After being in an MLM for 6 years, I find your channel to be validating and cathartic for me, my experiences, and my decision to step away. I'm working up the courage to share my horror stories with you.
Hey Kate , woohoo , what a success story, love that for u ! Jessica Hickson is a great youtuber who could also help validate your experiences as she was deep in one as well ! Hannah has mentioned her before and vice-versa , glad you saw the light at the end of the pyramid 💖
The poor kid of that first hun: “Every morning on the way to school my mom yells and curses into her phone until her throat dries up and she starts coughing.” 😳 What a great way to start their day
it’s such a negative way for the kid to start their day, too. rather just connect with your child while you have the chance? or pay attention to the road? have some music, a podcast or an audiobook on? so many better uses of time.
When a Monat hun asked me what I want to do with my life if money and time wasn’t a problem and I said “lay in bed and watch Netflix and be left alone” and she never responded😂
Extra income. "It could fill your gas tank." "It could buy your groceries." You know what else could do that? Working some over-time, or picking up a shift at most regular jobs.
@@deeparao-tw2oe I’m not. Jessie Lee was my upline when I did pure romance. I haven’t done it in years but it’s how I learned of her. She then moved into the health and wellness space. Jessie posted to her social media page sometime ago about being sick and then announced it was cancer but that she was tough and will fight it. She didn’t know she had cancer during this video but has since passed.
the first woman is so ANGRY not a single person is joining her "business" and that got me thinking absolutely NO OTHER COMPANY or business would do this. respectable business dont go live to yell at people for not working for them. its absolutely insane. btw congrats hannah! keep up with the good work
“If you start and you don’t like it, you can quit!“ But if you quit, I will shame and blame you for failing! Congratulations on your 100th video, Hannah! :-)
The cognitive dissonance, and total contradictory double speak they use is just cringe. "this is so easy" "if you're not earning, you're obviously not working hard enough" "the products sell themselves" "you need to be hustling all day every day" "company has non promissory rules" "I promise you, I promise you I promise you"
How are these people NOT receiving tickets or even child endangering charges for driving and RECORDING where it's very clear they're staring at the phone????!!!! Frankly, I'd be okay with attempted murder charges when you're in a 2ton missle going 40mph down the road and paying no mind to the road!!! Endangered all other lives out there!
It is sick and cowardly that no one that lives in her town, goes to the same school, or even her own company calls her out on this video or at least turns it over to law enforcement for them to investigate. Instead of being part of the gossip after an accident happens, be the hero to all that wont be hurt by stopping this kind of driving behavior!
It's so dangerous, and she has a child in the back! The only reasons I can think of for her deciding to do the video while striving her kid is 1) she's so short on time that this is the only time she has to do it (doesn't exactly support the "it's so easy, you get to make your own hours" bullshit), 2) she wants to show "look, I have time to take my kid to school" (and yet she's still at work anyway so all that argument when it comes to family is bs)
I believe someone would have to report the video to authorities. It has happened before and used as evidence, just that nobody's reporting it in this instance. It also aids greatly if it's reported as it's happening. Reporting past incidences like this may be moot
And turning her head!!! I hope it doesn't slay someone else when she plows into them in what looks like an SUV--especially her poor kid. And if her hubs has such a great job....
I have a chronic illness and had to stop work as a teacher. When someone in an MLM found out they tried to get me to join saying it would help my illness (even though literal professors in their field have found my case hard). I ended up building my own tutoring service for neurodiverse children and have a team of 6 and growing. I pay my team well and would never talk to them like this! It is crazy! Thanks for keeping me company on my flare up days :)
as a neurodivergent adult with various chronic pain problems, it would have been lifechanging to be tutored by someone like you. your experiences & compassion being shared with kids is so valuable & beautiful. thank you.
I'm glad you chose to listen to the specialists and to trust them. Your new job seems so great, you should give advice to the huns: "Instead of trying to scam people, you should make yourself useful, as I do".
Only in MLMs is it a flex to actually get paid .... I feel for these reps where they are made to feel like they HAVE to express being proud or grateful for getting any paycheck or compensation I'll continue "sleeping on" this "opportunity" and keep on with my own day job I genuinely love and my side hustle of a small business I actually own and control all the products/operations for!
Right?? I get paid every two weeks, I can count on that every two weeks and I know exactly how much they are going to be. I would choose that 10/10 times over 82 weekly checks that might be $30 or $1.50. Because, based on the stats of how much they actually make, it's likely those checks are super low. No thanks.
That first lady swearing with the kid in the car 😳 I love how she’s ranting at people…. Then saying ‘join the business, the products sell themselves!’ Ahhh the mental gymnastics!
I am a working mom (and the primary income earner of our two parent home) and these monat moms are so full of themselves. I love my children, but man... I really do value my time in the office, because my kids can be really annoying sometimes (especially the teenager) and I though i am so good at pretending that I am excited to watch Turning Red for the 4th time in the same day to my 4 year old, I am not exited.
Yes!!! I’ve been self-employed for many years and I only really get time away from the kids when I’m on a job. I love love love those moments. Love my kids too but mommy needs 5 fully productive minutes 😁
Exactly! Staying at home 24/7 with little children does not seem like the paradise the Monat moms say it is. Being a parent is a job and everyone deserves a break to interact with adults who are on their same level.
After her second, my sis insisted on staying home with her newborn and 4 year old. She had visions of being the quintessential earth mom. Keep in mind, that the grandparents provided free child care. She went on and on about how the oldest got “cheated”. She lasted one year. These people romanticize stay at home parents. Unless you have a staff, you are a chauffeur, cleaning lady. Home administrator. The fun moments get squeeEd in between practical priorities. It is a HARD job with mo time off.
