no offense to you, but the best part of this video was your kitty adamantly trying to get your attention and you trying to ignore him. hes a georgous baby ❤️ (it cheered me up)
Zeke is burdened with a glorious purpose and he will not be silenced! A LLR store in a hospital flabbergasts me but I can see it. MLMs are blowing up among my coworker nurses. 😳
I just realized I've also seen a strange clothing store in a hospital. I bet it was LLR! It was at a rehab facility where I went for speech therapy, so it did not have overnight patients. The tiny gift shop had a small section of clothing that didn't belong there, very strange. Many of the patients who go there are elderly and/or have mobility problems, so they would be a good selling target.
One thing my mom has always said "if they were really making money that easy, you think they'd want everyone to know? People don't easily share success, and to strangers at that!"
Hello from Charlotte NC.. ..You mentioned LuLaRoe. I was actually in a Goodwill Store near the NC/SC state line just a couple of days ago. I was shocked when I walked in and there were two FULL racks of brand new LuLaRoe garments....Brand new, tags and all.... It was painfully obvious that someone had just thrown in the towel and donated what was left of their inventory. It was actually kind of sad because I wondered how much money this person must have lost before they just gave up ad donated their remaining inventory.
@@blaineyeamlak you mentioned Herbalife...just 2 days ago I was in my local thrift store (.50 day...lol) and a woman walked up to me and handed me her "business " card Herbalife stamped all over it...it's huge here in the Houston tx area also...they target our Latina community hard...it's sad..these lovely women could do so much better with their own business
@@lifeofatruckerswife oh geez, I’m in San Antonio so not far from you, I PRAYYY I do not get approached by any mlm huns, I am very approachable but very non confrontational as well 😩
Omg Hannah - quick LuLaRoe story. A friend of mine gave me some bags of clothes that her rich sister was going to drop off at Goodwill, to see if any of it would be usable as inventory for me on Poshmark. I actually got a really nice North Face jacket out of it that sold within an hour of listing. But I also got A LOT of LuLaRoe Tall & Curvy Leggings, shirts & a cardigan. This was JUST before I became anti-MLM. I was originally going to list all of the leggings individually at a decent price point for each. Then I happened to watch LuLaRich, so instead I listed them all as a bundle for dirt cheap. When I tell you they sold FAST. 😐 At least I got them for free, so what I made was all profit. But the amount of LuLaRoe I see at thrift stores is shocking. People are just giving it away now.
OMG! I love Zeke. He's so talkative and beautiful. 😀 And you're lucky he haven't learned how to open your door yet. 😃 I have adopted some sort of a criminal hooligan of a cat this time. When I woke up next to her the first couple of times after kicking her out of my bedroom the night before for bad behavior, I have realized that she knows how to jump on my doorknob to open the door. Cats are such a characters. It's impossible not to love them, even the bratty ones like mine. Lol
My little Newton loves Zeke and completely agrees with the passionate speech that Kitty King shares with you and us!! Newton will start his song at bedtime. He goes into each room to tuck us all in, give his opinion of the day, then picks his human of the night to sleep on our necks. It is his world and we just live in it!! #antimlmcats4life Thank you & Zeke for the video. ❤
I'm just like the girl who immediately saw that MLMs we're pyramid schemes. A friend of mine was in Mary Kay and she got me to sign up. I did it after attending one of her parties and since it was my first time ever putting on makeup, and I liked it (probably because I never wore makeup before lol), I decided to sign up to get the kit and the 50% off all products. Of course they told me that this was fine, but then her upline kept showing up on campus to meet with me about why I wasn't having a party. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I was an 18 year old in college. I literally kept telling her, "because I don't want to that's not why I signed up, and I told you that." But I kept getting pressure to come to their meetings, have parties, see if friends were interested etc. And then I was like, oh my god this is a pyramid scheme. And I've been mad that other people don't see this so clearly. The anti MLM movement has been my validation for years and years of frustration 🤣.
