AJ thinks this video is too long and that no one would want to watch a video that was over an hour. Like this comment if you’re proving him wrong 😉 Also stay tuned for a Cooper cameo at the end 😻
I love long videos! And I'm here for a Cooper cameo! 🐈
I LOVE long anti MLM videos. keep them coming, Hannah 🥰
I loved it! Folded all my laundry for the first time in 6 months while watching this in the background
Aye, aye, aye, ayyyeeee. I’m here for ya queen
I love your content so much that if you posted hour long videos _every day_ I'd watch them all in full without fail.
"I could be on a beach in Greece working from my phone"
Weird brag. I could be on a beach in Greece not working at all because I have paid vacation.
Also, if you could, why aren't you? 🤔🤔(I mean the hun, not you😅)
I think it’s fine to say your job has flexibility, and you can work from anywhere. I wouldn’t act like it’s a vacation, though. How can you enjoy yourself if your upline are harassing you and pressuring you to join calls?
You can take weeks off and make money even WITHOUT your phone
“I can work on vacation”. Then that’s not vacation babe.
lol rigjt imagine bragging about the ***privilege*** of working on vacation
Lol that's one reason I quit my retail job. Not an mlm, but my boss said that if I needed anything I could contact her while she was on vacation. I didn't want anyone contacting me on vacation when it was my turn
I just don't understand why they WANT to work on vacation. My vacations are usually unplugged because I like to ENJOY my time and live in the moment
Periodt💯
@@imzabatch lol yeah that always got me 😂 not a flex haha
Imagine owning your OWN beauty "business" and doing a 50 minute live, only to never mention the quality or use of the products you sell. (Tell me you're in a pyramid scheme without telling me you're in a pyramid scheme.)🤦🏽♀️
You can't be more right ✔ ✅ outstanding 👏
Exactly 💯!!
I did not even think about that! Best point made!
They think that saying people need to buy the products and use the products first in enough to make it seem like they actually use/like/stand behind the actual quality of the products even though, well, it isn't lol.
Right? That was an hour of whining about how they're NOT a scheme, how terrible
My "excuse" would have to be "I can't work with people who behave this way." Even if Monat wasn't a scam, can you imagine how horrible it would be to work with these women?
I worked with girls like this can confirm it is awful.
I always say, "I am not interested in working any position that requires sales and recruiting. I would rather eat shards of broken glass than try to recruit everyone I know into my downline."
It's like constantly being in direct competition with a relentless group of "frenemies".
@@ladyv5655 I'm just horrified at what I heard here. "Put it on your credit card"??? What? In other words, build up debt. The credit card has to be paid off, at high interest rates, regardless of how little you make. Hat woman keeps on about millionaires. She can't know any. My parents were wealthy because my father has a very successful group of Jewellery Stores. They would never brag about that. It's vulgar. Same with some friends who are wealthy, they are successful but don't talk about it. It's vulgar. I'm successful because I have a great education (thanks mom & dad) and work hard at a job I love. My monthly salary if very healthy. I own my house and car. I have insurances and investments. All my friends are gainfully employed and don't need pyramid schemes. She talks about her hustle. My job is not a hustle. Hustlers are conmen. What a pair of idiots. I have a large number of staff and each one is more intelligent than these 2.
@@ladyv5655 well said 😂😂
Having some 31 yr old lady that speaks like she’s a yr old 14 tell me, an actual business owner, that I’m uneducated about her scam is both sad and hilarious.
THIS! Seriously, full scholarship at a top-20 law school, turned down partial scholarships from a top 5 and a top 10 and I’M uneducated because I know you’re in a pyramid scheme with your 6th-grade level education and ZERO class?! LMAO Sure babe, whatever helps you sleep at night with no actual accomplishments…
I think it's my favourite part of this 😂😂
Her bringing up the Stella Lieback coffee case makes my blood boil. That poor woman received third degree burns and lived the rest of her life in pain. McDonald's purposefully overheated their coffee to temperatures that cause THIRD DEGREE BURNS and people act like Stella was silly and didn't realize it was slightly warm. Before Stella, dozens of employees sustained serious burns from the coffee. It's not something to roll your eyes at
Every "frivolous lawsuit" against a major corporation is likely actually a serious issue. Companies pay millions to have a PR team spin a lawsuit to sound overblown and senseless to cover up their own misconduct
More than just that, McDonald's specifically went out of their way to financially fund 'campaigns' against Stella, dragging her name and her perfectly valid lawsuit through the mud intentionally. They knew she was in the right, they knew she had a valid case, and they still thought it was okay to literally pay people to call her suit 'frivolous' and protest on McD's behalf. Too few people realized that a multi-million-dollar corporation demonizing a single old lady could've been a ploy for public sympathy.
