I hear you on that, @CurlsandCurves - my now-ex is definitely not stupid. Gullible, vulnerable to flattery and brainwashed into irrational thinking, perhaps...
If the aim is to convince people that they should leave an MLM, it certainly isn't helpful to call them 'stupid', as all it will do is reinforce the siege mentality of 'me and my teamies against a hostile jealous world that doesn't want us to succeed' and they will double down (although, as we have discussed at some length in these threads, there is actually no approach that works to convince a full metal botted hun that they are wasting time, energy, relationships and money in pursuit of a mirage, except waiting for the penny to drop).
That being said, the video was aimed at warning Australians about what was coming their way, and giving them as much information as they needed to avoid it like the plague. In that context, and being forewarned , it would indeed be stupid to then go and join TS Life.
My feeling is that, while her approach may not be helpful in dealing with practicing huns, if it dissuades others from joining, then it is useful...

@ToBotOrNotToBot it’s called the BS of TS life, it’s her most recent one.

I’m probably going to waste my entire afternoon watching her other ones!

Yawn has posted lists of her top 30 for December and January, earning over 4cc at over £400 a month. It's a bit blurred on a screenshot but I'm pretty certain Nurse isn't listed......

I don't say this lightly but I believe Ms Sponlie is greatest asset to the Anti-MLM movement since the Elle Beau blog several years ago.

Her videos on the Network Ninja and now the Messiah are outstanding

I only hope she begins to reach a much wider audience over the coming months.

Earning 4CC = profit is over 400 a month?

But how many of those ‘sales’ were to themselves?

Re Yawns list see NoVowels page. No sign of Nurses invitation.

NoVowels is incredibly tragic. Absolutely no engagement on her posts, not even from other bots.

Mind you, Nurse is the same. Posts engagement messages (moving to coast or country in 2022, Hoover recommendations) and gets absolutely no interest.

Tragicomic

I can’t see Nurse or Novowels on that list

Garliccoriander · 11/02/2021 19:09

Random check. January list 3rd name down hardly any posts & no engagement.
Probably most of the names tell a similar story

Teddy1970 · 11/02/2021 19:38

No vowels posts are really amateurish, all filters and flashing stars, with her doing little wobble with her head on repeat, it's the sort of thing a 14 year old would post, not a serious business woman.

Spongebobette · 11/02/2021 19:52

None of them is a business woman

It’s all pretend

Bluewavescrashing · 11/02/2021 19:56

I definitely agree that a lot of the amazing trainings give the lowly bots busy tasks to do eg dream board, raffles, getting friends to review products, challenges eg posting every day for 10 days on a topic.

It keeps them distracted from the fact that they are losing money. They feel useful and busy. These activities most often gain them no sales, no recruits but the shrill cry of 'you must be consistent! You must work harder!' from their uplines keeps them going and gives them content to post about.

Spongebobette · 11/02/2021 20:00

Absolutely

Keeps them occupied so they don’t realise THERE IS NO ACTUAL BUSINESS

thetemptationofchocolate · 11/02/2021 20:04

The constant message coming down the line is that if you are not successful it is all your fault.
When it isn't. It's the dodgy 'business' model aka scam.

Also she posted that she was in that top 30 but unless I'm blind her name isn't actually on the list Confused
MLMsuperfan · 11/02/2021 22:10

No Vowels selling a "work from home" opportunity right now.. we're all working from home.

tired2021 · 11/02/2021 22:27

Can I have a clue for no vowels please guys?

Hunbot · 11/02/2021 22:34

Fab anti mlm on two chubby Cubs on facebook. They link back to Elle beau and the anti mlm threads. They have a massive following

YouokHun · 12/02/2021 01:13

@Hunbot yes that was excellent and loads of comments agreeing with their anti-MLM stance.

Wow no vowels is mega bottled isnt she. Zero engagement, nothing but business posts. Probably lost a lot of friends over this. Silly girl. Work from home is no longer the massive advantage of the business it once was btw - most of us work from home now and would love to go anywhere else

CodenameVillanelle · 12/02/2021 07:55

No vowels has posted screenshots one of a long list of orders and one of a shorter list with her name on. The shorter list is obviously stuff she's ordered for herself and comes to £61. Shocking that she's wasting so much and being encouraged to pretend that customers are ordering £££ worth from her.
