I am creating these videos for entertainment and educational purposes. Please do not contact these people on their social media platforms or send them hateful comments/messages, facial blurring is being used to protect identity. Their videos are being used only as an example of the manipulative and predatory nature of multi-level marketing companies and the claims their representatives make. I do not condone online bullying or harassment.

I’m a minister, and I agree with you 110% that a church service doesn’t belong at a “business” convention! That’s faith manipulation and cult-like behavior, pure and simple.

[aureliagold]

As a Christian, mass worship is an incredibly overwhelming sensation emotionally. The human body just rewards you when you're With The Group. Ever been to a concert where the audience is singing together? It's like that, but with added impact because it is attributed to God. This "worship" is clearly calculated emotional and spiritual manipulation to a concerning degree.

UPDATE: At the time of filming I only saw 1 reported COVID case from Monations. At the time of uploading, I have seen 17 reported cases.

My sister has been doing Monat since its inception (years. she has the cadillac), and it has been one of the saddest things in the world to watch her change so much to the point where I just ABHOR all things Monat for its cult-like crap. She has done all the MLMs (she was on Rodan+Fields before Monat) - but there's something about this one that has absolutely brainwashed her in to a different person. She used to be progressive and all about science, and now she's anti-vax, thinks her essential oils and crystals and diet are going to keep her strong, and she refuses to wear a mask anywhere. A lot of the Monat girls are exactly the same way, as evidenced here in this video. Maybe they think their shampoo will cure them of all diseases. I joke, but it's really REALLY sad to watch, especially when it's someone you love. :(
(so glad I found your content)

That damage repair before & after was a hoot! I thought the same about the before pic: shouldn't her hair look like silk instead of straw. The after pic looks like she just used a flat iron with a leave-in conditioner.

I'll stick with the stuff I get at Walmart.

I thought about being one of the first people in Monat Australia, but then I realised I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life being a straight up a$$hole. 😂

[velvetnightmare]

The girl who says she wants to do it for the rest of her life - this doesn't even make sense because in 5 years time wouldn't you want to be moving up the ladder and starting to do project managing or some kind of other thing in the company? Literally all you can do is just sell a bunch of shampoo there's nowhere to go with it.

I will say, I watch a heck of a lot of anti-mlm content from lots of creators….I really love the way you break things down in a way I’d never think of myself. So good!! So glad to have stumbled across your content!

If it’s anything like how they “launched” in Spain (and probably Lithuania), they will have a pre launch before the launch. Meaning, the people who join will be “founders” and anyone who joins after, will be their down line. The kicker is, the products don’t launch at the same time. In Spain, one rep RANKED UP without SELLING ANY PRODUCT. She ranked up by RECRUITING!!! It’s all in her highlights and the audacity to say that she’s a business owner and did it through self determination is ludicrous

I went to a concert last week; vaccine cards were checked before entering the venue and we had to have a mask. During the show, a number of people around me did not have their mask on. I kept mine on the whole time. I wasn't entirely comfortable, but I did see some people being turned away that had unofficial looking cards or no mask, so.

[rhiannonramos]

Do the folks in MLMs that are constantly saying “I’m not making a CEO richer…” do they realize there are thousands of other “corporate” jobs??? For instance, as a public servant, which I am, my work is making/keeping people safe. That is fulfilling. It makes me feel very good knowing I do my part everyday to make the community I serve safer. And I’m not making a CEO richer. Makes no sense why they make it seem like retail or anything for that matter that has a CEO, is the only kind of career choice available outside of MLMs.

[ValerieP-yf]

Sunk cost fallacy! Than you. I work in mental health and see this happen with clients too often. They will have a relationship that is harmful to them but be reluctant to set boundaries or cut ties because they're hoping to get back the money they loaned the person or some other sunk cost. We discuss it, but now I have a fancy term to call it :)

[victoriamangrum]

Thank you for being kind about spirituality and faith. <3 that means a lot.
As a Christian, I do not believe that using faith or God for their MLM is right. Having a service at a "work" conference is SO inappropriate.

As a licensed cosmetologist and someone who has had training about Olaplex from both my school and my salon…. This enraged me 💀

[highlander]

I'm glad you brought up the religious aspect. I am a Christian, and it really does bother me when some of these MLM's use faith as a manipulation tool to recruit, or keep people involved in a business that is set up for over 99% of people to lose money, or struggle. I live my faith, and my friends know it, and I've had MLM 'boss babes' slide into my PM's telling me how God brought them to me, or they felt God was 'speaking to them' or they felt it their Christian duty to contact me as a sister of faith. It saddens me because when someone fails, they may question their faith if they're not trying hard enough or maybe they didn't 'trust in God' enough to be successful. I tell these 'Boss Babes of Faith' that if God truly was speaking to them of my desires, the Leafs would have won the Stanley cup years ago...lol Great videos, and thank you for your respect towards the issue of faith :)

This might ramble. Sorry in advance.

I used to be in Amway. And I wasn't a big fan of recruiting, personally, so I really tried selling the products. There's a few products that I honestly still wish I could get my hands on. And my goal was just to make pocket change every month. I didn't want to get rich, I just wanted to earn enough money to see a movie or buy a tank of gas off my "extra" income. And my upline was okay with that for the first few months. I didn't have a ton of fees (beyond buying products that I just enjoyed). But then he invited me to some massive amway meeting, and I am highly uncomfortable in church settings -which is exactly what this was. I never saw how what I was doing was unethical or immoral, and people online would flip out at me for suggesting they buy "my" products which would just make me defensive. I wasn't brainwashing anyone, I wasn't participating in a pyramid scheme. But I've been watching your videos for a few days now, and everything youre saying is accurate. My amway upline was subtly changing what he was telling me to manipulate me into feeling bad for not making more money. I was achieving exactly what I wanted - I was selling a couple products a month, buying things I liked, and had spending money that I didn't have previously. Why do I need to recruit anyone? So I "quit" (I just ghosted amway idk how to actually quit). And now I can see why people were upset at me - I was exactly moderate enough to entice people in to meet the dangerous people.

I appreciate your measured approach and respectful way of speaking about people in mlms.

[jonathandesadeleer]

Long time watcher first time poster lol. You are wise beyond your years girl. But the only statement I have a different opinion on is about 'I'f the product work so well why would you have damage'. Well, I've used l'oreal Pro for years and I get damage because I use alot of hairspray every day to style my thin hair ☺ so there can be damage done with no fault to the product but due to other styling techniques. I've heard you mention a few times you don't know much about ingredients in hair and skin care. I was the same in my youth, there is a book called beauty bible by now retired Paula Bergoin, have a read if you can find an old copy or check her website, gives alot of science backed and dermalogical backed information. Keep up the great work, keep exposing these scams. Very well done video ☺

[amykuhel]

I actually just had Youtube suggest one of your MLM videos this weekend and I did in fact binge them. 🙂

[raychul]

Spot on with the points you’ve made about the before & after images! I was thinking the same thing.