I was in Mary Kay for a minute. They call people like you PUs (personal users) and they literally say it like pew/peugh, you stink. So rude. PUs don’t make their upline any money and don’t recruit so they don’t like them.
You are the sweetest face of the anti mlm movement! I love your calm and considerate commentary and information sharing. I already know how bad mlms are so I just come back for the horror stories and your awesome content! Would love to see a collab with you Savannah Marie and mack attack! And Chelsea ✌
I have a Zeke, too. His name is Ernie. He waits until we are in bed. We don't let the cats in the room at night. Then he runs around the house, singing the song of his people, usually around 2 am.😠
Mine waits until my husband walks out the door for work at 7am and the obnoxiously demands to be fed until I get up and lock him in the bathroom for another hour or two so I can get a decent sleep 🥲
Story 1: As a Christian I find it extra gross that these particular huns used this couples’ faith as an in to try to suck them into the so called “opportunity.” All these folks wanted to do was make friends at church, and this is what they get?? Yuck 🤢 “I had a vision from God that you are going to join my MLM!” I can’t decide wether to laugh or cry at that one…. 🤦♀️
Same. I’m Episcopalian and I can tell the story-writer is from a different branch of Christianity, but I’m really surprised that the church would allow that to go on. Aside from the damage it can do to the people who are recruited it’s so toxic for that church’s community.
As someone who was addicted to anti-MLM content last year, I was surprised that I didn't come across your channel until now. And as a cat dad of 2, I'll admit that Zeke sealed the deal to me subscribing just now, lol Also, I really appreciate sharing the story of the lady who was essentially bullied into buying products just to leave her alone. As I'm someone who tends to have issues being assertive myself, I found that it helped to play through my head what I'd say while watching these videos in case I come across such situations. I'm currently thinking of a polite and assertive "thank you so much, but this isn't for me," and if they keep pushing, I'm currently thinking through a more compassionate, "thank you so much again, and I totally understand how it feels to be in your current position of [excitement; being forced into desperation]. I've felt trapped in such a situation before, and I hope you won't have feel that way as well. I hope you understand my unwillingness and can respect that."
I love hearing Zeke in the background. Several years ago we had a cat we had to rehome and she “talked” just like Zeke. Hearing him reminds me of our girl & it warms my heart every time. 😻
One thing that struck me about Story #2 was the emphasis the reps placed on earning money/becoming a millionaire over all else. Obviously I completely understand wanting to make a ton of money, especially if you are currently not making enough to live comfortably! I’m attempting a career change myself in the hopes of being able to make 6 figures and often daydream about all the things I could buy with that salary. But telling someone their architect career is worthless is so beyond the pale. Money is not THE deciding factor in a career, there’s also work-life balance to consider, as well as the job responsibilities. Not everyone wants to be hustling 24/7 and a lot of people need to be in a career that is rewarding and fulfilling in addition to being paid well. Just a gross mindset to have in my opinion, don’t put down others for not being in your MLM.
Yes!! I'm a nurse- the kind of job you don't do for the money because what's required of you isn't worth the pay unless you absolutely love doing this job.
Thank you for explaining undue influence. I once had someone show up at my door basically doing door to door sales for a water heater. He would not leave no matter what I said. Another one of the salesmen showed up at my door and helped him push this on me. I ended up crying and just saying yes because I didn't know what else to do. I felt so stupid. Now I understand more 😪
Isn’t it convenient that no matter who you speak to in an MLM they have a friend or a relative that can relate to your exact situation, no matter how specific and unlikely it is? 🤔
I know a girl in hs that started in her senior year I checked her insta recently and it said “no offering ur shitty mlm” I was so happy she got out lol
We love the Zeke appearances! Don’t feel bad for his meowing and desire for attention. I like how you gave him what he wanted and then he regretted his decisions immediately
I’ve been binge watching your videos all morning and I had my windows open. I heard a cat meowing. I looked at my cat, it wasn’t him. I looked out the window thinking it might be the neighbor’s cat. Nope. Two hours later I figured out it was your cat! 😂
I'm based in Australia and my mum definitely sold LR when I was younger. I remember being surprised as they had Heidi Klum and Michael Schumacher in their catalogues. My mum seemingly was the perfect victim as I remember her doing Avon, LR and Amway at some point in time. Quite surprising as she is usually very investment and money savvy and has worked full-time for as long as I remember. Even then I remember thinking the aforementioned all kinda felt pyramid scheme-y.
