Nicely done, thank you BS.

Spongebobette · 22/05/2019 18:46

Thanks for the new thread @BSIntolerant

Welcome to anyone new! We are here to inform you about the lies told to hook you in to multi level marketing, particularly the lifestyle and income claims by the top ‘bots’
(Bots is what we call people who have become brainwashed and do constant positive Facebook posts, trying to use ‘attraction marketing’ to persuade you to join their ‘team’)

Making up for the deafening silence coming from most of our favourite FLP bots @fitgirl26!

On fire - just like certain bots’ pants. Unless they’re LuLaRoe which have too many holes in them to catch fire.

Speaking of heat, I wonder if The Lord of the Rings is at home polishing his hob? Grin Well, he’s from a crazy family you know!

The Silence of the Bots would make a wonderful film.

“I ate my upline with some Supergreens and a nice C9.”

Would the MLM remake still include Clarice Starling or should it be a new character called Claireeeek Pigeon? Dr Hunnibullshit Lecher could be a psychopathic mindset coach who brainwashes negative people to death and covers the roof of his house with their skin.

But I digress ... Do you think our bots have gone quiet hoping it will foil our MLM Law of Reaction theory? Grin

I think it has to be absolute torture for the bots that we know, to have made their accounts private or in other cases pretend that the GR2019 never existed, especially for the likes of Yawn, that has to post every thing she does on FB and Insta. Do you think the likes of her and Castle will be present at the GR2020 in Australia? I doubt it, a 2 night trip to Europe is cool but to the other side of the world?? That is bloody madness.

Uber posted about the sunscreen that it’s reef friendly. However if you look it up it has ingredients that aren’t considered reef friendly.

Place making!

That doesn't surprise me she is making claims about the sunscreen. £18 for a sunscreen is not going to sell a lot of sunscreen.

I'm guessing they are marketing it as good for people with eczema as well. I've never found one that doesn't irritate my sons skin. He always just makes sure his skin is covered with clothes in the sun.

We focus on forever living here but all of the MLM's are having tough times. What I found really eye opening was finding out how little the black presenters in younique earn.

There is a UK black presenter who does life's from her car while picking her husband up after he finishes his shift. Not only can't she afford to retire her husband, but they only have one car.

If the blacks are at the top of the pyramid and some months not breaking even, nobody else is making money. Except for the CEO of Younique, or Jesus, I always get those two mixed up.

I've just been on the Childs Farm website as that's the sun cream I use for my son, as its recommended for children with eczema, and they say that the star rating was developed by boots and isn't a European requirement at all!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 23/05/2019 08:29

The EU-required labelling is the SPF factor.
There may also be a UVA star rating- this gives the ratio of UVA to UBB protection.

PT bot is having a shocker. Three of his biggest names have recently upped and left and moved to Revital U, TSL and Ariiiix.

Lots of passive aggressive lives about it not being a 'hobby' etc

So PHD can’t sell socks (useful to a large part of the worlds population), but would rather sell irrelevant stuff.
Still no mention of boyfriend/wedding plans.
