can we just talk about how relatable it is to watch daytime tv all the time as an undergrad? me, ordering hot wings every day to cure my hangover with dr. phil in my room, until the wing place got closed down for being a drug front.
The MLM structure is so cult-like. Rather than research concepts & facts yourself, just ask your upline or mentor for their opinion. So predatory & brainwashy
Yep. It basically is a cult. Cause when you question it people get horrible. Act like youre destroying their life for questioning their job. Edit/addition: which is one of the reasons i feel like mlms are so popular in cult circles and fundamentalist areas.
I feel like the whole "every business has someone who breaks the rules" excuse doesn't/shouldn't work with MLMs anymore, because so many different people across so many different MLM companies consistently get caught doing the exact same things. False income and health claims have become the rule rather than the exception, and that's the point at which the companies themselves are to blame.
The fact that the reps are the actual customers is what really threw me for a loop with mlms. It all revolves around how much money each person spends towards inventory, so even if you have little to no actual customer sales, it doesn’t really reflect all that poorly on you or your up line. As long as you keep feeding money into the company, they really couldn’t care less whether or not you even make your investment back, let alone any real profit.
In the early 1990's I had an ex who had someone try to recruit him/us to Amway. Not sure if they are still doing this, but they were attempting to get him sucked into this idea that you should buy everything from them ( they were into everything from supplements, and cleaning solutions, to furniture sales at the time) because, in their words, you were buying from yourself, and essentially paying yourself. He nearly fell for the scheme, until I showed him how you are losing money and that if you pay 4 times what an item is worth, you are losing money, because you get a tiny portion compared to what your upline gets. I told him you pay yourself better by getting furniture from a consignment shop and saving the money. I'd love for you to explore two areas with MLM's I haven't seen much about, but are very crucial to their destructiveness. 1, they often prey on couples ( we were invited to a convention that pushed that couples are the best way to do this "business"), and 2, the premise that they try to "sell" that you are paying yourself by buying the products. It's insane but people fall for it, obviously, or these businesses wouldn't exist. Thanks!
For me it's simple. MLM recruiters wouldn't bring in outsiders if their product was good on its own. Why share an opportunity if it'll lessen your profits? They know that the products are a smoke screen. Stay away kids.
Emma, just have to say you’re my new favourite antimlm content source. Your voice is so soothing, your humour is my style and even your face is relaxing to look at haha. Love your content! ❤️
Isn't she the best? I could talk to her for hours lol. I love how she's not afraid to talk with her hands, joke with herself, and smile plenty. 😁 and I know this is super weird but I love her ears?! 😂 she's like a lovely little sprite 🧚🏼♀️😛
I went with a friend of mine and his mother to an MLM presentation once, before I knew anything about MLMs. I told the presenters that I would think about it and never got back to them.
After binging Münecat’s videos TH-cam brought me here lol I really enjoy content from individuals against MLM, such as yourself and Münecat, because it has helped me have a better understanding of MLMs and pyramids and know what to look out for. Thank you for the educational information and keep it up! Btw Judge Judy is the best!
I once asked the organisers of a MLM scheme, “If I joined how many other ‘franchisees’ were already in my area?”. The fact that they couldn’t answer, and basically said it didn’t matter and I would make money anyway, should tell you everything you need to know.
Its arbitration not court...she was a real judge in NY family court before she was on tv...I love the show shes one of my idols BUT theyve waived their right to go to court when they go on the show and they both get paid for airing their drama
Aha thank you, that's right- and they both agree to her arbitration ruling before the show. So I guess it's like to small claims disputes what Jeremy Kyle is to couples counselling
My ex wife spent tens of thousands on MLMs. She tried monavie, amway and the classic, Avon. The hardest part was that we were young and poor at the time with a new baby and one low wage factory job between us. There was nothing I could say to convince her that it was a scam. We never quite got out of the hole from those… the fact that MLMs are still legal astounds me.
