The economic science of getting people to pay for trendy health things that don’t work. Whether it be detoxing, stone eggs for a vagina, or hydrogen infused water. It’s a proven science. (Note: self-aware irony in that statement, no need to point it out)

If biohacking has gone from a counter-culture of DIY implants to trendy health gimmicks for profit, that's really upsetting to me.

Trendy health gimmicks for profit have existed far longer than modern bio-hacking. Think radium water or any other snake oil.
