Dr. Oz Takes Down the Scammers Using His Name to Dupe You

I was ok at the start, but I was competing with the scummy of scum. They were raising the CPA's because they had shit support and skirting chargebacks as best as possible. The only way to compete was to be reduced to their level. Then all the FTC shit started happening. Said this is just not worth it. This show on oz just shows how fucking scammy they are. They internally know they are bullshitters. What a way to live your life. I think when you get to a higher level of consciousness you start to realize that you don't have to sell your integrity for quick money.
Either the product is/was scammy or not. You were ok selling it, you just didn't like the competition or some of their methods. OK. Then the fact that some of the products you were pushing were garbage, is not the real reason you stopped. You stopped because of competition and regulations. That's fine too, but don't climb up on your high horse like you're so above it, because I'm guessing you didn't give back the money you made, right?
Ok I will take your troll bait.
If you ask the people selling these items they will say they are "proven, clinical studies, etc...", If you ask people who take diet pills why they are fat they will give you numerous reasons.
The main point I want to make here is that what happened was within *ME*. I could have continued to sell a product that made money, but my perception of it changed. This included learning more about food and nutrition. I came to the conclusion that most of the reasoning for taking these supplements are based on a flawed out look at living. For example, you have people that have no clue what they are inputting into their bodies yet want a pill that can make them thinner all the while never asking themselves what a healthy body feels and looks like.
Telling me I stopped because of competition and regulations is laughable because you are not me and have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Nice one troll... The "competition" and "regulations" made me rethink why there are these counter forces. Why were customers feeling scammed. Did I not deliver the value? Why was the FTC getting tons of complaints from people who felt like they were taken advantage of? Hmm... yeah it must be because they never read the terms, or it must have been because they are just stupid people... That is what being closed minded looks like and I hope you are not going down that path. When you mature and become wiser you ought to be attracted to a business that delivers real value and you are passionate about it. I realized that I was not passionate about selling people overpriced herbs that doesn't do what the advertisement alluded too. Most of those people should just eat better foods and they wouldn't have as many issues in their body.
:2twocents:
tl;dr: once the FTC took notice and it got harder to make easy money selling berries, you suddenly realized eating right and exercising more are the key to losing weight.
Got it.
I'm sorry your ROI went to shit and you hit your risk/reward tolerance level and took the bird-in-hand route, or what you call "a rethinking of why there are these counter forces". Justifying your exit it by saying you found some ethical business high-ground makes me want to puke.
