if i had to grow a b2c startup with zero budget today:
- founder-led content
- reddit
- seo
- email
i wouldn't touch paid ads until one of those channels showed signs of life.

Fixed it for me
David is trying to silence us.
They sent us a cease and desist for sharing what's actually in their products.
David's founder previously built RXBAR a brand famous for clean, simple ingredients.
Now he's built David, a protein brand whose bars have over 15+ ingredients, including a chemically modified fat your body can't digest and artificial sweeteners.
Their new frozen dessert claims to have:
- 30g protein
- 260 calories
- under 2g sugar
Here's how they get away with it
Instead of real milk fat, David uses EPG a plant-derived oil chemically restructured with propylene oxide so digestive enzymes can't break it down. It passes through your gut mostly intact and that's why the calorie count looks so low.
For sweetness they chose sucralose
- same in Quest bars
- reduced insulin sensitivity in healthy adults
- sucralose-6-acetate, a compound present in commercial sucralose, damaged DNA in human cells in vitro
- linked to gut microbiome disruption
We shared publicly available ingredients and published research
David's response was to send a legal letter telling us to stop talking.
That's exactly why Oasis exists
To break down what's actually inside these products, the ones with great marketing AND the ones that are actually clean
Oasis app is complete trash in case you missed the recent takedown. Absolute grifters using AI to hallucinate imaginary health markers. Just look at the recent controversy: regenerative eggs rated at like 30, bone broth below 10, etc. Completely detached from reality. Lawsuits incoming.