I thought the same thing about this. How can a person get third degree burns from spilling a little bit of coffee? It must be a scam. Then I saw an actual picture of this elderly lady with these horrible, burns. It must have spilled directly on her skin. It was true. I’m glad she won.
That made me so mad as well. Talk about not doing their research! That poor woman suffered so much. It literally melted her skin!
Thank you! A lot of people make fun of that case. Poor lady!
If I remember right, it was much worse. I think McDonald's settled out of court and paid her bills, but she was also hit with some kind of a gag order so she wasn't allowed to talk about it; and that's when McDonald's let conspiracy theories run wild about stupid frivolous lawsuits.
Her response to "why this isn't a pyramid scheme" is literally the most blatant explanation of a pyramid scheme from a hun I've ever seen, I'm dead lol. "we don't make shit if we don't help others make money"... ma'am, that is exactly what makes it a pyramid scheme.
SO FUNNY 😂
But yet, anti-MLM-ers are uneducated. 😂😂😂
Monat doesn’t take the car back . It gets repossessed if you can’t make the payments and your credit is ruined…”MaKe It MaKe SeNsE”
It’s great if you have a family member that can help you get a car if you’re still building your credit, but I would NOT co-sign for an MLM car. The income is way too unstable to guarantee that you’ll be able to make the payments.
When did monetising everything in your life become a thing? Why can’t you just spend money on a hobby that you love or going out to dinner without getting a financial reward back. To me it’s just arrogant and entitled to assume that everyone owes you money for everything that you say and do.
THAT. LAST. SENTENCE. 🙌🏼
THIS! My dad used to try to get me to ask companies for freebies because I would tag them in my aerial hoop pictures because my friends always asked where I got my leggings from. He still can't understand why I won't. It's just too cringe for me.
100%
It's so dystopian.
Its Monat-izing 😂
I swear I cannot imagine anyone in a professional or nonprofessional setting responding to someone telling them they don't have the money with _"Uhhhhhh, you just bought a soda yes you do"_ and not ending up with a broken nose, ngl.
"You just bought a soda" hahaha I genuinely chuckled reading this.
“Um, you got TWO toppings on your pizza last night. You have the money.”
Answer: "Sodas are cheap and abundant and I like them. Whatever it is that you are selling, not so much. "
"you got guacamole at chipotle you know you got money."
The way the girl at the bottom keeps interrupting is SENDING me
I’m always baffled when the huns are like, “Get a side gig so you can raise the money to invest in this business!” If I find a side gig that works with my schedule and makes me money, why would I put that money into a different, riskier business when I could just continue with my current one? 🤔
Yesss that’s what I’m saying!! 🙌🏼
because we're all uNeDucATeD
Lularoe telling ppl to sell breast milk to invest in their business… why don’t we just go sell a kidney or sign up for medical testing?…
@@jamestrickington5525it's a deal and a special sale.
Sell your kindey and your soul -
Monat owns you as a whole
Wash away your brain and wit
You must buy the starter kit
Since “Make it make sense” is her catchphrase, it’s pretty apparent that she took that as a call to action. The mental gymnastics she had to go through to believe what she is saying is wild
My brain hurts from the amount of times she repeated this. 😩
Yeah, my thought was you can keep saying it, over and over, it doesn't make what you're saying make any more sense.
I think she watches one of my favorite true crime TH-camrs, Annie Elise. That's her catchphrase, and she has it on her merch. Just another thing she has stolen and regurgitated.
I'm replaceable in my 9-5, but if my company ever closes down or I get fired, i can apply for the same role at 10,000+ other companies and just go work there for the same (or higher!) pay. If an MLM shuts down and you wanna go to another one, you're back to the bottom of the pyramid, baby
MLM companies can "cancel" or kick people out.
@@luvzdogz Exactly. And they can't even go to another MLM and continue making the same money. They'd have to go back to the bottom. So their argument is backwards
Such a good point!
