Yeah, that is a huge problem of late & IMO it stems from the influx of people from Reddit etc who primarily see Meso as a place to buy PEDs & now meds like GLP’s etc, rather than the more “traditional” type of member that historically dominated Meso’s member base.
and the average gear user is now a nerd in a quarter life crisis.
before steroids got so popular on the internet, it was just athletic guys, actual athletes, or a friend of one of these guys, etc, a specific demographic.
now with the internet, every hobby/subculture is watered down with a bunch of NPCs that wouldn't have any knowledge or interest in it, if it wasn't for the internet putting it directly in front of their eyeballs and spoonfeeding them info,
they would have to organically fall into a subculture and it was like a filter.
If steroids weren't pushed by an algorithim and being shoved down these NPC throats, most of these guys wouldn't even think of touching them, hell they have to be shown steroids every day and have a guy talk to them via entertaining dopamine youtube video to be interested in it. so mainstream
back in my day, if you got into something, you were in the niche, not just gear, anything. you went out, you met people, you did new things, learned stuff from word of mouth. If
like this shit is illegal, even going to the gym wasn't a common thing to do, you'd have to know a guy who knows a guy to get gear and want to progress in the gym FOR YOURSELF, well pretty much anyway, considering instagram and dating apps weren't a thing, You can see thousands and thousands of people talk casually about gear online, millions of views, back in the day you just knew the people who did it around you personally, and some foums.
you'd have to recklessly pump some shit in you because you want to be a monster, not because you want to increase your LBM or post a video to tik tok or you want to take masteron because you think you think it will cure your bitch-itis and you'll start being an alpha male through BIOHACKING.
in my day You just put this shit in your body and you hear a few anecdotes here and there and wing it.
its takes a specific type of dude to want to do this without having their hand held and pushed to it by people on youtube and redddit, reassured that everyone does it and its medically studied and you won't die etc, there was a whole lot of mystery so it took BALLS.
in the days of the anti steroid 1990s early 2000s, even when weed was kind of taboo. now nothing is.
so we have all these mainstream NPC idiots bringing their NPC thinking here like its an afterschool club, makes me SICK.
guess what nerds? get in the locker before i shove you in it
