From Brittney Dawns fitness scams to photoshop, eating disorders and 'online cults', explore the toxic side of social media and influencer culture.
Have you noticed how social media has become dominated by so called influencers?
Now there are many benefits to following these extremely popular figures, you get free advice, product recommendations and also get to feel part of a community all striving towards a similar goal.
And in return for the value provided, they are rewarded lavishly, without the need for a single qualification.
You have people giving advice which is not at all backed by science. Medical Science isn’t the only way to cure something.
With great power comes great responsibility and a lot of these people are just not ready or prepared for such a thing.
And the consequences are devastating...
Part 1: Unregulated Advice
From the fitness programs to supplement recommendations, most of which is shared and promoted in mainstream fitness is mostly unregulated.
This complete lack of regulation is why so many people are following misguided advice which is often extremely dangerous.
And with the way in which social media works, this is only becoming more and more problematic as we have our cognitive heuristics exploited.
Part 2: Instagram VS Reality
Most of that which you are shown on social media is only exists in a hyper-reality.
Trying to compare yourself with this illusion you are being shown can be extremely detrimental to your mental and physical health.
Part 3: Fitness Cults
The ideal image which the fitness industry projects is clear.
And it can be truly enjoyable to aspire to reach these body standards. Unfortunately, these standards are only getting more and more extreme which creates a breeding ground for eating disorders, cult like diet groups, fitness groups and online communities.
While being a member in some of these groups can be beneficial/ enjoyable, thanks to the previous mentioned problems, when being a member of these groups becomes part of your identity, you are susceptible to the traps which lie and wait.
Final Message
Maintain balance when it comes to health and fitness.
Only follow science-based advice.
Only compare yourself with yourself.
"Have more than you show, say less than you know."

My classmate from elementary is 160cm in height and about 140-150kg in weight. She started getting fat at age 14, not because of disorders or illness (her mom is skinny, her dad used to play football (not US football) and her brother is fit too). She was getting fat due to overeating junk food. She is now 28, and she recently posted few pictures of her at a beach wearing a bikini with a caption: I am happy the way I look, body positivity ftw. I told her that she can be happy as much as she wants to, but that she will die by age 35 because of heart failure. She got offended lmao. I then told her she can be mad at me idgaf, if you wanna die young because of overweight, suit yourself...

[@aethris1238]

@@vanjamenadzer Yeah bro, that ain't helping. Informing her regarding the benefits of getting fit would be much better. Regardless if it's her fault or not, you don't want to kick someone when they are down/in a bad place. If a person had just been through a toxic relationship and has been warned prior by many of their friends to not initiate that relationship in the first place, then it's for the friends to cheer him back up and get him back to his feet, not say 'LMFAO get fuck' and let him suffer in chronic depression. You're not considered 'tough' if you say stuff that is not necessary and may offend. You're just being an asshole.

[@kcwidman]

@@vanjamenadzer Yeah, I'd be offended too. That's just a flat out dick move. The body positivity movement has a lot of toxicity and dangerous ways of thinking, but by the sound of it, so do you too.

Because social media is designed to show off what you have. And only the positive things. So you are spammed with tweets like "hey look i just bought a car, I just dropped 30 kg of weight, I bought a puppy, I got hired to this insanely well paid job". And people don't realize that, that person might only have tweeted a positive thing in their life once, but because you scroll through your feed you get spammed these messages from multiple people across the globe. So to you it seems like everyone has their life together and always get what they want, when that's just far from the truth. And the other half of the time you get all the hateful and negative comments making you dislike humanity. It's just bad for mental health overall.

[@GGGmod1]

imo its a really stupid thing. Hormones from pregnancy could severely develop your breasts effectively adding pounds of breast tissue only, something you cannot remove without surgery. How in the world is this diffcult to understand that having a certain weight isnt indicative of a certain status. You can be stuck being over the weight you were before the pregnancy but that doesnt mean you are fatter. It could literally be just extra development of a lot of things that add some weight. And being at the body fat percentage you were at beforehand will not put you at the same weight.

Incredible production quality. You can tell when someone has “it”, and you definitely do my friend. Please keep it up; I can’t wait to see where this takes you!

[@KidDynamite22]

Your vids are fantastic man, very happy I found the channel

[@l.e1847]

Josh is literally saving lives out there ! Keep going Josh !

[@cailan7465]

Made amazingly well, very clear, came from Reddit and I’m impressed. It seems your videos are based around fitness, why don’t you breach into other topics as well, you are good at speaking.

[@cailan7465]

Also have to add that I’ve seen the v shred adverts and there really annoying, the dude obviously knows nothing about how to guide people properly, weight loss is more simple than it seems, these extreme diets are bad, slow progression, by exercising more and eating less is the best way to lose weight.

@Wizard strike gaming Thankyou very much😀 Do you have any other topic suggestions?

[@simonegable3440]

@@brettjosh please make a video on "militant vegans" or any of the extremist in the plant-based world (e.g. Freelee, other fruititarian/lowfat "influencers")! I'm a vegan and found that space so disheartening when first starting out

The production on this is unreal. Keep it up Josh

[@ngxoxo]

I was trying to find a memorable quote from this video to put in the comments, but every sentence is basically memorable. great job.