Plus if they shut down you’ll get severance presumably
"Why draw when you can trace?" Maybe 'cause being a professional tracer is highly frowned upon.
Right?! Like... I trace for practice and I don't sell the art because if I traced it it's NOT MY ART
THANK YOU! As an artist that statement hurt to the soul
“Why come up with new, innovative, original art (business) ideas when you can trace (work) someone else’s ideas (business) under the illusion that it’s yours? 🤪”
Because tracing something and presenting it as your own is plagiarism? It’s unethical and could be illegal.
Oh wait, they don’t know what ethics are. Forgot that part.
Unless you work in animation 😉
I’m very passionate about my job. I’m a high school social studies teacher, I don’t live pay check to paycheck, and I impact lives every day. But tell me more about how a pyramid scheme is better than that.
Amen, from fellow 2nd grade teacher.
OMG SHE SAID IT HERSELF! “Facts are not attacks” yet somehow when the anti-MLM community states the facts we’re just haters attacking their “business”. So frustrating!!
_"I don't know many millionaires except like two people from high school."_
Do...do many people know even one millionaire personally? Am I missing out on something?
I don’t know any. If i do then they’re really good at hiding it lol
And if you do they’re an old person and it’s their whole life’s savings for retirement lol
Or she grew up in a wealthy area and those kids inherited from their parents
@@10feralratsinacoat76 she even said about only knowing a few “self-made millionaires” but went on to mention some friends who took over their parents’ business. Lol… that’s not self-made. It’s also irrelevant to her attempts to reel people into her scam.
I actually knew one, but I never knew it until after she passed away.
Was I shocked by that!
I know lots of millionaires. My parents, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents, my neighbours, the guy I just saw walking down the street. Did I mention I live in southern Ontario?
Yeah, it's the condescending tone that gets me, too. If this is how they were pitching to me, it wouldn't win me over. They have no idea how to talk to people and just act like teenagers.
I think sometimes that I haven't grown up and then I see these eternal high school brat girls.
@@draconicfeline6177oh they PEAKED in high school for sure. People get “stuck” in a year that they consider their prime. That’s why you see people dressed like they were when they were younger.
@@draconicfeline6177thankfully I’ve never peaked 😂 I’m trying to get to a high point though!
no wonder they don't want to "work a 9-5", they'd get fired so fast with how they speak and treat other people (although some companies truly don't care lmao)
I LOVE that you will appear makeup-free. You are a natural beauty and are all about the content, not self-promotion. And sitting with you while you get made up, have a snack, or sip some coffee is like hanging out with a friend. A smart friend. A knowledgeable friend. Fantastic.
The balcony girl keeps posing for the camera. 🤣
She is a freaking bobblehead 😂
Exactly
_"I wanted find a way to be paid for being myself. Every job I had, I had to become someone they wanted me to be."_
That's called professionalism. It's there to keep the integrity of the brand, attract the most customers, and protect both employees and customers from poor behavior or abuse. Is she going to use "Lol this is just me" when she tells someone they're lazy and uneducated and broke on a team call for not leveling up?
Yes! Every time I go to work I always make sure I put my ‘professional hat’ on , that’s you know called going to work 🤷♀️.
Besides I’m sorry, it lets me know it’s time to go to work and be productive. I can be a lazy slob on my off days. 😆
@@SallidrasArtStudio now that’s true time freedom ! Once we go home we can do whatever the hell we want , we don’t have to take our work with us everywhere we go unlike the poor huns :( .
@@erinw8787 So true. I love my job. I'm successful. I own my house, have investments and don't have to use my credit card to buy product To sell. I earn 6 figures annually, own my car, although it was gifted by my company. I have 5 weeks paid leave annually, medical insurance, a double cheque in December, paid sickness leave, shares in the company because I earned them and many other benefits. I have a large number of staff, each one of them brighter than these two hustlers. I'm going to play this video to staff tomorrow. Can't wait for their reaction.
I imagine that yes, that’s exactly what she does.
Not giving a crap about hair and makeup isn’t an excuse not to sell hair and makeup products, it’s a reason. I am not going to sell stuff to ppl that I don’t use or like because I have ethics and morals.
You are so right. Who would you want to get your makeup and skincare from, these two (who give zero f*cks), or Robert & James Welsh (who are both incredibly passionate)? When you care about your products, it SHOWS.