I just wrote a story about LR here in Denmark and I also remember them having perfumes with Heidi Klum and Schumacher and a lot of famous people's names. For what I can see they do not have that anymore and now it's called LR health & beauty. I can not remember if that was the name that long ago but it's definitely the same company
Ah, I loved the short Zeke episode called ‘love bombing’ hahahaha! I don’t know how you stayed so calm for so long. I would’ve have thrown my cat in the bin two minutes in (I’m joking, sort of…) 😂
My kids are well prepared with you in the background. They'd even spotted one & stopped their friends from joining one. I have a story being recruited in an sa support group. Please help me be those people voice because they have none.
I love your videos. I have my own Zeek - her name is Mocha. She screams at me to pay attention and once I hold her she wants none of it. Cats are weird 🤣🤣🤣
I love how Zeke is all pay attention to me! Pay attention to me! Why are you touching me? Quit touching me! I'm leaving! Wait! Pay attention to me! 😂 The struggle is real!
Hannah… I just unfollowed anti MLM hosts I have been following before I found you! Why?! Because you are the BEST! I especially love your honest, down to earth, factual commentaries immensely! But what I love and respect about you the most is you never drop the F-bomb or any foul language ever! So dignified you are! So many anti MLM, as well as every host on any subject for that matter, seem to think that word is going out of style and use it in every single sentence. Now trust me, I’m no prude as the mother of 7 children, but come on… do they truly think that’s entertaining?! Do they think they sound “tough”?! Personally, I think you are the most intelligent, well informed, well spoken, & beautiful soul on you tube!! Kudos to you Hannah! Keep on keeping on!! Love watching your content!! Subscriber forever here!🙋🏻♀️
Love your content... I have a friend who's hypnotized in a MLM scheme at the moment and this helps me to see things clearer... I love cats BTW... so cute
The closest I got to any mlm was Avon or Mary Kay, some sort of training class. I don't remember, my friend brought me because she thought she was going to join, but the meeting felt extraordinarily culty and we both felt very uncomfortable.
I just realised, I may have avoided an MLM when I wa sunemplyed for the first time! I got a call of someone who told me I could make money sellign insurances, to my family and friends, and I could start after an orientation meeting. Luckily for me, I was REALLY weirded out by the fact that they wanted to train me in just one evening! Who knows what I might have run into otherwise!
What gets me is primerica claims they aren’t an MLM when I called them out on it. I was on a call and hadn’t heard of the company but within the first few minutes of their pitch it screamed MLM ! I said no thanks.
I know this is an older video, but I have just begun binge watching your videos. I have been using LipSense for about 6 years now and I love it. I have been buying it from the same person for this entire time and have never been approached to sell it. I never knew it was an MLM. I really don't know if I can give it up, nothing else stays on my lips.
Hello! New to your channel (whoop whoop). Great videos :) I’m a bit disappointed to hear so many people say ‘we were too nice/ didn’t want to be rude/ were polite’ when someone is badgering them for an hour… you are the only person who can put a stop to the interaction, though. Telling someone directly or being assertive doesn’t make you a bad person lol you have to advocate for yourself, which can be done respectfully and firmly. I implore all the ladies who are writing in to find their inner advocate! Stick up for yourself and give up trying to be ‘nice’ if it’s not how you really feel! Its self love to say no, especially if they’re harassing/ disrespecting you. You’re not powerless 💜
They all say they aren’t an MLM anymore. I have a friend deep in Amway and she claims they aren’t an MLM because she doesn’t make any money off her downlines’ sales, but instead receives a “mentoring bonus.” *Insert Jim Halpert meme of the two pictures but it’s the same thing*
I've been binging your videos for a few weeks now and always enjoy the sporadic interactions between you and Zeke and Cooper ❤ Zeke's persistence in this particular video is so similar to one of my cats, Penny. She hates closed doors because I'm sure she's convinced that the room on the other side has turned into Narnia but no sweetie, sorry, it's still just the bathroom lol
my cat is a social cat and loves being around other cats. the poor baby is confused whenever he hears your cat screaming and goes around the apartment looking for him. he’s been sitting by the door waiting for me to let the stray cats in because he thinks your cat is one of the strays outside.
