When I was on Facebook it was Plexus. From a mile away it seemed like horse shit and half of the results when I searched were talking about the problems they faced as a company and misrepresenting their product, the lack of benefits people felt or received, or the breakdown of what's inside it being nothing too extraordinary.

But I care about the person who posted it initially, and they were making money off of someone, so I wasn't about to blow up their spot.

She posted a photo of it saying how it was a good thing the FDA doesn't regulate supplements because then they'd never be able to bring you miracle cures like this.

Because the ingredients she mentioned seemed more like a food, I asked why they considered it a supplement. As in, it seems like it's make their jobs easier, make it easier to sell, if they'd relax that categorization.

This total stranger from her circle of other sellers she knows comes by and FREAKS out at me, yelled in caps and actually swore and called me names, telling me it was my loss for walking away from an opportunity to receive all the health goodness it had to give, and how dare I shit on other people trying to make an honest buck, etc.

Just to underline things, it was an honest question, directed to someone I already knew and not this other person whose name I'd never even seen before, and the very first time I'd mentioned the product. It's not like I was running an attack campaign. I was actually trying to be supportive by making it seem real and not addressing how screwed up it looked.

I explained myself to the person who lost their mind and she backpedaled and said she was sorry but that she's really sensitive because all she hears are attacks all day and she's very loyal to the company because she's a single mom and feels like [posting spam on her friends and family's Facebook page] is her only shot at making an income.

I've only interacted with one Plexus person who didn't act like a low level neurotic paranoid Mafioso, and that's the first person, the person I was talking to initially. Unsurprisingly, she was an early adopter and makes tens of thousands of dollars a year from it.

It's so weird, though. She says it's a weight loss drink, then if it doesn't work, she says oh well you need to drink this second product to get REAL results. Then I'd that doesn't work she says it's not for weight loss, just overall wellness.

Then her husband posts pictures a few weeks later saying he lost weight. Twenty pounds. We're all amazed, since he doesn't exercise. Turns out, for the drink to work, you're told you have to diet and exercise. Imagine that, he actually diets and exercises and that's the time he loses weight.

Whatever, if it gets off that's the important part. But those people creep me out and make me sick to my stomach. They're so inclusive and self congratulatory they come across like desperate robot people.

Not saying I'm any better, everyone's got their issues, but those aren't my particular ones so it still looks super weird from the outside.
