This is a fair response. I'll definitely look into the RINP. From an optics perspective you have to admit it does look bad that you are a mod here and your competitors are being discredited, no?

Only if you don't know who I am. I have been a moderator here for almost a decade. I was a mod here before I ever started a company. We launched on Reddit, and grew organically over time as Reddit did. I helped build this subreddit into what it is today. I am also the moderator that has always run the lab testing side of /r/Nootropics. I would go out and call out companies for selling fake shit or posting fake lab data way before I ever owned Nootropics Depot. It's kind of who I am on Reddit, and really why I got into the industry. I am a nootropics enthusiast like everyone here. I was buying from the available vendors when I first started, too. I was putting shit in my body that I had no idea was even the correct chemical compound, much less pure. I knew that had to change, which is why I started my company. My entire mission is to advance the analytical and quality control standards of the entire industry. When I see fake and fraudulent lab data misleading consumers, it pisses me off to my core! That's the entire thing I am fighting! It's what I have dedicated a decade of my life to. I have no problem with competitors. I am even friends with some of them. However, I am not okay with people coming into the industry using false and misleading information to defraud consumers, then using fake accounts to shill and spread propaganda.
To give a little history, the /r/MushroomSupplements subreddit was started by /u/Kostya93 after he was banned by another mod here for shilling for Oriveda. I was not the one that banned him, and the other mods did their own investigations to come to their own conclusions. That doesn't stop him and his other accounts from posting falsehoods about us, though. It's been that way since day one of that subreddit. He would private message people here on /r/Nootropics to get them to come to that sub, and to make accusations against me. It has worked over the years. He has convinced a lot of people that this sub is completely run by me, and it silences anyone that tries to say otherwise. However, the facts just don't match. We are here right now openly talking about this, and nobody has been banned or had their comments removed. You can go back any see public posts and comments going back years. If everyone was being banned, how would those conversations exist? If I really wanted to silence everyone, why would I even allow discussion of Oriveda at all? You wouldn't even be having this conversation right now if their made up lies were true. I would nuke the whole comment chain. If the propaganda was right, would I just not delete every post and comment about them, and ban anyone that complained? That's what they want you to think, but it's just not true. I didn't even make the automod message that pops up about Oriveda. That was another mod. He made that decision himself, based on the results of his own investigation. I could literally not sign in to Reddit for a month, and people would still say that I am behind everything going on. That's because I am an easy target. It's easy to point at me and say I am the one behind everything, but it's just simply not true.
People like to think there is some controversy keeping them from the real truth. It's built into our nature. We get easily riled up over perceived controversy, then take sides quickly. It's just human nature. That's why propaganda can work so well. All you have to do is initially convince someone of a controversy, and then it is very difficult to convince them otherwise. However, you start to realize you were misled when you dig deeper and start looking more objectively. The only reason I am here is to try and advance the lab testing and quality control standards of the industry. That's it. That's my only mission. Customers need to be able to have access to properly tested products, and they need to believe in the data they are given. When someone comes in and uses fake or misleading information, it harms the entire industry. I've helped build this industry from the early days, so I am also very protective of the industry itself. Valid science should be applauded, but fake and misleading science should be called out. Consumers should care about this, too. If a company is putting a number on their products, that number should be based in validated science. If a company is putting out numbers that are not based in valid science, everyone should get upset by that, not just me. It's harming everyone here.
