Uploaded once again because I keep having problems with KZfaq 😢 small creator struggles! Anyways, thank you everyone for tuning in hope you are safe and well! What do you think is the weirdest company in this video today?

You’re wrong. MLM stands for ‘Moms Losing Money’ like stop spreading misinformation???

Men Loving Men: good MLM Multi-Level Marketing: evil MLM

I’d rather be a “nobody” tombstone than a crazy person yelling at a “nobody” tombstone

The clips of you dancing to the MLM ads were so funny and weirdly wholesome thank you for adding them in

13:27- Whelp, I'm convinced. Nothing says 'legit!' like a middle-aged business man on an arena stage screaming "you can be a hero!" at a Styrofoam tombstone.

Im a gay guy n in certain circles we joke about the whole mlm=men loving men mlm=multi level marketing thing so honestly its surprising to me that some lgbt people dont know

They treat the founders like they're gods. Its crazy that they don't see the founder is getting rich off of you basically getting poorer!

Everytime I have a 3am "remember that stupid thing you did 11 years ago" moment I'm gonna remember that dude with too long pants screaming at a Halloween tombstone decoration in front of 50,000 huns and I'm pretty sure I'll sleep soundly 😑

His motivational speech to the tombstone...am I the only one that was like wtf!?

Magnets, ceramic and tourmaline? Sounds like manufacture waste from a hair straightening company.

There’s a Market America thing in my town, but we just call it “Costco.”

the mlm vs mlm thing lmaoo, "mom, dad, i sell herbalife"

I'd love to see you do a deep dive into Origami Owl. They were started by a kis but then turned into an MLM actually TARGETING kids claiming they could start their own "business". I just think it's one of the worst.

Every time you say "in conclusion" you sound just like Cher in the movie Clueless when she debates Amber in class.

When you think you've seen everything a hunbot goes "hold my protein detox shake"

If magnets were powerful healing devices they would not be sold as fridge decorations at the dollar tree 😂

I had no idea #antimlm was a club I NEEDED to be a member of, but I am here for it! Great video

Hey Madison, I've been super depressed staying inside during this whole covid thing and honestly the YT community is so childish and toxic for the most part but you're so refreshingly real and it warms this Canadian gal's heart! 💓 Keep doing what you're doing for as long as you love doing it, girl.

God it's so good so see someone mention NuSkin I had a girl in my boyfriend's uni class try to poach me THREE separate times, once through him by trying to emotionally manipulate the fact we were about to be in a long distance relationship by being like "don't you want her to have enough money to come and visit you whenever she wants" and also implied he "wasn't letting me reach my full potential" by not passing the message along to me, it's absolutely wild

Can you make a video talking about how Tyra Banks made her cosmetic line called Tyra Beauty and it was a MML however it went out of business. It also sold on HSN but not they dont sell it anymore

I’m laying here covered head to toe in magnets and nothing is happening.. When does the healing start?!?!?

