I got the Paired app because I saw it on your show, and my husband and I love it! My husband (the big, bad, tough Marine who I *thought* would give me grief about a relationship app) is so into it! He flaunts his (as of today) 63-day-streak constantly! 😂 He hasn’t missed a day! We’ve been married 30 years, and we love this app! I’m thankful to you for introducing this to us! Thanks, Hannah!!
This is diabolical!! Unbelievable, I would be furious if someone told my story to sell their product. We need to do better . This is Gross. 😢😢😢 Infuriating !!
Honestly I find the scenario of being left without the husband and with 5 kids to support with my only job being in an mlm, absolutely horror story material to me
This happened to me (attempted). I was diagnosed with an IBD back in 2018 and shortly after mentioning to my friend that I was undergoing treatment, she told me oils could help with my treatment as several of them help migraines, body aches and there’s a few aiding in digestion and could put me in remission if you put it on special points of your body. She told me she could hook me up with some samples and then talk to me about it later. I kept saying no because thankfully I know that does nothing, and that the only way to get into remission is with medication, possible steroids, healthy diet and exercise. I stopped talking to her eventually when she realized I was never going to buy anything 🤷♀️ ETA: current longest remission going on 3 years 🎉
Am I the only one who is always stressed out about their children just being ignored and crying in the background. Your children are growing up thinking that social media is more important than whatever they need.
@@BritInvLvr I'm not even particularly motherly (no intention of having my own and I've never dreamed of it nor aspired to it) and any time I hear a kid yelling or a baby crying I'm on red alert until I see the guardian responding to them
If I were like 4 or 5 and my mother would talk angrily at something invisible while we are home (or in the car, especially a moving one) alone I would feel very frightened.
I literally just got recruited into a MLM and didn't even realize it. The same week one of your videos came up on my TH-cam feed, so I checked it out and it sounded so much like the company I was just hired by. It helped me open my eyes and I quit soon after, especially after researching the company more and realizing how predatory it is. It is amazing how all these companies use the same wordage to suck people on and this one was no different.
I couldn’t understand … if her results from the product were so great, why get the surgery especially if now her claim is that she looks worse after the surgery??
@@MelissaCaskey-wm7zp Tummy tuck isn't a weight loss surgery, its a surgery you do after weight loss, it removes excess skin and ties up muscles back into a shape so they don't have excess skin or a bump in their stomach.
@@angematias4425if we go by the before, where was the excess skin in it? It’s deceptive though because she made it seem like the supplements are the sole reason for her weight loss after 9.5 years of exercising. She’s a scammer.
My "horrible corporate job" has provided me paid bereavement not once but twice. Once when my mom passed and when I had a miscarriage. Not all companies do the second one, but some of them do. Bonus, I didn't have to have my coworkers use those stories to shill the business. This is awful.
yes! also in every job, coworkers will worry and care about you if you lose your family member.. why she is talking like that is something never happens in other companies..?? what kind of job she had before?
@@sportzriter13 Right?! I'm in HR, so I know when every employee is out for bereavement or some other awful situation. It's never crossed my mind to put in our job ads, "And this is why you should work for our company. Because Employee A has cancer and Employee B's spouse just passed, and we support them by letting them continue to work from the funeral home and hospital during these tough times!"
Way better benefits in the "corporate world" My company unfortunately doesn't have the bereavement for a miscarriage but so many other ways they take care of me!
I think it's because people are mean about it. When you take the time to explain it strongly but kindly with the intent to change the person's mind, that's effective accountability. But just yelling at someone in all caps about how bad they are for what they did or said, that is hateful. Real accountability is not hate.
I kept thinking it was my own son in the other room and had to keep pausing the video to check on him, I think he thought I was going crazy! Girl, quit shilling your nonsense and take care of your kid! Lol
I've been very unfortunate that I have been widowed twice, once at 41 and then again just last year at 55. I've worked for the same soul crushing corporation for 21 years, in other words, throughout both of my bereavement periods. For both times, I received nearly a month off WITH PAY and the assurance that my job would be here when I was ready. I didn't go online and thank my company for allowing me the time off because it's literally in the employee handbook.
@@beckyzainoparks5227 Oh my word! To think you were lucky enough to to find two wonderful souls but then unlucky enough to see them go before their time... Your heart must be so strong. Sending you warm wishes for the year end. Also, you are exactly on point. 👏🏻👏🏻
As an ex Mormon and someone who went on a mission, the similarities are insane between mlms and missions! We were taught to get to know the person and “dig deep” and we would just wait for the moment for the person to say “this person died” or “I am struggling” or “I just had a baby” we would look for any opportunity to bring up something like the plan of salvation and to say families can be together forever and here’s how! It’s very opportunistic. We have a saying, “I’m sorry for the things I said when I was Mormon” the cringe I still feel from time to time for what I did thinking I was doing the right thing when in reality it was sooo inappropriate.
Mormonism should legit be illegal along with Scientology. We're not dumb babies anymore, most people intellectually know the difference between a religion and a cult. Biggest sign: if they threaten to ruin your life and cut you off from your entire family and community if you decide you want to leave, that is not a religion. And tbf, as someone raised Catholic, I 100% realize even within a "real religion" certain communities can and do behave cultishly. There's Opus Dei, ofc, but individual parishes could function like a cult easily.
I can't believe a 34 old man who work in construction would love all your videos. I like the way you speak, it's so clear, easy to understand and so well presented
I follow a girl who was an Amare rep and she quit using all her actual medications and started using happy juice instead and she attempted to unalive herself a few months later. She was saved thank God but this mlm is SO DANGEROUS
I'm pretty sure that if not for my antidepressants, I wouldn't be here today. While there are valid criticisms of psychotropic medications (especially under the capitalist American "healthcare" system), promoting the idea that we should all just stop using them is incredibly dangerous.
"Its no longer possible to be in the middle about this issue. Now I myself will not be doing anything about it because I'm called to sit down while other women earn a paycheck for me. But you need to be standing up."
No I was literally like 👀 and she’s saying all that all fired up while literally making faces about people who go to protests and stuff like that?!?! Wealthy white woman liberalism is so wild
@@darbymori350I'm assuming she's thinking that if we all pull out threads we can unravel the evils in society. But to me it sounds like s call for direct action (but I'm in an active punk community so...)
