We really do live in the shittiest dystopia, I totally get if you're not some SJW virtue signaller sponsors are hard to come by but I've been noticing things again ( I know but I can't help it ) and there's this pretty weird trend I'm seeing of youtubers now shilling drugs. I'm very capitalist and I do respect the hustle to a degree but like with finance stuff that kind of thing manages to make even me feel a bit uncomfortable.
Think I'm going to have to name names on this one because I bet as well they're going to be marked up to hell and not necessarily even good products when you can get the exact same shit over the count without any issues. Paul Joseph Watson and Alex Jones went through this shit with those weird supplements they were peddling but now I feel we're getting into the realms of shady where even youtuber chiefs are going "Hey guys! Try this mysterious powder for a better sleep!" and the lotus eaters have gone that route too because wah demonetisation, I'm not shocked this has finally happened. It's enough to make even me nope out of there and then they'll wonder why their viewership is tanking and claim they're being censored.
That does seem to be a trend with certain people and I'm putting out a bit of a warning on this one. They whine about demonetisation constantly. Do dumb shit for monetisation through other means, then they do try and make it out that oh it must be because of youtube screwing us that our viewership is dropping it can't be because things are starting to get unwatchable now.
The political commentator crowd especially don't seem to understand that their content just doesn't do that well because it's oversaturated as fuck and it's not even necessarily anything to do with youtube algorithm shenanigans. Do these guys even know what's actually in this stuff? They claim they do, or did they just get a brief from the sponsor in an email and are peddling it because of how much they're getting? Which to me given the history of youtubers that do this seems more likely.
I'm baffled by that, unless you've got a medical condition which then I'd understand. Surely you'd just get a better diet if you're on the way to vitamin deficiency unless it's something you can't help. Being British I never understood the paranoia Americans had around big pharma until covid happened.
Now I've been red pilled on that I totally get it, I feel like this is just another way they're trying to push drugs as a solution to all your problems like fat people getting a regular diet pill or if you're feeling confused about your sexuality taking hormone therapy. The fact that the lotus eaters especially did entire videos on this with how profit driven it all is and now they're drug peddling rubs me the wrong way and I can't ignore that.
Yeah, they'd better be doing their fucking due diligence on this otherwise I'll have lost a lot of respect. It almost makes the NFT stuff seems quaint by comparison because the people who were peddling that knew full well it was all a massive joke. I know the scottish lord thing as well by the GG crowd was just a way to troll Dankula which was hilarious.
Vitamin-wise, there's occasionally a few vitamins that are handy to boost up on, at least a little. Zinc and Vitamin C in particular for a little bit of an immune system boost.
But by boost, I wouldn't say take the standard "2000%" mega pills, so much as add a little more to your diet or include an occasional vitamin supplement every once in a while.
I think most multivitamins are a bit of a crock though. Usually covering far more than is sensible or usable in a person's daily diet.
I guess money trumps ethics when it comes to many content creators.
Survival trumps pretty much everything, yes.
And you don't have to buy the supplements.
I don't know. I feel that the world would be a better place if everyone in the western world took Super Male Vitality.
At least Alex Jones would be able to afford his lawyers.
