[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know DCUM hates all MLM.  But my question is - why?  I understand the annoyance of the fake BS, pushy sellers, #momboss nonsense.  But I have to say, some of the products are very good and if the sellers aren’t annoying or pushy, why would you categorically refuse to buy any of it?  Honestly curious.  You have to admit that not all MLM sellers are terrible, right?  I know some who have never even mentioned their products to me, let alone tried to sell me anything.[/quote]

When I graduated college in the early '90's and was struggling to set a path, a rich (so I thought) Harvard-educated relative offered to tell me about a very interesting business opportunity. Well, not tell me then, but at a special presentation his business partner would give. Etc. Nu Skin. I'd neither heard of it, nor of MLM, and I trusted him so I was a sitting duck.

The worst part about it is that it comes between you and your friends and family: the only thing standing between you and success is their refusal to sign up (or even listen to the pitch), so not only do you end up frustrated/angry with them, they feel the same way and avoid you.

Also bad:

- trying to convince people (and yourself) that there's something better/special/different about over-priced run-of-the-mill products.
- the motivational tapes made by people at the top of the pyramid telling you that you suck if you don't sell, and to avoid doubters because they were losers with "stinkin' thinkin'".