ok, so I'm so happy you spoke about nikken. My husband and I almost got sucked into this mlm but we dodged a bullet. How it came into my life was so random but now looking back it was all part of the plan. his plan. I was serving/bartending about 5 years ago and an older "gentleman" was sitting in my section during brunch. he was a pot of coffee kinda guy, nothing else. I'd never seen him before and of course after being there awhile he started to make small talk. he seemed innocent, nice, funny..etc. It was that time of the month for me and a couple of my coworkers...which usually always happens in work environments and he knew this. he "overheard" my coworkers and I complaining/talking about our cramps. very soon after I went back to refill his coffee and he handing me this circular flat magnet with a green rubber ring surrounding the outer edge. I immediately said "what is this?" He said "just put it on your stomach and come thank me when your cramps go away." I didn't know what to think. I was confused but very interested. So I did just that. within a few minutes my cramps were gone, like magic. I immediatly told my coworkers (that's exactly what he wanted) so of course I rushed back to the table and asked him what the hell it was. he had me right where he wanted me, he knew exactly what he was doing! he started talking to me about nikken but not too much (crumbs). he also had the other girls try it..same thing! he asked if we could meet for coffee (of course) and I agreed as long as I could bring my husband (then boyfriend) and of course he thought that that was a great idea. we agreed to join but what was weird but also a blessing was that he paid for us to join. which is a big reason why I think he did so well. what did we have to loose? less than a week later there was a small 2 day convention located about 20 mins away from Seattle which was about 1hr drive from where we lived. he paid for our room..so of course we went. this company makes crazy claims but because the magnet worked so well we believed. about 2-3 weeks after the convention a (expensive) mattress showed up at our doorstep in a nikken box with our address but we didn't buy it. we later found out that he ended up purchasing it under our account so we could stay active. we defiantly didnt take the whole get people to join seriously ..especially the way he wanted us to. that's why we didn't loose money but let me just tell you... both my husband and I haven't experienced sleep like that since he showed up at the house (almost 2 months later) and demanded the mattress back (we should've never given it back he knowingly bought it "for us") but we did. once again, the best sleep of my life and I still use the magnet til this day. those 2 products work/worked amazing, I'm not gonna lie! but now that I look back and knowing what I know now. its 100% an mlm. he prayed/prays on people at their jobs. he knew what to do, where to go. he knew what to say, he knew what not to say and the list goes on. I'm so grateful we didn't "allow" hi to brainwash us because It was very that.. including the convention. the whole situation was weird, the company is weird and to look back at everything its so creepy to put all the red flags together and think about every detail. sorry for the long comment but I just wanted to tell you and everyone else reading this to be careful. mlm's are extremely predatory and they ruin peoples lives.

My ex was a huge MLM advocate (well, still is lol) and I had to go with him to those awful business parties. I met one of his acquaintances at a meeting once and a couple years later that dude decided to create his own MLM because he was earning peanuts with the other companies! So of course my ex and his MLM friends joined this new scheme and, well, I don't know what happened after that because we split lol it's called Nuxgen btw, I don't think it has reached the States yet but oh boy, what a freaking mess. He acted like a cult leader and I'm sure it has just gotten worse.

I was once recruited by Nuskin. I actually attended their "trainings" for about 6 months until I realized that it was not worth my time and money. Boy, their products (which I had to buy for membership) were expensive and the "trainors" always said that these were backed up by science and R&D. I was wondering all the while I was with Nuskin why they were "silent" about their presence. When someone recruited me and I asked about the company, that person didn't or couldn't tell me what it was. That issue with FTC you mentioned actually made sense of why they always tried to be under the radar.

For the longest time, I thought you were saying "Emma Lim companies" and I was like, what the heck is Emma Lim?! Then I finally got it that you are saying "MLM." Gotta love accents! LOL

Okay, alright, what's your favorite hobby? Professional and amateur athletes: "uhh... magnets"

Ironically a “talk guru”/MLM type woman was the AD for this video. I’m *so* happy that these scams are coming into the light so heavily. All ads are scams I’m learning lol

Totally agree. Anytime I ever use “clean beauty” with weird oils and all it makes my skin awful. I just avoid ingredients that I know are bad.. plenty of amazing things out there that don’t claim to be ~ clean beauty

That dude screaming at the tombstone lolol #goals

I have a friend that has literally tried all MLMs... she even did a scrapbooking one. I think it’s called Creative Memories. Not sure if they even still exist. I have a shitload of scrapbooking stuff I got from her. Wanted to support her.

Why are they laughing at this guy speaking to a tombstone he's clearly having a seizure💀

I am so happy that you brought up market america/shop .com. my mom was sucked in over a year ago and and since dropped out due to health issues. But her "friends" were still pushing her to spend more money and spend all her time at their meetings. They say it is a straight line and there is no branching, even though their own material clearly shows a pyramid structure. I could go on forever.

Last time I looked at your subscribers was when I subscribed myself and you only had about 100. I'm so happy for you, Madison! Congratulations on almost reaching 10,0000! I KNEW your channel would be successful! Yay!

