Reviewers shred annoying "VShred" guy.
The "VShred" ads are among the most annoying YouTube ads. I did a search and many sites mercilessly rip into this Vin Sant guy. Some of the reviews are older. It seems that lately VShred is all over YouTube.
Will Vin Sant Leave You Jacked or Scammed? In one very NSFW video review, "VSHREDS COPIES ATHLEAN X FOR A LIVING," the reviewer uses relentlessly bad language. I won't post a link. But, the content is very illuminating. He shows direct examples of Vin Sant copying video content from Jeff Cavaliere of Athlean X. Sant does a poor job and stumbles over his words. There is a another video where Cavaliere himself derides Van Sint. The main VShred point is to buy their supplements. We Need to Stop V Shred Buyer beware!

Those ads are horribly annoying! Van Sant also had a section where he was pretending that he was being interviewed by Joe Rogan, by using the same background. I don’t think he owns the company, but is just the model face.
I was seeing them all over. I guess we see more, since we watch workout videos. However, I haven’t seen any lately, thankfully.

Haha, I remember a kettlebell workout video he put out a few years ago that was soooo bad! Jeff Cavaliere (and Jesse) did a parody of it that was hilarious!! Vince Sant (backed by V-Shred) has had a bad reputation of copying other people's videos, but his form in demonstrating the exercises would be so bad, and he got called out on it by the "bald, angry guy", Jeff Cavaliere and others. I can't believe V-Shred still has ads out there.

i'm still seeing them when i go to YT.
while we're on the subject, for awhile i kept seeing these really disgusting ads on google. the one with the image of a fingertip that's been photoshopped with what looks like alien eggs. it really unnerved me and still gives me goosebumps. to get over that, i googled "disgusting finger with mold spores on it" and Reddit had several threads that the "mold" or "growth" thing was part of a flower bud.

Dr Drew is promoting him now too. Which made me ? him. Funny never thought how easy it would be to get a red curtain and say you were on Joe Rogan. Actually brilliant.

I don't think I've ever heard of him! Hmm. I'll have to pay more attention.

 Vshred is obviously targeted to beginners. The average person loves to hear "just take our supplements and eat all the pizza you want." [rolleyes]
