I read some books people here recommended and they were insightful. I was at another "agile shop" even more recently and noticed the difference between experienced business people who promote Agile like the idea of it and that's cool, in theory. Probably could be cool. So I'll say it's not a total scam.
EDIT: Here's the book /u/kida24 recommended which I'm glad they did. It was quite eye-opening in how Agile can work for some industries. https://www.amazon.com/Age-Agile-Smart-Companies-Transforming/dp/0814439098/
It's just the Bible thumpers like you said who ramble on about it. It's a waste of my time as a designer, and it's interesting that when I freelance contract at a place— even for months or years— I'm always asked to do my work outside of Agile as I'm paid by the hour to produce, so me attending Scrum or Points or whatever is a waste of productivity and dollars. They would be hiring someone basically to work part-time and paid full-time.
