Hey there hun. Long time no see! Boy, have I got an opportunity for you. How would you like to be your own boss and join my team? It's so cheap to join! Only $500 up front. You gotta spend money to make money. No initial inventory required! You'll just need to buy the product to show to your customers. It's so easy. I work 80 hours a week for myself—beats working 40 hours a week for a boss, am I right? You're in full control of how much you sell, you just need to sell enough to be qualified for the commission. I am my own boss and I'll be as wealthy as the company's CEO in no time. Anyone can do it, and if they can't, then they don't want it enough. Only quitters lose, and only losers quit!
Sound familiar? If you've ever gotten an unsolicited DM like this from a total stranger or that one high school friend you lost touch with years ago, then you're probably familiar with multi-level marketing. Or perhaps you yourself are a recovering pyramid schemer? Hey, we all go through bouts of desperation and bad life choices, but that doesn't make cringey MLM posts and doublespeak copy-pasta any less annoying for someone on the receiving end. If you're fed up with all the scammers peddling their fake bullshit, you'll surely get a kick out of these anti-MLM memes and eye-roll worthy posts from wannabe entrepreneurs and 'bossbabes.'

We all have that one friend (or several even) who keeps trying to push their pyramid scheme on you. And the worst part is, it doesn't seem to matter how many times you try to tell them that they're a part of a total scam, they'll just continue to believe that they're an "entrepreneur" or a "boss babe." Accordingly, we've put together a collection of memes and posts to get the cringe flowing through your veins!
We've all come across one in the wild at some point. That acquaintance from high school you haven't spoken to in literally nine years who slides into your DMs for one nefarious purpose...to convince you to buy into a non-salaried workforce by peddling bullshit no one wants to buy, all under the guise of 'entrepreneurship.' Yes, we're talking about multi-level marketing schemes and scammers, baby! The truly sad thing about MLM is that the grifter is oftentimes just a victim of grifting themselves, caught in an endless cycle of preying on the down and out. We're all just trying to get through our own personal hells, so it's pretty infuriating to see these big pyramid selling companies succeed at exploiting us even more.
If you're as fed up as us with all this wicked MLM nonsense, you'll surely get a kick out of these posts and memes that share your sentiment.
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!
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.
