Not all, but a lot of coaches. Like the 23-year old just out of school "executive coach", or the "lifestyle coaches", "energetic coaches" etc.

I'm shocked that no one has said Essential Oils yet.
They smell nice, if you put them in those burner thing, they have that going to them.

If you run a website: Paid SSL/TLS certificates. Free ones like Let's Encrypt and ZeroSSL are just as good, and can be automatically renewed.

"Social" "networking"
Agile Coaches.
Itβs like having a cadre of political officers in your team.
I mean isn't it obviously homoeopathy and a significant part of the rest of alternative medicine (not all of it I guess). It is a billion euro business in Germany alone.

Gamer glasses
My eye Dr recommends the blue light filtering and "digital lenses" so I got them. I haven't noticed any difference in how my eyes felt. The info packet that came with the glasses noted at all claims regarding these features are not supported by any medical studies.

GrapheneOS. Among the considered Android custom ROMs suitable to use, it is THE snake oil for security and privacy. It is mostly a rebranding of AOSP features and kdrag0nβs project put on top of AOSP. It is a deep rabbit hole. I did a dissertation of what it is over a year ago. https://i.imgur.com/pQHoq84.jpg
Linux/FOSS/privacy communities across Telegram, 4chan, Reddit and Lemmy are filled with propaganda they disseminate, often via few hour old accounts or via long thesis like comment spam. They have instructions on how to do this publicly. https://imgur.com/a/fpcsIL2
Any questioning or criticism of this snake oil product will result in an instant ban, and further questioning may result in internet wide harassment, bullying and witch hunting.
Great alternatives are CalyxOS and LineageOS. The devs and community behind them are respectful, helpful and welcoming of criticism. They also do not harass critics and go around shit flinging on other FOSS projects. They also do not shill for Big Tech or Google/Apple.
Edit: seems like GrapheneOS sockpuppets are back at downvoting

The American "food" industry, the American "health care" industry, American politics, the prison industrial complex, the military industrial complex, entertainment, right off the top of my head.
Standing desks - stationary standing is just as bad as stationary sitting.
Blue light filter stuff - it's my understanding that there's no evidence that blue light causes eye strain.