Omg someone finally covered! My dad got really into this like 17 years ago. He even bought a nikken mattress. It was wild. They even had nikken shoes

I remember magnet therapy was a big thing in the mid2000s, and there were tons of magnet therapy bracelets everywhere and everyone was wearing them. But the trend died as quickly as it rose because news stations started looking into it, and discovered that it was all a placebo effect, and manipulative advertising.

I was watching this while my bf was playing video games and he turned go me, dead in the face, and said "I used to work for Amway" and thrust his card at me... apparently I had saved it without paying attention when unpacking and put it on his desk. He had 30 "wings" (aka 30 people under him) and got 50-1000 every few months for doing nothing... he stopped doing it because sometimes the return wasn't worth it and because he felt bad. 😳

Wait... Beauty Counter is an MLM?! I've been getting their ads on Spotify 🤦🏽‍♀️ And that's why I didn't even think of them as an MLM. Wow, they're getting sneakier.

Personally, I would really enjoy a “deep dive” series on your channel at some point, where you get into the weeds of some of these companies. Anyone else?💁🏼‍♀️

I'm SO glad I stumbled upon this particular video, thanks. I've had two "friends" message me on FB asking me to buy from them for BeautyCounter, and it seemed like a shady MLM to me but I couldn't suss it out.

I like how a lot of these mlms we're started by distributors from other mlms. Doterra from young living, market America from Amway. Just a observation.

if you havent come across it yet, 'the dream' is a really great podcast. the first season is about mlms, while the second season is about the wellness industry. it covers why the ftc hasnt gone after most mlms for being pyramid schemes. love your videos, i find them really calming!

I just love your videos. All the work and research you put into them! First time I watched your videos I was so shocked that you didnt have ten times the followers you currently have. I hope one day more people will find your channel, you deserve it!

The MLM comment cracked me up -- for some reason I'd only seen WLW used in the community before, and I always figured it was because of this kind of confusion, lol!

Hi, I just recently found your channel and I'm loving it. I hate MLMs. My niece is actually really high up in Monat and make a TON of money and had tried to get my to join so many times. Her sister is huge in Hempworx also. It is such a tiny amount of people that make any money. I just hate them. I wanted to ask if youd watched On Becoming a God in Central Florida with Kirsten Dunst? If not, you've got to watch. It reminds me SO much of that 1 MLM America something, that sells everything. Super interesting. Hope you're staying safe and healthy! Xo

At first I heard "Today we are gonna be disgusting..." And I mean... misheard, but still kinda fitting, if we clarify that all MLMs are disgusting ;)

I love that because I've been watching these anti MLM videos... youtube is now showing me MLM ads.. 🤦‍♀️😂

In fact in Malaysia, Amway is the worst company in our country! Because when you meet your old friends or kind people, it's just because they want to create good job performance! Believe me, they are annoying and always messing around with you. Is just like a cult.

I think there's a BBC Ellie undercover documentary that goes into Nuskin in some depth if anyone is interested in finding out more

The explanation of the MLM acronym reminds me of when I found a FTM Facebook page, and was confused that it was a bunch of moms, not trans men, before I realised what their acronym was

One mlm that I’ve never heard anyone talk about is pampered chef. My stepmom used to always tell us how she sold their products for years and she owned everything of theirs. Well a few months ago I was looking for quality kitchen brands and remembered all the “quality” overpriced stuff my stepmom owns so I checked out their website and saw the consultant page and realized she was in a freakin mlm man... totally makes sense because she’s definitely a hun

NuSkin was pretty popular in Sweden some years ago. I was asked to join 3 times on Facebook but never replied to the messages 😅 Recently there was an article about NuSkin in a popular Swedish tabloid.

girl, you deserve way more subscibers! i don't even know how you find this stuff but it's super entertaining to watch.

