      V-shred is just the face of a marketing firms / content farms who specialises in making viral content. His videos are entirely intended to be clickbait with even attention from negative feedback being part of the plan. Guys like Mike Cheng and LIver King were the same, it doesn't matter how much they get exposed, the companies them are still making money and will just replace them with the next clickbait model. Basically all forms of social media are rife with these shitty content farms; 5 minute craffts for example is one of the biggest channels on youtube with 78 million subscribers and and the content they produce is mostly fake/staged. They get exposed over and over again and yet the channel keeps on pumping out conent. Nothings going to change until more attention, critisicm and regulation is put on the behind-the-scenes companies who produce this shit.

      Unfortunately consumer exploitation is currently the name of the game regarding the fitness industry. Well, most industries, but the whole "sell people on absolute bullshit by exploiting collective ignorance" seems to be particularly obvious and egregious to the point that it's constantly being talked about.
      Honestly this really seems like an issue with American market regulations first and foremost. Shit like this should be illegal, false advertisement or intentional mismarketing/misinformation should be punished financially. The fact that people can just get away with outright scamming or exploiting people with no repercussions is maddening, and really an indication of what is wrong with the current American economic model.

    Something you guys missed about VShred, he was straight up lifting old AthleanX videos when he was first getting started: from the exercises being performed to the verbiage he was using to try and explain his reasoning, and fucking it all up.

    I decided to see what the V-Shred program was about. I took his little quiz, and got my “body type.” I decided to join, out of curiosity, knowing I could cancel for a full refund.
    The program is ONE PROGRAM- once you join, the body type thing is out the window, and everyone gets the same program, unless you pay extra ($187) for a customized program. You are also bombarded with emails- as many as 6 per day- pitching more supplements and programs to buy!
    I was completely turned off by his pushiness as soon as I started! Now, I’m trying to get my money back, and I got a response to my email saying they’re busy, and it may be 10 days before they can get back to me! I’m totally disgusted, and I’m going to spread the word!

    • @AveSicarius
      @AveSicarius Před rokem +2

      Many people are stupid, many more are naive or ignorant. The real issue is that current marketplace regulations allow exploitations of this with zero repercussions, as long as you are paying your taxes, you can get away with misleading people, intentionally misinforming them and exploiting the ensuing ignore, and just straight up lying about your product to rake in as much cash as possible.
      It's not just the fitness industry, it's everywhere, and huge controversies where companies promise one thing and provide a wildly inferior product to the expectation they profited from regarding pre-release sales, for example.
      It's insane that this is legal, yes some people aren't even interested in educating themselves and sort of choose to be stupid, but at the end of the day, law should exist to protect the weak. I don't see why the weak minded are any different regarding that. We even see vast tax-free megachurches abusing charitable donations, charities themselves using the money as effectively just tax evasion and laundering for the rich, and organizations like Scientology (which is a cult but is first and foremost a way of committing mass fraud by stealing people's money en masse and funneling it back into the organization) go completely unpunished.
      Realistically the state of society is going to get any better intelligence-wise until we have a system where many profit massively off of collective ignorance and stupidity (obviously also in a more meta sense regarding politics as well as unethical market practices). We live in a world where any person over 60 has probably experienced how necessary vaccinations are if you don't want to see kids shoved into something like an iron lung but people nowadays are in complete denial of this to the point that long-dead diseases have started to reestablish a foothold in places like the US. Misinformation and stupidity are actively harmful, it's completely mad that we've never seen a push to regulate the impact it can have.

    I work in sales copywriting. We write ads that “sell the click.” That means we just need something that yields a high enough click through rate to send traffic to a funnel for a low cost. In the funnel, we need to write video or landing page copy that “sells the read” or keeps them reading or watching. The longer they watch, the more likely they are to buy. The more people who buy, the more money you earn that you can put right back into promoting the ad. So if you keep seeing a direct response ad everywhere, its probably because its working.

      thats why even this video has a headline of "Why Vshred is THE WORST.." or why 99% of other YT vids have headlines like "Trump DISMANTLES Libtard student who asks question". It's all sensationalism because thats what gets the click.

      The issue is that due to their hyperexploitative marketing practices and the sheer amount of money being thrown into the scam, channel's like V-Shred are EVERYWHERE. I've been part of the community for well over a decade, I've educated myself on the subject and only follow somewhat credible channel's, and I'm STILL GETTING fucking V-Shred adverts almost every day, I'll report the ad, and another will be back the next day, or replaced with a totally different scam. For a person who's new to the community and being bombarded by this, they aren't being directed to useful channel's like Zacks, they are being funneled into the scams themselves, and this is going to alienate so many people from the get-go.
      This is only going to get worse when the bigger companies get a whiff of how easy it is to scam people. This isn't just going to go away because of CZcams's current lack of regulation and refusal to actually enforce a basic code of conduct outside of whatever the fuck it is they did recently with the "adult/kid" split, which basically encourages exploitation of freaking children as well.
      Quality content can have a meaningful impact on those who watch it, but such content is currently being buried in a quagmire of ever-increasing sewage...
      It's not about life not being fair, it's about platforms like CZcams deliberately encouraging unfairness because they make more money that way.

At some point Jeff and his crew discovered it and started putting pressure on him so he made new videos of his own exercises which were laughably bad, so much so that AlthleanX made a point to break down all the reasons why they were absolute junk.

And then you have places like CZcams willingly accepting money from scam artists to air their ads incessantly (there are much worse and more obvious than VShred), some of which are completely amateurish and obvious bullshit. The advertising networks should be held liable.

    To the over weight folks reading. Try this….

    Do elliptical on weight loss setting to start off. Should be about 30 mins~ stretch.
    Then do some light weighted work outs on machines. About 10-20 lbs but 20 repa a machine.
    Do this for two weeks. Then the next two weeks do 30 min elliptical followed by 30 mins of another form of cardio
    Then just alternate every two weeks until u get stronger to do a bit more as in higher settings.
    U can take two days off a week for the workouts.
    Next, ur diet. Dont eat until 12 pm. Follow a keto diet w super low carbs. If ur not sure about a food, google to see if keto friendly. Diet is the hardest for the first 2 weeks and ull get used to it.