This is how I found your channel now I'm binge watching all your videos. Glad it caught my eye because I looove Judy Judy and anti-MLM content and together they are just *chefs kiss*👌🏼~~💋
So enjoyed this video Emma. I am currently looking for SOMEBODY to take on Stampin' Up!. This seems to be the MLM that no one wants to touch ("...but they sell crafty stuff!!...groan) This company doesn't care about their "independent demonstrators", are so overpriced and non stop "retires" product so that demos have to constantly replace their stuff in order to even attempt to stay afloat. Please...PLEASE!!! SU is in most countries, and it sucks in every single one. Thanks and God Bless (....and yes, I WAS a demo. I know for sure that they SUCK!)
Articulate analysis of MLM via Judge Judy. This is a new topic to me, so definitely walked away more informed. Would love to hear your thoughts on marketing and public affairs in general, as they are applied both commercially and politically, and how the average person can navigate. Your content makes me think a bit of Chomsky's, Manufacturing Consent.
I have gone to a few MLM Seminars, and every time it left a bad taste in my mouth. I basically had to screw over people to "achieve" the status the speaker has no qualms with how many people he's screwed over. For every "Cody" that kinda establishes a base and gets their profit pulled, there's so many who pay in, get nothing, and the top of the pyramid have no remorse in grabbing the money that is given freely as far as legality. Thankfully I in my mind called bullshit and just chalked it up to two hours wasted.
Mary Kay is one of the biggest MLM schemes out there. They say they are empowering and helping women, but the CEO is a man (as are more than half of their executive board), and they push hard to bring in new recruits. They train their folks specifically on how to persuade possible recruits to run up their credit cards, or better yet, take a mary kay sponsored credit card. I lost $3k. They teach their members how to respond to women who tell them they don't have enough money to invest, and make them feel bad for not investing in themselves.They pressure members to buy product ahead of time (instead of ordering after parties) because they would quickly make it back (except for the product the member uses for samples) Also, they get a car too... BUT the member has to maintain their sales quota, their recruitment quota, and their team's sales quota. MK can take that car away at any time. They don't care about women, they just want their money.
The horrible thing about MLM's is that at a glance they SEEM like a legit business. IE: "Hey look you want money fast right? Tell you what, buy a bunch of candy bars from me and then you can go around and sell those to people. Those people pay you directly and they get the candy bars RIGHT then so that's money in your pocket! No need for you to wait for us to cut you a check because you are your own boss!" And now they got you nodding along and you are like, ya okay that seems fair. I invest some of my money in products and then I sell the product for profit. But then once you start nibbling on the bait they are all like, "But why to go around door to door asking people to buy your candy bars. You are the boss now. What you want to do is recruit other people that will buy a whole BUNCH of your candy bars so they can do the leg work of selling them." and they get you nodding to this idea because what's wrong with that right? I mean if you decided to open up a candy store you would, of course, hire employees to sell your candy. But they just sort of handwave over that if you had opened a candy store your employees wouldn't have had to pay to get hired on. They also like to gloss over another factor. If Bob tries to recruit me to buy Bob's candy bars and resell them, and I'm expected to recruit Steve to buy my candy bars to resell them, why didn't I just direct Steve to Bob? Why in the world am I playing this strange middle man here. Steve's not my employee but his own boss, but I still profit off of him because he's also my customer? If this were a legit business it might be Bob recruits me to sell candy bars. Sure perhaps I buy stock from Bob, and so when I sell candy bars I keep the profit instantly. Bob says to me, we don't have enough people selling candy bars in this area, so if you see any good people send them my way and I'll get them set up. So I meet Steve and give him Bob's business card. And that should be the end of it. If Steve decides to join the company as a candy bar salesman, he gets his stock from the source, not from me.
Anyone aware of the “direct marketing” schemes? Very similar to this, except people invest their time more or less, rather than money up front. Same multi level pyramid, same promise of “owning your own company,” etc. Less discussed but equally insidious.
@@evanhines9723 had to google that, but yes it fits the “direct marketing” paradigm very well. It’s basically cold in person sales where people get paid dirt commission, but put up with because they’ve been duped into thinking it’s a fast track to success. Really the only way to “succeed” turns out to be duping other people.