6:04 what’s absolutely amazing is when my coworker lost an immediate family member he was able to use his paid time off to be AWAY from work and still get paid. And on top of that the whole department rallied to support him and his family, plus his non-work support people were there
Exactly! That's the awful thing about having a regular job with a 'normal' company; you get to grieve away from work! She has a really bizarre point of view 😮 People in my team at work have had as much time off as they needed to grieve, and were able to return to work gradually starting with just a few hours a week. I have also had to use that that policy after losing a baby last year. I've also made lifelong friends through work who are actually located close to me, and who I don't have to compete with to sell products or recruit other people. She's totally not selling the MlM lifestyle here... 😂
I was thinking this too!! Shouldn't the analogy be to weave threads into the tapestry of whatever, why are we pulling it apart 😭 is that a Freudian slip for MLMs or something
To be fair, she’s talking about stopping school shootings (among other unspecified bad things), so it’s fine if the tapestry that allows for those things to happen falls apart
@@charlottet9035 Maybe that’s what she meant. It seemed like she was talking about lots of different “threads” pulled by lots of different people but I got a bit lost in the analogy.
I really wish that someone had been around in the early 2000s to stop me from trying every MLM out there to "help" my family. I did Tupperware, Partylite, Creatively Memories & Avon. I didn't help my family. Shocker, right!! 🙄🤣
Don't feel bad. These people are professionals and have teams and scripts to manipulate people. It would be like me feeling guilty for losing a fight against Curtis Mayfield. Feel proud of yourself for getting out.
Wait, Creative Memories is an MLM?!?!?!?! I never knew that! We went to tons of crops years ago. I knew you could only purchase from the consultant, but I didn't know they recruited a team under them and got cuts from their sales 😭
"I'm not going to protest and call for change. I'm going to recruit people to my MLM." I'm sure glad and excited to hear the amount of students and school staff that are going to be saved because of _multi level marketing_
I still don’t understand what was her point was honestly. Is she saying ‘protests are useless that’s why I’m not there’ or just ‘oh thats not what I will do but I will join writeups’ or something like that?
I will NEVER believe that 40,000 people on her downline have been successful. Most of those people have a garage full of products and credit cards full of debt.
Very few, more probably none, of her downline is ‘successful’. The only people who make money in MLM’s are folks at the tippy-tops of the pyramid and everybody down below just scrambles to make money by recruiting more people themselves. Then *those* people scramble to recruit more saps, and so on and so on and etc.
My ex-wife was (still is?) involved with Young Living. At one point some women a few steps up in her up line (the ones making 2k-3k a month) started posting videos on Instagram about "honoring" your team when you got your monthly payout. It had all the words of someone suggesting you do something nice, but it gave me bad feelings. Especially because they said to target the people in your down line that almost hit some new level and send them a $5 Amazon gift card. It had a "oh you like this? well theres more where that came from if you do well" vibe. That's a small part of the nightmare that was watching my (now ex) wife become someone completely different after joining an MLM, but your last story brought up that specific memory. Keep up the killer work Hannah!!
When that woman said she had a different “thread to pull” thirty times I thought she meant a different way to fight school shootings than protesting (like running for office, putting kids in private school, refusing to buy guns), but then she just meant…….she refuses to help fight against school shootings at all?? It’s not “her thread to pull” to even try and help? Even though someone very close to her got shot in a school shooting????
Right!! Imagine getting a tummy tuck for 17 lbs! That's the part that blew my mind. Her thinking seventeen pounds was big...after four kids! Honestly, kind of breaks my heart. And worries me sooo much about the girls listening to her.
I work with a non-profit that works with people struggling with addiction, I went to school to handle people with addiction, and I have grown up with addicts. One worry I do have with MLM huns using addiction for their pitch is, what if they end up getting someone struggling with addiction in their downline and that person they recruited eventually realizes that it didn't work out? The realization that you wasted time and money on a scam, and the embarrassment that comes from that, will likely cause that person to relapse back into their addiction.
Especially because they add all the fake "personal development" bs. It's playing with people's sobriety and lives to make money off them and it's disgusting.
idk if it's just me, but the lady in the 3rd fail with the whole "i was smaller before, now i'm bigger and i keep drinking this juice" inevitably makes me think "could it be that that thing is what's making you bigger.. maybe?????" lmao she doesn't make any sense!
Right off the bat with the audacity. The husband díed the day before, and this woman is putting this family’s business out there. It wasn’t her news to share. I haven’t even finished watching the clip and already I’m horrified.
“This business brought her friends!” And if my work brought me friends like you, lady, I’d be very disappointed. She’s a walking terrible advertisement for the community. How fundamentally disrespectful to put someone’s gut-wrenching pain on display without their consent.
Hannah, I have recently started watching your content and I have to say that not only are your videos very informative and enjoyable to watch, but I have gone back and watched your anti MLM videos, and they have helped me heal from my own MLM trauma. Thank you so much for the education and awareness you provide with your channel!!
My mum died when I was 23- I was broken and couldn’t cope but I still remember when a now ex ‘friend’ posted about losing my mum on fb before I had even told people online and it was all about how hard it was for HER to cope with 😡 I screenshotted it and never spoke to her again….. I despise these exploitative vultures who spin everything into a way of getting something from others in fake sympathy, monetarily and through their crappy MLMs!!
As an RN I have strong feelings about ozempic. I've had patients go into acute pancreatitis from it. People who aren't over weight are getting it, and it's causing them to engage in an ozempic eating disorder. And 60 lbs in 6 months is fine if the person starts out at 400lbs. But for the average person, that's not healthy.
And then there are tens of thousands of people using GLP-1s successfully with nearly zero side effects, reclaiming their health and well-being, but are shouted down by the small subsection of people who experience bad reactions. Gastric bypass had this level of hate when it was first introduced and now no one cares if an obese person uses it to get their life under control. The media sure does a number on people
Not the Amare rep exploiting her friends' husband's death while also ignoring her own kid crying in the back seat. Love how much work/life balance and the family time MLMs afford you 😒
Hannah, I wanted to say I’m really glad you’re still making anti-MLM content. I know you’ve blown up with your Influencer Insanity series (and we LOVE to see that!) but I started watching you years ago because of your anti-MLM content. In fact, you’re the only anti-MLM content creator I watch because of the way you approach the subject matter & the MLM reps. So I love that even though you’ve grown in part due to other types of content, you’re still producing this type of content. Thanks! ♥️
My partner was part of Scentsy and her upline used it to promote it when my partner passed from brain cancer. I mean hey, at least Scentsy sent us flowers when she passed. 🙄
Her potential lies are actual lies given the fact that she claimed that her products helped her lose weight when she had a tummy tuck. However, I agree with you. Then instead of acknowledging it properly, she proceeds to gaslight people.
But how *dare* people question her? Don't they know she's the realest mf'er they'll ever meet, and that she would *never* put her own good name to something that wasn't god's own magical rainbow farts? She's so *real*, you guys, and that's the straight-up goddamn f'ing truth, you @#$%& piece of @#$@#%(^. SO REAL. SO UNFILTERED.
As a religious person, I’ve know many women who have fallen into MLM schemes while associating their incentives with God. It makes my stomach turn every time. It is so wrong and disgusting and I really appreciate your knowledge on their ingenuity. Keep it up girl!