The irony of get rich quick scheme ads being on your video 🤔😂

I know this is a pretty old vid, but just discovered you and I'm loving binging your library. Your content is absolute fire. 🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Oh, I thought MLM meant Monday laundering machine 🤣

YEEEES! I'm so happy you covered Market America!

Ironically I got an ad watching this video of this guy trying to recruit people to “be his students” for an “amazing opportunity” selling on amazon. He said almost every mlm cliche in a 2 min ad.

i get so excited when i see that you have new video(s) up! thanks for entertaining me during this lockdown. love you forever queen!!

LOVE how the ad before this video is for a downline accelerator playbook. - a guide for MLMs for recruitment . Wow 🤣😂🤣😂

i used to work for an alternative medicine clinic that offered Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. This, unlike magnetic bracelets, isn't crap therapy. I've been a recipient of it myself on my bad knees. It's not magic ofcourse. The way it works, is by sending strong (and i mean very strong) magnetic pulses through your body at a specific spot, such as the knee or or a shoulder, to stimulate movement and range of motion. This type of therapy helps alleviate stiffness and pain for issues like frozen shoulder or arthritic knees that can't bend properly. It's a therapy that often gets used on racing horses who have been injured, so they can regain their proper function of their legs.

Haha My uncle actually got to the top of nikken and made millions.. I don't think it's doing well anymore though! But he still tries to sell us crap like their $200 water purifier. My cousin lost a ton of money with nikken trying to be like my uncle

"Rearranging Earth's magnetic pull, for you to have the best walk ever", lol..... I love rewatching your videos because I always find something new and light hearted to laugh at with you :)

your videos really are getting me through this quarantine, thank you for uploading more!

I'm a hobby seamstress. I can totally see magnet bracelets being a thing. You'd never drop pins and needles anymore! It's genius really ;)

You better drop that skincare routine sis because you're GLOWING!!! Thanks for the super entertaining content! Love your videos!

“MLM OOOO PPPPPP!!” The way you say MLM a bit fast reminded me of kids and the alphabet song! Adorable. New sub! ♥️

I would love to see a vid on Shaklee, it’s been around forever!! I got tricked into going to a presentation that was disguised as a fun get together at a friends house. I ended up buying some kind of cleaning kit which I actually loved but I’ve never bought it again because I don’t want to support mlms. I also have tried beauty counter products and they are actually really nice but way too expensive, and, again, I don’t understand why they can’t just be a normal company because I would keep buying if they were just a store and I like what they are trying to do with changing our outdated beauty product regulations.

There are some uses for magnets in medicine- the one I’m most familiar with is trans-cranial magnetic stimulation, which is an alternative to electroshock therapy for severe cases of mental illnesses, and MRIs work with magnetic fields. However both of these practices use incredibly strong magnets in very specific ways, which in my opinion further takes away credibility from the alternative medicine use of weak magnets.

You seriously look like Hillary Duff and Kennedy Walsh at the same time and I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR BEAUTY!!!!!

weirdly didn't see this in my feed until now, would love to see a part 2 tho! thanks for the cool content

u and münecat are the best and most informative creators yet should be way bigger! love you guys!

Would love to see one on Senegence, most commonly known for lipsense 😊

DAMN GIRL !!! Your skin is glowing and beauuuuuuiuuuuuuutiful . I know this is totally unrelated to MLM/anti-MLM ... but what do we have to do to get a skincare routine !?!?! 😬😏❤️ Side note: really, really great video !! awesome topic and execution ! 💯

Hi Madison!!! I recently found your channel and I have binged all you videos! Your videos are so well put together and I love your energy. 💕💕

The clip of you dancing made my day better, thank you for making days better and exposing these sketchy ass brands and companies.😆👏

Nikken, as in "nicking your hard earned cash"..?

Can you look into Monat hair? One of my friends recently started selling for them, and it's hard to watch her desperately trying to sell on Instagram with no success.