So glad you covered this company, my experience with them was back in 2008-10? I’m that time frame and they did not tell you it was auto ship and I only found out when they began taking $75-$100 a month outta my account.
@@FragJamsey thank Amway. They pretty obviously bribed politicians back in the 80s(?) to make a loophole they could hop right into. The founding family is related to Betsy deVos, the former Secretary of Education.
Cracks me up how talkative Zeke is! I had one that was very vocal but the 2 I have now are nearly silent! Poor Zeke just wants you to leave the door open so he can go inside or outside or inside or outside or inside or...
It's not a Hannah video if there isn't a full speech from Zeke. I am glad this included a story from Europe. As a European, there's a lot of MLMs that aren't talked about much popping up around here. My local job search groups are full of huns pitching their business opportunities to people who don't know any better. Luckily, most people don't fall for these, as they're very overpriced, and, considering average salaries here, not affordable, but it's still an infestation. My jaw dropped when I saw a Lithuanian woman recently spam a Riga job search group (Latvia is Lithuania's neighbour) with, you guessed it, FUCKING MONAT. My Lithuanian is quite rusty, as I never formally studied it, but her text was the standard Monat nonsense pitch (and before anyone asks, yes, she posted her spam in Lithuanian, in a group where barely anyone speaks it. Make it make sense). They recently expanded to Spain and Lithuania, and I think it's very telling their huns have to invade random groups of neighbour countries to shill their shit. If that doesn't prove that nobody besides these huns are buying this product, I don't know what will.
Hi :) Yup, Monat openeded in Lithuania and one person I know has joined it. The posts encouraging to join as a VIP client or Market Partner are full of cringe. I saw even a pilot shilling Monat :D So it's not even that surprising that they spam Latvians. :(
Omg I love Zeke screaming in the back. That’s my Leo. He does the same thing but then you smother him with love and he wants to leave. As soon as I shut the door he wants back in haha. Please never cut those moments out!
Hello Hannah! The second story about LR is mine, thanks for sharing! I wanted to clarify that LR stands for LR Health & Beauty Systems. It's a German company. Except from aloe vera mania they are also crazy about their cars (they give away BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc. mainly German cars). I think they claim they have the best car gifting system in the world of MLM. I think they give cars even to the very low ranks. TBH I find this even more manipulative because they are connected to the company via car contract even before they have made any money and this makes them stay even longer. Unfortunately, all of their info about the car system is in German. I can translate them and send them to you if you're interested in digging deeper into this company. Let me know if you're interested in more information about this. Sending love! :)
LOL i kept hearing Zeke and i was like -looks at my own cat- do you hear a cat? LOL i'm glad you showed Zeke! i love your vids anyway but he added some more amazingness
Okay I’ve been binging your videos for like 3 days and they’re fantastic, but can we talk about the more important thing in this exact moment: your hair looks AMAZING.
Story 3 reminds me of The Body Shop at Home! I loved The Body Shop brick and mortar stores. I thought a “direct sales” was different than an MLM but nope same thing. Once I saw their compensation disclosure and started seeing TH-camrs talk about it I was so disappointed that I got duped.
Zeke is so great! He looks a bit like one of my (late) cats. He wanted to be part of everything and he loved and hated to be touched. You "killing him with kindness" is hilarious :D
I had to pause the video after you let Zeke out ... as I was laughing because... I HAVE DONE THE SAME !! (I've had cats all my life and now I'm currently fostering cats from my local rescue.)