Sister, I am with you! I am also religious, I love Jesus... so many of my believing friends are involved with mlms and talk about "God's plan" etc and I'm always just sat there like 👀🫠 Even my mother, who is one of the most educated Bible nerds I know recently started selling MLM products last year. It's so awkward sometimes 🥹
I lost my best friend in a car accident just two weeks ago. I cannot FATHOM trying to use that to pitch a business. I have barely been able to get out of bed or stop crying, and you definitely would not catch me telling other people that there's a "bright side" because of an MLM business. I realize that this woman's situation is different, she possibly didn't know her teammate's husband at all, and maybe it doesn't personally affect her. But it's just such a gross and horrific way to exploit a tragedy. Wow.
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry for your loss. Those levels of grief are so painful and hard to get through. I hope you're able to do some nice self care and give yourself some grace for struggling because that's incredibly tough to deal with. All the hugs ♥️
@@Hyenalowena Thank you. It's definitely a difficult time. I've been trying to just give myself the space to grieve and sometimes all I do is lay in bed and stare at the ceiling and I have to remind myself that this is self care. I know it will never go away, but I expect it will get easier with time.
I needed this right now. My aunt who’s lived with me all my life is in the hospital, probably in her last days, I have midterms this week and really needed a distraction.
It grinds my gears so much when these huns get on a Live and start yelling and cussing into the camera while their children are within earshot and clearly needing the attention of their parent!
Top Fail 3 tummy tuck person, I'm sorry, does anyone else hear how these liars always sound so out of breath and agitated, and still claim to be the realest of the real people? Real people don't have to say shit like that and if they did, maybe it would sound a bit more calm and self assured and not like they have to yell at you to convince how real they are 😂
I know everyone isn't great in front of a camera and I think that she did say she just finished working out, but when people get on camera and are super breathless, rambling on and on, hardly making sense, moving around all over the place, I have such a hard time paying attention. It comes across as having very low confidence which makes me believe her even less than I already do and see right through all the lies lol
Ive been watching the MLM horror stories for about 2 years now- my question is why do these people speak like this? I would never work with or buy from someone who cusses constantly in an angry manner, its just not professional.
The GLP-1 hate is hard for me because I have an extremely healthy diet with plenty of calories (1800-2500 per day) and it has really made a huge difference for me. I gained 60 lbs from prescription and injected steroids during medical care and no combination of calorie cutting, exercise, and nutrition helped, even under the supervision of a dietician and medical doctor. As soon as I started semaglutide, it started dropping. Maybe I’m in the minority, I don’t know, but it’s really hard for me to see people have such strong negative opinions on something they haven’t tried or if they haven’t had to deal with obesity that doesn’t respond to the traditional - eat less, move more. This isn’t to speak up against anything Hannah said, just an addendum to her own insight. And this hun shilling some herbal pill nonsense is just gross. GLP-1 meds are not to be taken lightly and need to be under the supervision of a medical professional, they aren’t just some supplements you take based on the recommendation of some rando on TikTok. Ok, I’m off my soapbox now. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Sorry to rabble in your comments, Hannah!
I’m glad they work well for you but cosmetic usage negatively impacts the diabetic patients’ access to the GLP-1 medications. That’s the only reason I’m personally critical of cosmetic usage of these medications. It doesn’t help that the cosmetic usage favours white-able bodies and financially able people over disadvantaged minorities, as they are able to access the doctors and able to pay the over fees.
You’re absolutely right and so valid, it’s a _medication_ that exists to help people with very real medical problems. It’s not the same scale, but perhaps a parallel is how adderall can have a bad reputation as “just some narcotic people abuse,” but that was never the point of the medication. Adderall helps many ADHD people to function at all in their daily lives. Medications aren’t bad or good, and they were innovated because people need them. Their use is between individuals and their doctors. So yeah, honestly I feel like so much rage wouldn’t be associated with this medication if it weren’t for the manufacturers themselves being so bad at scaling production to match market demand. I don’t know if it’s made out of unicorn tears or something or if it’s just their way to create false scarcity to keep the price high. And to be honest, I’m not clear on whether patients still face shortages or if that was an issue that existed in the past but has passed now. I want people to stop pointing fingers at each other and instead band together and put pressure on manufacturers to actually make these life-saving and health-saving medications available, if that’s the problem driving controversy about its use. Problems don’t get solved by individuals fighting each other. They get solved by holding power accountable and addressing the problem at its root. Idk if there are people out there who are like 120 pounds using it to hit 110 pounds or something, but I don’t care because it’s not my body and not my business. If content creators want to share info on existence of side effects and possible risks, and remind people to carefully consult their doctors if it’s right for them, that’s fine. But it’s not useful to police whether it’s valid for someone to use a medication. People own their own bodies and are entitled to make decisions about them. And, they’re the only ones who have to live in that decision, whether to take or not to take a medication, and the downside or benefit of taking OR not taking it. It’s a separate issue worth calling out if people are falsely labeling supplements as being something they are not and scamming people out of money, but that doesn’t mean GLP-1 agonists are bad. Chemicals are just chemicals, they are tools that can be utilized for a purpose. I’m really glad medicine has found something to help people stuck in the position you were in! ( -also sorry I’m so painfully wordy omg- )
@@elif6908 OP clarified that they were using it for a medical reason, not a cosmetic reason. High body fat percentage can place strain on the whole bodily organism, and cause a host of downstream negative health effects. Losing weight IS a medical use of the medication, and what a doctor decides for their patient is not our business to police. We didn’t go to medical school and OP is not a patient under our care. We are not in a position to render judgment on the validity of the prescription. If the issue is shortage of medication availability, the problem may lie with manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, raw material sourcing, maybe government policy, or something else I can’t think of. What is driving those bottlenecks? How can we address it? Is it needed to protest the manufacturers, or the drug companies that own the patents? Do we need to pressure our elected officials to change policy? Many people need this medication. Getting more of it available in pharmacies is the goal. Increasing production is a long-term solution to sustainably overcoming that problem.
@@elif6908 I mean, mine is compounded from a compounding pharmacy, so it's not the same supply chain as what's used in diabetic medications. And mine is very inexpensive because it's from a compounding pharmacy - less than $200/month. I realize that's a lot for many folks, but it's not the thousands of dollars I hear other folks are paying.
I always appreciate how empathetically you treat these huns and how you don't go after appearance and instead focus on building your argument. It's a breath of fresh air these days!
I’m going to make an influencer/mlm hun bingo card. A few highlights: video while in the car, video in the car while driving, loud kid noises in the background, “It’s a Blessing”. Etc.
“Work from home”, “flexible hours” general corporate/normal job slander. “Spend more time with my kids/be home more often” “It works if you want it to/put in the effort to succeed”
"She's able to grieve the loss of her husband and still make a monthly income" IDK about the US, but here in the UK, if you have a regular 9-5 job, your employer allows compassionate leave if you lose someone. In all my jobs, that has been paid. It is bizarre to me someone would have to thank their MLM for still bringing in an income if they can't work due to a bereavement.
