I can only aspire to the professionalism of castle, yawn et al.
If I do still have my tax job which I was offered in Feb (fingers crossed), I will remember to use Facebook to be passive aggressive to other colleagues and even clients maybe.

Please don't stop though bots. It gives us a bloody good laugh during lockdown.

Also very tempted to join both groups. Especially to learn face massages as pointed out by pp above. Might as well all go around touching faces and spreading this virus further.

If Yawn has an online island and Castle has a virtual village, what should we have?

Digital dungeon?
Cyber shoebox?

BSintolerant · 30/03/2020 07:40

I suspect cult experts may say that Yawn Island and the Village of the Dumbed are both ways of exerting mind control over wavering bots.

A lot of bots will feel obliged and beholden to their upline, not to mention guilty about leaving an MLM if their upline is seen to be being nice to them by providing what appears to be a supportive place in a time where some will be feeling vulnerable and isolated. Getting their downlines (like nurse) to do online sessions is a cynical way of making them feel valued and special. It also keeps them busy - they don’t want people to spend time thinking for themselves.

Yawn and Castle are not supporting anyone but themselves. They’re frightened and are doing everything they can to make sure that their minions keep lining their pockets in these uncertain times. These predators are doing all they can to stop their downlines leaving, especially now that many of them will have more time on their hands to think about what they’ve been doing with their precious time on this earth and how short and fragile life is. They may conclude that selling expensive products that nobody wants to buy isn’t a very good use of their lives, especially when they’re not making any money out of it.

Spongebobette · 30/03/2020 08:40

There is ZERO altruism in any action these top bots take

BSintolerant · 30/03/2020 08:57

Exactly - they’re predators.

CompleteBarstool · 30/03/2020 09:20

There's obviously a story behind Yawn and Castle, as it doesn't sound like this is the first run-in they've had.

Catle's Mum has even joined in and has posted "It’s always the poison Ivy’s that do it hahaha".
(another great Bot name for Yawn there actually Grin)

Bluewavescrashing · 30/03/2020 09:22

Is this exchange happening on Castle's fb? Does anyone have a screenshot? I need entertaining.

BSintolerant · 30/03/2020 10:05

It’s on Castle’s FB - not her Global business page. Why Castle is in high dudgeon because Yawn has copied her genius idea defeats me. As Lanzabot says, MLM is a “monkey see, monkey do” business. Grin They’re a bunch of dolts.

MontanaSkies · 30/03/2020 10:29

The thing is, there's such a wealth of experts doing free classes online at the moment in just about any subject. Why would anyone choose to join an amateurish "virtual village"?

Whiterangey · 30/03/2020 10:34

Yawn's has just added her hashtag island on to the end of her aloe lounge group. They have 92 members.

thetemptationofchocolate · 30/03/2020 10:42

If we had an online place it would have to be down a mine as here we look at the seamy underbelly of MLMs :)

Norma27 · 30/03/2020 10:42

Has castle deleted her post now? Ha ha!

Whiterangey · 30/03/2020 10:44

Nope, it's still there.

To be fair to Yawn's 92 members, I'm guessing Castle bought 10,000 members.

This is the entertainment we need.

Norma27 · 30/03/2020 10:53

That's weird. If I look at her profile I can't see it. If I put her name in the search it comes up as a recent post.
Castle buying members? Surely not. They would not try to con people surely!

Maydayredalert · 30/03/2020 11:01

I would feel a bit sorry for yawn if I didn't know how manipulative and predatory she is.

The thing I don't think they seem to grasp, is that they live in different areas and surely must have different followers (I'm reluctant to say friends as I'm sure they are all fellow huns, or prospective ones). Surely there is room for both. Castles seems to be about getting drunk (I fear for the hobs) and didn't some of her speakers not turn up? The ifa for one.

Is it just me or does it look like it was just yawn watching her lesson this morning?

fromdownwest · 30/03/2020 11:01

The village is full of people kissing Castles a**. She must be in heaven.

The actual content is god awful. Help for small business is have goals, do your gratitudes, dream big, ignore haters.

The usual inane waffle if someone who knows nothing about business.

One post about the self employed HMRC help, has one post. A post about gratitude has over 80 comments.

The contributors are other vacuous business coaches etc.

No solid content.

Maydayredalert · 30/03/2020 11:02

If ever we needed proof that it is full of bitchiness and playground bullying though, this is it. Definitely NOT an indication of professional businesswomen.

Maydayredalert · 30/03/2020 11:09

Is there history of bad blood between Yawn and Castle? And are they in the same upline/team?

Spongebobette · 30/03/2020 11:11

so weird, all of Yawn's minions are posting about 'my' online island as though it's their idea?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 30/03/2020 11:37

Yawn was definitely the only one on the plaiting video...

Spongebobette · 30/03/2020 11:52

I suppose this is one way of them getting their narcissistic supply while they can’t be fêted on stage

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 30/03/2020 12:13

Did everyone see that the Online Global Rally has been brought forwards? Only a couple of weeks to go...

Jigsawpuzzle · 30/03/2020 12:38

So Yawn never takes time for herself, LOL 😂 So the Nailz/Browz/Hairz must be a mirage from her Island 🌴

Bluewavescrashing · 30/03/2020 12:50

It’s on Castle’s FB - not her Global business page.

I'm blocked... Please can someone show me what's going on?

Suspected COVID-19 and feeling sorry for myself... There's some emotional blackmail for you hunz xx xx