You're my go-to source of all things MLM! Keep up the good work!

you're so funny 😭i literally had to sub when i saw the dancing montages 😂💛 "... not a cult though..." would be son cute on a tshirt tbh

Not widely known but my mom used to hoard/peddle Julep Nailpolish and other beauty products from Julep.

i'd love to see another video on lesser known mlm's! i had a friend invite me to a virtual "wine tasting" and it turned out to be another mlm my friend was doing. the company is called wine at home and it would be interesting for you to talk about them

Oh that makes so much sense about Nu Skin. A friend was advertising her friend's MLM products on Facebook but the name wasn't included in the post. I commented, asking what the company was and the girl said "I'll dm you!" She messaged me saying that it was Nu Skin and that they "don’t advertise the names of their products openly to protect consumers from purchasing counterfeits from third party sellers such as amazon, eBay, etc!" 🙄 Makes more sense now knowing that the real reason is they have to be careful about how they advertise. Thanks for explaining more about them

That Market America video was nuts! Oh yes a part two would be great 😁

When I was helping my dad’s friend move, we packed literal boxes of NuSkin that she had in lots of drawers and cabinets. I hated MLMs before but to see how much “inventory” she had still and how much wasted money... and she was only a rep for a short while... freaking nuts. So sad. I kid you not, at least 4 large boxes filled with products: skincare, shampoos, toothpaste, makeup.

I love these videos. Helps me learn more about how many different companies are like this. One I don’t hear many people talk about it Color Street. They are an mlm who sells nail strips but have a horrible business layout.

Just found your channel on my current journey to find anti-mlm content and info to help a friend of mine “escape the trap” 😅 you’re gorgeous and remind me of Jkissa. I’m now a new subbie 😇 keep it up girly 💖

Make a part 2 please! I'm obsessed with your videos

There's actually an ongoing study from harvard, I believe, that is looking at high powered magnets for depression. They are targeted and strong magnets, not something you wear as a bracelet. It makes sense that magnets would be impactful in some way, but they would have to be used in a pointed, specific way.

Also i would be interested if you would ever look into partylite i didnt realize it when i was a kid but my mom used to sell that stuff because she was disabled and couldnt work (apparently it was profitable because she went around the company guidelines n weird stuff like that) but i still barely know anything about it except years later dots connected in my head

The whole reason I'm on your channel is because I've suddenly had a heap of girls from my high school (all of whom are now mums) trying to push me Nu Skin! I'm from the UK and Nu Skin has blown up here. It's super depressing to watch vulnerable people get scammed. Even worse when you see people recruit their 'friends' 😭 Now I'm actually fascinated with MLMs. Gonna watch all your vids!

the part of you dancing during the Ad 😭 i love you

"Crystal healing" *cries in witch who has a collection of crystals because they're pretty and make me feel safe*

Oh I used to have magnetic insoles. Mom bought them for me when I was an emo teenager. They were supposed to reduce emotional distress? idk. I didn't notice a difference, other than them being super stiff.

Thank you for sharing more MLMs! I had no clue about any of these! 💕💕

lol was the dancing for copyright or because the videos/songs are always the same?! i love it either way 😂😂

Maybe a video about Zyia? Selling “good quality” fitness clothes. Haven’t seen many videos/posts about this one.

One of my friends used to sell From Seacret. They sell skincare mostly I believe. She tried to get me to join but wasn’t into the whole thing. I haven’t heard anything about it. I would love to learn more about the company.

I love your sarcasm 👏🏻😅 Wow, almost 10k subs well done! I had some problem with twisted ankle in one of my foot ages ago. Some weird person from my work told me her partner is all about that weird alternative medicine. They gave me some magnet to wear at night on my ankle and this really worked 🙈🤯 I had problem with that ankle for years and after fiew weeks of wearing that magnet at night problem disappeared till today and that was like 10yo. I am so sceptical of all of that insane weird thinks but this one truly worked so maybe there is some benefits from magnets but have no idea how this works lol 🤷‍♀️😅😅

I’m gay and find it HILARIOUS that some in our community thought you were addressing men loving men 😭💀 like what hahahahah