Her driving and doing this makes meso anxious. I was in a bad accident few years ago because a lady was text while driving and speeding and I was ejected from the car ( seat belt failed ) so seeing this gives me so much anxiety
I've binged so many of your anti-MLM videos. Recently I've been falling asleep to the call videos because the white noise of hun chatter puts me right to sleep lmao
I laughed so hard I snorted @ 10:03 when the rep said “l am not lying” When that’s something a salesperson feels they need to say, I run the other way.
I once I applied to job to studio assist one man. On my first day he said very abruptly “we take sexual harassment/violence very serisously here.”(while also only hiring young pretty girls) ….i mean I sure hope you do… why do you NEED to say that??? That was my first AND last day there.
I get paid weekly...I bet it's a hell of a lot more than what they get. Even Subway paid me weekly it's not that special?? So confused by that being a brag. Congrats on the 100th video, Hannah! My favorite anti-mlm channel 😉
Yes!!! I serve tables and I get paid after every single shift. And if I had to guess I most likely make much more each shift then these lovely ladies make on their weekly pay checks 🥺
@@MayyaPieyya Oh I'm positive you absolutely make more. Servers can make some pretty big bank, depending on the location. I do sales at a computer store where the starting salary is already more than double the "huge paycheque" these women have shown of a measly 17 grand a year, plus I get commission on top of that as well as full benefits. The big difference between jobs like ours and these MLMs is we have guaranteed income regardless of how many sales/tips we get. It must be awful to not be able to rely on an expected income, fearing every month that no matter how hard you work you could still end up net zero or worse.
I would loveeee to reach out to that woman and tell her that I make her annual income in 1.5 months at my sad 9-5 job. It’s sooo hard not to say that when I get the messages about “changing my life.” 🤦🏼♀️ I need to think of a way to say it nicely so it opens their eyes.
Wow! This first lady is out of her mind! There is no way I would “work for” someone who talks like this to her prospective coworkers! She has so much to learn about professionalism.
Congratulations on your 100th anti-mlm episode. My daughters got me hooked on your Channel and I have been binge watching everything you've produce. I too am an educator, though at the other end of my career. I and my daughters have managed to avoid being drawn into mlms over the years but we all have been touched by them through friends who have been sucked in. We absolutely love your approach, your kindness to everyone and you're clear open perspective. One of my daughters is a Poshmark reseller as well so we are your fans on many levels. Thank you so much for everything you do.
"Obviously don't eat a block of cheese..." ~Every Wisconsinite slowly stops eating their bricks of cheese and looks at each other self consciously~ lol
Thank you for nailing the gluten (and dairy) thing. I am a biopsy-diagnosed celiac… I think it’s been 11 years since diagnosis this summer. It kills me when people remove it for no discernible reason. Or worse, when they claim you can lose weight by doing so, etc. Let’s not pretend that gluten free foods aren’t higher in fat and calories, and lower in protein than their gluten counterparts. If you are avoiding processed food (where much of gluten resides) and are moving more, you probably will lose weight, but it has nothing to do with the gluten itself. I would literally die if I continued eating it (very slowly and painfully over years - celiac is not an allergy/anaphylaxis, it’s an autoimmune disorder). So it makes me very sad when people fall into these diet traps. I would love to be able to eat good cakes, donuts and bread again. No one should be depriving themselves of those yummies unless medically necessary! If you feel better not eating it, that’s great. Don’t eat it! I totally support that. If it’s not making you sick, don’t deprive yourself of it. I have to add my friend,y reminder that if you are looking to be tested for celiac, it’s even more important that you DON’T stop eating it until you have been tested/diagnosed. That sounds a little crazy if you are very ill, but it’s important for accurate blood and biopsy results. Gluten is not evil in and of itself. You can have a very healthy, low calorie diet that includes delicious gluten.
yes I agree. Besides, restricting is not really good for dieting. Can't tell you how many people who've asked me "how are you so skinny you drink milk and eat cheese??"
I'm also gluten free for medical reasons, and thank you!! This is so true, I always tell people when they apologize for eating gluten around me that if they can eat it they should eat it and have some extra for me
I so agree. As someone who can't eat all the things listed, the struggle at restaurants and life isn't something I would choose in any way. That video made me so sad.
@@JamesQMurphy I hope your wife is doing well and in recovery. ❤️ Celiac comes with a lot more baggage than most people realize. If she needs a good bread recipe, I have an amazing one (something that is, as you probably know, hard to come by). 😄
Me relaxing watching this video, Hannah … You should have every food in moderation I mean don’t have a whole block of cheese. Me… Slowly putting down the entire wheel of brie cheese that I’ve been snacking on during this entire video👀
Hello from California, I was a Le-Vel “sales” person and was able to send out samples to friends and family. Their proprietary blend did some of my potential customers a whole lot of health harm. It made their heart race, gave them headaches and lastly they didn’t sleep. So, I quite. I was shocked and didn’t want to promote a product that has harmful side affects to potential customers. I felt bad that I was trying to have people try a product had affects that they didn’t have before. Thanks for having a fabulous channel and keep up the good work. 🌸💖🌸
My kids are all grown now. And I remember when they were in hs.. and while I certainly didn't encourage it.. I was happy when they missed the bus. I was so thankful for the 9 minute drive to school. We would get hash browns from dunkins and laugh at the morning show on the radio. Towards the end, I know there were a couple days my youngest missed the bus on purpose. Seeing the mom waste precious time while she endangers her child on the road.. while the kid is also buried in a screen is heartbreaking. I hope she wakes up soon. Empty nest is no joke 😢
One of the saddest things about these videos demonizing "9-5"s is that if these women would put HALF the work into some kind of entrepreneurial pursuit, they would make so much more money. The choices are not "9-5 or MLM." When I moved to my current city a dozen years ago I had no job. I went to Walmart and bought cleaning supplies, ordered $20 business cards on Vistaprint, and started cleaning houses. Within one year, I was booked 6 days a week and I was constantly turning down new customers. And every MINUTE I was working, I was PAID. I have not collected a paycheck from anyone else since then. Cleaning houses doesn't take any special skills, other than just physically being able to do the work. There are hundreds of pursuits that these young, healthy gals could be doing and making tangible money. Hell, a lot of them are gorgeous and could take a real stab at being "influencers" (like you, I hate that word!) or bloggers. Anyway I'm rambling now
Girl, was working while watching/listening to this post and I was thinking how much I’d love to just listen to you telling stories. Don’t even care what it is, lol. As it’s been stated hundreds of times, you are just so calming and do such a great job of keeping my “ADHD brain” occupied so the rest of my brain can focus on work. I’m mostly just said as I am caught up on all your posts. Keep up the great work!!!
