13 People Who Are Not Here For Your Pyramid Schemes
Even if you haven't received a thoughtful invite yourself, there is no question someone close to you has been hit with a DM with an invitation to join a pyramid scheme. They come from our former friends, our distant relatives, and even the commenters on these articles (seriously, don't click on any of those links about earning $15,000 a month posted by an illiterate bot). Whether they're attempting to sell leggings, eyelashes or Herbalife, these poor souls actually think they are the CEOs of their own company, despite never seeing actual profit themselves. They seem undeniably proud of what they're doing, and they have no remorse in trying to attract more people into their ridiculous schemes.
You might as well buy an NFT, because you're never gonna see that money again. Below are 15 of the funniest posts submitted to the subreddit /r/AntiMLM where people openly mock the cringeworthy networking messages they've received from random moms and former high school classmates.

The easiest way to tell if you are going to make money is just ask yourself 2 questions: "Are you trying to recruit your own competition?" and "Can this be sold at a store/amazon/ebay instead of chasing down people to recruit?" If the answer is yes you are in a pyramid scheme. The owner of the McDonalds down the street does not recruit another franchise owner to open a Mcdonald's one street over, that'd be directly hiring competition. You are not even a franchise owner in a MLM, you are just a trickle of the money line that only goes to the top (The people that started the MLM).
The product in the MLM scheme is what keeps it legal, other wise it is a direct pyramid scheme. Many times it's a snake oil (essential oils cured my son's autism, etc), because a snake oil makes it sound like a deal too good to be in stores.
Take any money you were going to invest in a MLM and go to your local community college, online paid course, etc, and take a business 101 course. If you are not in on an MLM at the VERY beginning, (before its even known about), you already lost.

I've seen a few spam comments on here with the "4,000 a week at home" bullshit. I went to a MLM meeting in 2010 not knowing what it was (it was some super fruit MLM bullshit) and they acted like cult members.
MLMs use cult tactics and I saw it first hand. That's how they get people to stay loyal and committed even when they have loads of stock they can't sell and no-one who wants to join in their down-line.

I am like 75% positive that not a single damn user on this website can relate to this.

It might be because I'm tired but I have no idea what the fuck this page is even about.

It's about MLMs (Mult-Level Marketing) which is basically just a legal pyramid scheme. How they can stay in business is a mystery, because, in a just society, they would be outlawed.
