multi level marketing

We all know that MLM salespeople on our social media feeds are annoying as hell, but we also can't help but feel a little bad for them; they are victims of a pyramid scheme after all, and once you get sucked into the scheme it's tough not to drink the Kool-aid. As is such, here's a roundup of some cringey memes and posts about pyramid schemes that we found highly amusing!

If you love yourself a little Karen schadenfreude, then get ready cause we have a whole roundup of MLM (otherwise known as pyramid schemes) memes and cringe posts for you to facepalm over. And guess what, we've got even more here!

On one hand, we do feel kind of bad for the people who get sucked into these pyramid schemes because often times multi-level marketing companies will pray on unemployed single moms or others in vulnerable situations. But on the other hand, we can't really ignore how effing annoying all of the #BossBabe posts on Facebook are. See for yourself when you scroll down.

And in conclusion, here's a little life tip for you: if an "opportunity" feels suspiciously like a scam, then it's likely a scam.

We're back at it with another round of pyramid-scheme fails! If you're not familiar with the brand Younique, it's essentially another pyramid-scheme company that calls its employees "Presenters." The Presenters sell overpriced makeup products to their friends and family, and attempt to recruit people to sell the products as well. The company makes outlandish claims about what the products can do, and they often times employ Presenters who don't actually know how to apply makeup at all.

Not convinced yet that it's a total scam? Just let the following pics change your mind.

Anyone with a Facebook account knows that there are a few very specific types of annoying of people in any feed: 

1.) parents who can't seem to post about anything other than their kids doing entirely mundane things; 

2.) people who constantly post about their healthy lifestyles and gym check-ins; and 

3.) the MLM salesperson, also known as the Hun, the #BossBabe or the "entrepreneur." They'll sneakily slide into your DMs under the facade of "friendship" or "just saying hi." Don't be fooled. They're trying to rope you into the endless scam that is the pyramid scheme where literally no one wins expect the higher-ups.

The following posts are some of our favorite cringe moments from the dreaded Boss Babes.

Whether it's Lularoe, Doterra, Younique or Rodan + Fields, these companies all have one thing in common: persistent salespeople who don't seem to understand how scams work.

This Facebook user was armed with facts when she received multiple messages from a Rodan + Fields salesperson who wouldn't seem to give up! If you're not familiar with the term "MLM," it stands for "multi-level marketing" and refers to companies such as LulaRoe or Rodan + Fields where stay-at-home moms are often sucked in to selling bogus products or recruiting friends and family to join in as a salesperson.
