Every friend has let me back in their good books.
I still have friends that are in mlm, they believe they're doing good because they're earning money but really little thought for how they're making it and at what cost to downlines. A few of these are nice people in a conversation not related to MLM but when it comes to MLM they don't see the flaw and it'll always be the fault of the downline not working it hard enough.
I was in at the height of the FOREVER cheques and watched it decline. People that have joined any MLM in the last three years won't understand how it changed so quickly. When I started, money was everywhere, posts about new starters in teams sprawled across Facebook, everyday you'd see promotions in all the MLMs because it was new (I'd honestly never heard of it MLM when I joined, I thought it was a legit thing) but I do mean DAILY.
It doesn't happen anymore, in fact we see evidence that the monies dropping, the weird desperate old posts been reshared to show people what they once achieved but acting like it's still like that. I feel bad for the newer bots sounding off about people who quit are angry failures when they have no idea how it's changed because they look like fools.
They can be quite clever with promotions now, because everyone starts the month back at zero they'll share promotions they hit over the following month again to make it look like people are still climbing when in fact they're just chasing last months dream. I know, because I did it and had people join me off the back of it.
