13:46Now PlayingMulti-Level Marketing companies are scams. They're just pyramid schemes with a product. Beyond their financial exploitation, they also use their distributors as a means of skirting around FDA regulations. Basically, they encourage their distributors to subtly break the law and make false claims about their products, and when they're caught, all the blame goes on the distributors, not the company. Companies like Young Living Essential Oils, doTERRA, It Works!, Kyani, and Herbalife do this with their supplements constantly.
The results of this can be seen on social media in the form of people who obsess over supplements instead of using real medicine. These kinds of posts are compiled in subreddits like r/antimlm and r/insanepeoplefacebook, and discussed in podcasts like Sounds Like MLM But Ok.
