[quote=Anonymous]Other posters have compared it to MLM and beauty culture, etc., but man, I am reading a book called “hey, hun” by Emily Paulson, who went very high in the ranks and was $1 million earner in what is suspected to be Rodan + fields, but she doesn’t actually name them. But anyway, the book is about her experience over about seven years in the MLM, her rise and fall, and then a pretty good deep dive into the history of MLM’s and why they have been able to grow in popularity, etc.

There really are so many parallels between the manosphere. The need for community is a big pull and what is a podcast if not these groups of men sitting around talking to each other, complaining about injustices, and then getting propped up by listeners and commenters and callers. And then for the people listening to the podcasts, watching men have these discussions and engaging with them online. It’s all about trying to get that sense of community.

Further, they feel just like the women who are attracted to MLM’s - let down by capitalist society and they feel like they are not succeeding so they are trying to take these shortcuts, selling these wealth management courses are getting people into these crypto scams or whatever it is that they’re doing. Selling supplements and fitness programs. BS that people don’t need and won’t help people, but they feel like they can be whatever the equivalent of a boss babe is in MLMs - a High value earner or whatever.

They really are cut from the same cloth. [/quote]
