BOTWATCH 78 - the latest in a long series of threads where we keep an eagle eye on the lies and deceptions practised by MLMs. Unbelievably people are still being hooked in by these schemes where 97% of those who join LOSE MONEY and the top bots are struggling to pretend they are taking it in

Quick question. Are the bots flogging fl gloop any different from the lifestyle instagramers? I follow quite a few Instagram style gurus, house renovations lovelies and/or over 50 meno women. Are they any different? They all seem to be flogging some tat/jewellery/ vitamins. I suppose what I’m saying, is I can see how people can get drawn into the aspirational lifestyle of SM accounts. Is it all fake?

So what’s the “big news about FL UK Ireland and Iceland” in tomorrow’s 0930h Zoom as announced by the new Bob?

Heres my guess, FLP UK Ireland and Iceland is being placed under rule from Europe or being somehow reorganised to prop it up. This will be given a positive spin of course.

Any other guesses?

Catching up, why does nurse not know there are professional bodies for coaches to register as an industry standard. What exactly is the coaching she's offering?

MarchXX · 31/08/2023 19:37

@Spongebobette that is a powerful article. I think Yawn could also do with looking at it although she does not share anything relating to to her own children, thankfully.

NormalForNuneaton · 31/08/2023 21:20

Jeez what is it with Yawn hamming it up on her videos these days?

The exaggerated way she speaks, the OTT facial expressions ....is this something she's picked up for Tiktok or has it just been getting worse over time.

It's like some desperate wannabe teenage TV presenter. She really thinks she's something doesn't she

YouOKHun · 31/08/2023 21:34

The first second of Yawn’s Lives often contains the special expression she holds before pressing the “on” button. She sometimes looks a bit constipated for a millisecond but it can’t be that with all the Aloe she chugs. I imagine she practices her expressions in front of the bathroom mirror in her pockets of time.

Angrymum22 · 31/08/2023 22:02

Bloody hell, I drove past Yawn on her bike this afternoon, I’ve only just seen her cycling post. DS was with me and commented on how dangerous her outfit was in the weather we had and her fluorescent pink trainers were not sufficient. Many of the country lanes in the area have big tree canopies at this time of year so cyclists wearing black are a bloody menace. It rained most of the afternoon so I bet she was soaked when she got home.

YouOKHun · 31/08/2023 22:09

Anyone had the strength to read Castle’s long rambling story about some poor taxi driver in Ireland? Meeting him was apparently fete (sic). I suppose she will have to dredge stories from the past as there is nothing going on in the present for her, despite “team building being one of her zones of genius”. She is such a tool.

Ooooh..... wonder what's going to happen!

YouOKHun · 31/08/2023 22:12

Very decent of you to swerve around Yawn @Angrymum22. I would have just told the officer that I didn’t see her.

Angrymum22 · 01/09/2023 03:12

Just seen her story with the journey home. Not one of the three of them had any reflective gear on. Apart from about a mile and a half through the city they were cycling on rural roads with no street lights. Not an ounce of common sense between them. Unfortunately wearing black to hide the flab is likely to get you killed on the roads around here. The little red flashing lights are a total waste of time without hi viz clothing.
Weve also had a fair bit of rain so lots of standing water on unlit roads with a cycle lamp???? Looks like that had a few sherbets as well.
Not sure why they cycled all the way to the Crown. It used to be one of the pubs to be seen in, but the local county set have moved up the road.

And due to the no reflective gear I'd have believed you!

Sugarplum48 · 01/09/2023 08:58

Jesus that thatch roof is looking horrific much like the cycling video. What a dreadfully put together piece. Good jobs she's buying followers and likes as she has no clue how to draw a audience

She has a ‘tell’ I think I have spotted, her mouth purses to one side so she sort of speaks out of one side when she’s saying something she knows is not true

just reported a Yawn TikTok where she talks about getting on to an American cleanse programme based on aloe vera
trying to evade the rule about no MLMS….

I have never been able to work out FL’s CC bollocks. The big reveal appears to be a success day in London in Feb for which they have 3 mnths to generate 45CCs and train up a couple of managers. How doable is this for the majority of the bots?

I wondered that too, I'm dying to know...perhaps someone can do some digging?

Sugarplum48 · 01/09/2023 16:11

I'm genuinely perplexed as to who yawn is trying to be on tiktok. She's taken on a new weird persona, proper try hard wannabe funny mum now claiming that tiktok probably can't get over someone like her or something ridiculous along those lines. Her entire content on that app is just shite

Angrymum22 · 01/09/2023 17:15

I’m surprised she hasn’t posted her car accident photo and story. That’s the sort of thing that gets clicks.
Tictoc is full of very sad people who crave attention they don’t get in real life.
No doubt Yawn’s fellow FL managers have failed to make a fuss of her weight loss despite her jumping up and down and dragging her before and after photos to every event she attends.
Her exbff totally ignores her, again she probably knows the truth about her weight loss but is unable to out her because she too makes money of the C9s and gloop as a weight loss aid. It must be infuriating particularly if head office are pushing bots to use Yawns success to sell product.

YouOKHun · 01/09/2023 19:08

Yawn’s whole “business” is now dependent on milking her weight loss transformation. She can’t rely on attraction marketing in terms of “lifestyle” because she hasn’t got the cash for the designer goods or nice holidays. So all that’s left is the weight loss.

People might be interested as the weight loss is happening, they might be interest as the goal is reached. Six months down the line, not so much. She’s lost weight…so now what? “watch me maintain my weight”, no one is interested as it’s like watching French Chic paint dry. Diet and exercise tips? There are lots of people out there who know what they’re talking about and many many more like Yawn who don’t, it’s a crowded marketplace. Is she just going to keep talking about what happened six months ago? She needs to come up with new material and fast.

What WILL be interesting is watching what happens to someone who has publicly made their weight so central to their self-esteem. If when it goes tits up at FLP what will happen to her new lifestyle then, when it’s just her, a plate of chips and no validating audience to comment whether she is a size 8 or 18? I think I can guess.

But today she posted such valuable tips about exercise!!
…find something you enjoy doing then you are more likely to do it
Mind. Blown.

And according to her latest story, the UK is an 'untouched market' 🤣🤣🤣

Angrymum22 · 01/09/2023 22:35

I have reported every single one of her posts. She is skating close to the edge with her continual reference to the detox box. Tictoc specifically does not allow MLM and she has carefully placed product in many of her posts either visually or by reference.
The reason tictoc are controlling her interaction with followers is because there is unusual activity and direct messaging through her account which the algorithms pick up. She will be banned/shut down eventually since her account is flagging up commercial use.
She is so stupid.
The attention is feeding her narc personality.
