Good grief

stockpilingallthecheese · 06/02/2021 18:23

It's so embarrassing, do they think people don't notice?? Yawn just creates all these posts which you can tell from the excessive use of commas Grin you'd think they would also not post the same exact garbage post at the exact same time Confused at least Yawn is kind of good at social media. Nurse and no vowels are bloody horrific

stockpilingallthecheese · 06/02/2021 18:24

@CodenameVillanelle

The difference between the posts that vowelbot posts herself and the ones fed by yawn are so stark that her friends must be WTF Hmm
Spellcheck would be a start wouldn't it, she's pretty much illiterate!

It makes me smile to see these other threads and read posts from MNers (who I don't recognise from here) who are quick to pick up on MLMs and their exploitative, scamming fake approach.

It's all evidence that everyone's eyes are being opened.

BSintolerant · 06/02/2021 20:21

It gives us all hope. Grin

What's going on with Messiah?

Just looked at his fb page for the first time in ages and there has only been 2 posts so far this year Hmm

BSintolerant · 06/02/2021 23:14

If Messiah is still involved with all the Covid conspiracy theory nonsense He might be occupied with that.

YouokHun · 06/02/2021 23:29

Messiah is busying himself with the launch of Totally Shite down under. He tends to leave the antivax stuff to Mrs M these days. I would truly love to know what he’s up to. It’s surely got to catch up with him soon?

Top Welsh Younique bot has tonight surpassed herself with an astounding display of cultural appropriation. Wow.

JaniceBattersby · 06/02/2021 23:49

What in the name of pyramid schemes is The Freedom Movement? A school mum whose hobby is MLM-hopping joined up a few weeks ago and her page is full of ‘booked my seat on this rocket getting ready to launch’ and ‘get into this binary early’, and apparently her team is ‘already number two in the world’ just four weeks after launch.

Yet I’m still to see a single product that they’re selling. It looks just like your classic pyramid scheme to me.

SSDGM · 07/02/2021 00:04

I thought originally it was FM, but after a quick mooch around it’s Jeunesse. .

Hi. Does anyone know anything about FTMO, the forex currency traders. Is it an MLM? My DSS has just quit his job to work at this full time and it's sounds highly suspicious but I can't find much about it anywhere. TIA.

@Spongebobette

What do you think that bots think when they obediently go through the lifestyle/ product recommendation/ recruitment/ ask questions for engagement/ share meme cycle of posting and never get any likes or replies?
I've wondered that, Sponge. Despondent, frustrated, perhaps with an urge to post passive aggressive "I know who my real friends are" type posts.

Desperate (end of the month and still bereft of enough CCs).

Confused, particularly when all their non-MLM posts get loads of likes and comments from their friends and family.

Their upline is ready and primed with the culty formula to reel them back in and allaying their fears and doubts, and further culty success days and 'training' seals their fate for another week or month...

Urgh, such a hateful, damaging business model!

BSintolerant · 07/02/2021 13:35

@passthetequila I’m not sure if there’s an MLM element to Forex, but Forex is very risky. I remember watching a documentary a while ago where a number of women lost their life savings when they got lured into Forex. If it sounds too good to be true ...

The recruitment tactics are similar to MLM in the way that they would have so-called business presentations in low budget hotels as a way to trap the unwary.

Top Welsh Younique bot has tonight surpassed herself with an astounding display of cultural appropriation. Wow.

The comments on that were great but sadly disappeared very quickly.

Other than the fact it was a shitty make up job, the fact that she can't tell Japan and China apart says a lot about her level of ignorance.

@BSintolerant thanks for the link and info. I will do some more digging then just have to work out how to broach the subject with DH/DSS without upsetting anyone!

BSintolerant · 07/02/2021 17:59

I see the #Wibble Movement are having great fun mocking Wig and Sleaze’s FAFTA Airlines. Grin

Yawns thatch needs a new ridge, some repairs and a clean....

£17,000

Bet those mushrooms that were so cute a few months back aren't so cute now!

BSintolerant · 07/02/2021 20:18

You’d think £17k would be a drop in the ocean when you’re earning eleventy squillion billion pounds a month from your super successful downline’s sales.

CompleteBarstool · 07/02/2021 20:19

I'm surprised that she's not sending Mr Yawn up there on his infamous step-ladder to hack away at it and do a botch job that she can then French Chic to within an inch of it's life to much acclaim from her minions.

BSintolerant · 07/02/2021 20:28

She could clamber up there herself and decorate the mushrooms with gold leaf.Grin

I love listed cottages but not way on earth would I buy one. The running costs and maintenance are more, and if you don't keep on top of them the later repair costs just snowball. Don't fix the roof and next thing you know you have damp in the roof timbers and the you are having to replace rotting wood. And a house that still looks cute on the outside can be a money pit when you start looking at the structure. Think I'll keep admiring other people's chocolate box houses!!
CompleteBarstool · 07/02/2021 21:04

Let's hope that the external render is in good nick (speaking as someone who has just had a quote for the re-render of a detached house Shock ) or she'll be downing the paint brushes and flogging her aloe shite and desperately recruiting 24/7
