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

@Angrymum22 oh yes, I like a nice fountain pen too. I even spent a day at a fountain pen convention with lots of other nerds recently. If you have more than one fountain pen then they make excellent earplugs. Just stick one in each ear if you are having trouble listening to Castle’s fiction about her rise to being an eleven-billionty figure earner. The larger Esterbrook pen has a barrel wide enough to completely block out the sound of any of them talking complete arse.

Stationery porn … I could get quite excited over a bit of Rymans and WH Smith. Fountain pens and Basildon Bond envelopes are top shelf material. Despite my excitement, I would never hang sheets of paper from Flamingo Paperie’s collection in my outdoor privy, even though that is where former MLM stock belongs. We haven’t seen Yawn’s bot potty for a while have we? Do you think she’s sold it on Vinted? 😉

BSintolerant · 18/09/2023 23:26

Ooer! I like a wide nib @YouOKHun 🤣

YouOKHun · 18/09/2023 23:41

Flamingo’s gone tits up so you’d be hard pushed to use it for anything @BSintolerant. Spending time with Basildon Bond or admiring a Mont Blanc pen is perfectly healthy. It’s when you start printing bizniz planners in a grubby back room that a love of stationery moves to the dark side.

Who knows where the bot potty has gone. Listed on Vinted along with Yawn’s old vests, greying pants and trusses, in an attempt to raise funds for a re-thatch I should think.

DeliaDeetz · 19/09/2023 15:14

Not sure if Nurse thinks that if she talks about a wide variety of subjects she'll appeal to all sorts of different people maybe??
Today it's weather and gynae problems..at least she's stopped talking about her kids teeth for a couple of days!

I see Yawn is back on the subject of trolls again.
Not sure at what point of her weightloss those pics are meant to be but apparently people who could do with losing weight themselves were calling her fat!
Supposedly trolls hate people they can't be...

Sugarplum48 · 19/09/2023 16:38

Yawn now also claims she's a size 8 and has made thousands on vinted from selling her scabby vest tops.

Spongebobette · 19/09/2023 16:44

She’s such a lying liar

Absolute tosh on Yawn's FB page...

"work hard for 3-5 years in forever and you'll be set for life"

Yawn's been slogging away for 14 years.

On the other hand, it may be a typo and she meant to say "work hard for 35 years in forever and you'll be in debt for life"

Angrymum22 · 19/09/2023 19:55

When Yawn talks about big fat trolls my imagination runs riot picturing the thatch surrounded by “Lord of the Rings” trolls drooling and picking their rotten teeth with loose bits of thatch.
She does seem to pick team members that accentuate her new svelte figure. She so juvenile, like the girls who surround themselves with less attractive friends. She’s just a nasty unpleasant narcissist, because if she really listened to the trolls she may actually take a good long look at how her “ faking ‘till you make it “ way of life impacts negatively on many many people she has cast off in the last 13 yrs.

YouOKHun · 19/09/2023 20:06

Here’s Nurse’s Facebook engagement on her coaching business page for the last 7 days, bearing in mind this was the week it was supposed to take off:

Total number of Nurse posts over 7 days: 13
of which were Lives: 4
Total pool of people engaging by “like” or comment: 11(including mother)
Total amount of comments over 7 days: 3
Highest number of interaction on a post:5
Lowest: 0
Total number of posts with NO engagement: 4
number of Lives with NO engagement 2

Her posts have been “seen” by between 16-52 people who have chosen to scroll by. Specsaver is saving her likes for Nurse’s Lives.
The really low or zero engagement has been in the last 2-3 days; that’s the direction of travel. Hopeless.

DeliaDeetz · 19/09/2023 22:42

Her Instagram page doesn't exactly have many likes/comments on her posts although she keeps mentioning in her stories that people have been messaging her to ask questions about different things.
She's now launching a YouTube channel, which I'm sure will have a similar level of engagement.

YouOKHun · 19/09/2023 23:38

I think the trolls Yawn is talking about are as fictional as anything Tolkien came up with. It’s just an excuse for some sympathy engagement and a bit of attention.

If people were calling her a “big fat c**t” then they must have been people she either knows in real life (to know their body shape) or she was bothered enough to trawl through their photos. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone make a comment like that on her posts.

I wonder if she is thinking of her critics here, though of course she knows nothing about what we weigh or look like or indeed whether we are “successful” or not. It’s interesting that she feels she is better than someone who weighs more than her; a pretty unhealthy way to think.

Personally I’d never say something like that to anyone and I don’t give a flying fuck what someone’s weight is. There is no correlation between low weight and greater value . What she isn’t getting is that people don’t loathe her because they’re jealous, they loathe her because she’s a lying fraud with no moral compass whether she is a size 8 or 18.