My friend also experienced a period of time in which she wasn’t able to work while she was a sole income earner. Guess what? She still had a monthly payment because she has a job, her healthcare is paid for, and her colleagues gave her space and support. She also has lots of friends who visited her, helped her take care of stuff, etc. That’s not unique to an MLM. It’s actually safer to have a normal job that doesn’t require you to work and allows you to take PTO. The delusional excuses these people come up with are so pathetic and ridiculous. And so not revolutionary
That first girl is going to be so surprised when she finally realizes that she has more Amare product in her garage than what she has actually sold and quits and then all those “friends” disappear.
That tummy tuck woman was so annoying, her voice and way of speaking alone felt very aggravating… the way she’s breathing alone says it all how often she truly works out smh
Can I just say that I am very grateful to Hannah. Thank you so much for being such a sane, honest, modest and delicate beautiful person! Thank you for taking care of people, warning them of scammers. I always 100% agree with everything you say. Thank you for your work. Your videos also help topractise my English. You speak very nicely with beautiful expressions. Love you! 🌸 Hello from 🇰🇿
I moved to Carmel, IN very shortly before the school shooting at the middle school in the neighboring town she was talking about. That was so, so scary and I never, ever would have guessed something like that would have happened there. To turn that whole situation into an MLM pitch grosses me out beyond belief, because that is so personal to everyone living in this county, even if we're not in that school district. FWIW, Carmel is a wonderful place to live. We deinitely don't need predatory hunbots here though.
So, if the Amare benefits are sooo great, why wasn't this poor widow able to support her family solely with that before her husband even died? That poor woman - to have her tragedy broadcast on social media and her so-called "friends" trying to make money off of her, and use her to recruit more people.
How is it that everytime I watch one of your videos it instantly puts me in cleaning mood and I start cleaning my apartment while listening to you? It must have something to do with your very easy to listen to language. I'm not a native english speaker but watch mostly english YT. You are easy to understand and have a very nice pace to follow while doing other stuff :)
The algorithm suggested 1 of your Influencer Insanity videos a few days ago and I’ve binged roughly 40 of your videos and am obsessed 😂👏🏼 so thank you for the amazing research and fact finding you do! I’ve sent you to many friends who all have loved your videos! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
how long did y'all's Thanksgivings last before a family member tried pitching you an mlm?? it only took 10 minutes before the pampered chef cataloged started to make its way around the room. I was silently trying to tell my mom DONT BUY THE PAMPERED CHEF and luckily she did not buy anything
“Everyone who’s been following me for a long time knows…” That’s clear deception for NEW viewers, which you always try to get! My mom recently got a tummy tuck after having 4 kids because of stubborn weight around her midsection and was very embarrassed about it- she told me she was having a woman surgery and I WAS SO SCARED bc I thought it was ovarian or cervical or breast cancer but my dad told me and asked me to not say anything
Its sooo annoying.. like do you have to do this in your car with your child there?? Can't you do this in a quiet and respectful space? Not like she's respectful, but y'know 😂
oh please her kid was hardly making noise. little kids make sounds because they are still learning and its sweet. im not a kid person but i have enough empathy to not be annoyed. 🙄
@@murisahI think they're less annoyed about the kid and more annoyed about the mom not checking on the kid. Other people have said the noise made them check up on theit own kid so it clearly isn't just fun experimental noises, some of it can be seen as distress.
The tummy tuck girl... she said both photos/reels you showed are before the surgery. The after photo/reel still has a little roll that she didn't like, so she got a tummy tuck. So she's now post-op and bigger then that after photo/reel you showed. She explained it really bad and is mad everybody is calling her a liar because she didn't lie (according to her, don't come at me).
Girl, that story w a tummy tuck makes me so mad. I had so many issues w bloating..so I went to an actual medical doctor. I had to get a colonoscopy, endoscopy & with that and a change of things that I was eating/medication- I changed it. quit trying to panhandle ur supplements
Just going to say, im watching this on hard earned PTO right now.. and when I am at work, I don't have to work nearly that hard to make everyone "get" what i do.. 🤷♀️
Hannah can you please do a video on reacting to MLMs portrayed on films and TV shows? I recently saw it on Young Sheldon and thought of how funny it would be to see you make some light-hearted content on these exploitative businesses while still being informative.
I popped this on to listen during lunch. My three year old says, "Mom! Can I see her?" *Showed her the screen * "Oh! She has two cats! I like her cats." 😂
As someone who lived in Carmel when that shooting happened and now lives near Carmel…it infuriates me that she would bring up those poor people to hawk her stupid MLM!!

I got the Paired app because I saw it on your show, and my husband and I love it! My husband (the big, bad, tough Marine who I *thought* would give me grief about a relationship app) is so into it! He flaunts his (as of today) 63-day-streak constantly! 😂 He hasn’t missed a day! We’ve been married 30 years, and we love this app! I’m thankful to you for introducing this to us! Thanks, Hannah!!
This is diabolical!!
Unbelievable, I would be furious if someone told my story to sell their product. We need to do better . This is Gross. 😢😢😢
Infuriating !!
If I lost my husband and someone went on social media and used it to sell something I would be throwing hands
And feet.
💯💯
If I used my moms death to sell a product, she'd come down and whoop my ass. And she would never lay a hand on anyone. She couldn't hurt a fly.
And bricks
Let alone my coworker… his friends and family may not even know yet
"One person's tragedy is another person's MLM business opportunity pitch." Gosh, that makes my stomach turn.
And she ain’t even apologetic! Lord.
As if it wasn’t sad enough there is a sound of a child (or a pet) whining in the background, which makes it even more sinister.
Honestly I find the scenario of being left without the husband and with 5 kids to support with my only job being in an mlm, absolutely horror story material to me
It’s just so dark
This happened to me (attempted).
I was diagnosed with an IBD back in 2018 and shortly after mentioning to my friend that I was undergoing treatment, she told me oils could help with my treatment as several of them help migraines, body aches and there’s a few aiding in digestion and could put me in remission if you put it on special points of your body. She told me she could hook me up with some samples and then talk to me about it later.
I kept saying no because thankfully I know that does nothing, and that the only way to get into remission is with medication, possible steroids, healthy diet and exercise. I stopped talking to her eventually when she realized I was never going to buy anything 🤷♀️
ETA: current longest remission going on 3 years 🎉
Am I the only one who is always stressed out about their children just being ignored and crying in the background. Your children are growing up thinking that social media is more important than whatever they need.
i was going to say the same thing!
Oh man. I can’t stand to hear a kid cry. I just want to pick them up and comfort them. It makes me crazy.
