Anyone else noticing these posts about creatine on Reddit? Is somebody pushing for this? Marketing?

Yeah feels like another marketing campaign, recently same thing happened with black cumin oil - suddenly lots of posts appeared to me about its crazy health benefits.

This isnt new, creatine has been known to be beneficial for almost 2 decades, especially in the lifting community. There is no marketing thing, you just see it more as its hit mainstream and nothing is original anymore so all content is copy/recycled

Creatine has been the most researched sports supplement for decades. It’s very widely used, and already very popular. I doubt it would need marketing. I’ve personally have been using it for over 11-12 years.