I was part of two MLMs, but in my defense I knew nothing about them years ago. CutCo was my first one, and boy was that a serious stress, then I went with Legal Shield, which in itself wasn't AS bad, but was still rather stressful when it came to the recruitment parts (some of us just are NOT good at contacting and selling things to people, especially when we do not like doing that at all, and this is what CutCo pushed for us to do for an HOUR at the office, despite the fact that some of us had things to do after those annoying ass meetings). Now, I tell anyone I know to avoid MLMs like the cancer they are. Last or two I overheard a friend saying she was buying from another friend, and that she was also considering joining her team. The team? Fucking LULAROE! I have never yelled "No" to someone so fast and loud in my life, and I could NOT share enough videos of that scam to her to get her to understand it. Her friend left Lularoe too, but she lost a lot of her money through it in the end.
My mother bought cutco knives off of a door to door salesman. Never knew they were an MLM until eons later. Stellar knives tho, lasted over 10 years. Poor guy was awkward as heck, and now that I know about cutco I will never ever buy from them.
@@crkinjiraretaai their knives are actually really good, and they should last you forever with the lifetime warranty, but yeah, their door to door salesman are poor victims who are forced to do things they sometimes just can’t do.
@@frisbyart they make it difficult to claim that warranty lol. That said, I avoid any business I can that has predatory practices, even if the product is valuable. I cant always avoid them, but when I can I will.
I was doing keyword research for my next AntiMLM video (very small channel atm), and your video for this popped up…I can’t believe I wasn’t subscribed to you already!
Older video, but I just found your channel and I'm enjoying listening to your videos while I'm at work. I actually got to watch this one, and I gotta say, not many can pull off the blue eye look. It highlights your expressions though, and the cat eye shaping is awesome! Kinda has that comic book super hero look lol.
Really? I’m interested in seeing that show. Where can I find it? I’m a Paparazzi Consultant, I refuse to build a team. I like the earrings. I mostly give my jewelry to church free clothing drives. I like giving away jewelry for Jesus. I do make money on it, but very little.
This isn’t an mlm that’s in this case. It’s a pyramid scheme. Which is worse. I was never forced to buy inventory when I was in Beach Body. I never had to buy $500+ of product to then go and sell to make it back. The sales came directly from beach body and we made money on what we sold as well as what our downline sold. Yes I bought some product but it was the product I used because I wanted to and was already buying it. I never expected it to be a job or make a ton of money. I did it because it was fun at the time and the efforts I put in helped motivate me in my health goals. I enjoyed the community.
I would LOVE to hear you talk about anything to do with Q sciences! A big account I follow on IG started posting about an amazing “financial opportunity” and was making big financial claims about what other people made. I dm’d her asking about the income disclosure statement but I didn’t get a response, but she doesn’t include it in any posts and I feel like she’s becoming manipulated into it! I haven’t heard much on the mlm but I’d love to hear your thoughts on it
@@EmmaThorneVideos Ugh, my Aunt recently signed up with Q sciences, after having been with Plexus for a few years. I had finally gotten her to give up on any hope of me joining Plexus, now it's starting all over again. I looked it up and yeah, more anti-doctor, anti-medicine bs.
aaaaaahhhh my r/IAmVerySmart step-dad bought into that dumb Goji juice MLM back in 2003! I still laugh about it now, he was such an idiot but thought he knew better than eeeeeeeeveryone else smh
That feeling when you scrolled passed this video so fast you had to quickly scroll back up to make sure you didn’t just pass by a video called “Judge Judy Hates Milfs.”
I was offered one of this scams by a university TEACHER who told me in class he wanted to make me a business proposal, I thought it was something serious since the class was about shaping public policy (studying law). When I arrived at the Starbucks there was another person who gave me the whole spiel, I didn’t know why but I knew it was some sort of a scam, I said I’d think about it and ended up declining but I never really knew why, just a feeling.
The side business - motivation materials, subscriptions to "tape of the week" programs, etc. are often where the money is in these scams. Technically, the MLM itself is "legit", but the materials programs exist within the "upline" business - and there is enormous pressure to subscribe to these programs to "ensure that you build the business" successfully *wink*.
