To ask for an alternative response (MLM related)

In the last two years or so, quite a lot of friends have started MLM.

I hate the idea of the whole thing, but tend not to comment especially since a lot of them have calmed down since they're not allowed to have parties. Also they tend not to do the Boss Babe, Living my Best Life type stuff, thankfully.

There is one friend who will not stop. Every conversation turns to her fabulous products, I've just had yet another social media post taken over by her trying to flog stuff to me and my other friends.

Other than saying 'I'd rather scrape out my insides with a rusty teaspoon than buy any of your overpriced tat as a gift' do I just have to block her? Anyone got an alternative response that might work??

Block and delete her

Just mute her, her zeal will likey peter out after a few months.

Yeah block her until she gets over it

Depends how close you are, but I've had massive boom in people adding me to their MLM groups on Facebook/insta etc. Even though I decline every invite, they'll just reinvite me over and over again. So I've started messaging people saying, in a polite but quite frank way, that I have declined their invite yet they keep inviting me. Please stop as I have lots of people doing the same thing and there are people who I am closer to and if I was going to buy said product, I would buy from them.

I do understand that this last year especially has been tough, and most people who I know who've started selling these things are from the travel and hospitality sectors so obviously have had a very bad year work wise, but surely they can see that if people decline a FB invite and don't reply to their mass messages, then they just aren't interested!

Can you just stop her seeing your posts until she gets a grip.

Keep sending her this link whenever she mentions it.

Tell her that you do not buy from exploitative, misogynistic schemes, and hope she manages to get out of it without too much financial damage. Then put her on quiet.