Omg this is giving me so many flashbacks! Mary Kay is like this story! They sit you down and make you write out how many people are in your contact list and who'd be great at the business.
Responding to story 4, i was in a similar situation where I was asked to give 10 numbers after getting a tour of a gym that I was looking to join. I was taken aback by this request that I just gave them 10 fake names and phone numbers and left.
I fell for it and it ruined my lips. It took me so long for them to get over the products. This was my last straw as an mlm rep then I found your content.
When my mom was looking for a job she applied to a company thru indeed. It was mancan. She would of had to pay for training, and had to go to meetings in Vegas several times a year. Im so happy I looked into it and found it was a finance/accounting MLM. Its disgusting that they were posting in job sites like a legitimate job.
Lip sense was another one I almost got into because of a friend attesting to it holding up after a night out, even after greasy foods. However, it was definitely the price that put me off that as well…

This. Is. Incredible.
The anti mlm lady 😂😂 that's so cute
This is so cute! Wish my boyfriend did that 🤣🤣🤣
I can’t get enough of this content!
Lol right “we CAN” you mean… you WANT to?
Glad to see that Zeke had you as a guest on his channel again.
This was so much better than my comment.
Yes, how thoughtful of Zeke to allow his Mama to be a guest on his TH-cam videos. 😂😁❤️🐱
So cute to hear him in the background!! As an OSU Buckeye, I love the name ❤️😊
Zeke is the main reason I subscribed!😏
Lmaoo
I feel like Zeke is trying to translate for all the kitties he imagines to be watching.
What a good buddy
I think Zeke would like his own channel 😸
I mean, Loki is really interested, so that's possible.
Well he's a successful kitty translator apparently, because my girl comes out whenever he speaks!
It seems to be working for my cat cause she is fascinated ahah
Multi level mousing
no offense to you, but the best part of this video was your kitty adamantly trying to get your attention and you trying to ignore him. hes a georgous baby ❤️ (it cheered me up)
It always makes me laugh when I hear her cat talking in the background and she pretends like it’s not there to continue with the video 😂😂🐱
Yeah, anti-MLM cats making an appearance is always when I remember to hit the 👍🏻 button. Zeke, Cooper, Pop-Tart…
Zeke is burdened with a glorious purpose and he will not be silenced!

Also a nurse. And yes MLMs are really popular with my co workers which is crazy since we make decent money
LOL Zeke is driving my cat crazy, too. Pixel is like, "WHERE IS THE OTHER CAT??"
Zeke's trilling is so musical; I always look forward hearing him in the back!
the best part of Anti-MLM is that its FREE
One thing my mom has always said "if they were really making money that easy, you think they'd want everyone to know? People don't easily share success, and to strangers at that!"

The exception being if you're purchasing them from a charity shop

And then an arrow pointing to a triangle.

How annoying to force people to buy stuff and scam them to be salesman
Thank you for explaining undue influence. I once had someone show up at my door basically doing door to door sales for a water heater. He would not leave no matter what I said. Another one of the salesmen showed up at my door and helped him push this on me. I ended up crying and just saying yes because I didn't know what else to do. I felt so stupid. Now I understand more 😪
Isn’t it convenient that no matter who you speak to in an MLM they have a friend or a relative that can relate to your exact situation, no matter how specific and unlikely it is? 🤔
I know a girl in hs that started in her senior year I checked her insta recently and it said “no offering ur shitty mlm” I was so happy she got out lol
We love the Zeke appearances! Don’t feel bad for his meowing and desire for attention. I like how you gave him what he wanted and then he regretted his decisions immediately
I’ve been binge watching your videos all morning and I had my windows open. I heard a cat meowing. I looked at my cat, it wasn’t him. I looked out the window thinking it might be the neighbor’s cat. Nope. Two hours later I figured out it was your cat! 😂
I'm based in Australia and my mum definitely sold LR when I was younger. I remember being surprised as they had Heidi Klum and Michael Schumacher in their catalogues. My mum seemingly was the perfect victim as I remember her doing Avon, LR and Amway at some point in time. Quite surprising as she is usually very investment and money savvy and has worked full-time for as long as I remember. Even then I remember thinking the aforementioned all kinda felt pyramid scheme-y.