@@BritInvLvr I'm not even particularly motherly (no intention of having my own and I've never dreamed of it nor aspired to it) and any time I hear a kid yelling or a baby crying I'm on red alert until I see the guardian responding to them
Omg it stresses me out so badly
If I were like 4 or 5 and my mother would talk angrily at something invisible while we are home (or in the car, especially a moving one) alone I would feel very frightened.
I hope I never hear the phrase “thread to pull” or “step into your power” ever again.
The first is probably fine in embroidery or sewing or similar crafting
Me too😂😂
@@mossthebryophyterthat’s the only appropriate context imo
My eye was twitching every time she mentioned that sodding thread!
Or “pour into us”. Yuck 🤢
I literally just got recruited into a MLM and didn't even realize it. The same week one of your videos came up on my TH-cam feed, so I checked it out and it sounded so much like the company I was just hired by. It helped me open my eyes and I quit soon after, especially after researching the company more and realizing how predatory it is. It is amazing how all these companies use the same wordage to suck people on and this one was no different.
So glad you didn’t get sucked in!
Glad you got out! Which one was it?
Oh my gosh!
Oh I want to know which company it is now ☕😂. Glad you got out before financial ruin!
Did you say hired??
Tummy tuck lady was literally SPIRALING and couldn’t even keep up with her lie. What a disaster that live was. 😂😭
I couldn’t understand … if her results from the product were so great, why get the surgery especially if now her claim is that she looks worse after the surgery??
I know, I was so confused as to what her defense was 😂
@@MelissaCaskey-wm7zp Tummy tuck isn't a weight loss surgery, its a surgery you do after weight loss, it removes excess skin and ties up muscles back into a shape so they don't have excess skin or a bump in their stomach.
I imagine she may have gained weight or not cared for her recovery properly after the tummy tuck, leading into a loss of results.
@@angematias4425if we go by the before, where was the excess skin in it? It’s deceptive though because she made it seem like the supplements are the sole reason for her weight loss after 9.5 years of exercising. She’s a scammer.
My "horrible corporate job" has provided me paid bereavement not once but twice. Once when my mom passed and when I had a miscarriage. Not all companies do the second one, but some of them do. Bonus, I didn't have to have my coworkers use those stories to shill the business.
This is awful.
yes! also in every job, coworkers will worry and care about you if you lose your family member.. why she is talking like that is something never happens in other companies..?? what kind of job she had before?
@@gacktist00 Papa John's.
@@sportzriter13 Right?! I'm in HR, so I know when every employee is out for bereavement or some other awful situation. It's never crossed my mind to put in our job ads, "And this is why you should work for our company. Because Employee A has cancer and Employee B's spouse just passed, and we support them by letting them continue to work from the funeral home and hospital during these tough times!"
Way better benefits in the "corporate world" My company unfortunately doesn't have the bereavement for a miscarriage but so many other ways they take care of me!
vehemently expressing the fact that you won’t march for deceased children but *will* pitch your mlm is so…on brand for these women lmao
Anyone else super excited to have a Hannah video to listen to while they work?❤
Yup! Monday sucks a little less now haha
currently.....
Her videos have been getting me through the heaviest commission season I’ve had yet
Exactly what I’m doing lol
You... "work"?!?! It's because you don't run your own business.
Have you heard about this awesome new opportunity...?
Jkjkjk😂🤣😂🤣
Why is it always called hate or shit talking, when someone is called out on their garbage? Accountability is not hate.
P.S. she didn't have time for this, bit she sure did run her mouth for ten minutes LMFAO 25:56
I think it's because people are mean about it. When you take the time to explain it strongly but kindly with the intent to change the person's mind, that's effective accountability. But just yelling at someone in all caps about how bad they are for what they did or said, that is hateful. Real accountability is not hate.
Because they hate to hear it
Even the first woman's baby is like 'mom, I might need to drown you out with my singing, because you're being nasty right now'.
I thought my cats were fighting.
I kept thinking it was my own son in the other room and had to keep pausing the video to check on him, I think he thought I was going crazy! Girl, quit shilling your nonsense and take care of your kid! Lol
Baby was like "Okay, I'm just going to keep singing and maybe everyone will turn you off and not buy your stuff!"
There's ALWAYS an ignored/neglected child in the background screaming in these videos.
How did you know it was that time of day where I blow dry my hair, drink my iced coffee, and hear more about the wild world of MLMs?? Perfectly timed
About to clean my pet's cage, so 100% agree, the timing really is perfect!

@@hacepaige Why do you keep wild animals as pets?
I've been very unfortunate that I have been widowed twice, once at 41 and then again just last year at 55. I've worked for the same soul crushing corporation for 21 years, in other words, throughout both of my bereavement periods. For both times, I received nearly a month off WITH PAY and the assurance that my job would be here when I was ready. I didn't go online and thank my company for allowing me the time off because it's literally in the employee handbook.
I am very sorry you have experienced such tragic losses. I am glad your employer was supportive.
I am so sorry you experienced so much grief. I can’t imagine. Wishing you moments of peace and lightness. ❤
I’m….so sorry
That's awful I'm so sorry you're going through that again. I hope you are able to find healing.
@@beckyzainoparks5227 Oh my word! To think you were lucky enough to to find two wonderful souls but then unlucky enough to see them go before their time... Your heart must be so strong. Sending you warm wishes for the year end.

"I'm not wasting my life and time to explain myself" as she makes an entire angry gaslighting video explaining herself lol. These people.
“I don’t have time for this” followed by 15 more minutes of incoherent rambling.
Lol fr. The constant contradictions from them all
As an ex Mormon and someone who went on a mission, the similarities are insane between mlms and missions! We were taught to get to know the person and “dig deep” and we would just wait for the moment for the person to say “this person died” or “I am struggling” or “I just had a baby” we would look for any opportunity to bring up something like the plan of salvation and to say families can be together forever and here’s how! It’s very opportunistic. We have a saying, “I’m sorry for the things I said when I was Mormon” the cringe I still feel from time to time for what I did thinking I was doing the right thing when in reality it was sooo inappropriate.
There's a reason MLMs do well in Utah.
Same thing with the cult I was raised in.
Mormonism should legit be illegal along with Scientology. We're not dumb babies anymore, most people intellectually know the difference between a religion and a cult. Biggest sign: if they threaten to ruin your life and cut you off from your entire family and community if you decide you want to leave, that is not a religion. And tbf, as someone raised Catholic, I 100% realize even within a "real religion" certain communities can and do behave cultishly. There's Opus Dei, ofc, but individual parishes could function like a cult easily.
I've listened to a long documentary about Scientology, they do that as well. So predatory.
There’s a reason most MLMs start in Utah and are Mormon in foundation lol
When your “thread to pull” to “better society” is greed masquerading as pseudo feminism…

That's horrifying

I've never heard of this phrase. Also, isn't pulling a thread bad? Doesn't pulling a thread ruin a sweater or something? What does the lady mean?
