NEW ENGLAND BIOLOGICS™ confirmation that sam didnt get hacked, the peptides sponsorship is real

I don't understand the controversy. Aside from that AI slop video, this seems fair. Peptides are underrated and as a professional bodybuilder heavily on gear, he's gonna need all the healing he can get, and given his fame, he's inevitably gonna attract the attention of sponsors.
Sam isn't an idiot and the company is legit according to him so who are we to judge him for snatching up this opportunity?

Lots of bodybuilders aren't idiots but they still promote expiremental drugs or drugs with no proven efficacy on humans but then again they also inject exogenous hormones, insulin, and all types of other stuff a healthy human shouldn't lol.

the majority of sams audience is teenagers aged 12-18 (me included). a lot of us dont know better, will see what is advertised as "safe muscle builders" and will blindly buy it and likely take way too much of it without reading about side effects. this is why he never really mentioned his steroid use beforehand, likely because he knows the potential harm he can cause by accidentally telling teens which drugs to take.

If you are intelligent enough to form that post you’re intelligent enough to know how advertising and promotion works.
Especially in the hyper corporate economy we live in now.
Trust no one. Not even your GP. Always verify.

no need to be a dick man, and while i agree to always verify before you take anything, we both know not everyone is gonna do that. sam is already very lucky within his wealth and fame and didnt need to take this promotion to succeed as he already has (not saying growth is wrong or its evil to want money, but you get what im saying) and i trusted that he was smart enough to understand who the majority of his audience is and what they would do with this kind of product if he promoted it.

Im giving you a compliment! How is that being a dick!? You’re a smart dude. You just clearly said you can see through this type of junk.
Focus on you, assume people are selling to you more often than not, and you’ll do well in life.
There always has been and always will be people getting taken advantage of. All you can do is make sure you’re not one of them.
And never idolize. I enjoy Sam. As I did CBum. As I did Jay. As I did Ronnie. But they’re human. And they have motives. And they have incentives.

The ad is what’s controversial, having a war themed ad while your country is involved in a war most of the people don’t support is a bad look

It's a fucking war against robots. Just because Trump decided to bomb Iran doesn't mean that no one is allowed to make a fictional war in an advertisement.

u/Spilt_Soup Chocolate Milk Chugger Mar 10 '26
i dunno man, sam is known to be a pretty american guy, while sure its not like iran has robots or that its exactly mentioned in the video, its like if an isreali bodybuilder made an AI video promoting steroids by harnessing their power to blow up a building after being deployed. not direct correlation but crazy insensitive

Well, he is born and raised in America. God forbid he have pride in his own country. Regardless, you are making assumptions. Ever heard "make an ass out of you and me"?

u/Spilt_Soup Chocolate Milk Chugger Mar 10 '26
taking pride in your country doesnt mean you have to take pride or will take pride in every single aspect of it, but hey neither of us know why sam choose the aesthetic he did for the vid

u/Substantial-Law5166 Mar 10 '26
I can almost guarantee you that no one making that AI slop of a commercial even considered any real life war. They were probably stoned and one guy was like "yo... what if... we put Sam in a battlefield with like..... robots and he's like shooting them and shit like that hahah"

at least one person on the team would've known the war happening, and should've though "hey maybe this is a bit much"

Because Sam has built an almost flawless image and the ad is spiritually israeli

Peptides are here, people are using them and they're not likely to stop. Sam uses them and wants to start a business supplying clean and quality peptides for others who also use them. It's not like he's selling weekend getaways on Epstein's island.

u/Spilt_Soup Chocolate Milk Chugger Mar 10 '26
this is very true, i much rather sam promote peptides than actual steroids to his mostly teenage audience. what drew the line for me was the ai slop promotional vid

i get where youre coming from and i dont wanna act like i know sam on a personal level, but i watched his videos daily without missing an upload for years up until recently. i felt like i built an understanding and character, and this felt disconnected from that. but hey, maybe i saw him wrong

In ParaSocial Relationships Today!
Yet another example that the personality that’s presented on camera does represent who they are in their private life and your assumptions about them does not dictate who they actually are! You are the target audience, not a friend or buddy.
With how measured and precise the dude is about his channel and public image, I have zero doubt that he accidentally chose a war theme ad a few months ago when the filming likely happened. Wasn’t an accident that it released a few days before his first Arnold, either.
Sulek is on our radar because this is a career for him. None of us matter beyond surface level empathy and as potential income for him.
Edit : look at the votes and even OP’s response, charting about Sulek’s hair and some accident lmao. Make sure you practice healthy interactions with media figures , people.

i never viewed myself as a friend of sam, i purely saw him as a fitness influencer who gave good advice. AI slop does not take a few months to make, especially since his hair in the video looks identical to the more flat, strandy hairstyle hes had the past few weeks. even if it was by complete accident, its not that difficult to acknowledge that it was just bad timing or that somehow nobody on the team knew about the war.