YES! I love that and I’m stealing it: “It’s not an excuse. It’s a reason.”
When she said they have doctors and lawyers on the team I blurted out loud "NO YOU DONT!"
Hahaha thought the same!!
Same
I think the hun was talking about her previous job having a dress code, which is pretty universal. Sometimes you have a uniform, sometimes it’s just “business casual” or something, but it’s especially important when you’re interacting with the public. I can see why a person might be annoyed by it, but nobody wants to eat at a restaurant where the cooks don’t have their hair tied back and look like they just walked in off the street. Nobody will take a lawyer seriously if they show up to court in sweatpants and a hoodie. Maybe it isn’t fair, but that’s how people work. They expect you to dress for the job you have. 🤷♀️
Haha this makes me think of the lawyers who got in trouble during lockdown for showing up for virtual court in bed, without pants 😆
"Why draw when you can trace?" because, my dear, that is called plagiarism and is in fact frowned upon in most societies
Was this a deliberate Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Reference because it was fabulous
@@Pippa87 It was! Thank you. :)
As a sketch artist, I was personally offended by that comment lol drawing actually takes skill and learning.
I am so glad that you set the record straight about the MacDonalds coffee case. I was hoping you would as soon as she mentioned it. You never disappoint! Love your content!
Agreed!! I was about to comment if she hadn't made that point. My best friend wrote a thesis on that case for a law school project so I got the whole run down of what it was actually about....it was awful!
I’m also glad that she mentioned that! It’s the first example when people bring up “frivolous” law suits and it was so far from being an unnecessary lawsuit.
Commercial coffee makers have hotter water than home coffee makers. The hotter the water, the more flavor from the ground coffee. So don't put any paper cup of coffee between your legs when driving.
@@carolsummers8734 She wasn't driving and the coffee was well above the temperature most coffee places would serve at. She won for good reason. McDonald's were being negligent by serving drinks at that temperature. When you buy a coffee it's expected that you should be somewhere around a drinkable temperature and that coffee was entirely unsafe to drink.
But what about the fact that her hypothetical was that someone lit her dog on fire???? Of all the scenarios to come up with, that wouldn’t be on my list. Who jokes about that?
When she said she paid off her student loans all I could think was "girl, you shoulda gotten a refund because clearly their instructors were not effective!" They also remind me of a woman in the documentary about flat earthers (I think it's called Behind the Curve?) when she explains her way of thinking, has the brief realization that it made no sense ,and then finishes out by doubling down on her illogical belief. Like, if they just listened to themselves, they do a decent job of explaining why they're wrong!
my friend works as a flight attendant for hawaiian airlines and they are super strict about tattoos, makeup, jewelry, hair style etc. but a lot of people i know want that job so most people won’t bitch about it because there is always someone who would be willing to take their place. i also worked at a catholic school for a long time, and there were certain things that we couldn’t do (colorful hair, visible tattoos, etc) but like you said, it’s professionalism, and there are times in life when you just have to be professional 🤷🏽♀️
Disneyland’s the same way. They’ve recently allowed for more employee expression re: gender identity and such, but people were still lining up to work there before the changes.
"they've been around for centuries, 50 years, 100 years, 30 years" babygirl u sure u know what century is? (this is somethin else lol)
HAHA to be honest I didn’t catch her saying that while filming but I noticed it while editing and was dying 😂
Yes I caught that and was like what? 😂😂😂 Lol
She sounds like my 4th grader trying to remember the difference between a decade and a century. 😝
"The others that are above us have been around for centuries. NOT AN EXAGGERATION!" Yeah, either she doesn't know what "century" means, or she doesn't know what "exaggeration" means.
Especially when she said "I'm not even exaggerating." Actually, that's precisely what you're doing.
Do they know what the word century means? “Centuries: 100 years, fifty years, 30 years.” I can’t. 😂
It’s beyond hilarious when they say “I can literally book a trip tomorrow and keep on working.” Honey, that’s most remote companies - the catch is you’re still working.
"My passion was never hair... my passion is money" there. Fixed it for you.
If she did actually try to sell shampoo to me I'd definitely want to know why she's hiding her hair under a bucket hat
Also the other one clattering about, wandering about, looking like she's ready to run the second the live ends, very professional
How sad is it that girl was basically pressured to stand awkwardly outside on her balcony instead of just rescheduling the call until after she had her wifi set up
And balcony girl is just a bobblehead.