@@darbymori350I'm assuming she's thinking that if we all pull out threads we can unravel the evils in society. But to me it sounds like s call for direct action (but I'm in an active punk community so...)

Us pulling the anti-MLM thread 🪡 😅😅
😂😂
6:04 what’s absolutely amazing is when my coworker lost an immediate family member he was able to use his paid time off to be AWAY from work and still get paid. And on top of that the whole department rallied to support him and his family, plus his non-work support people were there
Exactly! That's the awful thing about having a regular job with a 'normal' company; you get to grieve away from work! She has a really bizarre point of view 😮
People in my team at work have had as much time off as they needed to grieve, and were able to return to work gradually starting with just a few hours a week. I have also had to use that that policy after losing a baby last year.
I've also made lifelong friends through work who are actually located close to me, and who I don't have to compete with to sell products or recruit other people.
She's totally not selling the MlM lifestyle here... 😂
If we ALL “pull threads”, won’t the blanket or tapestry or whatever fall apart?
I was thinking this too!! Shouldn't the analogy be to weave threads into the tapestry of whatever, why are we pulling it apart 😭 is that a Freudian slip for MLMs or something
This was the exact thing running through my mind as I watched!
To be fair, she’s talking about stopping school shootings (among other unspecified bad things), so it’s fine if the tapestry that allows for those things to happen falls apart
@@charlottet9035 Maybe that’s what she meant. It seemed like she was talking about lots of different “threads” pulled by lots of different people but I got a bit lost in the analogy.
100%. It’s an idiotic analogy and you nailed it perfectly.
I really wish that someone had been around in the early 2000s to stop me from trying every MLM out there to "help" my family. I did Tupperware, Partylite, Creatively Memories & Avon. I didn't help my family. Shocker, right!! 🙄🤣
I'm curious, once you get in how do you get out?
Don't feel bad. These people are professionals and have teams and scripts to manipulate people. It would be like me feeling guilty for losing a fight against Curtis Mayfield.
Feel proud of yourself for getting out.
My family has Tupperware and Avon products but no one was really in on it, thankfully. At least those two are useful and somewhat quality 😂
@@yamna_af you just stop selling and recruiting
Wait, Creative Memories is an MLM?!?!?!?! I never knew that! We went to tons of crops years ago. I knew you could only purchase from the consultant, but I didn't know they recruited a team under them and got cuts from their sales 😭
"I'm not going to protest and call for change. I'm going to recruit people to my MLM." I'm sure glad and excited to hear the amount of students and school staff that are going to be saved because of _multi level marketing_
Well clearly you haven’t stepped into your power yet!
So sick!
I still don’t understand what was her point was honestly. Is she saying ‘protests are useless that’s why I’m not there’ or just ‘oh thats not what I will do but I will join writeups’ or something like that?
It was one help of a leap!
I will NEVER believe that 40,000 people on her downline have been successful. Most of those people have a garage full of products and credit cards full of debt.
Very few, more probably none, of her downline is ‘successful’. The only people who make money in MLM’s are folks at the tippy-tops of the pyramid and everybody down below just scrambles to make money by recruiting more people themselves. Then *those* people scramble to recruit more saps, and so on and so on and etc.
My ex-wife was (still is?) involved with Young Living. At one point some women a few steps up in her up line (the ones making 2k-3k a month) started posting videos on Instagram about "honoring" your team when you got your monthly payout.
It had all the words of someone suggesting you do something nice, but it gave me bad feelings. Especially because they said to target the people in your down line that almost hit some new level and send them a $5 Amazon gift card. It had a "oh you like this? well theres more where that came from if you do well" vibe.
That's a small part of the nightmare that was watching my (now ex) wife become someone completely different after joining an MLM, but your last story brought up that specific memory.
Keep up the killer work Hannah!!
When that woman said she had a different “thread to pull” thirty times I thought she meant a different way to fight school shootings than protesting (like running for office, putting kids in private school, refusing to buy guns), but then she just meant…….she refuses to help fight against school shootings at all?? It’s not “her thread to pull” to even try and help? Even though someone very close to her got shot in a school shooting????
that amare rep saying twice "I was never big" and it's like okay girl we get it, you're scared of being fat 🙄
Honestly these people make me proud to be fat. "You were never like me? Thank goodness?"

I work with a non-profit that works with people struggling with addiction, I went to school to handle people with addiction, and I have grown up with addicts. One worry I do have with MLM huns using addiction for their pitch is, what if they end up getting someone struggling with addiction in their downline and that person they recruited eventually realizes that it didn't work out? The realization that you wasted time and money on a scam, and the embarrassment that comes from that, will likely cause that person to relapse back into their addiction.
Especially because they add all the fake "personal development" bs. It's playing with people's sobriety and lives to make money off them and it's disgusting.
"I'm not wasting my life to write back and clarify" ... I'll just make a whole video to clarify 😆
idk if it's just me, but the lady in the 3rd fail with the whole "i was smaller before, now i'm bigger and i keep drinking this juice" inevitably makes me think "could it be that that thing is what's making you bigger.. maybe?????" lmao she doesn't make any sense!
Right off the bat with the audacity. The husband díed the day before, and this woman is putting this family’s business out there. It wasn’t her news to share. I haven’t even finished watching the clip and already I’m horrified.
Wow, and the second story is somehow even worse.
My first thought too- this wasn't her story to share. She even gave the woman's name.
The widow is doing it herself also. She’s already shilling her tragedy.
“This business brought her friends!” And if my work brought me friends like you, lady, I’d be very disappointed. She’s a walking terrible advertisement for the community. How fundamentally disrespectful to put someone’s gut-wrenching pain on display without their consent.
Hannah, I have recently started watching your content and I have to say that not only are your videos very informative and enjoyable to watch, but I have gone back and watched your anti MLM videos, and they have helped me heal from my own MLM trauma. Thank you so much for the education and awareness you provide with your channel!!

My mum died when I was 23- I was broken and couldn’t cope but I still remember when a now ex ‘friend’ posted about losing my mum on fb before I had even told people online and it was all about how hard it was for HER to cope with 😡 I screenshotted it and never spoke to her again….. I despise these exploitative vultures who spin everything into a way of getting something from others in fake sympathy, monetarily and through their crappy MLMs!!
As an RN I have strong feelings about ozempic. I've had patients go into acute pancreatitis from it. People who aren't over weight are getting it, and it's causing them to engage in an ozempic eating disorder. And 60 lbs in 6 months is fine if the person starts out at 400lbs. But for the average person, that's not healthy.
And then there are tens of thousands of people using GLP-1s successfully with nearly zero side effects, reclaiming their health and well-being, but are shouted down by the small subsection of people who experience bad reactions.
