We have our own regularly returning bots.

Glossary:

Bots: our affectionate name for victims of the MLM racket

MLM: Multi-level Marketing schemes - essentially pyramid schemes that are just legal because you sell a product. Reliant upon constant recruitment despite there not being enough people in the world to go beyond about 12 levels if everyone recruited 6.

Downline/Upline: the people you recruited and those who recruited you (going up and down the pyramid inverted funnel)

Timeless Vie: Parody of MLM schemes (though you might spot one in particular) that also carries out fearless investigative work

Hommetrepreneur: also excellent parody site focussing on the menz

BotWatch: Rather more serious, keeps an eye on what the Bots are claiming next, particularly in reference to health and income claims. Also fearless.

Inverted Funnel: Timeless Vie is NOT a pyramid - it's an inverted Funnel, OK?

Eyes: Our former member Eyespying who knows LOTS about MLM schemes. He's still our very own #manhun.

When you think that the time is really right, you can maybe send her the BotWatch guidance. It's still a hard hard lesson to learn though.

Thats why they do it, they sell the sisterhood too... Its horribly insidious, she will be made to feel indestructible, like no one could care for her or understand her the way they do etc.... They feed off each other, but my god, they way they turn when you are not earning them money.... Wow. Savage. It never ends well except for the top 1% of ruthless individuals who are prepared/willing to fake, lie, bully, use family connections, break the rules, blame shift etc...

We talked about groupthink a while back... It could be worth you skipping back through the last couple of threads to understand how the theory of groupthink works, I think it will give you an insight into how this is all so easily orchestrated and so very convincing.

Thanks - I'll have a read back. Yes, my niece is probably desperate for her dd to be happy and motivated in her life. She's been to hell and back with her since she was 14.

And it's situations like your great niece's that contribute to people on these threads becoming so.......energised about MLMs. She's not the first by any means.

Have a good study, initially, of that BotWatch page that you were linked to. It's worth reading yourself.

Here's the link again for anyone just catching up.

people who care about you are worried

Thanks cozie thats a better, more direct link for round than the one I shared 😊

Anyone lurking who may have an optical view to offer? 😉

Optical?!

You know, a visionary type of lurker... 😉

I do hope Barnbot comes back
I've got lots of things to ask her!

It's been a spectacular shit show on Facebook this afternoon

I know! Touch of schadenfreude here but I think we are entitled

Never believed in Karma before, but just goes to show how wrong one can be

Oh Mrs I get ya

Someone watching things secretly? Like an agent? Someone like that?

Oh dearie me when I look at the FB pages of those who are 'coming out' and spilling the beans, they are still super positive and lifestyleeeee
Just goes to show, behind the facade the Huns are not so Hunnysweet
-makes popcorn and settles down to watch the show-

Message from Eyespying-

It's tragicomic that I can no longer participate directly in these discussions (for insisting on telling the truth and provoking thought) whilst certain 'MLM' shill Bots (whose ill-tempered contributions are thought-stopping lies), can.

Sponge who could be that fucking cheerful all the time?

I love my job, I can call my colleague a cunt, and he'll agree, then we laugh. Imagine not being able to say you've had a shit day and everyone's a cunt

The people coming out are real people who have gone through things you cannot even begin to imagine. Trying to rebuild their lives, get out of bed in the morning, remember any ounce of the person they once were. But maybe they don't want people to know that, maybe they want to look on the outside like they aren't broken. So those lifestyle positive posts are more than likely so that the people who have targeted them don't know exactly how bad they have made them feel.

Useful insight.

Thanks Delurker.

Makes you realise, doesn't it, how these FB business/lifestyle pages are a paper thin veneer.

They all hide the truth. We used to laugh about it, and I feel awful, when we sat up at midnight, still working, telling people it only needs 5 hours per week.
If we told the truth it would be expect to only get 5 hours of sleep a week.

Having read some of the stuff on FB can someone explain what Barnbot is being accused of? Is it buying up stock to get her bonus?
It seems from the screen shot on TV that she's then offering this to people as freebies. Wouldn't that leave her out of pocket?

There's lots of evidence of her bullying people too. I do hope she comes back to tell us what's going on

That's not barnbot. That's Top Bot.
What she is doing is buying her bonus. You cannot offer incentives to join the business. They are offering C9s to people.
They are also giving 45% discount, again against company policy.
She is placing orders through other peoples accounts in order to push up their manager leg to get the next level up of bonus. So bonus buying.
How can other people compete when she is giving away free things?

Have I got my bot's mixed up?

Wow it's all so complicated

I dont think this particular issue involves Barnbot to be fair dothemlm, unless I am misunderstanding you.
