I've never gotten my head around that aspect. I understand why celebrity endorsements work and why people would buy "Iron Pack" bodybuilding supplements from Arnold Schwarzenegger.
But isn't it obvious, just by looking at Alex Jones, that "Super Male Vitality" will not work as advertised? Or are there other guys who consider him to be a symbol of Testosterone, health, strength, fertility and sex appeal? Meaning do other guys look at Alex Jones and think "yes those vitality drops work well for him"?
- azeirah 6y agoMaybe? He's assertive, outspoken, and "tells it how it is". I can certainly see how to his audience those are signs of a strong man.
- smcl 6y agoI cannot believe it either, especially when he did a side-by-side of pictures which were (supposedly) before and after taking one of his supplements. Instead of looking stronger, healthier or even just generally better in any way he just seemed slightly ... redder: https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/6dhtbb/never_forget_alex_jones_once_posted_before_and/ https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/6dhtbb/never_forg...
- UncleMeat 6y agoI think a lot of it is something of a patreon effect. Alex Jones' followers see themselves as fighters in a culture war and buying his merch as supporting "their side". It isn't like he is the only person selling these supplements, yet he charges way more than normal. So I feel that something else has to be happening here besides people wanting "max force" or whatever. Jones is going to attract people who buy into this alpha male nonsense, but converting that into sales has more going on IMO.
