I've fallen down the Youtube rabbit hole of following my first "influencer," Hannah Alonzo, who offers anti-pyramid scheme content. Anyone who exposes the cult craziness of Amway, etc., is okay in this Curmudgeon's book! #influencer #hannahalonzo #antimlm #pyramidscheme

Is it just me or does JD Vance have big multi-level marketing vibes? #USPol #JDVance #antiMLM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6MwGeOm8iI&pp=ygUham9obiBvbGl2ZXIgbXVsdGktbGV2ZWwgbWFya2V0aW5n

A memoir from a former MLM rep. The insight into MLMs was interesting as was reading about a life so different from my own. The research however was surface level as was the reflection on her own privilege. Hey, Hun by Emily Lynn Paulson https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/7390fd11-496f-411f-b3e5-7024a854af51 #bookstodon #bookreview #memoir #antimlm #multilevelmarketing
“Millions of people in America participate in MLMs, and while the people at the top make billions and wield a lot of power, roughly 99 percent of the people who join up don’t make — and often lose — money.” #PyramidScheme #antiMLM

Every multi-level marketing (MLM) company is kind of like a turducken: a pyramid scheme inside a cult inside a fraud. #MultiLevelMarketing #antiMLM #cults #fraud
“coercive control disproportionately impacts women.” This is true of coercive control in MLMs too. Most MLM members are women. https://globalnews.ca/news/10084970/domestic-abuse-coercive-control-bill/ #domesticabuse #coercivecontrol #antiMLM
So until right now in my bio I had that I'm #antiMLM which has been brought to my attention is commonly also used for anti #MenLovingMen, which I'm definitely not. I am #AntiMultiLevelMarketing. I apologise to anyone who may have been hurt by that, and I've changed it now. I fully support LGBTQIA+ and want to be the best ally I can. 🌈
@vlrny I've no idea if you're interested in this kind of thing, but I'm a massive fan of #AntiMLM creators, and Hannah Alonzo on YouTube has great content and has an extremely calming voice. She is very eloquent in her explanations of things too. I highly recommend as someone who enjoys a good joint and facilitating content.
The best part about doing Just Wall-To-Wall #MLM Jokes Month: The Storyline is the commenters going "wait, X is exaggerated, right? They don't literally say Y. You've gotta be making up Z."
No such luck, folks. It's all pulled from IRL horror stories. Some of these scenarios, the companies have full-on scripts for.

My video on the history of the Amway tools cult scam has been gaining traction. I know because several people have contacted me about it recently and I'm also starting to get flak from rightwing MLM cultists. That means, watch and spread the crap out of it. It's a fascinating story of greed, power and corruption.

Hey, #Webcomics Mastodon, Leif & Thorn needs some one-off designs for background characters.
Anybody here who wants a cameo/shoutout for your comic, and has a "would definitely get involved in a pyramid scheme" character I can borrow?
Part of my comment to the diet and nutrition guy in my previous post:
Guess what? My "nutritional status" didn't do a goddamn thing to ease my depression.
Guess what did? Medications.
Wanna know what else I tried? Yoga. Tai chi. Naturopathy. Chiropractic. Reiki. Massage therapy. Shamanic journeying. Essential oils. Homeopathy. And even an unfortunate year in an evangelical fundamentalist Christian church.

So, this dude on LinkedIn commented on a post where someone was talking about their depression with some BS thing like "Nutrients and diet can solve all your mental health problems."
No. No, it can't. And if anyone comes at you giving you some bullshit about how their sleazy MLM supplements, essential oils, flower essences, or whatever, could cure you of your mental illness so you're no longer "a slave to Big Pharma," tell them to fuck right off with that shit. #mentalhealth #antimlm
For over 50 years, a tiny elite at the top of a giant pyramid of grift have been enriching themselves by selling "motivational tools," mostly cassette tapes, to Amway distributors. This is the story of how this cult began and who profited from it. An incredible story with roots in American business history and conservatism. #histodons #antiMLM #cults

My newest historical video, months in the making, is about the little-known story of one of the biggest and most profitable grifts in American #history, the infamous Amway "tools" business. This bizarre organization, a cult really, was started by two men in the 1960s and ultimately had a huge but stealthy impact on U.S. politics. It's long, but check it out! #histodons #antiMLM

speaking of shady companies, i am an #antimlm supporter and thus i yeet this video for public awareness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgiyhNjzU3o
It's a national holiday (in my country)! It is time to take pictures of my handmade items and listen to #antimlm YouTube videos. I fell into this rabbit hole 2 years ago and it's fascinating.