And highrise balconies are cold at night too, I would be freezing.
@carolsummers8734 🤣🤣🤣 I am SO late watching these videos but I made a comment about this 😂 So glad someone else thought the same!
I’ve already commented but I have to say one more thing. I imagine the Monat owners (where the real money is) sit and watch this mess and laugh and laugh and think “we can get these people to say and do anything”. It’s sad and cringeworthy at the same time.
I always comment a few times on Hannah’s videos bc I’ll stop & comment on something crazy the MLM rep says or does & I’ve just did one comment it would be a novel. 😂😂😂
Hey it helps algorithm right?
Why do they always use the vacation and work scenario? WHY would you want to work during your vacation?!
I HATE when people bring up that coffee lawsuit cause that poor elderly lady had 3rd degree burns so bad that she couldn't walk!! Which was 100% wrong and awful! Thank you for talking about it
Putting hot coffee in a paper cup between your legs while driving is not the fault of the seller.
@@carolsummers8734 educate yourself before you talk. First of all she was not driving she was a passenger and they were stopped. Second of all her coffee was almost 200° and caused 3rd degree burns to her entire thighs and crotch. McDonald's refused to take any accountability for their coffee being scalding hot and all she wanted was her medical bills paid for and they refused. I'm tired of people defending large corporations like they're not the problem.
when she said people don’t give a shit about you and you can be replaced ! that’s so so true especially in MLM’s i’ve been in like ten different MLM’s and as soon as i stopped selling / didn’t want to participate anymore no one talked to me ..
EXACTLY the same experience for me! I had all these hun "friends" checking in on me daily, liking and interacting on all my social media daily, asking about my life and family daily, but when I quit? Crickets and/or unfriended/blocked! 😂 Real friends, huh?
Imma be real with y'all: Cooper's cameos legit make my day.
When someone tells an MLMer that they don't have the money, it's like when a guy tells you he doesn't want to get married. Actually, sweetie, he just doesn't want to marry YOU! Huns, we're just not that into you!
Not everyone wants to get married
@@anon8068 Agreed.
@@anon8068while I agree, I think it’s our biological drive to pair up. Men later in life than women of course.
“we’re just not that into you” is gold
My mother in law once said, “Notice how these MLM people never want to say what product they are hawking. They want to loop you into some kind of meeting.” And then I told her Papparazzi jewelry for example had so much lead in it and her face was shocked. My sister in law said someone had just been trying to recruit my mother in law.
Most people’s jobs are just that, JOBS that pay your bills and allow you to spend your extra time/money on other things that you enjoy. It’s unrealistic to expect that everyone is going to find gainful employment doing something they are passionate about. Also, I’m not sure if it’s healthy to define yourself based on what you do for work.
I like my job a lot , but I do it so I have money for my hobbies and other things I enjoy - and you know , to pay my bills and shit lol .
It’s not healthy to have your whole life be work. Voice of experience. It’s not healthy to make anything your whole purpose.
This lady talks so dismissively of lawsuits where people are legitimately trying to get justice and compensation like they're all just liars and thieves when she seems like the type to try to sue you for asking a question she doesn't like in her comments for "being mean".
“Centuries- 15 years, 20 years, 30 years”
Decades babe…you mean decades 😂😂😂😂
Lmao I heard that too.
The worst part of the pitches is when they decide to delegate your money spending before you've even joined, or thought about joining. It's just bullying money out of people's pockets.
“No is a complete sentence.” YESSSSS Hannah! Loved that!
Thank you for going into detail about the circumstances of the ‘hot coffee’ case! Thank god you’re an educated content creator!!!! The woman also suffered severe mental health issues after the incident and has received backlash for something that MacDonald’s admitted was their fault!!!
It's great how every negative point they bring up is their 'favourite' or 'hilarious' and you can tell they're just seething with frustration
“Cuz I love fondue but I hate fish” made me laugh so hard idk why
😂 ‘HUN’educated 😂 Yes, I really thought I heard that at about 3:45 into this 😅 I had to replay it and no, she clearly said ‘uneducated’ but it’s too late and ‘Huneducated’ is now a real word to me 😂
Lmao I love that!!!!
