One of the most nefarious / evil things MLMs do is constantly manipulate you into thinking your big break is ALWAYS just around the corner. This keeps you in a perpetual cycle of hell with them.
This part is underrated imo. We all know that the vast majority of people in MLMs don’t even make money. What’s so evil is that the leadership of these MLMs always preach that you’re just one month or year away from making big $ knowing damn well you won’t. They constantly push books like the Secret or vision boards to make it seem like you’re almost there. There are books dedicated to this BS.
This puts you in a cycle of hell:
Poor person falls for MLM —> upline convinces them they’ll be rich —> person goes a year without making money —> upline tells you you’re on the verge of making millions and recommends some bogus book / podcast —> repeat being poor

What is the least unethical way to get rid of old Paparazzi jewelry that has not been tested for dangerous metals?
Update 1: I'm going to see if I can find proof that pieces from 2017-18 are dangerous, and if I can find that proof I'm sure my mom will agree to dispose of it properly (assuming hazardous waste disposable is feasible for her; if she can't afford that I'll have to settle for the regular garbage dump). Right now she's under the impression that what we have is not dangerous, or at least no more dangerous than Walmart jewelry that almost definitely contains some amount of lead and/or nickel. I'll update this post again after I have a chance to talk to her about this and present evidence. "I read online" doesn't mean much on its own.
...
My mom and I sold Paparazzi from 2017-18, and quit for good when the quality tanked. I did not spend my money on any of this, so I don't get to decide what's done with the storage tub full of unsold jewelry. (I did already warn my mom that we should go through it outside and wear face masks while doing so, because we don't know if these old pieces are dangerous like the newer pieces.)
My mom plans to sell what she can at a yard sale for a heavily discounted price to hopefully make a little money back, and donate whatever doesn't sell to a thrift store; in both cases they would be labeled as Paparazzi (although we can't guarantee the thrift store will keep that label) and hopefully buyers will see that and/or the price and know "this probably contains lead and/or nickle".
Is there a better way to go about getting rid of this stuff?
Please don't think badly of my mom. She knows the situation with the 2020s jewelry, but believes that the old pieces are safe because we left right when the quality dropped, which happened due to a change in manufacture or manufacturing process (we don't remember which) and we both believe that change is when dangerous levels of toxic metals began to slip in. I'm questioning this more before I have an anxiety disorder.

Over $55,000 in six months???
I have an acquaintance. We are Facebook friends and follow each other on Instagram. She has been in several mlms. Currently she is in a travel one, mwr, or something like that? Anyway, she is posting all over that she made over $55.000 in six months. And posting it anyplace she can-tons of groups and social media platforms. I am very suspicious of her claims. Does anyone have experience or know about this company? I’d like to start posting some comments just to get people thinking. I want to be informed first though. She’s recruiting and recruiting a lot.

What MLM is this?
An acquaintance of mine has been posting on insta about an opportunity she just joined. Claims she’s made thousands of dollars in a couple months (and has shown cheques she’s received in the mail) and goes on about how she doesn’t need to cold message family/friends etc. She has mentioned high ticket affiliate marketing, but I’ve never once seen her sell or promote anything? It’s very confusing. She says there is a sign in “cash back” bonus this month of $1,800. But then claims you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket but there’s an “investment”.
I’ve googled “legacy project” and see things about Enagic but again, I’ve never seen her promote any products. What is this??

It’s a guilty pleasure and probably not healthy but I absolutely love it when these huns go to their “yearly retreats” and “kick off conferences”. It’s like watching a reality tv show…that’s real! For free !
It’s just so funny to see cult like behavior at play while they totally lack the awareness to realize they’re in a cult that loses money. It’s almost like watching a Scientology documentary.
What gets me the most is they all act like they’re Jensen at CES revealing how they’re going to change the world haha. Some other things:
First of all they are paying to go to their own work conference, while everyone else in the world has their own company to pay for it.
Secondly it’s all just one big cult propaganda display similar to mega churches or trump rallies.
Thirdly, like half of them go into debt to do it 😂
Lastly they always come back saying they’re a new person ready to take on the world to become a millionaire. Only to literally lose money to brainwashing, go in debt, and then once again be convinced to go again next year in order to change their mindset 😅
It’s like watching a cult documentary in real time.

Suspect MLM
So we have a family friend who is actually a solicitor however they are clueless about MLM. Her son has kinda drifted since leaving school. He was selling door to door for a bit.
When I saw her last week she said he is now "running his own online business " and he sells advertising on websites. She was very vague about what he does but to me this screams enagic. The language, the targeting a bloke who is a bit lost and not worldly.

Realistically, what comes AFTER an MLM? (Re: Young Living...)
So as we all know Hannah Alonzo's whistleblowing video about Young Living has shook the MLM world the past few days.
But imagine this, you're at the very top making $100k, $500k, maybe even $1m every year, and then all of a sudden your income is gone.
Seriously, what are these people going to do? Getting a corporate job takes at least a few months, and mortgages, car payments, and needing to eat exist!
Did anybody on here suffer a big hit after Modere or Beach Body removing MLM/network marketing? I'm curious what you did after to help keep providing income for you and your family!!

Update: GF (in Amway/WWDB for 4 years) finally quits the “business” after ultimatum – but begs to keep attending weekly meetings with her “friends”. Did I make the right call?
Link to initial post: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiMLM/comments/1ppo3fc/just\_found\_out\_my\_gf\_is\_in\_an\_amway\_subgroup/
Over the past few weeks (including a holiday where I met her parents), I’ve been talking to my girlfriend about her involvement in Amway through World Wide Dreambuilders (WWDB). She’s been in it for 4 years now, and currently has two people in her downline.
How I first brought it up
The first time I raised concerns, she genuinely didn’t understand what I was talking about – it was like talking to a zombie. We crunched her numbers for one month: after all expenses (products, events, etc.), her “income” was pathetic – barely anything.
I was super stressed bringing it up, and at one point she was close to tears. Then, like flipping a switch, her whole demeanor changed – suddenly super positive and happy that I worry so much about her well being. It was honestly alienating and creepy.
What I’ve shown her since
I’ve brought it up a few more times, showed her anti-MLM videos, and we calculated her full year’s profit. Surprise: after deducting all the products she bought for personal use, she actually lost the equivalent of a full month’s salary from her normal job on this “side business”.
Recent “success” that complicated things
Last month, for the first time, she made some decent money after expenses – not life-changing, but good for direct sales. This made it harder to convince her.
The ultimatum and where we are now
Yesterday, I finally gave her an ultimatum: me or Amway.
After a lot of back-and-forth (including her talking directly to her upline about quitting), we compromised:
• She quits the business/sales side completely.
• But she doesn’t want to lose the “community” – a big chunk of her closest friends are in WWDB.
She begged to keep going to the weekly meetings. We settled on:
• She can attend once a week.
• In three months, she has to choose: me or the group.
She’s starting to intellectually understand that making serious money in Amway isn’t realistic, but she’s emotionally deeply tied to this group. It’s like a cult – hard (maybe impossible) to fully untangle.
My doubt
I’m not sure if compromising was the right move. None of the “concession” ideas (like limited meetings) came from me – they were her proposals. Part of me worries the meetings will just pull her back in.

Thrive by Level
I'm currently having a disagreement with someone who is saying you can't buy your rank with Level as a promoter, it has to be outside sales. We are actually discussing the Watts case. It was obvious Shan'ann Watts was putting her own money into this MLM and as a result the families finances were in a terrible state but this person will not have it that it's even an option. Am I completely wrong? Not victim blaming Shan'ann by the way, sadly she bought into the MLM bs and just couldn't see her way out of it.
