Botwatch 89!!!!!! MLM is dying but we are still watching and sadly there are still many victims. 99.6% of participants in these “legal” schemes lose money but they are STILL being promised the world by MLM.

Yawn and Techie look like they’ve been caught short and are taking a “comfort break” in a lavender field. Yawn may be smiling or grimacing, not sure.

I thought that too 😂

Yeah techie is having a wee and yawn is trying to push out a big poo.

YouOKHun · 19/08/2025 21:27

Who chooses these photos? I was blaming the original snappy snapper but this is a terrible photo and the original snappy snapper seems to have disappeared so it must be the new BuildHUN photographer.

Why isn’t anyone looking at it and saying, ‘let’s not use that one, we both look like we have been caught short but you, Yawn, look like you’re in quite a bit of discomfort. Let’s not use that photo’. Is it because they are all ex-MLM and have never really made any sensible decisions? It doesn’t convince me that I would want them doing the branding and images for a website for a four figure sum.

it looks like Apprentice Bot and Castle are in touch as Apprentice Bot has been promoting Castle’s “Moronic” offering.

😆 @YouOKHun - my thoughts exactly!

To paraphrase Marie Lloyd: “She shits amongst the lavender and pees…” 🎶

Yawn has bagged her MLM superstar, a futility big-shed-er.

I wonder what pearls of wisdom they will share?

Spongebobette · 20/08/2025 15:38

Lovely to see Nurse enjoying her job and taking on more hours

but absolutely infuriating that she puts this down to manifestation - ask and the universe will deliver etc etc

if manifestation is so great how come she didn’t become a top bot on FL with the white rangey and country cottage she had on her goal boatd, or become a successful coach with dozens of clients???

@Spongebobette I have just watched her Instagram stories and those were pretty much my thoughts!

YouOKHun · 20/08/2025 19:01

No wonder Yawn has been keen to emphasise that it’s holiday time and that’s why it’s quiet. It’s a way of explaining the lack of interaction with her Unlucky social media and a new all time low membership of the Unlucky Club (now 49). If it’s so quiet why launch BuildaDebt during August?

The interest has been minimal since the pre-Christmas novelty wore off though there seems to be a sharper decline in interest over the summer. She can only try and style it out for as long as Mr Yawn is employed. It must actually be quite exhausting trying to find new ways of saying the same thing to the same small audience, even if she is addicted to the attention.

Unless I’ve misunderstood TikTok (very possible) then it looks like Soft Focus Bot has been banished. So that’s FB, Insta and now TikTok. What’s left? Friends Reunited or MySpace?

YouOKHun · 20/08/2025 23:01

Damn, she is still on TikTok - ignore me! She hasn’t managed to add to her followers in the last couple of months so that’s something.

Spongebobette · 21/08/2025 10:30

Yawn now claiming that her ‘agency’ (is that what her business is??) will be run by younger members in the family and she’ll be on a beach in the Bahamas in retirement
…and that this ‘agency’ will be ‘world renowned’

I can’t find quite the right emoji to show my reaction

YouOKHun · 21/08/2025 11:21

@SpongebobetteI think she hears a word that sounds good or is part of a world that is out of reach and decides to weave it in to her game of make believe. She’s probably been watching something about a modelling agent or something and likes the sound of the word and thinks it sounds glamorous. Will she have time for the Bahamas when she has the Spanish Villa to enjoy as well?

Her biggest problem is that the MLM tactic of selling a dream by implying a lifestyle is only convincing if you are telling people in the same system that they can achieve the same as you by plugging away. They are already invested in the scam so are more likely to listen. Without the broader web of fiction from Forever she doesn’t have an audience and her lording it over people with big lifestyle claims just looks like showing off. I think she has a trickle of complimentary calls which go no further as it’s pretty clear there isn’t much on offer. She can’t say “trust the system and keep investing” because the coaching relationship has a limited life anyway. All she can do is offer ego-boosting so that people feel good and “empowered” but that doesn’t help their non-viable businesses to function or generate money to pay her for coaching. She has got to pull in real customers now and MLM coercion and lifestyle lies won’t work.

Crikeyalmighty · 21/08/2025 11:34

@YouOKHun I also really hate the word ‘complimentary’ - if you are trying to flog something love it’s a sales call - and calling potential clients is not ‘complimentary’ in terms of a sales call , it’s part of doing business - otherwise 90% of people in sales and marketing would be making ‘complimentary ‘ calls most of the day - and not bigging it up

Spongebobette · 21/08/2025 13:03

And every call is ‘beautiful’ or ‘gorgeous’ and every inquiry is from a ‘lovely lady’

yuk yuk yuk

The language she uses is either inaccurate or plain silly!

Forever has been encouraging me to have a look at their business testimonials. They really need to delete the testimonial Yawn recorded in February when she was pretty much out of FLP. Speaking in the present tense she says that Forever has given/is giving her family complete (financial) freedom and financial stability. This is a lie and Forever knows it. Just because it’s hidden from public view it’s still false information and just because it has a disclaimer (results may vary) it doesn’t change fact that what Yawn is saying is not true; her results vary!

There are loads of testimonials presumably containing similarly untrue stories of financial success and it’s one of the key sources that new and struggling bots are pointed towards to reassure themselves that success is within reach. Yawn is economical with the truth, that’s a given, but what about Forever? Do they think income lies are fine if they hide them in Dropbox in a closed group?

@user1471446301 I wondered where you’d gone! I just hope SF Bot can’t get the social media traction she once had and disappears from view. It would be even better if her followers saw the light and chose to stop looking at her.

Crikeyalmighty · 21/08/2025 16:53

@user1471446301 blimey she’s a real ‘hun/babe’ lover - looks hard as nails to be honest.

Angrymum22 · 21/08/2025 17:05

Yawn has such poor coaching skills. The only thing she concentrates on is launching a business quickly followed by where she imagines herself being once it’s successful. She has absolutely no idea how the business will become successful and no inclination to work hard in achieving the end goal. She epitomises instant gratification which is such a poor business model. But then her only experience of limited success is being a poster girl for an MLM where smoke and mirrors is the norm.

She is rapidly running out of time to secure a comfortable and enduring future - a decent pension in the real world.
I doubt that her DH has a particularly healthy pension pot but I suppose she may be in for some inheritance if the current government don’t steal it all in inheritance tax.

Her current project has no tangible assets or goodwill to speak of so is completely worthless in the future.

well, I think livebad will go the way of many ponzis soon and the only subscriptions she will be getting is jobseekers that’s if she’s ever paid NI.

I never knew who SF bot was before but just looked her up with the latest clues ....wowsers, Ive only seen a couple of clips from holiday live posts and I'm 😲she's a delight isn't she?!
