As I’ve said many times before, the exploitation of bots’ children for engagement is one of my particular bugbears

Alison Hammond (TV presenter) is collaborating with Tropic 🙄

no angry emoji :( I can't find an income statement for tropic I was hoping I could tag her in on it boo.

user1471446301 · 09/07/2026 18:01

Tractor bot's Husband injured himself trotting not even 50 metres at their children's sports day went down like a sack of spuds he obviously hasn't been taking his supplements pillock. No doubt now it will be all about the products aiding his recovery but in the interim it's so hard for poor Tractor managing a biznizz, kids (at school) a puppy (your choice) and a husband, get a grip you wazzock.

YouOKHun · 09/07/2026 18:37

Never fear, poor lame Mr Tractor, Nurse Headband will be along shortly to dab on her cure all Aloe Vera Jelly to soothe your poor injured Gentleman’s Pride.

Tractor Bot ought to put down the pooper scooper and go and sort out that downline of hers (Rictus).

YouOKHun · 09/07/2026 18:45

Would Alison Hammond understand an income statement and also give a damn?

Anyway, Tropic ISN’T MLM!! How many more times must the Tropic bots trying to recruit me to their team have to repeat this?! Also, they have to be sold via “social selling” as SM hand squishes the ingredients in her own kitchen and says the products are so fresh that they only have a nano second self life and can’t possible spend a week or so on some retailer’s shelf. What this means for the products languishing on eBay or FB Marketplace I’m not sure (and SM doesn’t care!).

I'd never thought this would happen but I've lost all interest in Yawn. Nothing is going to happen is it? It's just a little hobby, propped up by Mr Yawn, and at some point relatively soon Techie will withdraw and that will be the end of that.

YouOKHun · 10/07/2026 11:16

I know what you mean @dickiedavisthunderthighs . Yawn will sell a bit of aloe Vera and carry on pretending to be a coach, at some point without Techie (who has her own problems). One day there will be an announcement that she is retiring, she will imply this is because she has no need to work thanks to her successful career. No one will really notice the announcement. It won’t be when it’s clear to her that there is absolutely zero money coming in, the retirement will be when the financial difficulties become too obvious and too public. Until then, you’re right, it’s boring. She must be getting pretty bored herself.

She can’t shut down her company easily. I imagine quite a lot of her time is spent thinking about how to save face. She can’t keep launching a new version of the same thing. I expect the end will be decided for her when there is some big expense they can’t avoid. Until then she is truly living up to her name.

Spongebobette · 10/07/2026 11:55

I’m sorry Yawn but noting down ‘what people come to you for advice on’ is not going to result in a lucrative business

she’s really scraping the barrel now

Spongebobette · 10/07/2026 11:57

And why does she think everyone wants their own business, when being employed gives you a pension, sick pay, maternity leave pay etc etc?

This is the reason why BAB isn't going to last. She's made the classic MLM-led assumption that people want their own business, or more likely to feel like they have their own business. On the whole, people don't.

user1471446301 · 10/07/2026 21:02

Rictus "pre holiday vibes, 1hr and counting!)" more like 1 hour to shift all personalised belongings in the garage (which the guests don't have access to) and wait to hand over the keys.

Then off they go in a sweat box with a poor attempt at a vanity plate S73 EFF. It's odd I don't think I've ever seen her flex a black rangey as she's never one to miss a brag, but then it's a 13 year old model. Appreciate it's probably the caravan workhorse, but you would have thought what with the FL2Drive scheme and her earning 30K a month she would qualify for highest level of 800 usd a month which would get her a pretty sweet ride to brag about. Except it is of course all lies.

I partly agree - it feels a bit like beating up someone with a shit failing company - that’s clearly now just a bit of a hobby -

Preacher Bot has had a set back, poor man. He’s a man with a few irons in the fire, a job in his family firm and preaching which is a good thing as I am sure while there might be support from individuals, Forever Living as an organisation will pull the rug away very quickly if his productivity goes down due to illness.

I, too, have lost interest in Yawn.

The first one I lost interest in was Castle now its Yawn. It's just the same old churn of AI generated crap.

If you're reading this Yawn, take note ... if even us bot watching haterz can't be arsed then nobody else is going to bother are they!?

Hoping for the very best for preacher, lets hope he concentrates on his treatment and recovery and the gloop falls by the wayside. FL aren't going to pay him sick pay, accrue holiday or pension whilst he's unable to work or give a toss whilst he's unavailable to shill. May he find solace and support from his church.

Quote from a certain insta " I don't care if you get 0 likes, keep promoting your business. I promise people are watching." GrinGrinGrinGrin

I can just imagine her 'BuildABarren' social media customers' are trying to emulate her 'success' and wondering why crickets is the response. They ask her plaintively "why are we getting no feedback on our social media?" This is her response. So reassuring Hmm.

ItWasnaMeGuv · 12/07/2026 05:20

Still on the subject of a certain bot's insta, how do you 'manifest' your lunch? Surely you just pop out to the supermarket and buy the stuff to make it? Hmm

HotAsSatansBalls · 12/07/2026 14:19

After wandering through the MLM desert only to find herself in another barren wasteland, maybe the Almighty has taken pity on Yawn and provided her with manna from heaven? It won’t last: he’ll smite her if he finds out she’s claiming to have manifested it herself.

YouOKHun · 12/07/2026 17:46

She’s not The Manifester, she’s a very naughty bot.

The UK Open Business and Business Builder rankings are on the FB page.

Rictus Bot isn't in the top 20 on either list, Headband is in both lists, the borings and the yawns aren't there either.

I'm banned from the FL Pages :( is it the usual suspects at the top or do we have some outliners? Do Tractor and 3Jags feature? Richard Burton's wife? Yawn's EXBFF? if you have time to cryptically transpose I'd like to know, thank you.

YouOKHun · 13/07/2026 21:36

Rictus claiming on FB that anyone can be as successful as her without social media. She claims she only coaches two of her vast team in using social media and social media is so often done badly by other bots business owners. Given that the only person who interacts with her FB is her own mother, who doesn’t even bother with Rictus’s insta, which is devoid of any comment, is she in a position to hold court on the subject?

The post has a background of an alleged conversation by message with one of her recruits who wants to know if they can build a business without clogging up their social media (it’s the clogging up of your garage and spare room you want to worry about). It’s probably a fictional message exchange à la Yawn but if it isn’t then it’s a fine example of saying exactly what your victim wants to hear in order to snare them.

I really hope she gets outed as the caravan dwelling Airbnb fraud she is. The only mercy is that not too many people are being influenced by her social media. However, Forever Living keeps handing her a microphone and I am sure she has tricked a few people at success days etc.

Last post about the dreadful Rictus tonight, I promise!

Firstly, the alleged former assistant HT has shared a photo of Violet Elizabeth in her easily identifiable school uniform - what TF is wrong with these people? Why doesn’t the AHT safeguarding and privacy training (that she will have had back in 2018) kick in? Increasingly I doubt whether she had the previous role she claims to have had.

Secondly, on insta, on her post about earning £30k a month I commented “amazing, do you really earn £30k every month? Well done”. No sarcasm, no negativity, no sign of botwatching on my profile yet for asking that question I have been instantly blocked. To me, the only rush to block a benign comment like that is if you know it’s a lie and you know it shouldn’t be on your social media.
