Just a few links for anyone who is new here and who wants to know more about why multilevel marketing (MLM)/network marketing is problematic. Pyramid scheme information included because, well, it’s relevant …

Thanks @YouOkHun!

YouOKHun · 22/04/2025 22:54

Ah good, I’m always worried I’ve done the wrong thing or parked the thread somewhere obscure. When someone else appears it’s a relief!

Thread number 88 and rising, Unlucky Club 63 and falling, FLP turnover also falling. Modere crashing. Who else will have crashed and burned by thread 100?!

definitelynotabot · 22/04/2025 22:59

Thank you - 88 eh, wonder how many more MLMs will fall by the wayside by the time this thread is full?

The other day I saw yet another bot posting a "sympathetic" post about Modere, very thinly disguised recruitment, though ironically the company she is recruiting for doesn't seem that much more solid.....

BSintolerant · 23/04/2025 00:48

Thank you for thread 88 @YouOKHun . Glad to see it hasn’t ended up in Sporner Corner - Bots and Spots are as easy to mix up as Angels and Anals! (I don’t believe in any of that nonsense, but there we are).

@Botpotty - we’re over here!

Sugarplum48 · 23/04/2025 08:32

Yay to this

Twentytwentyhindsight · 23/04/2025 12:24

Uber’s taken a leaf out of Yawn’s narcissism book and done a 3rd person “who’s Uber?” post.
They might despise each other, but they’re clearly closely following each other for any tricks to stem dwindling engagement.

YouOKHun · 23/04/2025 13:05

I see Struck Off Bot is still keen to comment on Yawn’s posts. Yawn responds to her briefly and it looks as if Struck Off/Divorce Bot is implying she will be working with them soon (she’s probably signed up for a photoshoot). Or is pushing to join them and Yawn is keeping her on the boil but at a distance.

I think Yawn has botwatchers to thank for background information on this person but she needs to find a way to extract money from Struck Off bot without appearing to collaborate in a way that appears to endorse Struck Off Bot’s recent conduct and therefore conflicts with Yawn’s safe, empowering, nurturing, abundant, manifesting Unlucky Club. I wonder if Struck Off Bot wonders how she went from podcast star and Yawn’s new social media friend to being generally ignored or getting brief responses days later in the comments on posts?

YouOKHun · 23/04/2025 13:07

@TwentytwentyhindsightI’m sure they’re watching each other like hawks! If Uber isn’t sure who she is I would be willing to fill in the blanks for her.

OP posts:
Spongebobette · 23/04/2025 13:16

Yawn is getting around 5-15 likes on her Instagram posts and no comments

Not good is it?

YouOKHun · 23/04/2025 14:20

@Spongebobetteits not indicative of new interest in her offering is it? Today Unlucky Club has gone from 64 to 62 members and still no real interest in her Unlucky Club FB page. The interest she does have is from faithful downlines I suspect, which isn’t enough.

Spongebobette · 23/04/2025 16:04

Interesting
Headband posted a screenshot of the online ‘training’ she attended and it was clearly Uber’s team
I thought she’d be attending Yawn’s meetings

MrsDilligaf · 23/04/2025 18:48

Guess what!?! I have a rising star fan badge from Salon! <<preens>>

Bloody Yawn keeps popping up on my Tiktok FYP with those ridiculous stickers.

Haven't checked out most of major bots for a while, so I might have a stalk later.

ticktock19 · 23/04/2025 19:00

If you want a good giggle, watch Salons tear jerking live about her blood test results from the zinyzany company, featuring gems such as - mental strength - insufficient, cell membrane fluidity- insufficient and her ‘protection value’ is zero 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

I noticed that too. I also noticed that you could see the full names and faces of most of the other attendees. She has no regard for anyone’s privacy.

She used to be quite a pretty girl. What has she done to her face? She looks really odd

and a pin prick test that tells you all about what you are ‘insufficient’ in, including mental clarity? Strong Theranos vibe there

presumably this ‘test’ then recommends that you take lots of supplements that the company sells - resulting in expensive wee wee

This was a reply to @ticktock19

don’t know what’s going on with @Botpotty ’s posts???

YouOKHun · 23/04/2025 19:59

@BangingOnI was just about to comment about the names of Uber’s trainees being on display - she is another one who isn’t registered with the ICO and should be. There again, she’s perfectly happy to exploit her own family’s privacy so she won’t worry about the people she is manipulating. Seen as the names were there for us all to see I had a scan for any other members of Yawn’s downline but couldn’t see anyone I recognised other than Yawn’s former upline and a bot I follow who makes outrageous health claims about FL products. Do people like Headband have any say about uplines?

Jeez yawn looks unwell whilst stating she has insane skills at coaching but looking quite unwell with quite possibly the most shocking nails. Things are really slipping. Her footage shows a woman being led by her team mate rather than working together

LeoDiCapricorn · 23/04/2025 22:16

Placemarking for more insane coaching sessions

UghFletcher · 23/04/2025 22:24

Oooh I’ve followed these threads in forever but never posted.

Been added to a WhatsApp group this week by a school mum for a scheme that sells ‘wellness products’ and she is trying to get as much sales in before she goes to Turkey in 3 weeks. Also invited to listen to a work colleagues new ‘travel business launch’ 🙄 can’t believe these MLMs are still going strong.

Angrymum22 · 23/04/2025 22:49

It’s very nearly Yawns deadline for submitting her accounts. I wonder if her 4 day break involved a family summit meeting regarding finances. It’s very apparent that her FLP income has fizzled out and the coaching business has stalled. HMRC may be applying pressure or have called in the directors loan. Her accountant may have dumped her now she is no longer with FLP.
My money is on “the shit has hit the fan” and they have spent the weekend readying the thatch for a special photo shoot. The only way they are likely to extricate themselves is to sell up. They are unlikely to be able to extend their mortgage any further, so is this it, are we going to see the thatch up for sale?

YouOKHun · 23/04/2025 23:01

Forever Living offering nine qualifiers the chance to buy a €40 ticket to be part of the crowd scenes in Paris. Judging by the comments no one will need to pay €40 as there are quite a few bots trying to get shot of their ticket. One offering a ticket to Paris is Scotbot who says she can no longer make it. India was worth the hassle but Paris isn’t.

YouOKHun · 23/04/2025 23:10

@Angrymum22I wonder. In the current climate I imagine there must be renewed focus on financial arrangements like Yawn’s. I don’t fancy their chances of selling their house if it comes to it. There seems to be a new aversion to old house thanks to the cost of energy, especially one needing a £30k re-thatch. I live in a house build c.1500 and can see that I will be saddled with it forever!