I love how the first video the thrive rep said “you don’t need a customer complaints department!” And then started to stumble over her words after she realized she said that. Mam, if your products are so good and life changing, why do you need a complaints department? Right, because you’re a scam!
I am 1000% with you on your opinion regarding restrictive eating. When my sister (16 years apart) was 4 I took her on a beach vacation. Every time we ate I'd ask her what she wanted and she would say "is ______ healthy?" I was shocked thinking "it's healthy to eat. You're 4. As long as you're not on a strict diet of candy, chips, cookies, icecream, & soda you're fine" fast forward about 10 years I have a 3 & 7 year old. They make similar comments. I flat out tell them "eating is healthy. as long as you're eating food, you can have snacks too!"
It would be FANTASTIC if these "leaders" gave their downline a bit of their bonus when they get those huge checks every month being they're the reason they get them. I love your videos, girl!!!
I have major anxiety with that Level rep! Seriously keep your eyes on the road, hands on the steering wheel and stop effing and jeffing in front of your child!! Love your vids btw and also really enjoyed the vlog too!
The reason your channel has grown so much is...... YOU! You're such a natural in front of the camera and so good at informing people without ever belittling them.
"So...you can't be a present and happy parent unless you're in a shampoo pyramid scheme." - Cut to MLMs using this as a selling line because they get the wrong end of the stick again.
Congrats on reaching 100 anti-mlm videos!!! I'm here for many, many more! Best line ever....you can cover a turd in frosting but when you bite into it it is still a turd!
Just wanted to thank you Hannah for your clean language channel. I have tried other anti MLM channels and yours is the only one that I know I can play in front of my kids. Especially the horror stories and deep dives you do because I know the videos that are you talking alone are clean and I appreciate that so much!
i know you're not currently in early-education, hannah, but i couldn't help but think as you were discussing the beachbody "coach" that it would've been so powerful for me to have a teacher like you as a little girl. i had body-positive teachers as a teen/young adult, but by that point i had been fatshamed and food-shamed for so long that my eating disorders were a forgone conclusion. the only teachers that ever discussed food with me as a child were ones who tried to identify with me as fellow fat people, but they assumed that our collective goal was to diet and lose weight. this mentality was (and continues to be) so incredibly damaging, and i am so grateful to you for using your platform to be such a beacon of warmth and hope. incidentally, i really want cheesecake factory...
As someone who *actually* makes six figures a year, I can assure you I am not living a life of luxury. My car is 20 years old, I wear sweatpants most days, and my house is nothing special. MLM bots love to throw “six figures” around like that means you’ve “made it” in life, but in today’s economy it’s not as much money as you think it is.
Congratulations on your 100th anti-MAM episode! In my country we get 1 monthly paycheck. Quality, not quantity. I'm not a millionaire but I can pay the rent for the flat I'm renting, I can buy food, I can buy a skirt or a book, go to the cinema... And still have some save money left.
Hi hello!! I need to go on a little ramble bc I'm very excited!!!!!!! I normally listen to your videos as I do other things and while I've listened to this episode before, this time I caught the word orthorexia and im!!!!!!! So happy I could cry!!!!!!!!!! I've never heard anyone really talk abt it! And it's not officially in the dsm yet as of when I last checked, so docs usually don't like talking abt it!! Some of them know what it is, and will therefore at least diagnose said patients with Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, but it's sadly so common for them to go "I think something isn't healthy here but idk what" and for ppl w Orthorexia to go undiagnosed!! I feel like modern us food socialization(?) makes it REALLY easy to fall into patterns/behavior that would easily form/cause Orthorexia and that it's hard to identify BC of that! Like it's just seen as normal diet culture bc ppl don't understand how harmful non-medical, restrictive diets are!! So thank you SO MUCH! I literally just woke up and this made my entire day 😭💞💞
A Thrive patch on someone's arm says either "Victim" or "Manipulator." And she is taking Sooooo many chances with her child's life just to shill that crap. I almost lost it when she turned around to shush the kid! I'm starting to think every bad driver in an SUV is an MLM member. Anyway, you are on fire today! Still laughing at the turd in frosting. Congratulations on 100 videos, you deserve the best.
I hate it when they say "what they do" is share products. No, no it's not. What they really do, the actual *job* is BEGGING people to join. It's so demeaning...
Not just begging, but harassing waitstaff or retail workers, those who couldn't just walk away from them to join their "business". I hate that these minimum wage workers have no choice but to indulge them even if they are not interested. Lady if you are so rich why are you bothering someone at their workplace?
