Get Paid Today - MLM is Dead

SorrY asked:


How is “If you get four more people to join this pyramid scheme you get this free” type of Amway thing wrong and baseless in the first place?

a) It is not your job nor should you be expected to “convert” or “procure” other people. You cannot interfere in another peoples affairs unless you have provided them a non-repudiable benefit to them that they would not have got, had it not been for you.

b) You should only be expected to do something that you are capable of, and that can be done by you independently without needing anyone else. If you are to do something then there must have already have been a benefit transferred to you in cash or kind that you would not have got otherwise.

Since MLM and chain letter concepts violate these two basic economic principles. They should be banned. So Amway must be banned.

How many people concur?

Beelzebub asked:


You always hear people in MLM talk about how brilliant the system is because it uses leverage and that you get a little effort from a lot of people and everyone makes money.

Is this not the most idiotic thing you have heard? if everyone is doing only a little effort conceivably not selling enough on their own effort to at least provide an income, then it is physically impossible for everyone to be earning at the same time. The only way it works if is the pyramid continually grows. People in MLM say that the people at the bottom should leverage as well and get the same results as those at the top, but essentially that only means that at no point ever in the MLM model does EVERYONE benefit, there are always people at the bottom getting no value.

Are people in MLM that stupid, or is it that there are enough people with no concept of math that are constantly seeing MLM for the first time?
