All this is very intriguing to say the least but I’m not sure I’m following the information correctly- have these users been doxxed or is this just a temporary blow to Tate’s pockets?

It’s not even a blow to his pocket if monthly pay continues.
If it’s only email addresses and chat logs I wouldn’t call it doxxing either.

Then I’m confused - sorry for being this slow- how is this supposed to affect him or his followers?

It’s bad publicity. A failure to protect their customer data and people may cancel due to it or evade them in the future. It’s also an opportunity to report on or discuss their other criticisms.
I can’t speak for them; but it still seems like viable and productive activism to me, whether they do direct or indirect [monetary or personal] damage or not.
