Botwatch 90!!!! 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. And ‘coaching’ scams are just as bad!

Yes I vaguely remember that the fallout seemed to hinge on Roomie’s carefree picture taking and sharing (or maybe that was just the bit of the fall out that was visible). Was it the catalyst for Roomie getting the cold shoulder or her passive aggressive response to her treatment? I can’t quite remember, but Yawn has a track record of being at the centre of these spats. I wonder how many falling outs there were besides the ones Botwatchers saw, lots I should think, interspersed with smaller envy motivated behaviours. I always have the sense that Yawn is very competitive and, in the words of Gore Vidal, “it’s not enough to succeed, others must fail”. It’s why her vocal support of downlines and other bots seemed so inauthentic.

I am wondering how long the Build an Unlucky 666 Club can tick along before it’s Michael Kors Handbags at Dawn again?

Her list of clients isn’t exactly big league stuff that will pay the bills

Spongebobette · 19/01/2026 13:55

I always felt that her praise of downlines was in fact self praise - anything they achieved was thanks to her

I think that Yawns venture is doomed to failure if the “clients” she is “coaching” are more successful in business than she is. I get the feeling she is constantly looking for partnerships in other businesses that will mean little effort in return for a passive profit. She will always be a parasite.

YouOKHun · 19/01/2026 16:29

@Crwysmam I think it’s also that each of her new ventures is built on such flimsy and limited ideas that they run out of steam very quickly and because she has such a limited offering it requires the distraction and ideas of someone else to make it look like there is momentum. She has been saying the same thing since August 2024 when she launched it, largely as two fingers to her toxic ex-friends in FLP. There is the occasional addition of Woo, a change of typeface, a new partner/BFF. Despite clinging to new collaborations there is really nothing to see and no one looking. I think she must really miss the false sense of importance she had with FLP and the platform it gave her. She is never going to have a supply of hypnotised downlines again.

In terms of the few clients we have seen you’re right that they seem to be a lot busier than Yawn and, in the case of Doggy Bot, I wonder how long it will take her to work out that her fledgling business has gained nothing from Yawn’s input. Doggy Bot could pay another mindset coach to ego boost and tell her she is great which isn’t of much use but with Yawn Doggy Bot is paying to be told by Yawn how great Yawn is. This doesn’t constitute good business advice!

Spongebobette · 19/01/2026 16:43

Hmmm Yawn’s looking for new coaching clients and part of her pitch is that she has 15 years experience in ‘one of the hardest business models in the world (network marketing)’

HANG ON! I thought it was business in a box/ nooks and crannies/ sack the boss/ social selling?

OP posts:
Spongebobette · 19/01/2026 16:50

Also she says she visualises her dream life, and having manifested all her goals, when she walks the dog

HANG ON
I thought she already was living her dream life???

That was the trip where Roomie took a photo in the room that had Yawn's arse reflected in the balcony doors, posted a photo of them in the gym which in a milisecond undid all the carefully photoshopped images of Yawn. My guess is that Yawn and chums ganged up on her/gave her the cold shoulder for the rest of the trip.

Ooh I never saw that photo...bugger! I need a grin as well

MrsDilligaf · 19/01/2026 19:10

My mind has gone blank, clue for roomie please 🙏

YouOKHun · 19/01/2026 19:38

@MrsDilligaffirst name: the American author ? Steel, and second name: Children’s classic Ladybird book called ? Duckling (but with an ie not a y). Roomie is now living an MLM free life I believe.

OhMyGiddyAunt · 19/01/2026 20:48

Did anyone ever screenshot that photo? If so I'd love to be reminded of it.

Let's also not forget Yawn's more recent room-mate Scotbot who similarly disappeared into the ether after a week of MLM hell sharing a hotel room with Yawn.

Spongebobette · 19/01/2026 21:26

And Specsaver bot - shared a hotel room then ?

I still have the Yawn and Scotbot Indian meltdown video saved. Always good to watch for a laugh.

I hope castle, uber are looking at Brooklyn Beckham’s post and reflecting on how tney pimp out their kids for clicks

Spongebobette · 20/01/2026 18:10

I was thinking exactly the same

Marina Hyde’s column in the Guardian is good - the Beckham sold every element of his childhood.

pontivex · 20/01/2026 18:32

I just checked back in with Roomie. All evidence of FL has been wiped from FB.

YouOKHun · 20/01/2026 18:49

Was about to say the same about Castle after her recent comments on SM about VB and her adoration of VB’s carefully choreographed snapshot of Brand Beckham in that recent documentary. Castle does not have the ability to reflect on anything, especially her own behaviour and its outcomes for others. She will be too mesmerised by the wealth. I wonder if she will comment on it after her recent post about VB?

In other news, Castle is looking for a year 7 maths tutor for Turret No1. Thank feck she’s outsourcing that job as her own handle on numbers leaves something to be desired. Bruv knows someone. Let’s hope his contact isn’t a Belief Codswalloper who does some iffy tutoring on the side.

Apprentice Bot is currently helping her new favourite bot to get to her first million. This is going to be done by taking BC into schools to help children who struggle in various ways to triumph using BC to “get over” their dyslexia, SB, anxiety, ADHD, Autism (you name it). Now, I don’t know about you but I don’t think trying to make your first million and uncontrolled contact with children is the least bit compatible. The bot in question has some wound up companies all of a wellbeing and CIC feel and fingers in young persons’ rehabilitation/support organisations so she may well be able to get BC through the door. Apprentice Bot clearly senses a lucrative chance to get to the parents using the mental health of their children.

Spongebobette · 20/01/2026 19:40

A maths tutor? But she announced that he was a gifted child not long ago!

OP posts:
Tupperwarelid · 20/01/2026 20:16

Castle has posted in her insta stories about how upset she feels for VB after what BB has done.

Spongebobette · 20/01/2026 20:26

Wish someone would comment ‘did VB ever post a video of her eldest son on the toilet?’

OP posts:
Justdancevance · 20/01/2026 20:43

Does Castle speak to her nephews ? Or have they gone NC

MrsDilligaf · 21/01/2026 18:38

New 2026 VIP list has been published...

Mr Boring name is on there!

YouOKHun · 21/01/2026 19:21

@MrsDilligaf interesting. I wonder whether the agreement with FLP is for him to lie low while some process is ongoing, either because of possible negative publicity for FLP or because he needs to be seen as having his priorities focussed on sorting out whatever mess he’s got into with his property empire? I don’t know really. There has to be a reason for his outward facing activity disappearing from view from the moment he was “hacked” even if his name appears within the cult and their closed social media. It’s not just him but her too. Why doesn’t she continue her “good work” in FLP if she isn’t a director of any of his companies? Why does she have to lie low too and stop promoting FLP?

Perhaps they simply want no attention while the house has gone and probably all the other symbols of success, because that would invite questions among the downline, more questions than just going quiet. They don’t want questions and doubts raised and neither does FLP. It’s odd though.

ItWasnaMeGuv · 22/01/2026 06:56

Just how many 'friendships' has Yawn lost over the years? Women who were once a big part of her life who now probably ghost her. It sounds corrosive to me and definitely not normal. Sadly, for those enmeshed in MLM ideology, it is a fact of life. Sad.

Spongebobette · 22/01/2026 16:59

I’m afraid none of them was a real friend - ‘friendships’ made through MLMs are entirely transactional
