Whats up with social media peptide ads?

Recently, whilst doomscrolling TikTok, I've noticed more and more ads that are showing peptide factories claiming to be 'real Chinese sources'; some are clearly AI-generated and others are low quality.

Now obviously, I would never order from a social media advert as they seem sketchy AF!

I just wanted to see if anyone has any info/anecdotes about these. 🌸

About a month ago, a friend made a post sharing personal information about their US vendor. The platform immediately flagged it. When they requested a review, their entire profile was completely taken down for violating guidelines. The platform is acting incredibly strict with organic user discussions.

However, at the exact same time, I’ve noticed a massive uptick in sponsored advertisements for telehealth services offering these exact same options right on my feed.

It feels like a massive double standard. Standard user accounts and personal discussions are getting restricted instantly, while corporate medical platforms are allowed to aggressively market paid advertisements.

  • Are any of you seeing a surge in these sponsored telehealth ads?
  • Has anyone else had their personal discussions flagged or lost an account recently?
Curious to hear your thoughts on what's driving this sudden shift!
 
I mean, I think you hit the nail on the head figuring out the delineation. They are PAID adverts. SM won’t let anyone get away with free advertising…
 
I click on at least one a day. If I keep telling the algorithm I like peptide ads, it will keep showing me more. If every ad I see is a peptide ad, it makes it much easier to ignore all the ads.

I think some of them are resellers but the majority is most likely scams. Not worth the risk imho I'd never buy from a tik tok ad.

That said it's really scary at how popular peptides have suddenly gotten. Everyone from his man and dog is currently using them and these resellers are making a killing.

Only joking, but man it's a cesspool of scams, peptides are just the latest iteration. I had TikTok on my phone once for a whole 5 minutes before punching "uninstall."

Same. When it was all the rage in 2020, I never had any interest in it. If I want to see 30 second videos, I will go watch YouTube shorts. That's where they all end up eventually anyway.
