MLM Botwatch 56 - New Year, New Thread

[Jasmin82]

Bot-watching into 2020. Hoping it's a good year for all (and the end of MLMs - Hey, a girl can dream!)

Here’s a good summary of how to make a dog’s breakfast out of being a crap director:

Castle and Uber seem to have a lot of downlines I. The United Arab Emirates. Is this because women are traditionally discouraged from working once married? Perhaps they are missing out in the social interaction and status from employment and that's their weak spot from a recruitment point of view?

BBL has posted that she is selling her home and buying a trailer again, saving £200K in the process. I wonder why?!

@Bluewavescrashing

I have lived in the UAE and FL is very popular out there. You have lots of women (both local and expat) with time on their hands and lots of ready cash. You spend a lot of time at get-togethers/playdates/coffees where the mlm model is ideal, and it certainly doesn't have any of the stigma that mlm has here. For expats, most women can't actually work because of visa restrictions (I was one of them).

Ah that makes sense.

Anyone who does MLM in the UAE and ends up in debt could get into serious trouble couldn’t they?

When did nurse start with FL? Is one of her downlines a bigger success than her?

Romeo's partner. Gave up her corp career according to Nurse's stories on FB.

None of nurse's 'meet the team' are her downline. She doesn't have one. They are other people in yawn's downline. Seems this is the amazing new strategy yawn came up with to 'increase her confidence in the bizniz'

Anyone feeling mischievous? 😈 Let’s have a little play with invoking the Law of Reaction!

Yawn and her ilk wouldn’t dare recruit the Duke and Duchess of Sussex now that they’re stepping back from senior royal duties and will have more nooks and crannies of spare time to play with as a result.

Yawn would probably not have come up with this strategy herself. I'd imagine it's the same in most MLMs, these things come down from the top of the pyramid-shaped object.
In the days before the internet the phone conversation would go: Downline to Upline "I've been asked this question and I don't know how to respond to it" (you can count on it being a negative-to-the-bizniz sort of question). The Upline would say "Good question, I'll have a think and get back to you". The question would then be passed up the line until it got to someone who knew a smart answer, which would then be passed down the line again.
I expect it's a quicker turnaround now, with texting & all, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's not how it still works.
Ideas for new tactics would come from training & be passed down in the same way.
There's not much original thought in MLM.

Yawn's C9 daily calorie intake is 1250 calories. If she's lost 10lb (ha) in two days on that level of intake, what on earth had she been eating before?!

Yawn probably burns 2400 a day just by existing. To cut her calorie intake by that much means she will have lost 1-2 lbs of fat so far. The rest is all literally water.

Water? I think she’s full of shit and hot air.

You can't lose that much by eating absolutely nothing.

She's a big girl, but not so big that she could lose anywhere near that much on that amount of calories.

Extreme dieting quickly depletes glycogen stores, up to 5lbs a day. However these stores need to be replaced - this will be slower than the original loss but it's not fat!

I did the c9 when I started.

Lost 9lbs put on 12 within the month

Sounds familiar @hunzuncovered. When my OH did her twice yearly C9, the kids & I were walking on eggshells.

The weight rebound was also pretty much as you describe. She would always weigh more before each C9 than before the last, so the effect was progressive longer term weight gain.

All of the bots I watch, forever, juice plus, the coffee scams, they are all absolutely obsessed with their weight, it rules their life. I wonder if they think about the impact on their kids as they will grow up thinking the body obsession is normal. They give the message the thinner you are the better person you are and it is so worrying.

Yes and food is BAD

shakes and pills and gloop are GOOD

What is the obsession with getting up early and constant lying.

One high up boy has posted about getting up early and cleaning her kitchen before school run. Shame the clock says 11:30 and the light outside is clearly not am lighting.

It’s so odd, why lie about such a silly thing? Do you think they lose all rational thought ?

The only change in your life when you are thinner is that you are thinner.

You don't even feel different in your body.

I fully understand that being severely overweight can have an impact on your health, if you want to lose weight then do it sensibly.

Stupid fad diet bullshit shitey wank quick fixes don't work.
