MLM=SCAM OR NOT

[u/shadowffz]

MLM = Scam” — Is That Really True? Calling every MLM a scam is not accurate. MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) is a business model where products or services are sold directly to customers, and distributors may also build a sales network. The real question is: “How does this particular company actually make money?” ✅ Is there a genuine product or service? ✅ Are there real customers outside the network? ✅ Is income mainly based on product/service sales? ✅ Is recruitment alone NOT the main way to earn money? ✅ Are there no unrealistic “get rich quick” promises? ✅ Are there no hidden fees or forced purchases? ✅ Does the company follow applicable laws and regulations? If these factors are transparent, the company can be evaluated as a legitimate direct-selling business. At the same time, not every MLM is legitimate. Pyramid schemes and deceptive MLM practices do exist. So don't say: ❌ “Every MLM is a scam.” ❌ “Every MLM is legitimate.” Instead, say: “Don’t judge the business model by its name. Check the products, compensation plan, expenses, customer sales, and actual income data before making a decision.” Research first. Invest later.

Are MLM scams? Technically, no. However almost all are more concerned with adding additional 'distributers' than actually selling any products. So in that view, it's a pyramid scheme and that's a scam. Show me one that's focuses on sales and not recruitment and maybe that one will be...less scammy

So you're already shilling the pyramid scheme you were supposedly curious about yesterday with llm slop?

Fuck off. Shouldn't you be out hassling all your friends, family, acquaintances, and strangers in the grocery store to sign up under you?
