Still going strong here at bot watch HQ on MN!

Previous thread here

Botwatch on Wordpress and on Facebook

Timeless Vie on Wordpress and on Facebook

Eyespeying's Blog aka #manhun, even if he's been banned by MNHQ

Hommetepreneur on Facebook

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.

Im going to be awake all night wondering who I'm working for... 😱😱😱

cozietoesie · 23/05/2016 00:31

I'll believe it when I see it. She's been contemplating that drink for a long time now. Grin

DoTheMLMHustle · 23/05/2016 00:31

Waitrose do Yarzô which is five times the price but made from the INSIDES of a unicorn eyelash. It's very special

MrshumbleJeans · 23/05/2016 00:32

truthful dont forget to put some stabilisers on it!

MrshumbleJeans · 23/05/2016 00:33

But is it stabilised 'unicorn eyelash'? dont wanna go drinking any old Unicorn lashes...

TruthfulTara88 · 23/05/2016 00:35

Gonna be up during the night with the squits. Keeps me young.

MrshumbleJeans · 23/05/2016 00:36

Thats ok truthful, just take some aloe!.... Oh.

DoTheMLMHustle · 23/05/2016 00:36

It's got very special magical powers that you must just believe in. It's almost like you don't want to work 22 hours a day for it

MrshumbleJeans · 23/05/2016 00:37

I believe dothemlm you say its true, so it is.

worcestersauce29 · 23/05/2016 00:38

truthful a couple of years ago I had an amazing 'aloe' massage.......difference being the leaf was split in front of me, no added anything ;) 30mins massage...........$5 .I've nothing against aloe (after all I don't know them ;) ) just against unethical MLM's using it as a tool in their smoke and mirrors crap

MrshumbleJeans · 23/05/2016 00:47

So, still no answers to the tough questions then... Eh barnbot?

worcestersauce29 · 23/05/2016 00:51

the thing is humble they aren't difficult questions if you are an honest and truthful person with nothing to hide....that might be why there are no answers

BSintolerant · 23/05/2016 00:54

All wind and no piss MrsH.

TruthfulTara88 · 23/05/2016 00:56

Worcester Yeah. I have no doubt aloe is good for the skin. We have a plant at home that my mum would put on cuts and would help dry skin. But drinking it though... Confused

DoTheMLMHustle · 23/05/2016 00:58

For a moment there I was distracted by talk of being sponsored by aliens, and some trolls popping up, butimback in the room

gottaloveascamhun · 23/05/2016 06:07

Reading barnbot's blog. Hilarious. Network marketing professional??? Er no, try going to university for four years, that makes you a professional. The entire concept is ridiculous.

gottaloveascamhun · 23/05/2016 06:30

I should add, I have every respect for people working hard to start their own business and succeeding. You don't need a degree to be successful. But MLM is not owning your own business. I own my own small business and had a laugh choosing my title on my Facebook page... director, owner, president, manager... I won't be promoting myself from assistant supervisor to manager in a week's time because I'm already at the top of my little empire!

ForeverYazoonique · 23/05/2016 06:31

I think I put my position as "sitting down" gotta Grin

BSintolerant · 23/05/2016 06:37

gotta hear hear!

The hierarchy in Forever Living makes me laugh. How much supervision does a box of aloe shite actually need for fuck's sake?

Business in a box? Like hell it is.

FayKorgasm · 23/05/2016 06:48

I have inside links to Asda. Wink
I also have the keys and stuff. And a staff number.

You know whats great tojoin Natasha and bot ? Going home from work.

ForeverYazoonique · 23/05/2016 06:53

Cozie I am somewhat regretting my rashness re drinking the Yazoo. Maybe I'll get a child to drink it (one of mine obviously, not a random one on the street).

MrshumbleJeans · 23/05/2016 08:25

Morning all.....
