??? Advertising diet supplements on an eating disorder forum ???
I strongly believe that they chose to advertise a diet supplement for an eating disorder forum, in order to make a profit while ignoring safety concerns.
Why do I believe this?
As a member of the said forum, I came across a recently created profile, that has started making posts - all of which were low-effort posts, written in a manner that indicated this individual not to have an ED. They started off with a hook about women being more likely to suffer from eating disorders while citing a study and then straight up advertised a drug while directing users to this website. Copy and pasted sections of the website were included as well.
This behavior stands out a lot. Firstly it breaks many rules, secondly, it is trying to take advantage of ill people, thirdly why would a random individual make a profile on the forum to advertise a drug being sold on a website?
I believe that the people running or making a profit from the website chose to pose as ordinary person on an eating disorder forum. The website is new, there are no Trustpilot reviews and their social media pages have gotten literally next to no attention. Therefore the idea that someone could be so obsessed with their products and company that they would advertise it to people that are heavily struggling.
I'm not saying that this is a fact. This is simply my opinion. Logically speaking I do think this opinion is very likely to be true.