Gastric bypass had this level of hate when it was first introduced and now no one cares if an obese person uses it to get their life under control. The media sure does a number on people
“I was smaller then than I am now!…so neither the tummy tuck nor this drink will work! But these kalteen bars will!”

Hannah, I wanted to say I’m really glad you’re still making anti-MLM content. I know you’ve blown up with your Influencer Insanity series (and we LOVE to see that!) but I started watching you years ago because of your anti-MLM content. In fact, you’re the only anti-MLM content creator I watch because of the way you approach the subject matter & the MLM reps. So I love that even though you’ve grown in part due to other types of content, you’re still producing this type of content. Thanks! ♥️

I love how that lady was saying "I was getting so much hate." When people are just calling her out for potential lies.
Her potential lies are actual lies given the fact that she claimed that her products helped her lose weight when she had a tummy tuck. However, I agree with you. Then instead of acknowledging it properly, she proceeds to gaslight people.

As a religious person, I’ve know many women who have fallen into MLM schemes while associating their incentives with God. It makes my stomach turn every time. It is so wrong and disgusting and I really appreciate your knowledge on their ingenuity. Keep it up girl!

Top Fail 3 tummy tuck person, I'm sorry, does anyone else hear how these liars always sound so out of breath and agitated, and still claim to be the realest of the real people? Real people don't have to say shit like that and if they did, maybe it would sound a bit more calm and self assured and not like they have to yell at you to convince how real they are 😂
Is it because they are pretending to be working out? Or because they are spewing word garbage faster than they can breathe?
This tummy tuck supplement woman makes me RAGEFUL. Listening to her is just full bs and gaslighting.
I know everyone isn't great in front of a camera and I think that she did say she just finished working out, but when people get on camera and are super breathless, rambling on and on, hardly making sense, moving around all over the place, I have such a hard time paying attention. It comes across as having very low confidence which makes me believe her even less than I already do and see right through all the lies lol
I’m bloated wait no I’m not bloated because I take this supplement. 🫠 Maybe she should have re-recorded that
Congrats on having over half a million subs Hannah!! I've been here since you started anti MLM and am so proud to support you!
Ive been watching the MLM horror stories for about 2 years now- my question is why do these people speak like this? I would never work with or buy from someone who cusses constantly in an angry manner, its just not professional.
The GLP-1 hate is hard for me because I have an extremely healthy diet with plenty of calories (1800-2500 per day) and it has really made a huge difference for me. I gained 60 lbs from prescription and injected steroids during medical care and no combination of calorie cutting, exercise, and nutrition helped, even under the supervision of a dietician and medical doctor. As soon as I started semaglutide, it started dropping. Maybe I’m in the minority, I don’t know, but it’s really hard for me to see people have such strong negative opinions on something they haven’t tried or if they haven’t had to deal with obesity that doesn’t respond to the traditional - eat less, move more. This isn’t to speak up against anything Hannah said, just an addendum to her own insight. And this hun shilling some herbal pill nonsense is just gross. GLP-1 meds are not to be taken lightly and need to be under the supervision of a medical professional, they aren’t just some supplements you take based on the recommendation of some rando on TikTok. Ok, I’m off my soapbox now. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Sorry to rabble in your comments, Hannah!
I’m glad they work well for you but cosmetic usage negatively impacts the diabetic patients’ access to the GLP-1 medications. That’s the only reason I’m personally critical of cosmetic usage of these medications. It doesn’t help that the cosmetic usage favours white-able bodies and financially able people over disadvantaged minorities, as they are able to access the doctors and able to pay the over fees.
You’re absolutely right and so valid, it’s a _medication_ that exists to help people with very real medical problems. It’s not the same scale, but perhaps a parallel is how adderall can have a bad reputation as “just some narcotic people abuse,” but that was never the point of the medication. Adderall helps many ADHD people to function at all in their daily lives. Medications aren’t bad or good, and they were innovated because people need them. Their use is between individuals and their doctors.
So yeah, honestly I feel like so much rage wouldn’t be associated with this medication if it weren’t for the manufacturers themselves being so bad at scaling production to match market demand. I don’t know if it’s made out of unicorn tears or something or if it’s just their way to create false scarcity to keep the price high. And to be honest, I’m not clear on whether patients still face shortages or if that was an issue that existed in the past but has passed now. I want people to stop pointing fingers at each other and instead band together and put pressure on manufacturers to actually make these life-saving and health-saving medications available, if that’s the problem driving controversy about its use. Problems don’t get solved by individuals fighting each other. They get solved by holding power accountable and addressing the problem at its root.
Idk if there are people out there who are like 120 pounds using it to hit 110 pounds or something, but I don’t care because it’s not my body and not my business. If content creators want to share info on existence of side effects and possible risks, and remind people to carefully consult their doctors if it’s right for them, that’s fine. But it’s not useful to police whether it’s valid for someone to use a medication. People own their own bodies and are entitled to make decisions about them. And, they’re the only ones who have to live in that decision, whether to take or not to take a medication, and the downside or benefit of taking OR not taking it. It’s a separate issue worth calling out if people are falsely labeling supplements as being something they are not and scamming people out of money, but that doesn’t mean GLP-1 agonists are bad. Chemicals are just chemicals, they are tools that can be utilized for a purpose. I’m really glad medicine has found something to help people stuck in the position you were in!
( -also sorry I’m so painfully wordy omg- )
@@elif6908 OP clarified that they were using it for a medical reason, not a cosmetic reason. High body fat percentage can place strain on the whole bodily organism, and cause a host of downstream negative health effects. Losing weight IS a medical use of the medication, and what a doctor decides for their patient is not our business to police. We didn’t go to medical school and OP is not a patient under our care. We are not in a position to render judgment on the validity of the prescription.
If the issue is shortage of medication availability, the problem may lie with manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, raw material sourcing, maybe government policy, or something else I can’t think of. What is driving those bottlenecks? How can we address it? Is it needed to protest the manufacturers, or the drug companies that own the patents? Do we need to pressure our elected officials to change policy? Many people need this medication. Getting more of it available in pharmacies is the goal. Increasing production is a long-term solution to sustainably overcoming that problem.
@@elif6908 I mean, mine is compounded from a compounding pharmacy, so it's not the same supply chain as what's used in diabetic medications. And mine is very inexpensive because it's from a compounding pharmacy - less than $200/month. I realize that's a lot for many folks, but it's not the thousands of dollars I hear other folks are paying.
@@alexia3552 Hello, fellow wordy friend :-)
I love when they always sound so conflicted in the beginning. Like, Should I share this? ....Yes, and it's a great opportunity to pitch my product.
I always appreciate how empathetically you treat these huns and how you don't go after appearance and instead focus on building your argument. It's a breath of fresh air these days!
