media,” and “Technology,” has completed 153 consultations as of October 23, charging $1,000 per text answer, $2,500 per video answer, and a staggering $15,000 for a 15- minute video call. To err on the very conservative side of estimation, GPAHE assumes that all consults are text exchanges, as they are the least expensive. At a minimum, Pavlovski could have charged at least $153,000 for his consultation services, with Minnect receiving 20 percent, or $30,600, under this assumption.

Also among profitable extremists for Minnect is co-founder of the violent English Defence League (EDL) Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who operates publicly under the name Tommy Robinson. Robinson is an anti-immigrant activist, rabid Islamophobe and has a violent and bigoted history. He was rejected entry into Colombia in September 2025 after being deemed a “threat to national security,” and in 2024 he was arrested in Calgary, Canada, (he was subsequently released) after he allegedly lied on his visa application. Robinson served a year in prison for assaulting an off-duty police officer in 2005, and in 2011 received a twelve-month community order for inciting and taking part in a brawl at a soccer match. His other convictions include mortgage fraud, entering the U.S. with someone else’s passport, engaging in “threatening, abusive or insulting behavior” during a fight, and live-streaming a video that encouraged “vigilante action” against defendants in a sexual exploitation trial, according to the judge. Elon Musk recently appeared virtually at Robinson’s rally in London.
Robinson is listed as an expert in “Government” and “Politics” on Minnect, and with 499 consultations as of October 23, meaning he has possibly charged users $19,960, with Minnect raking in a minimum of $3,992 from his consultations. The Times reported in August 2025 that Robinson used the platform to advise users on protesting, evading infiltration, and “investigating” local mosques. After receiving advice via video from Robinson, one user reportedly went on to post online about “paedophile and terrorist Islamists,” and called for people to “smash and overthrow” the government.
Robinson gained such popularity on the platform that he achieved third place on Minnect’s “leaderboard,” which acts as a gamified method to incentivize “experts” to complete more consultations. According to Bet-David, the top three “experts” in each “league” (Robinson is in the “middleweight” league) are treated to flights, hotels, and dinner “with [Patrick Bet-David] and team.” It is currently unknown if Robinson attended such a gathering.

Infamous neo-Nazi Richard Spencer, a proponent for the establishment of a white ethnostate in the United States, who once said the country belongs “to White people, culturally, politically, socially, everything,” is listed as an expert in “Philosophy,” “Politics,” and “Spirituality” on Minnect. Spencer has provided ten consultations, probably charging a minimum of $200 altogether.
Nicholas J. Fuentes, known as Nick Fuentes, is a 27-year-old antisemitic, Hitler-loving, racist, and misogynistic online commentator who was present at both the violent Charlottesville, Virginia, riots in 2017 and the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. He was listed on Minnect shortly after his PBD Podcast appearance in September 2025 (Fuentes referred to the PBD team as being “pushy” about it) and charges a minimum of $100 for a consultation. Within 24 hours, Fuentes completed 27 “consultations” through Minnect, and now boasts 105 consultations as of October 23. Further, Fuentes has probably charged a minimum of $1,500 to users, with Minnect likely pocketing around $300 from people looking for Fuentes’ advice, a man who recently signaled to his hateful “Groyper” followers that they need to “control the United States government.”
Also from the antisemitic influencer space on Minnect is Amrou Fudl (aka “Myron Gaines”). Fudl, who hosts the Fresh and Fit podcast, recently referred to Hitler as a “revolutionary leader” who “saved Germany,” pushes Holocaust denialism on his livestreams, and has written a book called “Why Women Deserve Less.” As of October 23, Fudl has completed 21 consultations on Minnect as an expert in “Content Creation,” “Firearms,” “Police,” “Podcasting,” and others for an estimated $210.

