Now we're doing Amway's job for them. I don't give a shit what the legal definition is.
MLM is equivalent to a pyramid scheme in a practical sense. What the lawyers are paid to say is none of my concern.
- pc86 10y agoYou can have any opinion you want if your response to challenging thought is to just say "well I don't care what the facts are, damn it" Edit: I have neither the skills nor desire to be successful in MLM, but to imply that all MLM is a pyramid scheme is idiotic. I don't see nearly the vitriol for Pampered Chef that I do for Amway, maybe because Pampered Chef isn't a $9.5 billion global enterprise? Because the majority of people have either done Amway, know someone who used to, or have been asked to, and they resent hearing about it over and over? I talked to probably ~300 people in the short time I was involved in it and I only remember 2 who had never heard of Amway before.
- oxide 10y agoThis isn't a court of law, you can drop the song and dance. MLM logic breaks down at a first glance. You can't sign up 7 people who sign up 7 people very long before you've signed the entirety of mankind, living and dead. If you've bought into MLM, as I suspect you might have, get out now. That money might as well have been set aflame. Skills to be successful at MLM? What skills are those? Sociopathy?
- pc86 10y agoI commented enough elsewhere in this thread that my experience with MLM generally and my distaste for Amway specifically should be pretty clear.
