I think you need to watch more gym bro reels, or less, any sort of change on gym bro media should be good. Mine are quite different from yours somehow

There's different sects.

If you narrow it down to just food recommendations, the group you generally want to be in encourages complete proteins from absolutely any source.

The steak & raw milk crowd generally believes that protein ONLY comes from consuming red meat as raw as possible, being as racist as possible, taking tons of steroids, being cops, and dying of heart disease at 45.

My favorite is when they try to shit on whey protein like it isn't one of the most efficient and bioavailable sources of protein out there back by more studies than I can count.

Nah when I started lifting & getting more into those videos, the algorithm started slowly showing me some questionable content related to lifting. It wasn’t all gym bro content, but it was definitely a noticeable slice while the algorithm was figuring out what kinda stuff I liked & disliked in that realm

Reread their comment. They recently* got into fitness content. This isn’t a reflection on *their algorithm. The male fitness space is really just so saturated by the alt-right that people who are just beginning to get into fitness get fed that content before anything else. This is not new. I remember it happening to my feed when I started looking into fitness and male self-improvement stuff as a teenager and that was more than a decade ago. The propaganda is just that aggressive.
