@Spongebobette they were quite close to the main bit of the university in a place teeming with students I'm told. That might have been why they thought it was a good spot but it seems to me that Bristol is just the sort of place where MLM and the paper-based harassment of people going about their business would be particularly badly received. I wouldn't fancy their chances of a polite exchange with a lot of the students either.

Still, it won't have cost their upline or FLP time, petrol, parking or printing costs so they will probably be told to repeat the exercise and try a bit harder next time.

They’ll get a ‘recognition’ in the form of a slide with their photo on on the next ‘success’ meeting with their group and be congratulated for increasing their activity 😂

Are former BFF's initials DN? Delete if not allowed?

Spongebobette · 24/10/2024 15:36

Yep

ticktock19 · 24/10/2024 21:47

So which of us is going to have a snoop round Yawn's happy go lucky free group

Spongebobette · 24/10/2024 22:09

I nominate you!!

Sugarplum48 · 24/10/2024 22:11

She hates ne. I'll do it.

ticktock19 · 24/10/2024 22:43

Haha...I might use one of my burner accounts for a nosey..may see you in there @Sugarplum48

Angrymum22 · 24/10/2024 22:56

So Yawns getting desperate.

YouOKHun · 25/10/2024 00:03

@Angrymum22 well quite. There is no way she would be offering anything free if it was going well. My guess is she has asked the present members to commit to the next £22 and having paid £22 for month one to hear recycled content and see memes they could have pulled off insta themselves, they are saying no thank you.

If she offers something for free all she will get is botwatchers who don't want to give her any money and others who will give it a go as it's free but won't convert to join the paying audience (if there are any payers left).

The likes of Guru Yawn and Castle have been brainwashed by MLMs to the extent where they’re incapable of original, or critical thought. There’s content and there’s nontent, and much of their plagiarised regurgitated drivel falls into the latter category. The monkey-see, monkey-do approach which isn’t sustainable in the murky world of MLM doesn’t work in the real world. It’s only a matter of time before these idiots have to instruct solicitors to get them out of the mire for copyright infringement (or worse).

I suspect the bots Yawn has interviewed have been given free access to her so-called academy in return for their time and words of wisdom.

ticktock19 · 25/10/2024 08:55

Talking of interviews, yawn has obviously badgered GB news to write an article about her, she's delighted that they've called her an influencer

YouOKHun · 25/10/2024 08:58

Though I wouldn’t be surprised if Scotbot has paid up and told that she’s got the opportunity to disclose her private mental health struggles to bot colleagues and strangers for free - Lucky Girl!

She says she lost the weight without the gym, but did she not build herself a makeshift gym in her house?

YouOKHun · 25/10/2024 10:00

@ticktock19 there is a lot missing from that TikTok content grab/interview in terms of the methods she used isn't there?!. Also absent is FLP; no mention and no photos. She's has also been decapitated which I should think is a really quick method of weight loss.

Still, who wouldn't want to feature on GB News and get their torso its 15 minutes of fame. Vogue cover next month eeekkk!

The unlucky girl group is down two members compared to earlier in the week. I imagine now it's approaching end of the month that there are a number of women who've tried it out, realised they can get all the 'valuable' advice with a quick browser search, and are buggering off again.

Loving the new group - her top tip could rival Viz's.

YouOKHun · 25/10/2024 12:04

@dickiedavisthunderthighs I'm always interested in your reporting of the reality. There was no doubt that the free taster offering from Yawn was tied to a lack of take up for month two and those who paid for the first month deciding they would rather buy a Starbucks each week instead. Two members confirms it. Let's guess who those members are, Headband and Scotbot? I suspect Headband will be the next Podcast interview.

Wasn't she in take a break or woman's own or something like that after she sold them her weight loss story for £250 after they completely randomly contacted her to publish her inspiring story for their readers?

Yeah you pay them to publish, Yawn must think we're stupid

ticktock19 · 25/10/2024 14:13

Whoever Dora Kelly is - massive round of applause for that sublime comment on the GB News article.
That article is so badly put together and reads terribly and as has been said, they've missed out Yawns replica David Lloyd in a shed that she spent hours in. Plus ALL of the aloe too
It's all a bit laughable and desperate Yawn

Spongebobette · 25/10/2024 15:20

Great comments!

BethanyBarleywater · 25/10/2024 15:44

I empower women to unlock their inner badass and transform every their lives.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but this quote from Yawn's sign-up page doesn't scream professional.

AbbeyGrange · 25/10/2024 15:50

What did Dora say? I notice on Yawn's Facebook page there are no comments when she mentions the GB article just a couple of likes, it's probably because they know it's all bullshit.
