I never leave mlm groups I get invited to on fb, and I’m sure the people who start the groups are really annoyed and confused by why I stay despite never contributing or buying anything, but the thing is I just find it so interesting to observe how these people peddle their wares

#there’s this one group i’m in currently that’s a scentsy group. my best friend added me to it because she’s a bleeding heart #she ‘doesn’t support mlms’ but ‘buys from these people to help them out’ and i’m like.. you are doing the opposite of helping them #but anyway. this group is run by a girl we were friends with in secondary school #and idk i just find it kind of fascinating because i can always ALWAYS tell when she wrote her posts vs when her upline or someone else #in the company wrote a post lol #basically if everything is spelled correctly and there are no typos it’s not her #i also tend to notice if someone else wrote the post it’s a lot more upbeat and there’s more technical language in the post #i also sometimes see a weird tonal shift. it’ll be like ‘the whatever bar is fragranced with freesias; coconut and balls to evoke a summer’s #day ✨’ and then there’s a random aside from this girl like ‘omg sounds lush right?????’#no liz i’m not even sure what that would smell like. and why is it blue. you know and i know and we know none of those things are blue #i also really like how her approach to marketing is sometimes to be absolutely honest even if it kind of makes the products sound garbage #which.. don’t get me wrong i love some transparency #but i feel like that approach is better if you’re reviewing something rather than selling it. like as your livelihood #for example she reviewed a bar recently that’s called espresso something and said ‘it doesn’t smell like coffee. i like it.. i don’t love it #okay and you’re trying to get me to buy this?? girl.#i mean i guess it comes off less fake than if she loved EVERYTHING but lots of the times when she doesn’t write the posts #everything is like ‘this is the best product EVER’ ‘new and exclusive’ ‘can’t miss this sale’ etc #so it just drives home that that stuff is fake. whilst in reality this person doesn’t recommend some of these products #i also don’t love seeing her in real time spending her actual money on this garbage but that’s just me #i spend a lot of my time wondering how do people in mlms keep up with it? that’s the one thing that makes me doubt if everybody is losing #money. because if you lose.. for example £5k to an mlm; how did you GET 5k to spend on the mlm in the first place #i don’t even have 5k to begin with. it doesn’t make sense to me #is it all just credit card debt? or do people make a little cash and then immediately blow it on those same products. and if so WHY #so that’s my long winded rant about why i stay in these groups lol #honestly it’s not even entertainment at this point. i just want to see if she’ll ever leave #personal