That beachbody coach at the cheesecake factory is disturbing. I’m a bodybuilder and this behaviour is reminiscent of prepping for a show but way more toxic. and the way she demonizes that stuff is beyond problematic - we don’t even do that, and we recognize the dieting we do is for a specific purpose, for a specific day to showcase the work, and it’s not sustainable year round, and it still doesn’t even require us to have “good vs bad” foods. I’m floored at the toxic diet culture, the way they’re not certified to talk on any of this, and are coaching this stuff out.
I have to eat that way because of coeliac disease, soy intolerance and GERD. I've had to ask if a dish can be changed to accommodate my needs because otherwise theres little I can eat on a meal out. HOWEVER. it sucks. Its embarrassing, it's always a risk that they'll say they do it but dont, its stressful and its BORING. but I have to because of medical conditions. The idea people would CHOOSE this hellscape is mind boggling. The effect on my mental health and my relationship with food is huge, my ED kicked off hard when I was diagnosed with GERD and had to go on the "bland" diet....its exhausting. It's all you think about. I wish stuff like this was illegal
Food should not be correlated with moral value. "I did good today": e.g. I did not eat "bad" food. You are not a morally compromised person if you eat chocolate cake! Makes me so mad...
Lovely Hannah, congratulations on your 100th video in the series and your continued and well-deserved success. We spend so much time focusing on how awful people can be and it makes me happy to see someone genuine and kind doing so well for themselves. Long may it continue. 🎉
The whole thing sounds incredibly stressful. Constantly thinking about social media posts, live streams, recruiting, selling, scrambling to make deadlines and quotas. I can’t imagine you can be as mentally present with your children as they’re claiming 😞 Seems like all your time would be spend obsessing over your “business”
Exactly. Your body may be in the same room as your child but your attention is not. And children know that. She should have used the car ride to school engaging her child to have a good day and do her best. Instead, the girl probably went to school extra-stressed because she could hear the strain in her mother’s voice but didn’t understand it. And was she still in the car when her mother dropped the “F” bomb? Nice.
For the “lead executive director” income you broke down, that’s even before taxes and not counting what she spent on product. So even near the top of the company you’re making well below minimum wage
"I provide great customer service to my customers"... I'm sure she takes orders, answers questions, and packages up their products while she's driving as well.
Of all The things we can complain of I don’t think this is one of them. I’m sure you do lots behind the wheel As well. That’s not the issue here. MLM’s are Scams.
“You are donating your time…” That’s such a great point. You often hear in these videos to stop trading time for money. Instead I guess they don’t want you to trade your valuable time for money. They just want your time for free!
That is exactly what they are doing!! They are all working for free simply because they think if they do that, all of a sudden they are rich?? WTF? At some point, I think well, stupid you let us know how that worked out for you!
Re the Beachbody hun: I agree with your attitude about eating, Hannah! One of the reasons to add to your excellent list is that it’s often self-defeating. She’s worried about gluten in mashed potatoes (?), so swapped it out for sweet potato fries. She just seemed to gloss over that - I thought, those fries probably have 600-700 calories! (Sweet potatoes are often twice-fried.) So to check, I looked it up on CF’s published nutrition info. Turns out the mashed potatoes she ditched have 450 calories, and the sweet potato fries clock in at 1010 calories! She should have just eaten a bite of her kids’ cheesecake. Or perhaps looked at the nutrition info on her phone before ordering, because often what we “feel” is healthier is anything but. So yeah, don’t take nutrition/diet/“wellness” advice from this or any other unaccredited MLM volunteer. Loved the quick bit about Beautycounter - yikes! Would love a deep dive about them. Love all your videos!
Just a nitpick: she was worried about dairy in the mashed potatoes, not gluten. But your point about sweet potato fries being super-high in calories is spot-on.
Being lactose sensitive myself, I have had low points of eating an almost whole block of cheese and regretting it later. But if someone does not have any sensitivities, I honestly think there's so many more ways to lose weight in a healthy way. Great video, as always ❤️❤️❤️
I love that you put the time stamps for the clips in this video because so often I realize that I couldn't even pay attention to what the Huns were saying over three or four minutes and need to rewind
The thrive woman went from low energy grouch to high energy grouch. 🥴 Also, of course we'll never see her without a patch and of course she's drinking shakes daily. She very likely has a shit ton of pv inventory that needs to be used. 🙄
Hannah using the turd analogy…☠️☠️☠️ Also, congrats ma’am!! I have enjoyed every single video so far, and I’m looking forward to many more!! Much love to you and your precious kitties!! ❤❤
I love what you said about the MLM vs "influencer" model. They are not paying you to promote their products, you are DONATING your time to promote their products. That one statement sums it all up.
OMG yes! It bothers me so much when these reps talk to the camera while driving. If they mainly looked at the road then it wouldn't be so bad but many of them look mostly at the phone! Drives me insane.
“He’s been using our BC sunscreen for years” and he’s had melanoma, HOW IS THAT NOT A RED FLAG?!? I take away from that: our sunscreen does not help prevent sun damage and melanoma. That’s probably an artificial concern and I’m probably just a hater. (if I were to ask-a-hun)
I have eczema and I still use the same products coz my skin is just the way it is....when I was an infant my mom had to stop feeding me two weeks from birth because she had eczema on her breast ..but I had already contracted but nobody's fault.... But I guess a HUN would have found a way to guilt trip her...THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO BOUNDS...