If you haven't watched Knowing Better's video about MLM. Basically they have to keep an 80/20 rule where 80% is customers and 20% is people in the company. If you've got too much from employees you're illegal.
Wait, did you refer to Canadian Broadcasting Corp when you spoke about exposing MLM? If so, that's fantastic to hear but very surprised. Was it Marketplace?
Judge Judy is actually arbitration rather than small claims court, it's just presented as a court room to make better TV. The reason people go on Judge Judy is because the show pays for whatever is awarded by Judy, so the respondent in the case didn't have to pay any money themself.
MLM is what Shannon Watts was doing before her husband murdered her. According to the investigators, the financial strain of supporting her MLM business was a contributing factor that caused Chris to snap and murder her and his children. I am not saying it's a good reason, but it's part of the plethora of terrible decisions that the Watts family made, which led to tragedy.
Instead of buying 5k into a mlm, when you could buy into apple or Microsoft or another Giant. Best part? You have to do nothing! Even if its only a share or two, you will 90% likely be able to sell at a profit after a few months. Imagine the profit after 12 years! All for the low low cost of the same buy in, and ZERO work!
can we just talk about how relatable it is to watch daytime tv all the time as an undergrad? me, ordering hot wings every day to cure my hangover with dr. phil in my room, until the wing place got closed down for being a drug front.
Daytime TV is all we can afford 😅
I relate to you Savy. My show was America's Next Top Model and any reality tv love show on Netflix.
Well, that was an unexpected ending! 😭😂😂
Undergrad was when I first gave up TV. :-P
Jerry Springer for me. Lol

"Just because all of the bad apples re doing exactly the same thing in the same way and claim it's company policy doesn't mean anything"
Love for you to do a video on bomb party lol
Oh no, why did i think that the thumbnail was saying Judge Judy hates "Men-Loving Men" and not "Multi-Level Marketing"
I thought the same thing.
Same here 😂
Wouldn't be a surprise from her tbh
No, she hates Multi Level Marketing Scams . .
@@AzhidaReminiec9999 Lol That's obvious from watching the video.
I thought this was talking about men love men then i realised it's talking about the evil companies
Oh my god, "Judge Judy DESTROYS gay, bi, pan men" 😂😂
Judge Judy OBLITERATES Marxist-Leninist-Maoists!
Glad my bi butt wasn't the only one 😂
I was so confused.
Oh my god I was so confused why was everyone so happy about it

Deadass thought that it meant Men Loving men at first, and I was confused as HELL.
It’s insane how overpriced these products are. I take a daily multiple vitamin, decent quality one, for about $9 for a 90 day supply.
In the early 1990's I had an ex who had someone try to recruit him/us to Amway. Not sure if they are still doing this, but they were attempting to get him sucked into this idea that you should buy everything from them ( they were into everything from supplements, and cleaning solutions, to furniture sales at the time) because, in their words, you were buying from yourself, and essentially paying yourself.

Hi Emma, 44 year old American here. I just wanted to drop a comment saying I really enjoy your content and commentary.
You had me at "Judge Judy"
Emma, just have to say you’re my new favourite antimlm content source. Your voice is so soothing, your humour is my style and even your face is relaxing to look at haha. Love your content! ❤️
Thank you Shannon that's so sweet 😍

I did it because it was fun at the time and the efforts I put in helped motivate me in my health goals. I enjoyed the community.
I love your eye makeup! So bright! 🖤
I would LOVE to hear you talk about anything to do with Q sciences! A big account I follow on IG started posting about an amazing “financial opportunity” and was making big financial claims about what other people made. I dm’d her asking about the income disclosure statement but I didn’t get a response, but she doesn’t include it in any posts and I feel like she’s becoming manipulated into it! I haven’t heard much on the mlm but I’d love to hear your thoughts on it
I'm looking into it! I'm pretty confident they don't publish a compensation plan, which is both a red flag and disappointing ):
@@EmmaThorneVideos Ugh, my Aunt recently signed up with Q sciences, after having been with Plexus for a few years. I had finally gotten her to give up on any hope of me joining Plexus, now it's starting all over again. I looked it up and yeah, more anti-doctor, anti-medicine bs.
aaaaaahhhh my r/IAmVerySmart step-dad bought into that dumb Goji juice MLM back in 2003! I still laugh about it now, he was such an idiot but thought he knew better than eeeeeeeeveryone else smh
Love Judge Judy!
