ignoring the dick riding answers; he started out like many others, posting ideas etc but was catapulted by @cobie after appearing on the podcast UpOnly. Ansems' first big claim to fame was calling cosmos when no one else was as the next big thing, once that failed he moved on to gamefi with Jewel/DeFi Kingdoms. it was sometime after this that the bulk of CT pushed him out. Then came the memecoin shilling. imo I think his popularity is mostly driven by the rapid increase of interest in crypto from 3rd world countries. He's not white so earns some kinda "made it from the hood" vibe that ppl obsessed with the West seem to love