This is exactly what I thought, your crappy Mlm sunscreen already contributed to that gentleman’s melanoma, for god sake’s you have to be some kind of monster to try to convince some poor elderly guy to ignore his Doctor so you can make a couple bucks off sunscreen, I would be begging this poor guy to forgive me for selling a crappy product that didn’t work.
Happy 100th! I think Monat VIP program is still offering no flex-ship commitment (so no actual requirement past the 1 order) - this was March Customer Appreciation Month - that they KEEP extending because they’re desperate. It doesn’t make the post any less deceptive or misleading, but it does highlight how badly they’re doing.
My warmest congratulations on your success, Hannah!! I found your channel just a little while ago, when you had about 33K subscribers. You are virtually at 40K!!! I never had any experience with MLMs, but your person, your kindness, your intelligence, and your honesty drew me in-not to mention the fascinating psychological dynamics that go on in this world. I thank you for all your work and dedication. Sometimes I get so sad: I hear people left their master’s degree or their real job with benefits for this, wow!! And I always figured selling products is just a loophole for the company to continue to operate as a pyramid scheme-exactly as you pointed out in this video. Thank you for your wonderful commentary. I sincerely hope you can help open many people’s eyes to the manipulative and deceptive practices that go on and that somehow “make sense” to those who fall prey to them. The system seems to be designed to prey on vulnerabilities that are very common and, many times, simply part of the human condition. You are very precious. Also, I cannot get enough of Cooper and Zeke. You have the best helpers in the entire world. 🥰♥️
I'm so glad I found you super early and I get to experience your channel grow and your message reaching other people! I've never really had any direct interactions with MLMs (they're not thaaat common in my country), but the way you deliver your content is just too good not to watch! Congrats on your 100th anti MLM video! We'll be here ready to watch the 200th, I'm sure! Really really proud of you and your work!
The sunshine girlie cracks me up because there's also a teacher shortage and teachers also don't have to work during the summer. If you have a choice between an MLM and a teaching career be a teacher. Guaranteed pay, optional work during the summer and BENEFITS like retirement plans and paid leave.
Urghghgg my summer break ends this week thooooo 😭😭😭 I just want to be gardening and crafting and listening to Hannah all day, year round, where’s THAT mlm? 😂
Congrats on your 100th video! You're my favourite anti-mlm content creator. I love your approach, always reminding to not hate the people but the company. And with you breaking down the different types of predatory means, I was able to clearly list it out to my friends who was considering to join an MLM. My favourite series is the horror stories, can't get enough of them, I binge all of it in a few days. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Hope you reach more 100th videos!
I've been feeling sick today but this brightened my night! I feel like I've been following you for so long and 100 videos still feels so huge. Also, Boss Lee never fails to deliver!
Barely 2 minutes in and you've got me crying from laughter omg You're about to break 40k here, how fitting for your 100th! Congrats, of course! Stay awesome, stay well
Congratulations on 100 Anti MLM content! The first woman gets me good. I love going into small businesses and seeing unique product. I love supporting people like that. I like looking at the stuff I want to buy, maybe even gifts for people. If I need shampoo or make up go to a regular supermarket or drugstore for that. They are just one more step to me buying online like Amazon. I get that directly to my door and DON'T need to talk to anyone, or feel like I have to justify my purchase
Dear Instagram, Facebook, Meta, Lizard Man: Can we get an automatic car mode (like on Spotify)but for Instagram? She is endangering people and a CHILD because she "so freaking passionate about it" doing a story. Also that cough is killing me.
honestly such a good idea, even just a simple- don’t instagram and drive screen if the phone detected car motion, and have a check for “im not driving”
Congratulations on 100 videos!! The only thing I can say *barely* in “defense” of the girl going to get induced is that depending on how far progressed you are, and how your providers decide to proceed in an induction, sometimes they can take 24-48 hours or longer. I got lucky when I was induced, it only took 3 hours. So she was probably laying there bored and figured she’d “get some things done”. HOWEVER I still 100% agree a REAL job wouldn’t be requiring you to get things done while you’re being induced and when she gets home from the hospital she’ll have to post just as much or more to make up for lost time and that’s time she’ll be losing with her newborn.
I will not be surprised if she used her newborn to shill her crap. She will go live while breastfeeding, saying how lucky she is to be able to make money while feeding her baby.
Interesting....my 9-5 that's so supposedly so horrible has never had to go on IG to convince me or try to defend an "opportunity" at the crack of dawn. It's the anger & defensiveness for me. I can't imagine this energy appealing to anyone. Love your videos by the way....you have such calm relaxing energy :)
Starting with an emotional thank you and saying how grateful you are implies you’ve watched a few to many hun videos😂 Seriously though, congrats for everything you continue to do and you genuinely do deserve success!
I have tried 3 MLMs and I was always shamed by my upline for not doing well. Thank you for explaining why I couldn't do well. It's the business model; it's not me. ❤
The non-profit I work for just sent me on my first “business trip” - it’s almost exactly what these girls make them out to be. Best part, they paid me, not the other way around 😁
not me with covid binge watching these till I get to the 100th and then celebrating like it happened yesterday! HAPPY 100 WOO!! Thanks so much for the company today.
After being in an MLM for 6 years, I find your channel to be validating and cathartic for me, my experiences, and my decision to step away. I'm working up the courage to share my horror stories with you.
Glad you got out Kate, we'd love to hear your experiences!
Congrats to you Kate, and we’re ready to hear your stories when you’re ready to share!
❤️
Hey Kate , woohoo , what a success story, love that for u ! Jessica Hickson is a great youtuber who could also help validate your experiences as she was deep in one as well ! Hannah has mentioned her before and vice-versa , glad you saw the light at the end of the pyramid 💖
I am looking forward to hearing it.