I just wrote a story about LR here in Denmark and I also remember them having perfumes with Heidi Klum and Schumacher and a lot of famous people's names. For what I can see they do not have that anymore and now it's called LR health & beauty. I can not remember if that was the name that long ago but it's definitely the same company
Ah, I loved the short Zeke episode called ‘love bombing’ hahahaha! I don’t know how you stayed so calm for so long. I would’ve have thrown my cat in the bin two minutes in (I’m joking, sort of…) 😂
My kids are well prepared with you in the background. They'd even spotted one & stopped their friends from joining one. I have a story being recruited in an sa support group. Please help me be those people voice because they have none.
I love your videos. I have my own Zeek - her name is Mocha. She screams at me to pay attention and once I hold her she wants none of it. Cats are weird 🤣🤣🤣
I've been binging these. I was telling my husband about one of the stories. His response was I'm so glad you're smart enough to not fall for those.
You inspired me to do my hair like yours, and I got a compliment on it today! ❤️
I love how Zeke is all pay attention to me! Pay attention to me! Why are you touching me? Quit touching me! I'm leaving! Wait! Pay attention to me! 😂 The struggle is real!
Hannah… I just unfollowed anti MLM hosts I have been following before I found you! Why?! Because you are the BEST!
I especially love your honest, down to earth, factual commentaries immensely! But what I love and respect about you the most is you never drop the F-bomb or any foul language ever! So dignified you are!
So many anti MLM, as well as every host on any subject for that matter, seem to think that word is going out of style and use it in every single sentence. Now trust me, I’m no prude as the mother of 7 children, but come on… do they truly think that’s entertaining?! Do they think they sound “tough”?! Personally, I think you are the most intelligent, well informed, well spoken, & beautiful soul on you tube!! Kudos to you Hannah! Keep on keeping on!! Love watching your content!! Subscriber forever here!🙋🏻♀️
Love your content... I have a friend who's hypnotized in a MLM scheme at the moment and this helps me to see things clearer... I love cats BTW... so cute
The closest I got to any mlm was Avon or Mary Kay, some sort of training class. I don't remember, my friend brought me because she thought she was going to join, but the meeting felt extraordinarily culty and we both felt very uncomfortable.
Zeke demands the abolishing of tyrannical closed doors
I think that we need to have a panel with Zeke and PopTart. 😁

I just realised, I may have avoided an MLM when I wa sunemplyed for the first time! I got a call of someone who told me I could make money sellign insurances, to my family and friends, and I could start after an orientation meeting. Luckily for me, I was REALLY weirded out by the fact that they wanted to train me in just one evening! Who knows what I might have run into otherwise!
Gut feelings tend to work!
What gets me is primerica claims they aren’t an MLM when I called them out on it. I was on a call and hadn’t heard of the company but within the first few minutes of their pitch it screamed MLM ! I said no thanks.
The fact that I saw a primerica sign 7 minutes from where I live in my way home from work… my heart sunk..
I know this is an older video, but I have just begun binge watching your videos. I have been using LipSense for about 6 years now and I love it. I have been buying it from the same person for this entire time and have never been approached to sell it. I never knew it was an MLM. I really don't know if I can give it up, nothing else stays on my lips.
Hello! New to your channel (whoop whoop). Great videos :)
I’m a bit disappointed to hear so many people say ‘we were too nice/ didn’t want to be rude/ were polite’ when someone is badgering them for an hour… you are the only person who can put a stop to the interaction, though.
Telling someone directly or being assertive doesn’t make you a bad person lol you have to advocate for yourself, which can be done respectfully and firmly. I implore all the ladies who are writing in to find their inner advocate!
