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.

The bot being referred to, is 'actually' middle aged, not "almost" 😉😉

Best to keep your eye on the system rather than individuals?

Not really Cozie.... Because IMHO you have to know the players to understand the game.

A game without any players is no game at all... 😉

I've got confused haven't I
Easily done

Still I'm sure Barnbot could explain the skullduggery going on. I'm fascinated

Today I spotted a FL stall at a food festival. The bot was very tired looking and extolling the virtues of drinking goop. She had a stack of business cards with her name and 'worldwide recruiter and business coach ' on them. It sounds so poncy!

The internet is connected worldwide. I guess an adherent who uses it could call themselves 'worldwide' or 'global' if they wanted to add that to something. It means nothing in itself.

Top Bot's video on her FB page says she has an accelerated business plan that will help me teach the top even quicker than she did. I am sooooo tempted. Particularly when reading that she feels incredibly guilty when she doesn't have time to put her children to bed.

Way, way back natashabarnbotshingles was very keen to point out that she and her team did not indulge in the cc shuffle and she did not recruit people she though couldn't hack it. After reading the screenshots this afternoon and considering her CB bonus cheque I now believe her!!

There is no way to win with this system unless you cheat. And the scarey thing is you still don't win - only the MLM CEOS - mostly men, mostly white, mostly fundamentalist - do.

On a positive note I put my laundry next to the laptop screen and the never ending waves of irony contained in the cyber-bullying accusations and supportive comments have made it super wrinkle free.

Ok so help me out here...

In order to get the big bonuses it is possible to buy lots of product, then give it away or at 45% off as some sort of enticement to get others on board

So you end up with a big bonus but you have f*cked others because you have cheated and they can't compete because you have been undercutting them?

Is that it?

Sorry to be a bit slow but this CC thing is bewildering

I think that's it Sponge

We need someone to explain it again if that's not it. If you're at the top, you need a certain amount don't you, so if you had to buy a few hundred quids worth of gloop to make your bonus cheque, you'd do it wouldn't you

Forever Fluffing's training videos always go on and on about the importance of being your own best customer, so it's not surprising that all this CC carouselling goes on behind the scenes.

Smoke and mirrors, fur coat no knickers, house of cards ...

That sounds like what is happening sponge again, its like nailing down fog!

Thanks for the link to the article I mentioned earlier.

I am v interested to see what other screenshots come out over the next few weeks.

I think other top bots will either be:

A) Nervous that they will be exposed themselves

B) or angry that they their competition hasn't been playing fairly.

It would be serious Doublethink to imagine that the MLM world might be a 'fair' one. You just need to look at the churn rate and think to yourself how many stories of devastation that represents.

And to remind you.

...Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously and accepting both of them.....

Just back from Lanzarote ,home of aloe vera.Saw this van,I think it would be great for the bots,instead of the white Land Rovers😜 I was half expecting 20 bots to open the door and come runing after me with a clipboard and try to recruit me and try and get my cash, as I cycled by, so I could be part of their "International team". I was thinking of the vengaboys song "the venga bus"- The aloe vera bus is coming ,and everybody's jumping,New York to Lanzarote ,we'll try n' recruit ur granny, my team it keeps expanding"

Strewth. A Museum??

Yip,an aloevera museum didnt go in,(incase there was bots trying to recruit me

Wow... Well that has to be up there on my bucket list, see northern lights, go whale watching, drive the pacific coast highway, visit the aloe museum etc...

The banality of that experience wiuld actually scar me for life potentially! 😂

Those vans though! 😂😂😂

I know don't you just love the van,wouldnt a Hiace be way more better than a white Land Rover , we could duck for cover when we see it coming

My goodness the visitor posts on Timeless Vie Haha!!!!!!! The girl with the dark hair posting check out her FB page it's full of comments about flp and bullying and other people ready to speak out!!!
