Supplement Grifting

By Leo Gura - June 9, 2025

The amount of money that supplement grifters make is insane.

This is a staggering level of corruption which goes unrecognized because it has been so normalized. But this is not right. Most of these supplements are just a sophisticated form of theft.

Mainstream media gets so much shit for being biased and corrupt. But alternative media has even lower standards when it comes to truth, bias, misinformation, grifting, corruption, and conflicts of interest. This notion that alternative media figures are not corrupt is absurd. This is part of the foolishness of populism. Most famous podcasters are corrupt people, just because they are charismatic and likeable doesn’t change that one bit.

The people in the mega podcasting space are as corrupt if not more corrupt than the people in mainstream media. These mega podcasters are living off $100’s of millions of corporate money. Their populism is fake. They live like billionaires and their interests align with billionaires and unchecked capitalism. They make $100’s of millions off peddling performative populism to rubes.

There’s no possibility of truth, philosophy, or genuine spirituality in this kind of hyper-capitalist cesspool. Because everything is about maximizing profit, which means pleasing the rubes who are to be milked. The rubes are so ignorant and corrupt themselves that they will be milked while wearing a smile on their face.

You have to really look under the surface of how all these mega successful alternative media figures work. Look at their business models. Look at where their hundreds of millions come from. Look at the conflicts of interest. Look at the audience capture. Look at the algorithm capture. Look at the clickbait and gossip. Look at how conspiracy theories are used to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars. None of this is coincidental. You don’t just earn $100 million dollars for being a good guy. That kind of money requires corrupt shit to be afoot.
