MLMs have been coming to my attention, recently. I listened to a podcast episode on Navigating Narcissisim, about a person’s experience with Lularoe. It was eye opening Your post is a great synopsis of all the important points to make with MLMs, and the underlying dynamics of cult or cult-like groups. Thanks for writing this!

Thanks! There are several podcasts which explore these toxic dynamics--IndoctriNation, Conspirituality, Trust Me. I'm glad it's becoming a popular topic. So much energy and good intentions are swallowed by the abyss.

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll look into them. I see you’ve returned from a long hiatus. I understand. Hope you write more pieces. I look forward to reading them! Not just this topic. I like your writing style. Best to you!

Yep. It’s really very simple: To make money honestly, you have to be adding value for the consumer, however you derive it. Salesmanship of an overpriced, average product, doesn’t do that.