Stick up for yourself and give up trying to be ‘nice’ if it’s not how you really feel!
Its self love to say no, especially if they’re harassing/ disrespecting you. You’re not powerless 💜
They all say they aren’t an MLM anymore. I have a friend deep in Amway and she claims they aren’t an MLM because she doesn’t make any money off her downlines’ sales, but instead receives a “mentoring bonus.”
*Insert Jim Halpert meme of the two pictures but it’s the same thing*
I've been binging your videos for a few weeks now and always enjoy the sporadic interactions between you and Zeke and Cooper ❤
Zeke's persistence in this particular video is so similar to one of my cats, Penny. She hates closed doors because I'm sure she's convinced that the room on the other side has turned into Narnia but no sweetie, sorry, it's still just the bathroom lol
The kitty meows in the background. 🥺🥺😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the kitty merping in the background.
Loved seeing and hearing Zeke in this video. My cat started looking around trying to find the "intruder".
Oh my gosh Zeke trilling for attention in the background is adorable.
LuLaRoe now has a SECOND documentary condemning them on Hulu
It's not on Hulu. It's on Discovery+
Zeeke! He just wants to say hello to all of his fans! We love you, Zeeke!
I really like your content and thoughts about this. Been binge-watching these. I hope you keep making these.
Going through and catching up on the horror stories. I think I'm caught up now. These are my favorite.
my cat is a social cat and loves being around other cats. the poor baby is confused whenever he hears your cat screaming and goes around the apartment looking for him. he’s been sitting by the door waiting for me to let the stray cats in because he thinks your cat is one of the strays outside.
Thanks for giving us something to watch while you're out living your best life at Disney!!! 💖
My pup loves Zeke so much. Every meow makes him try to cuddle my iPad 😂❤
So glad you covered this company, my experience with them was back in 2008-10? I’m that time frame and they did not tell you it was auto ship and I only found out when they began taking $75-$100 a month outta my account.
XD your 'not doing it anymore' about getting up AGA8N to let Zeke in slays me. I felt that deep in my cat-mom soul LOL
I’m not understanding how MLM are allowed to exist 😂
The Direct Marketing Association spends a ton of money on politicians.
EVERYTIME I watch an anti-mlm video and hear these stories I think the same thing. These should be illegal!
@@FragJamsey thank Amway. They pretty obviously bribed politicians back in the 80s(?) to make a loophole they could hop right into. The founding family is related to Betsy deVos, the former Secretary of Education.
@@haven311 wow! I had no idea! Go figure, right!
My advocare up line triggered an eating disorder by trying to profit off of my insecurities…now that’s a story to tell
Aww, handsome boy "Zekie"! 😍 The Anti-MLM spokeskitty...
I love your hairstyle ❤️ I can not for the life of me do my own hair like that ever!
I just realized I watch your anti MLM videos and I used to watch your Poshmark videos! I had no idea until today that you made both!
Cracks me up how talkative Zeke is! I had one that was very vocal but the 2 I have now are nearly silent! Poor Zeke just wants you to leave the door open so he can go inside or outside or inside or outside or inside or...
It's not a Hannah video if there isn't a full speech from Zeke.
I am glad this included a story from Europe. As a European, there's a lot of MLMs that aren't talked about much popping up around here. My local job search groups are full of huns pitching their business opportunities to people who don't know any better. Luckily, most people don't fall for these, as they're very overpriced, and, considering average salaries here, not affordable, but it's still an infestation.
My jaw dropped when I saw a Lithuanian woman recently spam a Riga job search group (Latvia is Lithuania's neighbour) with, you guessed it, FUCKING MONAT. My Lithuanian is quite rusty, as I never formally studied it, but her text was the standard Monat nonsense pitch (and before anyone asks, yes, she posted her spam in Lithuanian, in a group where barely anyone speaks it. Make it make sense). They recently expanded to Spain and Lithuania, and I think it's very telling their huns have to invade random groups of neighbour countries to shill their shit. If that doesn't prove that nobody besides these huns are buying this product, I don't know what will.