[@BammyQ]

The production value and information value in these videos are always ridiculously high. Respect

[@WOLFSTER2011]

I hope, this kind of Information will be used in our schools to make our children aware. The earlier the better! Can't wait for the next ones. Great Job Josh!

[@amusik7]

Wow ... this channel is blowing my mind. Huge respect for the research, story telling and editing - it was very hard work. Well done!

[@mickeyari2628]

please do more vids like this! your videos are truly amazing, dont limit yourself to just the fitness industry. You are far more capable than that.

[@LotusOfDoom]

Really love this channel and the incredible production levels on your vids.

[@neyfidelrosario]

Your vid production is goals my guy.

[@skyejacques]

Thank you so much, Brett. You're doing the documentaries I wish I was making for my own truth seeking and revelation global issues 😊💪🏽 So so helpful and very well researched!

[@TylerTheCompiler]

your stuff is sooo good...i just wish your frequency would increase...but you bring great awareness to people...I hope you get 1M subs in 2022 GL!

[@zzzbyyy]

I feel like this video should be shown in EVERY school ... to teach young people that mass media sometimes have nothing in common with reality.

[@michaelborrome7462]

Really great video, Josh! I was aware of the negative effects that social media can have so I stopped using all social media many years ago, except for KZbin. Social media is not inherently bad but, speaking for myself, I'm able to navigate KZbin while maintaining a level head. It was much easier to fall into dangerous comparison behavior on other platforms. However, since I haven't been on other social media, I wasn't really aware of the variety of negative experiences that social media has been causing. I love that you are telling others to be wary and have balance. Great video.

[@schuletrip]

Mate, your videos are absolutely brilliant. Really nicely produced, great sound effects, great points and great narration! Good. Stuff. Keep em coming!

[@guilhermesmith1609]

Realy good video, thanks and congrats by the production!

[@Darmoyasun]

maan I love these types of videos! so good

[@dusanzivkovic3246]

Great video brother, commenting for the algorithm so more people see this!

[@fbbox5846]

I must say how impressed I am with how well put together your videos are: excellent video editing and production skills for an individual creator. Well researched and informative. Please keep up the superb work, and I do hope your videos will reach the people that need an unbiased, honest and realistic view of the fitness and beauty industry.

[@speedy_o0538]

Amazing video dude. You covered so much in a short 14 minute video. Glad you brought up the body positivity movement also, they use the same tactics and can be just as destructive for peoples health.

[@Jubair194]

Love this channel, keep *spreading* awareness my dude!

[@Tropiiico]

Thank you so much for your hard work. The editing, the format, the timestamps, the whole explanation. Everything was great! Congrats! I truly wish the race to money will finally stop one day, and the only way to do that is by educating people so that they don't fall for all those dangerous diets, supplements, programs, etc. A happy life is so much easier to achieve then we think, but we always over complicate stuff I guess.

[@joemerz1429]

Just started watching this channel and this is already one of my favorites! How do you not have more subs. Your videos are better than channels with a lot of subs. Keep this up. You have a promising career!

[@user-il9ze9py8c]

Really great quality work, man. I think a lot of what you release is important because it has a huge effect on the expectations and self-esteem of a lot of people, especially young people. It's great work!

[@shootdang8618]

Man the info here is priceless. The editing on this video is crazy good. You've got skills man.

[@IlyaPhoenix]

This is a very needed video to watch to expose the reality that stands behind pretty pictures on social media. Thank you, Josh!

[@deadpixeldesigns4308]

You are a fantastic content creator! Thank you for your time and effort in making your videos. Exposing the frauds that strive to prey upon others for their own ambitions should be applauded.

[@josepina9990]

I've watched some of your videos and, all I can say is great work keep it up!

[@hayes9443]

Thanks so much for making videos like this. I think this is the most valuable content on KZbin. The mind is the greatest asset!!

[@blessedzulu]

I knew the rest of this channel's content is gold after I watched the V Shred video and I'm glad I chose to stick around to see the rest. This is absolutely brilliant video production and you just earned yourself a sub, mate. You're much like James Jani, just smaller. Not for long, though - I can assure you all.

[@raider7790]

I saw all these things, but I couldn't tell people it the effective way without going out of my own way. Thanks for making the video.

[@mbah8011]

You deserve the money and fame of these influencers. You do such great work. Your videos are done very well and the info is always on point. If I did not know this was KZbin Id say this was done professionally.

[@BongChongy]

This content is amazing! Cheers from across the pond 👍🏼

[@lucashoover2977]

dude this video is fricken amazing! the amount of effort going into these videos needs to be recognized! this dudes channel is so underrated, keep it up bro!

[@DadBodFitness]

Holy crap dude, yeah I'm so glad you are getting some more eyeballs on this content. You clearly put your heart and soul into these. Content level is super quality and the editing and production value is amazing. Well done. Can't wait for more!

[@gymovements]

Thanks so much for raising our awarness and potentially saving us from the harm of having high expectations from influencers.🙏🏼💯 May all social media users will get to see this video🤞
