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

Re a comment upthread about bots migrating to Insta from FB; I believe that FB is not used much by the younger generation do this might be an attempt to capture a different demographic
Also easier for them to hide the fact that there are in an MLM

Is Doc bot off Instagram?

@BSintolerant - orchidectomies all round!

@Twentytwentyhindsight Grin

“I had an orchidectomy. After I did a C9 and rubbed aloe gelly into my nether regions for 69 days not one testicle grew back: two grew back! I now have three testicles! I’m going to cut one off and send it to my husband, Mr Yawn, for Easter!” #askmehow #soblessed #superexcited #threeforthepriceofoneC9

Sorry, I missed #allthegearandnoidea

Spongebobette · 18/01/2020 09:20

does anyone else go running in a full face of makeup?

Spongebobette · 18/01/2020 09:25

….and I am beginning to think that Bruv is a bit of a narcissist

Norma27 · 18/01/2020 09:44

If I go running/gym/Swimming then I wear no make up. Really don't understand putting on a full face for it. Unless you don't do enough to sweat.
Also find it really weird to then spend the day in stinky gym clothes. Especially when having meetings in them. Bloody bizarre.

Bruv is definitely a narcissist. He thinks he is so hilarious, but he is so boring. Those stupid bloody pranks he does would drive me insane.

Gotmychocolateimgood · 18/01/2020 10:15

Bruv doesn't even have any funny or clever pranks, just jumping out at people. Boo. My DS does it and thinks it's hilarious but he's 6!

Nu Skin have lost their poster girl bot for a second time it seems. She announced earlier today that she is now affiliated with Hempworx. She was the first UK bot to reach the rank of Team Elite a couple of years ago and had already departed previously to Doterra for several months after a falling out with her uplines. She returned to the fold last year but clearly things haven't gone to plan. Further proof that Nu Skin's fall from grace in the UK is gathering pace and affecting the top of the pile bots too.

Maydayredalert · 18/01/2020 16:43

Does Yawn always mean to be so patronising? Firstly telling us all to look on fb marketplace for things we might want to buy. GEE THANKS! Now explaining what macros are to us. Anything to take her mind off that WHOPPING great directors loan.

I don't know much about directors loans but I thought they HAD to be paid back at the of each financial year? Or can you just keep taking the same amount without physically paying it back.

Honestly though, what business would actually have thed nerve to brag about being so successful while simultaneously owing that much money. Baffling.

Jigsawpuzzle · 18/01/2020 17:02

Yawn -roping in lovely ladies and the running malarkey (pinch of salt)

Gotmychocolateimgood · 18/01/2020 17:50

Thanks Nurse for showing us your toilet (starting potty training).

I do feel sorry for her as she has a broken boiler at the moment and her house is freezing, however she does seem very worried about using electric heaters for the weekend and is stuck indoors. I think she's really hard up.

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 18/01/2020 17:55

The capsules Broke is flogging on Facebook look absolutely legit 🙄

Norma27 · 18/01/2020 18:01

Yawn can see how she is making nurse financially desperate but does not care as she is a selfish bitch.
I really cannot wait until her diamond empire collapses and she is left with nothing.

GoldenKelpie · 18/01/2020 18:04

Gotmy good grief, the sooner she gets out of this awful, insidious MLM the better. Hope she sees the light soon.

On another note, any travel agents here Grin? I've started a thread asking a question about a holiday I booked today "Any Travel Agents around? What are my rights in this situation?" Would be eternally grateful Flowers.

Right, back to business. I received a text today from AVON

"Avon is recruiting. Reply with your NAME and EMAIL to see how much you could earn. Existing reps please don't reply! 18+ only, Reply STOP to unsubscribe."

Oh dear, any 'existing reps' will not be happy that many women will be able to set up their business in an area already being utilised by an Avon rep. I thought that Avon reps had patches; areas where they reigned and no other reps would canvas? They made little enough as it was, now it will be even worse. Any Avon reps reading these threads care to give us their experience? Thanks.

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 18/01/2020 18:09

I'm always getting those Avon texts. God knows where they got my number.

Spongebobette · 18/01/2020 18:10

Nurse has an Avon catalogue on her kitchen table

Gotmychocolateimgood · 18/01/2020 18:27

I wonder if she's planning to jump ship.

Whiterangey · 18/01/2020 18:29

Electric heaters are very expensive to run. Luckily she's renting so doesn't have to pay for the boiler.

Yawn sucks

JasperRising · 18/01/2020 19:03

Not an MLM but this article shows the dangers of unregulated industries that operate cult like training and the tragedies that arise when people go into debt chasing a promised financial dream

Jigsawpuzzle · 18/01/2020 19:15

No sympathy for Nurse ,if she didn’t spend on gloop then she could have her heating on. Didn’t she have some issue with LL recently?

Whiterangey · 18/01/2020 19:29

That is a very sad story. I wouldn't be surprised if they're were deaths linked to MLM's.

Spongebobette · 18/01/2020 19:37

What an awful story

Sforsh49 · 18/01/2020 20:00

Is the 1:1 Diet (Cambridge Weight Loss) an MLM? Someone I know is a consultant and she's shared a "join my team" post which sounds a bit like one.....