Just because a company settles doesn't been the lawsuit was not factual. I worked for an insurance defense and workerman's comp law firm. Settling often means "we will have to pay you less out of court than we likely would if we went to court."
They give me "I peaked in high school vibes" 😅
imagine being one of their customers watching this live of them talking about how hair and skin isn't their passion **cringe asf**
Definitely not something I feel like they should be advertising!
I'm at this point of the video rn and I'm like 😮😮😮
What I find funny is the ladies are never willing to buy a starter pack for someone. If they are making so much money and are confident the money can be made back right away wouldn’t buying it for a person be a no brainer ??
👏 !!!!
Such a valid point!
Right?? I seriously thought she was going to use that as selling point! That she believes so much in business that she helped the other girl buy it. But nope, put it on your credit card, or sell something you own
Man… hearing her say she told some poor soul to “find something to sell” made me sad and mad at the same time. Ugh
I've been bingeing your MLM Fails series because 1) MLMs are awful 2) I have a morbid fascination with seeing the types of things that MLM 'huns' are putting out there and 3) you do a great job at articulating the points you're making and you're very enjoyable to watch!
I work in HR and I just gotta say, from an HR perspective these girls have a really odd view of what a modern, "corporate" job looks like. We're in the middle of the "great resignation" right now, meaning there are SO many companies trying to hire and offering great job opportunities, compensation, benefits, etc. If they were in "corporate" jobs that they didn't like, didn't feel passionate about, didn't feel like they could be their authentic selves at, etc., they probably should've considered trying to find a job with a different company rather than.....paying money to become an independent contractor for a company that doesn't offer you any guaranteed income, doesn't offer any benefits, offers zero job security... I could go on but I won't.
Anyway, keep up the great work!
Hi Carli!! Yes I completely agree! Their idea of “corporate” usually consists of 9-5, poorly lit cubicle, exhaustion, overworked, underpaid, etc. but it doesn’t have to be that way! There are SO MANY “typical” jobs out there that offer great benefits and that people find enjoyable!
Hun: You're not a sales person, neither am I!
Also Hun: _spends hours on team calls and social media pitching their "business" but it's not sales guys for realsies_
If it’s not sales, then they lost their defense against “it’s not a pyramid scheme”. Sales is literally the distinction between the legal definition of pyramid scheme and sales company!
the dynamic is fascinating here
Had that McDonald's coffee case not happened, I might have gotten severe burns when I got hot water spilled on me from a coffee maker at a fast food job a few years after that. The water still burned me, but it could have been much worse, and I recovered from it the same day after just a few hours of pain and no lasting skin damage. Most people don't file lawsuits like that frivolously, they are doing it to get fair compensation and hopefully prevent others from experiencing the same thing.
Exactly- unless the person is super wealthy or really entitled and insane, because regular people don't have the money or time to file lawsuits outside of a serious circumstance. I'm very glad that woman won and that the temperature was made to be lowered but that never should have even happened in the first place and I hate that she had to be so badly hurt for things to be made right and I hate that she gets so much hate.
Thank you so much for giving the details about the McDonalds lawsuit. It’s also heartbreaking that she was elderly, she only wanted her medical bills covered and they were horrible to her and that’s why it went as far as it did.
_"Oh I know the last one, the lawsuits."_
Yeah, that's the one I want to end my team calls on.
“Paid from the comfort of my phone”. Ma’am, you don’t even have reception
The girl on the top was looking at herself the entire time in the view finder. Lol.
That was my thought too: even w/ faces blurred out, it seems like she is posing and checking herself out instead of interacting w/the other lady (who just doesn't shut up anyway).
Lol yes, but because the other girl was talking non stop.
Their whole entire “car argument” made no sense whatsoever. If you work for a company that gives you a company vehicle, sure if you quit they take the vehicle back…but you didn’t have to BUY THE VEHICLE first. 🤔🤦🏻♀️
And she keeps saying MAKE IT MAKE SENSE, so please dooooo hahah
Thank you for addressing the McDonald's lawsuit, it makes me mad when people misuse it.
We need to start a drinking game for every time they say “literally”
Or "make it make sense"
I think I've heard, "make it make sense" so many times my ears are bleeding.
I'm glad you addressed that coffee lawsuit. It was a VERY legitamate concern and hazard.
