MLM to be specific is a business dealing with a network of people and through this, they move their products which is a must to avoid being categorize as a get rich quick or money laundering scheme but technically, it is.

Its selling dream and charging unsuspecting people with exorbitant membership fee and monthly maintenance for a product which is so cheap and worthless. No difference with ponzi scheme mechanism but with products to legalize it.

This scheme only benefits the top level ones and never the lower level ones. Go do statistics on how many % out of the total members does actually earn. Infact dont be surprised if i u realize on average, only about 3% are earning as much as they claim and most companies even resort to 'create' a role-model who is made millionaire by monthly salary and not by his network as he claim, all so he can market the brand better.

For the majority who are deemed not performing, MLM usual tactic is to get those a brain washing session and blame them for not hard working enough even after the poor dudes has recruited 10 friends but unfortunately tht still doesnt qualify him for something.

From these sessions u get new extremely desperate under performing poor dudes who will do anything to increase their sales with their new false believe. I have a friend who invested a few thousand to join a damn famous mlm scheme but unable to earn much. Guess what, he end up paying another few thousand to jump a level up and increase their earning %. All by borrowing from loan shark. He even encouraged his targets who are mostly students to do the same and thus, it came out in the newspaper! Ahlongs doing funny stuffs to students from a particular college who cant pay up.

No wonder people are allergic the moment they hear mlm because its the best friend and family breaker especially people who joined those mlm with huge "investment".

And to make matters worse, the mlm people reacted negatively from this facts and they will go around and slam the majority of people who are anti-mlm and thus, bringing down their already decreasing business potential.