That first lady is going over big bumps while driving and all I could think was those are the bodies she hit while driving distracted😬 😂
This made me laugh out loud! 😂
😂😂😂
The poor kid of that first hun:
“Every morning on the way to school my mom yells and curses into her phone until her throat dries up and she starts coughing.” 😳 What a great way to start their day
Drop the off first, then make a video? Just a thought. I hate when people curse in front of kids.
it’s such a negative way for the kid to start their day, too. rather just connect with your child while you have the chance? or pay attention to the road? have some music, a podcast or an audiobook on? so many better uses of time.
11:55 - I’m afraid of this lunatic livestream yelling on the way to school drop-off! To quote Hannah - “yikes!”.
lol!!!!! Love it
The f bombs dropped with the poor kiddo in the car.
“I get to be more present with my kids thanks to Monat!”
“Honey! Can you turn that down and close the door? Mommy is going to scream into her phone!”
When a Monat hun asked me what I want to do with my life if money and time wasn’t a problem and I said “lay in bed and watch Netflix and be left alone” and she never responded😂
😂
That's a wonderful life goal! 😂
But that's the truth.....WATCH ALL THE TV I CAN....
I’d build a space ship and explore distant galaxies with a ragtag group of misfits.
🤣🤣
Extra income. "It could fill your gas tank." "It could buy your groceries."
You know what else could do that? Working some over-time, or picking up a shift at most regular jobs.
I love that, “it could pay your daycare” - that you only need so you can get this “pay check” 😂
“I got a job part time at the grocery store-and I get an employee discount…so top that..”
"You'll feel so healthy and amazing!" *coughs 5 times* *nose sounds conjested* - totally sold me, sounds super effective
She had cancer and she has since passed.
@@arrogantlykisource?
@mommalion7028 lol they r just trolling most likely 😂
@@deeparao-tw2oe I’m not. Jessie Lee was my upline when I did pure romance. I haven’t done it in years but it’s how I learned of her. She then moved into the health and wellness space. Jessie posted to her social media page sometime ago about being sick and then announced it was cancer but that she was tough and will fight it. She didn’t know she had cancer during this video but has since passed.
The hun saying “some broad” like she’s a 1930’s gangster is absolutely sending me
the first woman is so ANGRY not a single person is joining her "business" and that got me thinking absolutely NO OTHER COMPANY or business would do this. respectable business dont go live to yell at people for not working for them. its absolutely insane.
btw congrats hannah! keep up with the good work
Such a great point
She doesn’t look like she’s wearing a seat belt 💀😂
Doesn't she say the products were "good for her mood" too? 😬
“If you start and you don’t like it, you can quit!“ But if you quit, I will shame and blame you for failing! Congratulations on your 100th video, Hannah! :-)
I meant 100th anti-MLM video! :-)
The cognitive dissonance, and total contradictory double speak they use is just cringe.
"this is so easy" "if you're not earning, you're obviously not working hard enough" "the products sell themselves" "you need to be hustling all day every day" "company has non promissory rules" "I promise you, I promise you I promise you"
@@lexwithbub Ohh, good point!
How are these people NOT receiving tickets or even child endangering charges for driving and RECORDING where it's very clear they're staring at the phone????!!!! Frankly, I'd be okay with attempted murder charges when you're in a 2ton missle going 40mph down the road and paying no mind to the road!!! Endangered all other lives out there!
It is sick and cowardly that no one that lives in her town, goes to the same school, or even her own company calls her out on this video or at least turns it over to law enforcement for them to investigate. Instead of being part of the gossip after an accident happens, be the hero to all that wont be hurt by stopping this kind of driving behavior!
@@LaLa-xf7ku exactly 💯!!
Exactly - it makes me so angry 😠😠😠😠
It's so dangerous, and she has a child in the back! The only reasons I can think of for her deciding to do the video while striving her kid is 1) she's so short on time that this is the only time she has to do it (doesn't exactly support the "it's so easy, you get to make your own hours" bullshit), 2) she wants to show "look, I have time to take my kid to school" (and yet she's still at work anyway so all that argument when it comes to family is bs)
I believe someone would have to report the video to authorities. It has happened before and used as evidence, just that nobody's reporting it in this instance. It also aids greatly if it's reported as it's happening. Reporting past incidences like this may be moot
Oh my God that little bit you did about the first Hun telling her kid to turn down whatever they had while she's filming and driving _slew_ me!
And she’s driving over big bridges and stuff it looks like 🤦🏻♀️
And turning her head!!! I hope it doesn't slay someone else when she plows into them in what looks like an SUV--especially her poor kid. And if her hubs has such a great job....
I live for sassy Hannah, honestly.
But she’s “so freaking passionate!”
And she was dropping f bombs while driving her kid to school!
I have a chronic illness and had to stop work as a teacher. When someone in an MLM found out they tried to get me to join saying it would help my illness (even though literal professors in their field have found my case hard). I ended up building my own tutoring service for neurodiverse children and have a team of 6 and growing. I pay my team well and would never talk to them like this! It is crazy! Thanks for keeping me company on my flare up days :)
you ended up building a wonderful thing for yourself, your team members and the kids you tutor. good for you for not being sucked into an MLM!
so cool you were able to find work, and work you enjoy at that, with a chronic illness
as a neurodivergent adult with various chronic pain problems, it would have been lifechanging to be tutored by someone like you. your experiences & compassion being shared with kids is so valuable & beautiful. thank you.
I'm glad you chose to listen to the specialists and to trust them. Your new job seems so great, you should give advice to the huns: "Instead of trying to scam people, you should make yourself useful, as I do".
