As we can see, many people who once knew nothing about looksmaxxing are now becoming aware of it.
people like Clav are going mainstream, bringing even the most extreme and previously gatekept methods into public view.
The good thing, however, is that these methods are currently being presented as absurd or not worth pursuing,
so their appeal remains limited.
When we talk about gatekeeping, it’s clear that communities like org and forumlooksmaxxing.com have already become public and well-known.
We often complain about misinformation in these spaces, but after spending months or even years filtering through it ourselves, we’ve learned how to distinguish between cope methods and legitimate ones.
In a way, maybe we should actually celebrate misinformation.
When someone promotes things like jaw exercises, face workouts, thumb pulling, palate widening, facial masks, or “natural” transformations, it shouldn’t frustrate us.
It should be seen as a kind of protection. That’s how niche communities keep their most effective methods hidden in plain sight: by allowing surface-level misinformation to circulate while only those who truly immerse themselves in the community eventually uncover the truth.
It’s similar to how steroids are viewed by the general public. “Normies” often think taking testosterone is the same as megadosing tren and automatically assume it comes with catastrophic side effects; so they stay away.
Meanwhile, people who spend years lurking the space, experimenting carefully, and learning about proper protocols can actually benefit and use them safely.
The same idea applies to people studying genetics, brain chemistry, grit, ADHD, and related areas.
Those who’ve tried countless coping strategies and invested serious time learning are eventually more open to using stimulants.
Meanwhile, most people stick to motivational talk and virtue signaling, avoiding practical solutions because they’ve been taught to shame the use of pills.
That stigma keeps them in place,
while those willing to think critically, study deeply, and act responsibly are the ones who end up accessing real improvement.
What can you realistically gatekeep anymore? Even if you share something with just 10 trusted people in a private group, the chances of one of them leaking it are high. If you keep it entirely to yourself and do not patent or formally protect it, someone else might eventually make the same discovery independently. And if you try to enforce secrecy by punishing leaks or controlling access too tightly, you only create paranoia or lose control altogether.
In a hyperconnected world, strict gatekeeping no longer works.
The only viable approach left is controlled misinformation, allowing simplified or distorted versions of real concepts to circulate publicly.
This way, only those who are truly dedicated and discerning will take the time to separate truth from noise. Letting greys repeat their misguided methods will just keep forums filled with TikTok slop, and the elixir of looksmaxxing will remain gatekept from low-IQ normies in plain sight; only high-IQ people or those who hyperfixate on looksmaxxing reap the actual benefit.
Misinformation becomes a natural filter. It hides valuable knowledge in plain sight while giving outsiders the illusion of understanding.
In that sense, deliberate misinformation is the only form of gatekeeping that still works.
