"I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to help people." - Vinnie Tortorich on the Fitness Confidential podcast

disclaimer: the two (making friends and helping people) are *not always* mutually exclusive, but sometimes they can be! 

Sometimes you just have to keep hitting people over the head with the truth. OR they need video proof!

I feel like I have to keep explaining things/keep giving examples! "Online sales shills are paid to plug just 2-3 brands." "Online sales shills are paid to promote their brands, and spread bad info about their competing brands." 

People can miss the signs~! that's all I'm saying 🤣

thoughts on a previous quote - have I been railroaded by the OSS acct advice in the purchase of my sports bra(s)?

 This quote here 

You know, I had previously thought, I was not affected by the OSS accts re: my shopping choices when I originally joined the online bra fitting communities. However, after discovering Enell sports bras, I now realize that I was trying some of the sponsored brands sports bras - none of which worked for me btw. 

But that only caused me to write bad reviews for those bras online. 

For regular bras, I went straight to "the good stuff." 

I keep hoping that the OSS accts will just come out and say, "hey, we work for a marketing firm! We're paid to promote certain brands and stores!"

However, I don't think realistically that will happen.
