Note for newbies: "Downline" means people who are the lowest level of the pyramid/MLM scambralamabra.

Eyes I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the motherofall bot video. She looks vulnerable.

Is she on day release?

Norbert I know your bot. All her posts stink of desperation. I think she is on the team with one of the high up bots who's name I'd love to mention but cannot.

Is this 'jumping ship' going to turn from a trickle into a flood then?

Cozie - I think so. I suppose it makes sense to leap to the next big earner. It seems that the older, more saturated MLMs are losing momentum at quite a speed. Not to mention, the negativity they're attracting now. A new opportunity that means you'll be positioning yourself at the top of the pyramid is a no-brainer!

My Ariix bot posted this today - along with a spiel about how she has so much energy and survives on hardly any sleep due to having an ill toddler. At first I thought it was two very small tampons!

kamchatka23 it'd take two very big tampons to suck all the blood out of that glass, unless they're made of those magical residue-infused mlm cloths which make everything disappear.

If the main managers jump ship then are they going to take all their down lines with them? There might be a lot of confused people out there either way.

It was rather ......... interesting.

That was an awful lot of 'officially's you used there, Cubic?

(Thanks for the comments though. It sounds like mayhem.)

There must come a point though - perhaps quite soon - where the credibility of the existing MLM is too severely wounded by these defections to continue?

Out of interest, has there ever been any amalgamation of large player MLMs? It seems like a possible strategy in the circumstances.

The downside of attraction marketing, possibly?

I'm really good at reading all these threads but rubbish at commenting. Stopfaffing several pages ago said exactly what I would have liked to! Thank you to all who engaged with the MLM contributors to the thread, you were informative, pithy and funny. All antidotes to the never ending "my story" waffle from all the MLM people. All we would like are some factual answers. Eyes you must have some die-hard patience to have carried on battling this over the years

The Ariix (ne JP) lot round here have an NLP / EFT person giving regular team sessions where individuals admit to crying and not really understanding why. After experiencing an emotionally abusive recruitment attempt by a Christian evangelical group in my teens I became a wary and cynical type and this (alongside the Ariix logo) gives me the creeps.
Has anyone physically seen any of the Ariix product - as in being used by a customer? Does it exist? It's still all hush hush on the FB pages, lots of alluding, no product name mentioned and fingers covering words on bottles. Those tampon style capsules seem to be taken in various doses depending on how heavy the previous nights session.

This page www.slenderiiz-uk.com/_shop/ which looks like you could order from it, leads to nowhere and is still using descriptions the ASA told them to stop using. All the high up Ariix people just keep banging on about The Opportunity and promotions and momentum events. Quite a lot of Ariix info online is a few years old - I found a resource for uplines with a lot of training calls (oh the tedium) not updated since the end of 2014. On it, it shows that an Ariix representative could buy the Slenderiiz drops for $80 a pack if they bought 10 packs which they could sell on for $120 a pack. The business is also based on referring rather than recruiting! To buy into it was costing from $350 - $1270 in 2014.

I don't know what it is about Ariix but the whole thing scares the bejesus out of me! From their logo to their products, even their titles and marketing plan look sinister. Forever looks positively benign in comparison and that's saying something

Bots speak!

Intriguing how our FL bot friends just denied the existence of Ariix....

That's really interesting info pretty
