BOTWATCH 93! The latest in a long running anti MLM thread. We may be celebrating the demise of Forever Living MLM in the US but sadly MLM/network marketing is still pulling in victims using lies and manipulation … the botwatching continues …

@Crikeyalmighty Headband puts up with the instability and the drama and negative feedback because FLP has convinced her that undefined “success” is just around the corner and any doubt or negativity must be banished or she will fail. Then they drip feed her with the odd certificate or horrible branded gift.

I would be absolutely amazed if she makes £1200 a month as income and certainly not consistently but I bet she never does anything as negative as totting up what it’s costing her to earn money as an FBO.

I know - I’m busy doing my annual Ltd company accounts and looking at turnover against outgoings there isn’t that much corp tax due - but 70% of those outgoings are paying me and husband!! I don’t think this bunch ever look and think what’s my hourly rate working out at for effort involved

No, they don't. They certainly don't seem to understand the difference between 'income' and 'profit'. I don't suppose they calculate just how much of their own money they've spent on all the products they've bought for themselves either. Some of them are their own best customer.

I think what they don’t get is the business model at the top end in my opinion works exactly like this, it’s designed to rope people in buying for themselves initially an awful lot , so they don’t look like failures - hence they are selling a lot of product they would never otherwise have sold without retail premises and therefore they don’t actually care about how those sales are achieved or individual results - hence the focus on ‘recruitment ‘ etc as to them it’s just sales as each ‘recruit ‘ probably goes round buying a few hundreds pounds worth of stuff-

Someone has obviously said “pyramid scheme” to Rictus so she is rattling on along the lines of “all business are pyramid schemes” and “don’t call it a PS just because you don’t understand how it works”. For a former assistant head teacher with two Masters degrees, as she likes to remind us, she clearly can’t grasp the obvious. She says anyone can join after someone else and build a bigger better business whereas the properly employed have bosses who earn more than they do. This is not a good defence of her MLM.

OK Rictus, let’s see you build a bigger and better Forever Living business, one that isn’t heavily subsidised by sticking your ghastly house on AirBnB. Your little Covid bubble of promise has long since burst and it’s declining business as usual for bots like you. To add to her crimes she is now a showbiz mother and the next phase of Project Violet Elizabeth is launched as it is not enough to share every present opening and private moment on her open SM 🙄

To add to her woes there are no paying guests waiting to sit at the table she is crafting out of a piece of tree trunk. There’s just enough wood to make a life size cut out of Mr Rictus, creating a version with more personality and employability than the version she’s got now.

Spongebobette · 25/09/2026 17:06

Headband recruits women who can’t afford to have a hobby/pretend business. They get involved because they need money. She must know how impossible it is for someone joining now to make a profit. She’s as bad as all of the exploitative uplines

Headband blocked me on FB but -un- fortunately I can still see her in IG. She always makes out she's super successful, which is definitely not the case (as we know)

They all must know that the fragile bubble they are clinging on to is about to burst - No one reaches the ranks they used to, because MLM is fundamentally flawed.

HotAsSatansBalls · 25/09/2026 20:25

Yawn is still under the influence of the MLM Law of Reaction. She’s published a post with carefully-posed photos saying she is currently in a “chunky” phase and looking “puffy” due to water retention related to the biological process of building muscle. Yeah, right … And there we all were thinking the only reason she looks very different in Mrs Stickman’s unfiltered reels is because she’s been superimposing filtered shots of her her head (minus a couple of chins) on a sportswear model’s body in all her previous advertising photos. Stop lying, back-pedalling and manoeuvring, Yawn! 🙈

YouOKHun · 25/09/2026 21:01

The FLP bots are being told to do promotional videos of themselves emptying a sachet of what looks suspiciously like KY Jelly into their mouths. This is Forever Fiber Fusion (cheaper more credible sources of fibre are available) and the bots are delighted that with the extra fibre per over-priced sachet every one of them will be able to shit through the eye of a needle - you’ve got to have goals Huns!

I dread to think what the atmosphere at Arsehole House will be like when there is a gathering of bots who are their own best Fiber Fusion customer. I see, at last, a REAL business opportunity for Yawn - she can rent out her bot potty and expand into owning a whole herd of bot potties she rents out to Forever for their success days.

HotAsSatansBalls · 25/09/2026 23:28

The thought of a herd of Bot Potties made me titter and think of buggering about with the English translation of the words to JS Bach’s Cantata, “Sheep may safely graze”@YouOKHun.