10:00 do they not realize that many people are NOT getting their nails, hair, and lashes done. A lot of people can’t afford their rent, bills, and groceries… 🤯🙄😕
I haven't heard " 'No' is a complete sentence" before. I'll have to remember that one.
Seven streams of income does not mean starting multiple businesses. I assume it means passive streams like stocks and bonds, not half assing three different businesses. I work 40-50 hours a week and do not have the time to run a business correctly on top of that. Working more than like 55 hours a week significantly increases your chance of having heart failure ptsd in life. I’m not risking my dang heart for a pyramid scheme that sells shitty shampoo
Where I spend my money is no one’s business. Also, Cooper is so adorable.
Listened to this as a podcast on my free period at school and I'm glad i did it in chunks because I got to calm down in between!
Good idea! It definitely get more intense as the video goes on!
When they mentioned that McDonald's coffee lawsuit, I was flabbergasted! They left so much out! It was an elderly lady that got awful burns on her thighs and privates. And originally, all she wanted was for the medical expenses to be covered. When McDonald's baulked, that's when her family and lawyers said that they would sue for a lot more. This woman was scarred for the rest of her life. So they uncaring women intentionally left that out
If i was considering joining Monet and was watching their live to make up my mind, i would have run so quick from that 'opportunity', and definately never stayed to the end anyway. Its like 'heres all the bad stuff about joining us, now please join us!'
I love the longer videos! I really like how thorough you are and how calmly and logically debunk their lies. One of my new favorite channels!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
You’re the sweetest most genuine soul. I watch a lot of anti MLM content but you’re my favorite! I hope you keep doing it. You’re always so nice and you’re so eloquent. You make different points than others who do this, so there is certainly plenty of space for you in the anti MLM world! I hope you continue to grow your channel! You deserve it!
Huns be like: "Why would I want someone on my team who's good at selling products? 👏 MaKe 👏 iT 👏 MaKe 👏 sEnSe"
Ugh I hate it when someone is good at the job they're supposedly doing lol
Thank you for talking about the McDonald's lawsuit. I went into the comments while watching to explain the details of the case, then you went into it! It's ridiculous that people use that as a frivolous case when in reality, the woman was scalded by coffee hot enough to create 3rd-degree burns.
"'No.' is a complete sentence" is one of the most powerful statements I've heard in a while and I need it on a tshirt asap
It's a pretty common saying, I'm sure those shirts/sweatshirts are out there
I couldn't get through this. These Monat boss babes are so unintelligent and vain. They can't get over their giant egos.
My God Hannah is my favorite anti MLMer. She states everything so perfectly. Like, I wish I was this eloquent when debating MLMs with people. Bravo
THANK YOU HANNAH for bringing up the rank names .. OH HUNNY YOU WILL NEVER BE THE CEO OF MONAT. They have one. Do you actually think he’s going to hand the company over yo you? Umm 🤔 NO !!!
All of your videos are so good for me. I’ve been in a cult and didn’t realize it. It’s affected my self esteem and relationships with my husband and my family. 🤦🏻♀️ thank you for doing what you do!
It’s just after 6am here is West Australia and this is the best way to start the day , especially with a Cooper cameo involved😻
Yay I love that! Thanks for watching!
I used to feel like I couldn't be myself at my corporate jobs. Then I became a teacher and feel 100% authentic all day (authentic, in my case, meaning enthusiastic and goofy).
“Extra money is better than no money at all.” Wow… she really thinks she did something there
Talking to potential recruits with a condescending mean girl tone and expecting them to want to join your pyramid scheme… “make it make sense.”
_"I hope you guys got a lot of gems."_
Oh, we did.
Thank you for clearing up the McDonald's lawsuit for the viewers. I was SCREAMING inside when she was using this incorrect example.
I laugh at the irony of promoting a hair care “business” and wearing a bucket hat during her whole pitch😂
Ive found, as ive gotten deeper into the anti-MLM rabbit hole, that monat reps wear an awful lot of hats!!! Its actually weird that if a hun is wearing a hat, shes likely with the "hair care company" 😂🙄🤭
Thank you! I was thinking this, too. If you like hats, rock a hat, but it seems odd to wear a hat in your own home, especially on a Zoom call. It makes me wonder if she’s hiding something. Maybe it’s a bad hair day or maybe her MLM shampoo made her hair fall out, too.
