It’s funny I quite enjoyed Uber’s latest live as I knew her for most of what she was talking about! She does have a very boring voice to listen to tho!

Jigsawpuzzle · 02/05/2019 11:32

Yawn you are not advertising the latest Hollywood blockbuster with all that strategic placement. I know they still want your money 💴 but at least you have a choice and might enjoy the film.

The Facebook page "Hey it's Leigh Ann" does fantastic spoofs of MLM huns FB live videos, if you havent seen this it's really worth a watch as she totally nails it.

Jigsawpuzzle · 02/05/2019 12:29

Talk about life imitating art

SnoogyWoo · 02/05/2019 13:52

On the latest post Yawn is stood like she needs a poo!

EL2019 · 02/05/2019 14:25

Off to Sweden while kids are doing exams.

MLM ensures that you are there for your children unlike us callous wage slaves.

Her live in the gym cafe is so patronising. Hubby appears to nod along with everything she says. Ugh

WoodenToyKitchen · 02/05/2019 14:35

Urgh. Broke. He never learns

Norma27 · 02/05/2019 14:41

I think that live in the gym was the first time we have been allowed to hear mr yawn talk.
Amazing how much they have learnt doing the c9. Not like last time...or the time before that... or the time before that etc.
If he enjoys cooking these healthier meals during c9, why doesn’t he just carry on the rest of the time then?

It baffles me how these high up bots keep up this charade all the time. Taking advantage of people's good natures for little bits of money here and there. Constantly bigging themselves up on social media. Constantly living a false self for their social media presence. All in the name of keeping up their act so the house of cards doesn't tumble. All the time knowing that a lot of people (like us) don't buy it for one second.

It must be such a draining existence and so mentally exhausting.

There will become a point where it is no longer sustainable and it just burns them all out. But where will they be mentally when this happens?

I'd say they will be extremely troubled people and might find it hard to re-integrate themselves back into a normal lifestyle.

It's fascinating, dark and pretty screwed up the whole affair.

MontanaSkies · 02/05/2019 15:40

Has anyone read this article in the Guardian this week about New U Life?

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/may/01/a-miracle-healing-gel-a-cult-like-following-and-a-fiercely-protected-empire

I'd never heard of this one before, but it all sounds grimly familiar... Just can't wait for the crazed "gellers" to hit our shores Hmm

9dartfinish2nd · 02/05/2019 15:44

When you reach the higher echelons of an MLM, you have had to screw over so many people to get there, When the inevitable House of Cards moment comes along there will be very little sympathy for not just the FLP bots but all top MLM bots, Homes and cars will be lost/downsized and wait for the inevitable divorces to follow as pissed off partners who were "retired" suddenly are faced with having to rejoin the workforce to pay off crippling debts.....directors loans etc....

Can't empathise with any of these people at the top, once you have been in MLM for a certain period of time you know the reality of the industry for anyone coming in at the bottom and if you are prepared to carry on after that then they deserve everything when it comes crashing down.

Spongebobette · 02/05/2019 16:00

Blimey
It's like whack-a-mole with these dastardly MLMs, another one pops up when you're not looking

Remember when all the Forever Living huns were posting about the medical benefits of drinking aloe? Cures IBS, Fibromyalgia, arthritis, etc etc

They've tightened up on that (there's mention of it in the company annual statement on Companies House) so now those claims are rare and they've resorted to 'boost your immune system' 'stronger hair and nails' 'more energy' and other vague shit

Teddy1970 · 02/05/2019 16:09

So Yawn is making out she doesn't wear size 14/16 anymore? Yeah right! You do not drop three dress sizes in a matter of days...and she still looks size 16 to me, not that there's anything wrong with size 16, it's the size I am, but Yawn please stop bullshitting to try and flog more c9s!

Jigsawpuzzle · 02/05/2019 17:03

Do bots keep 2 bags of lotions /potions for when they do a home photo. I can imagine your upline or other bots popping in and you sweeping your (supermarket shampoo etc) into a bag and bringing out the goodies on show. Reminds me of those old films when aunt Ethel visiting so quick dust down that hideous vase.

MyCatHogsTheBed · 02/05/2019 17:11

Jigsaw, they're their own best customer don't forget, so their homes probably are full of "improved" overpriced tat.

gotmychocolateimgood · 02/05/2019 17:45

I think the 'be your own best customer' thing is also designed to send subliminal messages to the bot. Every time they wash their hands, take their supplements etc they see the Forever logo and it reinforces the brainwashing. Creepy.

Paddy1234 · 02/05/2019 20:05

I know people that were sucked into Amway - they got out close to 20 years ago and still have the damned product lying around to use up 😱

gotmychocolateimgood · 02/05/2019 20:29

Omg Paddy. Constant reminders all over the house... What a nightmare.

Paddy1234 · 02/05/2019 20:43

At least they didn't have Facebook memories to remind them though. The poor people now if they manage to get out will be reminded in years to come of both product lying around and also Facebook/Instagram!

danbarnes · 02/05/2019 20:57

Has anybody noticed that Ross from Friends got involved with Amway? Series 10 - The One With The Home Study. Phoebe is trying to decide how to spend her wedding fund and Ross suggests spending it on his Amway products. I think she declines then Ross complains he will never shift them.

SnoogyWoo · 02/05/2019 22:30

What’s happened to nurse bots live everyday for 14 days lol. Only lasted one day!

Spongebobette · 02/05/2019 22:33

Apparently eleventy billion new 4D mascaras have been sold by Younique in 30 seconds or some shit like that

Yeah I think you'll find the reps have bought them because THEY ARE THE CUSTOMER

Ladiva1971 · 02/05/2019 23:25

Just watched the BBC doc and found it absolutely amazing, however I do think that they could have focused more about how cultish like the industry is.