Yup. And those engagements are multiples with a vanishingly small number of people all of whom seem to be other coaching bots, or kind friend. So total interaction is about 3 people
It's interesting who has her on 'preview'. Lots. Means she's invited them and theyve not accepted

Spongebobette · 20/09/2023 08:11

Omg a YouTube channel? She can’t keep up with her other socials - every TikTok starts with sorry it’s ages since I’ve been on

will she be more disciplined about her focus on business on YouTube or will it be the same mix of personal stuff, wobbly teeth and car issues?

OP posts:
WilkinsonM · 20/09/2023 08:54

YouTube?? That Will be interesting. I know you can turn off comments but can you delete individual comments as a YouTube creator? Can you block people from seeing your channel? I don't think you can. I've never commented on nurse or yawn or anyone else because I don't want to get blocked and miss the entertainment but I'd comment on a YouTube video!!

meatbaseddessert · 20/09/2023 09:20

To be fair the transition from non runner to runner is so hard. I tried and failed at C25k several times until i fixed the physical aspects (routine, decent shoes, shite ankles and a weak glute), routine and, dare I say it, mindset Grin. I went from not being able to do 60 seconds to a non stop half marathon in a year but hells bells it's the hardest thing I've ever done.

Week 3 is a killer agreed. It's a massive jump and I stayed there for a month before I felt I could move on. Saying that I reached 5k and then the next day smashed out a 10k immediately just because I felt I could and I've learned resilience through work and hard study to push through horrors to a goal.

Interesting to see where NNN takes this. It's dangerous given how hard it is. It's a display of how effective (or not) her mindset coaching is. She risks losing any credibility she has with this. Of course all the promises are in unsaved 'lives' so no accountability if she chooses to ditch it. Like quite a lot of the other things she's tried....

Sugarplum48 · 20/09/2023 11:44

Its really disconcerting that Yawn revels in highly intelligent women giving up frankly amazing careers to sell flp shite. Her rambling fb post about trolls only speaking up against her is because shock horror we are all bitter women who are sad and desperate to be her!!!!!! I nearly spat my tea out..... NO ONE WANTS TO BE YOU SWEETHEART!!! the level of delusion is very real for you isn't it!!!! I literally couldn't stand to live your life, relentless selling, relentless shit sm content, relentless 200k directors loan, relentless lies.... that in its self must be exhausting. Constantly lying about your finances, your life...... Stop deluding yourself with the constant bs speil you promote!!! You are called out because you are a LIAR!!! Its really that simple!!!!

fromdownwest · 20/09/2023 11:57

What platform is Yawn's troll rant on?

Also - Castle is slowly becoming more and more insignificant by the day. Her interactions are falling on every platform, more inane rambling. I had to unfollow her as she was boring even by bot watching standards!

It stopped raining when she began her run so it ‘was meant to be’ and she was ‘in alignment’
Literally

It's on Facebook.

SnoogyWoo · 20/09/2023 15:03

I tried to watch castles 20 mins live the other day. Just a rambling mess, all she keeps saying is comment if you are scared to start a business or are you apprehensive about starting one. Of course people are, whoever you are you are always going to be scared. Ridiculous.

Angrymum22 · 20/09/2023 15:38

I think Yawn is finding TicToc time consuming and difficult to police. I notice someone had commented asking whether she deleted every negative comment. I suspect that there have been a lot and people are noticing her ability to cancel.

Angrymum22 · 20/09/2023 16:07

Also she replies to every comment thereby doubling the comment count🙄 There are some interesting ones that she has missed.
She keeps going on about her IBS which, unlike her, I don’t remember her going on about in the past.
The problem with her bowels was not due to alcohol. It’s all the bloody gloop she drinks.

PieonaBarm · 20/09/2023 17:57

I can't cope with the drama over Nurses tyres. You've got a slow puncture love, you probably knocked another tyre when you had the blowout, just take it somewhere else if you're not happy and get them to sort it. In fact just do your tyre pressures and that will tell you which tyre it is, then you can tell them to just fix that tyre. If you're that worried about having your child in the car then don't use the car with him until it's sorted. But no, kid in the car on the school run.

ticktock19 · 20/09/2023 21:48

Good plan on unfollowing Castle apparently she has a coffee enema kit on the way to her and she's going to take 'everyone' along for the experience 😳.
I presume this is related to the young US ' MLM coach' that passed away at the weekend from cancer / kidney failure (??) - from what I've seen online then she was also a great advocate of coffee enemas / celery juice / (rectal) ozone therapy(??)
