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

I'd love to be a fly in the wall in the #tatThatch when Yawn tries to justify a ££££ plane ticket to watch other people collect cheques to Mr Yawn 😂 especially considering the size of her debt!

Wow Dora that puts it into perspective! I wonder if Uber has any savings. I think Bloodsucker has.

Whiterangey · 25/01/2020 08:55

Wow! So the second top bot is down 75% in 4 years. Likely has to spend money just to get 5000.

I wonder if Castle made 5000 this year, and the others who did last year. They may not publish the levels of those going to Australia this year due to how bad they are.

@Gotmychocolateimgood I think she’s qualified to GO to Oz, flights and hotel paid for, it’s just the cheque she’s not qualified for

Of course FL extract their pound of flesh by making all the bots attend endless training events and the super long rally where cheques are oresented.. all indoors in a big arena with pounding music and non stop exhortations to be excited
The bots spend any other spare minute taking photos and doing lives so that they can show off to their minions on social media
My idea of hell

Uber will still get a very decent cheque due to having reached level 3. Everyone else will likely get yoga mat cheques, I hope Castle does, that would be awesome.

Spongebobette · 25/01/2020 09:25

‘Very decent’ but it’s a share of the company profits in the UK isn’t it? Or am I mistaken @DoraExplorer99
Because that is going to be less than last year

Does that mean that the creative accounting ship has sailed?
They aren’t getting much new blood as I think the word is now on the street and with the UC rollout their target audience are broke.
I have just given a single mum a load of children’s winter coats etc as they are not needed in Thailand 🇹🇭

fromdownwest · 25/01/2020 12:43

So what do you think each bot will get?

Enough to cover annual living expenses and pay HMRC?

Whiterangey · 25/01/2020 13:01

I imagine that only Uber and Bloodsucker are making enough to live on at this point. When times were good they all wasted money and got expensive mortgages thinking it will continue and get even better.

Hence the massive directors loans they have no hope of paying off.

Spongebobette · 25/01/2020 13:39

Nurse is claiming that she ‘coaches her team’ to work the business in ‘pockets of time’

What team would that be I wonder

Private school as well for two children.

Also the amount of product she has to buy to increase her cc's.

I can't stop thinking about all of those C9's of castles the Bruv filmed. That must have been at least £10k if not more.

fromdownwest · 25/01/2020 18:39

Surely this year, the music will stop and the house of cards will come tumbling down.

Falling cheques
Directors loans
Expensive life style
And an ever increasing anti MLM movement

SnoogyWoo · 25/01/2020 20:13

Wow big drop for Uber. Has Bloodsucker stayed at the top due to expanding overseas?

Spongebobette · 25/01/2020 20:14

Due to expanding overseas = exploiting vulnerable people on a different continent

nakedavengeragain · 25/01/2020 20:31

I asked on the FL group how they were 'raising funds' (per the news they were donating any funds raised from the Global Rally to the Aus RSPCA). The response:

"not sure of all the ways but you can be assured they will raise funds, this is a company that gets things done 💖"

Ha ha ha!!

Hmm not an enormous crowd at the Scottish Success Day....

Whiterangey · 25/01/2020 20:57

That is a small room and it's so empty.

Business is definitely not booming.

Whiterangey · 25/01/2020 20:59

They will still carry on for another couple of years. Some will downsize but they won't give up even when they lose everything, they will just wait for the next boom which we all know isn't going to happen.

Gotmychocolateimgood · 26/01/2020 04:54

Uber's got at least 4 kids hasn't she? Won't be cheap privately educating them all.

Bovneydazzlers · 26/01/2020 06:48

There is a good (American) anti MLM podcast series - sounds like MLM but okay.

One episode is called ‘invasion of the hunbots’. Did this thread get that reference from anti-MLM websites.... or did the Mumsnet anti MLM movement coin the phrase? (I thought it was the latter!)