@@erikaelyse8192Because they’re trying to hide that the products they’re selling are making their hair thin? No offense to anyone who has hair loss. No one should be made fun of for that, but if you’re selling hair products that allegedly makes people’s hair fall out, and all the reps wear hats, what am I supposed to think?
She really said “these companies have been around for centuries…50 years, 100 years, 30 years..”
only one of those things is a century 🤣😭
Whoo hoo!! An hour long video, I'm so excited to watch! Thanks Hannah :)
How privileged do you have to be to say phrases such as “it’s only a couple hundred dollars or very few people don’t have the money or I see you spending $200 on nails, hair and lashes?” Actually honey, some of us DON’T have the money.
Considering we are still in the middle of a pandemic where the economy is still suffering. Some of us never get our hair, nails and lashes routinely done. I’ve had my nails done ONCE this year and I’ve NEVER had false lashes.
These people are an absolute joke honestly. They have clearly never struggled to pay bills, feed themselves, cloth themselves and make a living. It makes me so upset that MLM’s will never truely go away because the world is far too corrupt for something like that to happen.
These people will always be disgusting, privileged, condescending and patronising people because it’s ingrained into their souls. They were born rubbish and they will stay rubbish forever. No matter what happens these people will spend their dying breaths ruining the lives of other people and there’s far too many of them out there.
Ohhh, I hear you so loud. It’s like when women’s magazines have articles about “clothes on a tight budget!” and the article is full of $75 skirts or $98 tops. If I could afford to pay $180 (with tax) for one skirt and one shirt, I wouldn’t be looking at “fashion on a budget,” articles.
And yeah, I don’t get manicures or pedicures. I wax my own legs, cut and dye my own hair and my daughters’s hair…I can’t afford $50 for one scarf or $35 for one candle (and the article always shows like two dozen of those candles all around the room). It astonishes me that these women have so little concept of a life unlike theirs.
This is VERY good point! My financial situation got better recently, so I was thinking about putting some money towards stricte beauty and I'm a bit shocked, how expensive it is to have your nails, lashes and hair done monthly...
I actually started suspecting that some woman who love it, but aren't making much money can have financial problems only due to that, because it is expensive and you need to have really solid income to don't feel it in your budget... And even with solid income, there are still so many more important things, on which you can spend this money instead... You can go on a vacation if you just do your hair and nails by yourself in home instead of paying professional to do it for you! That's crazy for me.
Yeah! I have never gotten my nails or any kind of makeup done professionally, and as I had my hair cut short about 3 years ago and have been growing it out, I haven’t spent money on hair besides shampoo and conditioner since late May of 2019. I do like nail polish but I do it myself, and I generally don’t even wear makeup, maybe to weddings lol! I run a legitimate small business teaching music but a primerica hun very temporarily (less than a month) recruited me back in 2012 when I was just 21 and starting my business. Looking back, I was so gullible but I didn’t even know what a pyramid scheme was! Let alone MLM. Primerica made me so disillusioned with the world that I was crying every day worrying about the future. A good friend told me that if something was feeling that wrong, it was that wrong, and I got out after about 3.5 weeks. I for sure won’t be buying from anything that has a ‘party’ etc, I don’t have the money! And I don’t want to support MLMs.
I love your facial expressions. I could watch you for an hour or more. At my age they sound very condescending and there is no way I would let them talk to me in this manner.
I admire you for being able to listen to these voices for hours and still remain constructive. I can´t even hear what they are saying just because all my brain capacity is used to focus not to throw up being triggered by their aggressive pitch. You have my respect and not only for this!
I've literally never heard anyone be excited while saying they get to work wherever they want, including on vacation. Like, girl what?! No, you don't "get to work" you HAVE to work because you're in an mlm. They try and make it seem like you can make your own hours while everyone's on calls in the middle of the night, in their bed or on vacation, apparently. But then if you're not working during those times, you're not making money and they'll shame you for not grinding hard enough. It's actually insane.
You have such a knack for summarizing all the arguments against this business model, deconstructing the manipulation used to recruit and retain a down line, and just generally cutting through the haze of the rambling, illogical pep talks to remind us of the real issues at hand. I’m so glad you have a passion for this! 🎉❤️
Aww thank you for such a kind comment! It’s been really fun to make these videos 🥰
@@HannahAlonzo Your take on things is much appreciated!
