This clip truly epitomizes the age of Instagram stupidity, where the urge to record stuff is now powerful enough to override instincts programmed into humans since the dawn of time.

[Sad News] It was a MLM
staroxide something@staroxidereal
well I did it I got something that could be considered an job interview ...I'm not expecting to get actually hired especially considering my circumstances of having to work limited hours but again I really don't have much to lose at this point.

⛔ Don't get into the trap of MLM or direct marketing concepts which are illegal.
⛔ Don't refer anyone into such chain link business models.
⛔ If anyone finds such activity may please bring it to the notice of the Police.
⛔ Don't be attracted towards the lucrative offers for bringing members, making promotions etc., if you do so will land into trouble in the future.

Little known fact: Men Loving Men was popular before Multi-level Marketing, but Jay and Dick changed its meaning to disguise their relationship. /s
Where's the super niche gay lover origin story of MLM we've all been waiting for?

Here's a question no one's asking: Dick DeVos and Jay Van Andel definitely smooched at least once, right? But it was a secret I bet. And tasted like chunky baking soda.

If the @DSAssn were serious about changing it might reflect on the criticisms it receives.
One major social criticism of their operations is covered here:

Generally almost no self-reflection is done on the harm their "communities" cause members.

I think a question no one is asking is why are MLM scientific advisory boards full of bald-headed white men?

...over 6,500 families earned in excess of 100,000.
More than 1,200 families earned in excess of US$500,000 (NT$15 million), while over 580 families surpassed US$1 million (NT$30 million), with these figures continuing to increase each month.
English
The billions of dollars disbursed to date are remarkable, so allow me to clarify what that signifies for you. More than 121,000 families globally have earned in excess of $5,000 (NT$150,000) through Melaleuca, and over 64,000 families have accrued more than $10,000.
10,000 USD...

Am I the only one that finds it weird that @Melaleuca, whcih claims it's not an MLM, has to register as an MLM to operate in Taiwan?

One of my all-time favorite type of videos is pre-fame bands playing their extremely famous songs to a tiny room of people, because they're not yet known.
A thread of some examples:

@TruthinAd They better be barred from MLM and monitored for the next five years. Morton especially.

DSA submitted letters to the @washingtonpost & @nytimes in response to reviews of a book that offers a flawed & dismissive narrative, built on outdated assumptions & elitist attitudes, to characterize direct selling. DSA could not let this portrayal go.

MAGA is making the claim that if you watch the entire 50 minute video, Zelensky is the antagonist.
This isn't true. At all. I was with Zelensky before this meeting and it's important to know his mindset heading in.
1/ A short 🧵on how the entire ambush went down.
Jordan Schachtel@JordanSchachtel
If you watch the full Trump-Zelensky press conference, it is very clear that Zelensky, not Trump or Vance, became the antagonist. Both POTUS and VP were very respectful and cordial until Zelensky very publicly ignited a firestorm. It all starts at 40:30 1) Zelensky essentially rejects how VP described the mandate of POTUS to conduct foreign affairs, and he insinuates that Trump term one did nothing to stop Putin. 2) He then basically tells Vance that his ideas are faulty and that the administration's diplomacy won't work. These two comments are *deliberately antagonistic.* Everything was all well and good, but Zelensky took two major shots in a public forum, and they had to respond. And respond they did. Recall, this is the guy who interfered in our electoral politics and called VP "too radical," and bashed Trump in an interview with New York Mag weeks before the election. Zelensky is ENTIRELY at fault here. 100%.

The Trump Gaza video isn’t just disgraceful—it’s one of the most vile, shameful, and repulsive public statements ever made by a U.S. president.
It’s not just a moral failure—it’s a deliberate, calculated display of cruelty.
A moment that will be remembered as a historic low in American leadership.
