Exercise is useless when it comes to weight loss. I agree. And if you don't, read the relevant literature.

Anaerobic exercises, which literally destroy your body can help you lose weight; however, that effect is only as effective as the diet you stick to.
Yes, exercise itself is useless, because a majority of your results come from the diet.
But straight up saying that exercise is useless is disregarding the results that come from actual routines.
A person who eats like shit can maintain a body standard through intensive exercises; however, a person who eats like shit that does nothing, will result as shit.

Right. Like HIIT training. The average person doesn't do interval training, however. Only advanced athletes do that.

But straight up saying that exercise is useless is disregarding the results that come from actual routines.

I know. I am a personal trainer.

A person who eats like shit can maintain a body standard through intensive exercises; however, a person who eats like shit that does nothing, will result as shit.

Ummm...

A person can eat like shit and if he's below his weekly kcal maintenance he will lose weight. I won't even mention nutrient deficiencies.

A person can eat garbage, well under his kcal limit, and be under weight. Now, he'd be skinny fat, which still leads to metabolic syndrome and the like.

People say oy gevalt I need to get to the gym to lose weight!

No. Fucking no.

The gym is for maintenance of muscle mass while on a diet. Pounds in the kitchen, less than ounces in the gym.

Exercise should be used to maintain the weight standard, yes, not meant to lose weight with.
However, cutting the calories takes lots of discipline, that most people ignore and chomp down on chips and sodas.
Keeping the body active increases a metabolism that should be maintained either way.
It's an old argument to blame the lack of strength and energy because of age.... because there are 70+ year old body builders, whom the skeptics will always claim: "Those are not normal people." to justify their excuses.

If you're exercising to lose weight you're an idiot who knows nothing about weight loss.

You should exercise while on a diet to minimize muscle loss while in a kcal deficit. But exercising to lose weight is retarded.

They give an overly simplistic view to justify not exercising while not explaining the biology of how metabolism works

Bro what do you expect? It's a Vox video. If you want an explanation of metabolism watch Layne Norton or someone like that. Not a video meant to be mass distributed to the normies who have no idea about even the basics of metabolism. Exercise is not good to lose weight with. This is an established fact.
