TikTok full of snake oil salespeople and medical misinfo

It’s hard to see past the incessant ads for Trublephcent or whatever, and hear how the side effects* may include exacerbating the problem for which one is taking the medicine in the first place (or even much, much worse). I certainly wouldn’t turn to TikTok for any kind of advice (other than a food recipe). OTOH, if I’ve formed this idea that the makers of Trublephcent don’t really have an idea how or why their medicine actually works (to say nothing of how the mind actually works), well, I didn’t form that idea in an internet-free vacuum.

*may also include wordiness & ranting
