He generally upholds the status quo in terms of gender roles, and attracted a certain crowd with some pretty extreme views. Instead of denouncing said views, he more or less leaned into the popularity (though never advocating those views) and I think he now generally tells that crowd whatever they want to hear for confirmation bias, to keep making money.

Pretty much. He's like a less extreme version of Trump: In a world where some people are feeling personally attacked because "political correctness" is telling them they need to consider new ideas if they want to be nice to people, anyone publicly saying otherwise is desperately latched on to by those people. It's less that Peterson turns people into drooling morons and more that people that aren't drooling morons don't find him particularly remarkable or interesting.