Hi :) Yup, Monat openeded in Lithuania and one person I know has joined it. The posts encouraging to join as a VIP client or Market Partner are full of cringe.
I saw even a pilot shilling Monat :D So it's not even that surprising that they spam Latvians. :(
In Spain I ve seen a lot of Herbalife mainly
Omg I love Zeke screaming in the back. That’s my Leo. He does the same thing but then you smother him with love and he wants to leave. As soon as I shut the door he wants back in haha. Please never cut those moments out!
I was actually recruited in a mostly male MLM for AT&T internet. It was a door to door sale thing and now they sale TVs which is wierd.
your cat is so precious I love his guest appearances
Hello Hannah! The second story about LR is mine, thanks for sharing!
I wanted to clarify that LR stands for LR Health & Beauty Systems. It's a German company. Except from aloe vera mania they are also crazy about their cars (they give away BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc. mainly German cars). I think they claim they have the best car gifting system in the world of MLM. I think they give cars even to the very low ranks. TBH I find this even more manipulative because they are connected to the company via car contract even before they have made any money and this makes them stay even longer. Unfortunately, all of their info about the car system is in German. I can translate them and send them to you if you're interested in digging deeper into this company. Let me know if you're interested in more information about this. Sending love! :)
My sister got in to LR here in Denmark, luckily for what I remember she wasn't in it that long time and didn't recruit anyone
LOL i kept hearing Zeke and i was like -looks at my own cat- do you hear a cat? LOL i'm glad you showed Zeke! i love your vids anyway but he added some more amazingness
Hi Hannah! Hope you've had a better day, today :)
I am, thank you!! At Disney today 🥰
Okay I’ve been binging your videos for like 3 days and they’re fantastic, but can we talk about the more important thing in this exact moment: your hair looks AMAZING.
Your kitty’s little reows are so cute omg
I did not know Tupperware is a MLM company. Thank goodness for this videos
I just wanted to say I'm absolutely LOVING the kitty noises
Your kitty sounds like a ghast in the background. And I love it!
Not me rewatching the part when you cuddle it Zeke out for the 20th time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As someone who also has a very vocal cat, I feel comforted to know that i'm not the only one who's tormented by the constant meows LOL
Story 3 reminds me of The Body Shop at Home! I loved The Body Shop brick and mortar stores. I thought a “direct sales” was different than an MLM but nope same thing. Once I saw their compensation disclosure and started seeing TH-camrs talk about it I was so disappointed that I got duped.
Tell me you've watched Hannah forever without telling me you've watched Hannah forever ... .
..instantly recognising Zekes hellos.. 💕
Haha he’s really making himself known in my videos recently 😂
Zeke is so great! He looks a bit like one of my (late) cats. He wanted to be part of everything and he loved and hated to be touched. You "killing him with kindness" is hilarious :D
I had to pause the video after you let Zeke out ... as I was laughing because... I HAVE DONE THE SAME !! (I've had cats all my life and now I'm currently fostering cats from my local rescue.)
Omg this is giving me so many flashbacks! Mary Kay is like this story! They sit you down and make you write out how many people are in your contact list and who'd be great at the business.
Responding to story 4, i was in a similar situation where I was asked to give 10 numbers after getting a tour of a gym that I was looking to join. I was taken aback by this request that I just gave them 10 fake names and phone numbers and left.
I fell for it and it ruined my lips. It took me so long for them to get over the products. This was my last straw as an mlm rep then I found your content.
When my mom was looking for a job she applied to a company thru indeed. It was mancan. She would of had to pay for training, and had to go to meetings in Vegas several times a year. Im so happy I looked into it and found it was a finance/accounting MLM. Its disgusting that they were posting in job sites like a legitimate job.
Lip sense was another one I almost got into because of a friend attesting to it holding up after a night out, even after greasy foods. However, it was definitely the price that put me off that as well…