Omg I’m watching an MLM add before the video putting down MLMs this is gold!
MLMs are predatory.
I was a afraid for a second Judy hated gay men and I was like oh no
That feeling when you scrolled passed this video so fast you had to quickly scroll back up to make sure you didn’t just pass by a video called “Judge Judy Hates Milfs.”
The defence to an MLM is to not be greedy.
Emma, I love how your eye shadow accentuates you eye color.
I was offered one of this scams by a university TEACHER who told me in class he wanted to make me a business proposal, I thought it was something serious since the class was about shaping public policy (studying law). When I arrived at the Starbucks there was another person who gave me the whole spiel, I didn’t know why but I knew it was some sort of a scam, I said I’d think about it and ended up declining but I never really knew why, just a feeling.
Living for this video and appreciating your background decor 🐸💬🐢📝
One thing that really shuts the huns down is bringing up the fact that the triple k gang operated on the same model.😂
I love your eyeshadow!!
Completely unrelated, but oh my gosh, I love your shirt 😍😊💕
Great video!!!
Oh my higher being, you possess a jittery liquid tube from Nathan Pyle's Strange Planet!
Yes!!!! I was thinking this the whole video and hoping someone else noticed lol
The side business - motivation materials, subscriptions to "tape of the week" programs, etc. are often where the money is in these scams. Technically, the MLM itself is "legit", but the materials programs exist within the "upline" business - and there is enormous pressure to subscribe to these programs to "ensure that you build the business" successfully *wink*.
The title made me thing that judge Judy hates gays and I got so scared lol
Imagine my surprise when I thought it meant Men Loving Men.
It's Shaklee, Amway, IT'S A PYRAMID SCHEME. Unless you're 2nd or 3rd tier, nobody makes bank, and perhaps only sufficient cash.
Omg, I love this eye look 😮
If you haven't watched Knowing Better's video about MLM. Basically they have to keep an 80/20 rule where 80% is customers and 20% is people in the company. If you've got too much from employees you're illegal.
The sort of television I watched when I was in undergrad. ... An odd qualifier Emma......
Great coffeeshop idea, Emma, NunYo Business.
in the US, scheme has a more sinister con-artist implication
Wait, did you refer to Canadian Broadcasting Corp when you spoke about exposing MLM? If so, that's fantastic to hear but very surprised. Was it Marketplace?
Love everything about this title! 🤣🥰
Judge Judy is actually arbitration rather than small claims court, it's just presented as a court room to make better TV. The reason people go on Judge Judy is because the show pays for whatever is awarded by Judy, so the respondent in the case didn't have to pay any money themself.
F yeah. I keep locks on my bridge
OH I thought it was MLM like Men loving Men oh damn that makes more sense
Love this, and love your accent! - New subscriber from Montana, USA 🇺🇸😁
I adore the eyeshadow
Thought people were going to say the opposite
I want to buy a shirt like that. Those frogs are awesome.
Judge Judy the real one
Hi Emma, new fan! Keep up the great work 👍!
MLM is what Shannon Watts was doing before her husband murdered her. According to the investigators, the financial strain of supporting her MLM business was a contributing factor that caused Chris to snap and murder her and his children. I am not saying it's a good reason, but it's part of the plethora of terrible decisions that the Watts family made, which led to tragedy.
Dived into your older videos and omg I love your eye nake up, well make up in general I Waa drawn here by tge whole judge Judy ripping into mlms
Instead of buying 5k into a mlm, when you could buy into apple or Microsoft or another Giant. Best part? You have to do nothing! Even if its only a share or two, you will 90% likely be able to sell at a profit after a few months. Imagine the profit after 12 years!
All for the low low cost of the same buy in, and ZERO work!
I want that mug
