And in no way is it a level playing field, you see some mlm managers working their arse off, doing everything their upline tells them to do and not really getting anywhere.
What we've discovered is, that their 'earned' wealth might've come from somewhere else other than the mlm - perhaps an already independently wealthy family, a husband with a proper career or others raid inheritances.
They do a lot of things 'for show' rent big houses, lease big cars, get their hair done all the time. But if you follow them for a while, you'll notice they don't seem to go on any proper holidays or have much time off with the phone off. They have to keep recruiting, its a never ending game of keepy uppy, they are always at work.
The top bots, the ones who are done up to the nines and attractive seem to be able to do things that the downline is told they are not, selling on ebay and amazon on the sly, paying people off so they can take their downline, harassing the downline to buy stock so they can hit targets, no end of practises that the downline would get deactivated for. But if the downline blows the whistle, its they who get deactivated, not the top bots. Because the top bots are there for pr purposes, to break down in tears on stage, to look fabulous and advertise that lifestyle, lure new blood into the scam, if they got deactivated, imagine how bad that would look to the downline, it would show the scam up for what it was. So those who do complain discover that the mlm either does nothing or they end up getting into trouble. Let's face it, if you want fairness and ethics, you are not going to find it in an mlm. If you want to complain go to trading standards or the advertising standards authority, so many bots break the fraud act, the cancer act to name just two laws.