Ugh I hate so much when they say they’re “hiring”. That is SO ridiculously deceiving
If you’re “hiring,” aren’t I an “employee” then? That means I expect to get paid regardless. Oh, that’s *not* what they mean? Fancy that 🙄
A Mary Kay rep told me that in Target lol. She said she had part time and full time positions… and management positions lol
@@tashaedwards😂😂😂 I would’ve asked “oh? What do they pay??”
"Quit sleeping on this! Quit sleeping on this! Quit sleeping on this!!".... Makes me want to go back to bed. 😂
You can cover a turd in frosting, but when you bite into it, it's still a turd. That made my day.
OMG, I love that phrase! I must use it in conversation now, lol!
Me too! I love that!
Only in MLMs is it a flex to actually get paid ....
I feel for these reps where they are made to feel like they HAVE to express being proud or grateful for getting any paycheck or compensation
I'll continue "sleeping on" this "opportunity" and keep on with my own day job I genuinely love and my side hustle of a small business I actually own and control all the products/operations for!
Right?? I get paid every two weeks, I can count on that every two weeks and I know exactly how much they are going to be. I would choose that 10/10 times over 82 weekly checks that might be $30 or $1.50. Because, based on the stats of how much they actually make, it's likely those checks are super low. No thanks.
That first lady swearing with the kid in the car 😳 I love how she’s ranting at people…. Then saying ‘join the business, the products sell themselves!’ Ahhh the mental gymnastics!
They sell themselves but she has to convince us. Makes so much sense 😂
When she says she *used* to be grouchy…
I am a working mom (and the primary income earner of our two parent home) and these monat moms are so full of themselves. I love my children, but man... I really do value my time in the office, because my kids can be really annoying sometimes (especially the teenager) and I though i am so good at pretending that I am excited to watch Turning Red for the 4th time in the same day to my 4 year old, I am not exited.
Yes!!! I’ve been self-employed for many years and I only really get time away from the kids when I’m on a job. I love love love those moments. Love my kids too but mommy needs 5 fully productive minutes 😁
Yes, preach!
LOL
Exactly! Staying at home 24/7 with little children does not seem like the paradise the Monat moms say it is. Being a parent is a job and everyone deserves a break to interact with adults who are on their same level.
After her second, my sis insisted on staying home with her newborn and 4 year old. She had visions of being the quintessential earth mom. Keep in mind, that the grandparents provided free child care. She went on and on about how the oldest got “cheated”. She lasted one year. These people romanticize stay at home parents. Unless you have a staff, you are a chauffeur, cleaning lady. Home administrator. The fun moments get squeeEd in between practical priorities. It is a HARD job with mo time off.
Her driving and doing this makes meso anxious. I was in a bad accident few years ago because a lady was text while driving and speeding and I was ejected from the car ( seat belt failed ) so seeing this gives me so much anxiety
I've binged so many of your anti-MLM videos. Recently I've been falling asleep to the call videos because the white noise of hun chatter puts me right to sleep lmao
For real!
Literally sleeping on the opportunity! 😂 Yas!
Same!!!!😂
Why are they called huns, please?
I laughed so hard I snorted @ 10:03 when the rep said “l am not lying” When that’s something a salesperson feels they need to say, I run the other way.
I once I applied to job to studio assist one man. On my first day he said very abruptly “we take sexual harassment/violence very serisously here.”(while also only hiring young pretty girls) ….i mean I sure hope you do… why do you NEED to say that??? That was my first AND last day there.
I get paid weekly...I bet it's a hell of a lot more than what they get. Even Subway paid me weekly it's not that special?? So confused by that being a brag. Congrats on the 100th video, Hannah! My favorite anti-mlm channel 😉
Yup, I own a legit small business with w-2 employees and pay them weekly
Yes!!! I serve tables and I get paid after every single shift. And if I had to guess I most likely make much more each shift then these lovely ladies make on their weekly pay checks 🥺
@@MayyaPieyya Oh I'm positive you absolutely make more. Servers can make some pretty big bank, depending on the location. I do sales at a computer store where the starting salary is already more than double the "huge paycheque" these women have shown of a measly 17 grand a year, plus I get commission on top of that as well as full benefits. The big difference between jobs like ours and these MLMs is we have guaranteed income regardless of how many sales/tips we get. It must be awful to not be able to rely on an expected income, fearing every month that no matter how hard you work you could still end up net zero or worse.
"Don't eat a block of cheese".
Excuse me. Ma'am. I agree with so much of what you say. But I love me some blocks of cheese.
Hahaha when I said that I was picturing the 32 oz blocks of cheese they sell at Costco and Sam’s Club 💀 but hey, eat a block of cheese! I don’t judge
@@HannahAlonzo 32 ounce block of cheese sounds perfect. I can't be trusted to stop when it comes to cheese.
I came looking for this comment because I’m about to bite into a block of cheese right now.
I would loveeee to reach out to that woman and tell her that I make her annual income in 1.5 months at my sad 9-5 job. It’s sooo hard not to say that when I get the messages about “changing my life.” 🤦🏼♀️ I need to think of a way to say it nicely so it opens their eyes.
Wow! This first lady is out of her mind! There is no way I would “work for” someone who talks like this to her prospective coworkers! She has so much to learn about professionalism.
Congratulations on your 100th anti-mlm episode. My daughters got me hooked on your Channel and I have been binge watching everything you've produce. I too am an educator, though at the other end of my career. I and my daughters have managed to avoid being drawn into mlms over the years but we all have been touched by them through friends who have been sucked in. We absolutely love your approach, your kindness to everyone and you're clear open perspective. One of my daughters is a Poshmark reseller as well so we are your fans on many levels. Thank you so much for everything you do.
