@YouOKHun Is crypto the magic word? AI is too clever for its own good.

BSintolerant · 26/08/2024 20:15

Ah… I mentioned the “C” word to test your theory @YouOKHun and my post is also on the naughty step! Shall we all do it to annoy the mods? 😉

YouOKHun · 26/08/2024 20:27

I spent ages typing my response to you re Sleaze and Wig’s concrete underwear. I even used the C word (the other C word) but my innocent reference to a very good podcast was the cause of the deletion. Do they reinstate comments once they read them and reassess them as harmless waffle or are they forever binned?

deviantfeline · 26/08/2024 21:14

@dickiedavisthunderthighs Broke! That's a blast from the past! He's totally off radar now. He seemed to find a nice GF and the grifting stopped. Good luck to him.

Yawn's stories from yesterday promoting her new fat club... Why is she crying? She looks really rough. Is it all an act, like 'look how humble I am'?

Sugarplum48 · 27/08/2024 08:18

@Meem321 yes it's a act. Yawn has no ability to get a sincere genuine kind human. She's in panic mode and broke with a huge debt. That has got to be worrying to owe over £200k on too of a mortgage and crumbling house.

Spongebobette · 27/08/2024 12:17

She’s saying her content was getting ripped off so she’s going to launch a subscription service to access her advice

but absolutely everything she offers is something she’s copied and pasted from elsewhere

she’s just trying to get a bit of income from her followers. Desperate times.

Yawn's offering is a mixture of plagiarism and unqualified advice. She wants to try and hide what she can from critics and hide the chronically low level of interest. I bet she is getting some pushback and not just from botwatchers. Even the ridiculous name she has given her programme is a direct rip off of a BBC make up artist show.

All the waffle and dishonest positioning of her *expertise and she still can't get the C9s to fly out of the door. How much does she make on each one? It had better be a handsome amount if she is going to give each customer 12 weeks of her time and "expertise". I expect she will lose interest before the 12 weeks is up. That's if it actually happens.

*looking at the attached it's clear there is going to be plenty of unqualified dietary, fitness and medical advice given. The final item is 'finding your tribe' which is the final push to get them properly recruited and committed to purchasing.

Spongebobette · 27/08/2024 12:51

And the people she’s featuring on her posts who have started C9s are already bots as far as I can make out

‘I requires consistency ‘ 🙄

If you click on the profiles of all those who have commented "interested" or whatever else, at least 75% of them are FBO's. Smoke and mirrors.

What the hell is headband doing. Her poor child. The internet is forever - anyone can take a screenshot. This poor boy is going to find it really hard in life if she continues with this crap. Sorry, but I’m really angry about this

I find it distressing to see how she exploits her child so thoughtlessly

hurlyburlywhirly · 27/08/2024 21:21

No @Spongebobette, it's even better from yawn - "I requires consisency"

And not a command of the English language, obviously..

YouOKHun · 27/08/2024 21:23

@10weekcountdown it's very concerning isn't it?

Surely some of her followers even though misguided about MLM, must have some awareness of how unfair, dangerous and plain stupid it is to share every detail of your child's life? She exploits her child to the point that it's possible to know far too much. The wrong person could by now know his name, age, DoB, where he lives, where he goes to school, where the school goes for school trips, the names of his parents and grand parents; exactly where to find him and entice him away armed with his name and knowledge of his obsession with motorbikes. It's probably pretty easy to convince a small child by saying, 'it's OK I know your mummy' and adding all the reassuring details available on FB. If only this scenario was far fetched.

She's an absolute idiot and I wonder what would happen if a concern was raised with HQ? They are responsible for the way their "independent" "business" "owners" conduct themselves in order to sell the aloe jizz and the "opportunity". So perhaps they should be doing a bit more to educate their bots about how to conduct themselves safely in the name of FLP?And if FLP doesn't think this kind of thing is a problem then that's a concern and one they should not be able to distance themselves from.

YouOKHun · 27/08/2024 21:44

I see the draw that a bot spending €40 on a ticket to be part of the crowd at FGR25 may have a chance of winning will in no way cover the costs of attending the FGR. It is a grand total of £125.

So that's a return flight (just about) without baggage allowance.
one night in an iffy hotel but not two nights
Not enough to cover transfers to/from the airport and buy meals.
Not enough to do a combination of the above

That's just the lucky winners of the draw. No wonder they're not queuing up.

PieonaBarm · 27/08/2024 21:58

I've never managed to work out who Headband is, even from previous clues. Can I have clues that you might give Yawn or someone like that, proper simple please!?

OhMyGiddyAunt · 27/08/2024 22:27

@PieonaBarm ....1st name is the same as Grayson Perry's wife (easy to Google that if you don't know). Surname is ..." they're changing xxxxx at Buckingham Palace"

YouOKHun · 27/08/2024 22:28

@PieonaBarm first name the female version of Mr Schofield's first name and second name is what you might put in front of an open fire to stop it setting your manky thatch alight. Or something that gets changed at Buckingham palace on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 1045h, or something you put in your mouth to preserve your teeth during a hockey or rugby match.

Yawn's clue would be easier, I'd just say, 'the person in question is your most irritating downline'.

YouOKHun · 27/08/2024 22:28

@OhMyGiddyAunt great minds and all that!

PieonaBarm · 27/08/2024 22:36

@OhMyGiddyAunt @YouOKHun got her, thanks! Excellent clues!

Sugarplum48 · 28/08/2024 08:38

@PieonaBarm just be aware that headband is very sensitive and if you dare to say anything out of turn she will send you private dm's being very very upset with you. 🤣🤣🤣 and then block you...

PieonaBarm · 28/08/2024 12:28

@Sugarplum48 ah ha. I lurk rather than comment so I reckon I'll be ok!

YouOKHun · 28/08/2024 14:09

Fierce says "plot twist" as she should be choosing furniture for their new home in Portugal and settling in to the community that was her destiny only days ago. Just like Wig and Sleaze they are "free spirits" and she just can't resist continuing their adventure. So they are hitching up the caravan and going to southern France asap.

So my question is, who in Portugal smelled a rat? A member of the home schooling community, someone official? When she is abruptly on the move it's no more about wonderlust than Ronnie Biggs' urgent holiday in Brazil.

Spongebobette · 28/08/2024 14:45

It’s VERY sus isn’t it!!!
