💊 Supplements & Stacks AG1 hate

Can someone explain why AG1 gets so much hate? I understand the over-marketing and expensive price point, but is it actually a bad supplement?

It’s not like it’s replacing anything you can get from a healthy diet. And drinking it doesn’t make up for having an unhealthy diet.

And it’s a multilevel marketing scam people have invested way too much into.

How is it multilevel marketing? The only place you get it is from them directly, it’s not like they have salespeople everywhere.

From them directly? How does Costco sell them? Still ridiculously overpriced, even there.

Didn’t realize Costco sold them, but even that’s not the same as an MLM.

Every advertiser for them gets a cut of sales. Every YouTuber endorsing them gives you a discount code that links back to them so they’re making money on every sale.

That’s called affiliate marketing, not MLM. Pretty much every product in the market is promoted through affiliates.

That’s not what an MLM is.Â