Transnationally, Austrian Identitarian and “former” neo-Nazi Martin Sellner has signed up for Minnect as an expert in “Philosophy” and “Politics.” Sellner is simply labeled as an “author and activist from Vienna” on his page, but the description leaves out over a decade of hateful activism. Sellner is now the de facto leader of the white nationalist Identitarian movement in Europe, but once belonged to a neo-Nazi group called “Stolz und Frei” (Proud and Free), and was mentored by Gottfried Küssel, who was imprisoned twice in Austria for “Nazi revivalism.” In 2006, Sellner admitted to sticking a swastika poster on a synagogue in Baden bei Wien, Austria.
Sellner has a long history of propagating the racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory, whose believers have committed acts of targeted mass violence, including the Christchurch, NZ., shooter, who murdered 51 Muslims in 2019. The shooter donated nearly $1,700 to Sellner’s movement and two other French Identitarian branches. Building upon his “Great Replacement” beliefs, Sellner authored a “remigration” policy proposal, an ethnic cleansing plan involving mass deportations of all non-white people, including citizens — a term which the Trump administration has adopted in its own mass deportation operation and policy. While Sellner has not opened his Minnect to consultations yet, his profile is available to view.
“Advice” From Troublesome Trump Allies
Roger Stone is another “expert” on Minnect, advertised as “an authority on political and corporate strategy, messaging, advertising, and style.” Stone was once Trump’s campaign advisor, and was found guilty in 2019 on seven counts, including five counts of lying to Congress, one count of witness tampering, and one count of obstruction of a proceeding (Stone was pardoned by Trump of his crimes in 2020). Stone, as of October 23, has completed 85 consultations, for which he has probably charged a minimum of $8,500. Minnect, based on this assumption, has probably pocketed a minimum of $1,700.
Self-proclaimed “secretary of retribution” Ivan Raiklin appears to be another popular extremist on Minnect. Raiklin is a former Green Beret, lawyer, and failed Virginia U.S. Senate candidate. His history of violent rhetoric cannot be understated. Raiklin’s “Deep State target list” is part of a grotesque scheme to target “public officials he considers traitors” against Trump, including former Vice President Mike Pence, so they can be punished for treason, of which one punishment in the United States is death. Appearing on the conspiracy program InfoWars in 2024, Raiklin suggested that Trump being assassinated would be beneficial for his campaign against the “Deep State,” setting off the “best cleansing and the fastest cleansing that we’ve ever seen in my lifetime.” Raiklin has completed 99 consultations as of October 23, meaning he has probably charged users a minimum of $4,950.
Virulent Islamophobe Laura Loomer is described as an “investigative journalist, Trump Ally, [and] political commentator,” and listed as an expert in “Animal Care,” “Media,” and “Politics” on Minnect. She frequently goes on anti-Muslim trades on Twitter, saying “Islam has no place in the West,” “America is being taken over by Islamic Jihadists,” and “there is nothing peaceful about Islam,” all in October 2025. Loomer’s political influence is clear — she provided a list of “disloyal” National Security Council (NSC) staffers to the Trump administration, which CNN reported resulted directly in their firings. As of October 23, Loomer completed 60 consultations, meaning she has probably charged a minimum of $1,500 for her advice. As a result, Minnect has probably pocketed at least $300 from platforming Loomer.
Also on Minnect is Gavin McInnes, one of the founders of the white supremacist Proud Boys, whose leadership was prosecuted for their role in the January 6 Capitol insurrection. The description on the Minnect website touts him as the creator of the Proud Boys — who are listed as a terrorist entity in countries like Canada. McInnes has nine consultations on Minnect, thereby probably charging a minimum of $450 for his consultations, with Minnect collecting at least $90 from his consultations.
Savanah Hernandez, an InfoWars alum and contributor for Turning Point USA, an organizational supporter of the Project 2025 authoritarian playbook which the Trump administration is now implementing, is listed as an “expert” in “Media,” “Podcasting,” “Politics,” “Social Media, “Communication,” and others, on Minnect. As of October 23, she has completed 61 consultations, meaning she probably charged users a minimum of $610. Minnect, after their 20 percent cut, has probably taken in $122 from Hernandez’s consultations.
Minnect Is Part Of The Problem
Over the past few months, the United States has seen far-right extremism permeating the mainstream media, including antisemites on popular podcasts, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posting fashwave edits on their official Twitter account, and the Pentagon announcing a new press corps consisting of far-right extremists and disinformation peddlers. Trump’s administration is also implementing a mass deportation policy eerily similar to Minnect “expert” Martin Sellner’s “remigration” ethnic cleansing proposal, a term also adopted by the United States government.
Minnect plays a role in this changing ecosystem, just as mainstream platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram have all either been recalcitrant, or outright refused, to implement and enforce content moderation policies safeguarding their users from harm. This year, Instagram’s loose content moderation has allowed neo-Nazis to flourish on their platform and monetize hateful, and supposedly violative content. Minnect faces the same problem. Bet-David’s profiteering off anyone who claims to be an “expert” in any field risks not only further normalizing far-right extremism, but also positioning extremists, such as people with histories of violence like Tommy Robinson, as people of authority and credibility. The platform’s lack of policy regarding hateful conduct has allowed for this, as their Terms and Conditions only prohibits “threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party,” without any mention of screening “experts” for violent histories or hateful rhetoric linked to violence. As extremists continue to be legitimized in the mainstream, including by profiteers like Bet-David, we risk an escalation of targeted violence that has long–been connected to far-right ideology, such as the Martin Sellner-linked Christchurch, N.Z. mass shooter, the Buffalo shooting that killed 10 Black people, and far too many more.
