This. More pros than ever before and even more "social influencers" making a living with bodybuilding.

People are becoming wealthy with bodybuilding.

Soon, universities will offer majors in bodybuilding.

It would be worth more than a Gender Studies degree.

At the place I went they had a "Recreation and Leisure" major.

My girlfriend at the time took it.

The internet killed pro bodybuilding the same way it killed magic. Once you reveal how it's done it's not interesting.

That is actually a very good analogy that does make quite a bit of sense.

Back when I first started working out, everyone thought that the ifbb pros were genetic anomalies and legitimate freaks of nature that got to where they were by a combination of hard work and discipline!
20 plus years later the internet has now basically exposed the bodybuilding industry as a collection of drug addicts, who don't do anything differently than The millions of average gym bros who work out, other than risk their life with drug use.
