Chimps refused to respond to me because I think I called her a scammy cunt or something. I can't find her on FB anymore but she used to have a profile pic of her in full leathers sitting on a bright green motorbike. Short brown hair. I think she had links to Lanza?

Chimps used chimp related names because of the book The Chimp Paradox. She seemed to think we were the brainwashed ones.

She was one of Lanza’s managers. She’s still on FB and is a self described coach who has set up a vanity publishing business with other ex bots. I think Roomie was one of those who was in on it.

Oh what a dreadful, exploitative lying lot they are

fadethegrey · 11/07/2021 13:22

A lot of the top bots seem to have removed all the "boast" posts from their social media, and thinned down their successes - and where they earn their money from. Only Yawn is constantly pitching what she does - but tries it from an angle of wholesomeness!

The "look at me - what a star I am!" drivel for some doesn't now produce the scores of recruits it used to, and it's funny because back in the day - the monkey see - monkey do approach was all about blitzing stuff all over your profiles.

Now when you look - no reference at all, watered down me and my family life on show. The message is getting clearer for some.

Spongebobette · 11/07/2021 13:48

Yes it’s certainly interesting that the messaging has changed
The posts with designer handbags and laptops next to a pool were non stop at one point and were presumably effective in convincing new recruits they could achieve that too

CompleteBarstool · 11/07/2021 16:15

Yawn's always banging on about the C9 resetting your eating habits, getting rid of a bad diet and having a fresh start of healthy eating ....yet she's just eaten so many of her children's sweets that she feels sick.

That worked then.

BSintolerant · 11/07/2021 18:14

It depends how you look at this resetting your eating habits nonsense. In Yawn’s case all those C9s have done the job: she’s back to square one!

She’s have more chance of curing a cold with a carbolic smoke ball.

So wig and sleaze appear to have bought and moved into a house in 2 days lol

They're squatting aren't they?!
CompleteBarstool · 11/07/2021 22:58

Now, now don't be cynical.

They clearly paid with those suitcases full of cash that they've been carrying around with them for the last couple of years whilst sofa surfing.

spanfan · 11/07/2021 23:22

They've got an air b&b for the weekend or it's one of those dodgy hotels

What a load of cobblers

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 11/07/2021 23:27

I love the fact that they used a photo with watermarks all over it

PieonaBarm · 12/07/2021 01:00

It's a stock photo from a site called Alamy, €9.99 to download without the watermark for personal use. Not even used their crypto billions to remove the watermark.

Got to love Google Image Reverse search.

ArbunneHun · 12/07/2021 06:32

Coming back to Chimps for a moment… I have it on fairly good authority that Chimps is/was a man. Husband/partner of one of the bots we observe (not an A-list bot, probably B or C-list). He was pretty proud of his dive-bombing of the thread, jumping on to start a bit of fighting & confusion. He used to boast about it at FLP events.

This particular relationship is over. They separated some time ago. The big rented house is gone, she now lives in a small terrace and made out that the move was because she really wanted to be closer to the town centre.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/07/2021 06:39

@ArbunneHun do you mean Yawn's BFF's ex?

ArbunneHun · 12/07/2021 06:42

Also - anyone remember the Femalepreneurs? One was ex-NuSkin (or Arbonne?), one was prominent in the glory(?) days of Valentus. Both spotted that they could make money from “coaching” and set up a training business/started writing books. I just had an ad for their Spiritual Life Coaching Academy Diploma. For just £3,555 (discounted from £5,555) you can be trained by them to become a trainer yourself and set yourself up to earn 6 figures! Yes really! You’ll be able to tackle the anxiety and “overwhelm” that’s holding you back from those “dreamy 10k months”. They’ll teach you to be spiritual business coaches just like them!

Sign me up, hun!

(How is this bollocks legal????)

Yawn is boasting about how she's grown her Insta account "organically" by 2000 followers recently because she's really learnt how to use it.

A quick scroll through the follower list and it looks like a significant % of them are fake. Buying followers as well as likes? You can learn how on her training course!

fadethegrey · 12/07/2021 12:22

We need to be mindful that what we are discussing is factual as we are getting personal again - identifying people on the thread will get it shut down quickly ...

Spongebobette · 12/07/2021 13:12

Trouble is, the bots make of personal because they blur the lines between their ‘business’ and their own identity

Spongebobette · 12/07/2021 13:32
  • make it personal
VolcanicEruption · 12/07/2021 15:57

If the MLMs implodes what happens to this thread? We already know some do Hokey Cokey and keep switching sides others hiding in plain Sight and the ubiquitous Life coach.
I suppose we need to watch for them getting a real j.o.b or upping sticks ,or bankruptcy.
I already have joined the UC sites and occasionally have a check but they have obviously been warned to lie low.

Spongebobette · 12/07/2021 16:01

If MLMs implode, or better still were made illegal, I would consider it a great thing and would be happy for these threads to no longer be necessary

Spongebobette · 12/07/2021 16:03

And I would have no further interest in the lives of those such as Yawn, in her real job on reception at a car sales showroom

Norway has introduced a new law to compel social media influencers to label retouched photos. Be afraid bots: be very afraid.