I’m going to make an influencer/mlm hun bingo card. A few highlights: video while in the car, video in the car while driving, loud kid noises in the background, “It’s a Blessing”. Etc.
“All the things”, “pouring into” someone, them mentioning “haters”, them yelling,
business opportunity
“Work from home”, “flexible hours”
general corporate/normal job slander.
“Spend more time with my kids/be home more often”
“It works if you want it to/put in the effort to succeed”
"She's able to grieve the loss of her husband and still make a monthly income" IDK about the US, but here in the UK, if you have a regular 9-5 job, your employer allows compassionate leave if you lose someone. In all my jobs, that has been paid. It is bizarre to me someone would have to thank their MLM for still bringing in an income if they can't work due to a bereavement.
My friend also experienced a period of time in which she wasn’t able to work while she was a sole income earner. Guess what? She still had a monthly payment because she has a job, her healthcare is paid for, and her colleagues gave her space and support. She also has lots of friends who visited her, helped her take care of stuff, etc. That’s not unique to an MLM. It’s actually safer to have a normal job that doesn’t require you to work and allows you to take PTO. The delusional excuses these people come up with are so pathetic and ridiculous. And so not revolutionary
That first girl is going to be so surprised when she finally realizes that she has more Amare product in her garage than what she has actually sold and quits and then all those “friends” disappear.
11:12
Say “thread” one more time 😂😂
Geeeez🙄
😂😂
I would tell that 3rd lady to her face that she's fake. lol!
That tummy tuck woman was so annoying, her voice and way of speaking alone felt very aggravating… the way she’s breathing alone says it all how often she truly works out smh
And that she's likely not doing a cool off session. I'm definitely not out of breath after that
Can I just say that I am very grateful to Hannah. Thank you so much for being such a sane, honest, modest and delicate beautiful person! Thank you for taking care of people, warning them of scammers. I always 100% agree with everything you say. Thank you for your work. Your videos also help topractise my English. You speak very nicely with beautiful expressions. Love you! 🌸 Hello from 🇰🇿
I actually shouted "SHUT UP" at the woman trying to profit off her friend's husband's death. That is horrific
I moved to Carmel, IN very shortly before the school shooting at the middle school in the neighboring town she was talking about. That was so, so scary and I never, ever would have guessed something like that would have happened there. To turn that whole situation into an MLM pitch grosses me out beyond belief, because that is so personal to everyone living in this county, even if we're not in that school district.
FWIW, Carmel is a wonderful place to live. We deinitely don't need predatory hunbots here though.
The Matthew 19:26 one had me laughing on the floor. We all know the two creaters: The Lord and Plexus 😂😂😂
😂😂
Name a more dynamic duo. I'll wait 😅
Dietitian here. 60lbs a month is not an inappropriate weight loss. Of course, there’s always nuances.
Maybe if you start at 450 lbs, it's not.
So, if the Amare benefits are sooo great, why wasn't this poor widow able to support her family solely with that before her husband even died? That poor woman - to have her tragedy broadcast on social media and her so-called "friends" trying to make money off of her, and use her to recruit more people.
How is it that everytime I watch one of your videos it instantly puts me in cleaning mood and I start cleaning my apartment while listening to you? It must have something to do with your very easy to listen to language. I'm not a native english speaker but watch mostly english YT. You are easy to understand and have a very nice pace to follow while doing other stuff :)
Oh my gosh! That Bodi one was a mess, especially in hindsight. Horrible life events should never be a part of any pitch.
The algorithm suggested 1 of your Influencer Insanity videos a few days ago and I’ve binged roughly 40 of your videos and am obsessed 😂👏🏼 so thank you for the amazing research and fact finding you do! I’ve sent you to many friends who all have loved your videos! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago and now I'm hooked too! 😊
11:17 doesn't "pulling the thread" unravel the whole thing?!
Fits, though
how long did y'all's Thanksgivings last before a family member tried pitching you an mlm?? it only took 10 minutes before the pampered chef cataloged started to make its way around the room. I was silently trying to tell my mom DONT BUY THE PAMPERED CHEF and luckily she did not buy anything
“Everyone who’s been following me for a long time knows…”
That’s clear deception for NEW viewers, which you always try to get!
My mom recently got a tummy tuck after having 4 kids because of stubborn weight around her midsection and was very embarrassed about it- she told me she was having a woman surgery and I WAS SO SCARED bc I thought it was ovarian or cervical or breast cancer but my dad told me and asked me to not say anything
Omg 😅 maybe I shouldn't laugh, but I would think the same thing if my mom said that!
Love all your videos, but "MLM top fails" are my favorites. I am so happy to have a new one to add to the list.
The Happy Juice girl says she can't call it that, but calling it "HJ" ain't too good either
😂😂😂
6:38 I literally could not pay attention to this woman's rambling with her child just going on and on and on and on and on in the background.
I was just about to time stamp and write the same thing!!
Its sooo annoying.. like do you have to do this in your car with your child there?? Can't you do this in a quiet and respectful space? Not like she's respectful, but y'know 😂
oh please her kid was hardly making noise. little kids make sounds because they are still learning and its sweet. im not a kid person but i have enough empathy to not be annoyed. 🙄
@@murisahI think they're less annoyed about the kid and more annoyed about the mom not checking on the kid. Other people have said the noise made them check up on theit own kid so it clearly isn't just fun experimental noises, some of it can be seen as distress.
@@kelsey7731samers!
The tummy tuck girl... she said both photos/reels you showed are before the surgery. The after photo/reel still has a little roll that she didn't like, so she got a tummy tuck. So she's now post-op and bigger then that after photo/reel you showed. She explained it really bad and is mad everybody is calling her a liar because she didn't lie (according to her, don't come at me).
Girl, that story w a tummy tuck makes me so mad. I had so many issues w bloating..so I went to an actual medical doctor. I had to get a colonoscopy, endoscopy & with that and a change of things that I was eating/medication- I changed it. quit trying to panhandle ur supplements
Top fails are my favourite videos, so happy to have a new one to watch as I have finally seen the entire anti-MLM playlist!
Just going to say, im watching this on hard earned PTO right now.. and when I am at work, I don't have to work nearly that hard to make everyone "get" what i do.. 🤷♀️
Hannah can you please do a video on reacting to MLMs portrayed on films and TV shows? I recently saw it on Young Sheldon and thought of how funny it would be to see you make some light-hearted content on these exploitative businesses while still being informative.
I popped this on to listen during lunch. My three year old says, "Mom! Can I see her?" *Showed her the screen *
"Oh! She has two cats! I like her cats." 😂
So cute!
As someone who lived in Carmel when that shooting happened and now lives near Carmel…it infuriates me that she would bring up those poor people to hawk her stupid MLM!!
I don't shop where the owner drops f-bombs in every sentence. I can walk in to any jr high school during recess for that