🎼 Pots in pastures brown abiding
Safely with a shed do rest.
Cooled by stagnant waters lying
Pots in pastures brown abiding
Safely with a shed do rest.

Fibre Fusion doth Yawn feed them
Number twos shalt block and leave them,
There to dwell Forever blest.

Not sure what happens to my brain on a Friday …

Makes you wonder if she’s reading this thread!!!

We know she reads these threads, as do others like her who prey (or have preyed) on vulnerable people by selling them an impossible dream of multiple income streams, six-figure salaries, the promise of retirement after five years, a willable income, white Range Rovers and a Bot Potty if they sack the boss and join their team. As Del-boy said to Rodney, “This time next year, we’ll be millionaires!”

We’ve been visited by one or two bots over the years who have tried to get these threads banned. Obviously their manifesting skills aren’t up to much.

Intrepidobserver · 26/09/2026 07:46

The reality is yawn is packing on the weight and trying to spin it of as muscle building. Have a day off you silly woman.

HotAsSatansBalls · 26/09/2026 09:50

I imagine that’s what happens when you stop using weight loss injections.

Intrepidobserver · 26/09/2026 11:31

So now she's trying to say she's a weight lifting expert. Mind those awful cracked paving stones when walking into the shed, oh soz, cotswold stone pathway🤣🤣 she even lies about her crappy path. Jeez there really is no limit to her lies.

@HotAsSatansBalls someone sang Sheep May Safely Graze at my wedding many years ago. My brother was supposed to discreetly record the singer for her “portfolio” but he pressed the wrong button or summat so no recording. Now I have no way of checking what was actually sung and now I’m worried about where the holy water came from.

HotAsSatansBalls · 26/09/2026 13:33

😂😂 @YouOKHun Holy shit! That’s hilarious. I hope the water in the font was holy! The usual English mash-up of the German text describes the sheep being “Cooled by waters swiftly gliding” rather than being subjected to a bowl of stagnant water in the Bot Potty shed for hand-washing purposes.

I hope I’ve not ruined a beautiful piece of music for you. I will never be able to hear it again without the image of a flock of bot potties polluting my mind - maybe I should’ve mangled up Bach’s Coffee Cantata instead?

YouOKHun · 26/09/2026 14:21

@HotAsSatansBalls don't worry, given time I will eventually get over my worries about what was sung and sprinkled at my wedding.

I did actually use “herd” as the collective noun, not flock. Herd, as I am sure you know, is more often used for larger cloven hooved beasts and I think you should spend the rest of your weekend seeking out music featuring the Caribou and rework what you find into a song about Yawn and her bot potty.

Caribou rhymes with “loo” and “poo” so it shouldn’t be too tricky. It’s just a shame it doesn’t rhyme with “unqualified personal trainer” and “hygiene red flag”, though if you can work those in to your lyrics in a sensible way I’ll be impressed!

YouOKHun · 26/09/2026 14:24

I think Yawn has been on this thread very recently as mentioned upthread. There is a post about avoiding idiots and I think Botwatchers are the only ones looking at her content.

Meanwhile Techie’s insta is very quiet (quieter than usual?). I think they have decided they need to pursue other things whilst maintaining the BaB shopfront and attaching the “brand” to any desperate fad that comes along so it appears a going concern. Techie has probably been looking for a chance to back away and Yawn’s new obsession with increasing the demand for Orthopaedic surgeons in the Yawnsville area has given Techie the chance.

Now Yawn is sharing all she knows about lifting heavy weights I propose the brand should be changed to Build HERNIA.

Spongebobette · 26/09/2026 15:05

Ha ha ha haaa Build HERnia ha ha haaa

HotAsSatansBalls · 26/09/2026 15:50

@YouOKHun vocal music featuring caribou is as rare as bots’ sense. I should’ve realised the collective noun for bot potties is a herd - it rhymes with turd after all. I can imagine looking out of the PT shed window to see herds of bot potties, sweeping majestically …

HotAsSatansBalls · 25/09/2026 09:17

Oh dear! Mrs Stickman’s reel is almost on a par with Roomie’s unfortunate photos in Dallas. Looks like Yawn can’t afford the weight loss drugs any more. Her advertising posts are clearly photoshopped to hell, as we all suspected - she’s such a fibber!

I've forgotten who Mrs Stickman is, anyone provide me some clues please Grin.