"Obviously don't eat a block of cheese..."

Thank you for nailing the gluten (and dairy) thing. I am a biopsy-diagnosed celiac… I think it’s been 11 years since diagnosis this summer. It kills me when people remove it for no discernible reason. Or worse, when they claim you can lose weight by doing so, etc. Let’s not pretend that gluten free foods aren’t higher in fat and calories, and lower in protein than their gluten counterparts. If you are avoiding processed food (where much of gluten resides) and are moving more, you probably will lose weight, but it has nothing to do with the gluten itself. I would literally die if I continued eating it (very slowly and painfully over years - celiac is not an allergy/anaphylaxis, it’s an autoimmune disorder). So it makes me very sad when people fall into these diet traps. I would love to be able to eat good cakes, donuts and bread again. No one should be depriving themselves of those yummies unless medically necessary!
If you feel better not eating it, that’s great. Don’t eat it! I totally support that. If it’s not making you sick, don’t deprive yourself of it. I have to add my friend,y reminder that if you are looking to be tested for celiac, it’s even more important that you DON’T stop eating it until you have been tested/diagnosed. That sounds a little crazy if you are very ill, but it’s important for accurate blood and biopsy results.
Gluten is not evil in and of itself. You can have a very healthy, low calorie diet that includes delicious gluten.
yes I agree. Besides, restricting is not really good for dieting. Can't tell you how many people who've asked me "how are you so skinny you drink milk and eat cheese??"
I'm also gluten free for medical reasons, and thank you!! This is so true, I always tell people when they apologize for eating gluten around me that if they can eat it they should eat it and have some extra for me
I so agree. As someone who can't eat all the things listed, the struggle at restaurants and life isn't something I would choose in any way. That video made me so sad.
My wife has celiac as well. Agree and thank you!
@@JamesQMurphy I hope your wife is doing well and in recovery. ❤️ Celiac comes with a lot more baggage than most people realize. If she needs a good bread recipe, I have an amazing one (something that is, as you probably know, hard to come by). 😄
Me relaxing watching this video,
Hannah … You should have every food in moderation I mean don’t have a whole block of cheese.

Too much of a good thing ain't good no more! Hahaha

Hello from California, I was a Le-Vel “sales” person and was able to send out samples to friends and family. Their proprietary blend did some of my potential customers a whole lot of health harm. It made their heart race, gave them headaches and lastly they didn’t sleep. So, I quite. I was shocked and didn’t want to promote a product that has harmful side affects to potential customers. I felt bad that I was trying to have people try a product had affects that they didn’t have before. Thanks for having a fabulous channel and keep up the good work. 🌸💖🌸
My kids are all grown now. And I remember when they were in hs.. and while I certainly didn't encourage it.. I was happy when they missed the bus. I was so thankful for the 9 minute drive to school. We would get hash browns from dunkins and laugh at the morning show on the radio. Towards the end, I know there were a couple days my youngest missed the bus on purpose. Seeing the mom waste precious time while she endangers her child on the road.. while the kid is also buried in a screen is heartbreaking. I hope she wakes up soon. Empty nest is no joke 😢
One of the saddest things about these videos demonizing "9-5"s is that if these women would put HALF the work into some kind of entrepreneurial pursuit, they would make so much more money. The choices are not "9-5 or MLM."
When I moved to my current city a dozen years ago I had no job. I went to Walmart and bought cleaning supplies, ordered $20 business cards on Vistaprint, and started cleaning houses. Within one year, I was booked 6 days a week and I was constantly turning down new customers. And every MINUTE I was working, I was PAID. I have not collected a paycheck from anyone else since then. Cleaning houses doesn't take any special skills, other than just physically being able to do the work. There are hundreds of pursuits that these young, healthy gals could be doing and making tangible money. Hell, a lot of them are gorgeous and could take a real stab at being "influencers" (like you, I hate that word!) or bloggers.
Anyway I'm rambling now
Girl, was working while watching/listening to this post and I was thinking how much I’d love to just listen to you telling stories. Don’t even care what it is, lol.
As it’s been stated hundreds of times, you are just so calming and do such a great job of keeping my “ADHD brain” occupied so the rest of my brain can focus on work. I’m mostly just said as I am caught up on all your posts.
Keep up the great work!!!
Listening to her talk helps me in the same way 😊
YES. I've had this exact thought, that I'd just listen to her tell stories. Maybe you should look into audiobook narration, Hannah 👍
Same! I listen to Hanna while doing house work. Can totally imagine her telling some other topics but (un)fortunately mlm content is bottomless 😂
Absolutely! Her voice is so soothing and makes work more enjoyable when you're listening. Even better when she adds the sass! LOL
Right! I have her videos playing while I work so I don't get sucked down the various rabbit holes the my brain wants to go down lol.
I love how the first video the thrive rep said “you don’t need a customer complaints department!” And then started to stumble over her words after she realized she said that. Mam, if your products are so good and life changing, why do you need a complaints department? Right, because you’re a scam!
She really told on herself 🤣🤣🤣
I am 1000% with you on your opinion regarding restrictive eating. When my sister (16 years apart) was 4 I took her on a beach vacation. Every time we ate I'd ask her what she wanted and she would say "is ______ healthy?" I was shocked thinking "it's healthy to eat. You're 4. As long as you're not on a strict diet of candy, chips, cookies, icecream, & soda you're fine"
fast forward about 10 years I have a 3 & 7 year old. They make similar comments. I flat out tell them "eating is healthy. as long as you're eating food, you can have snacks too!"
The way you break down the differences between an influencer and an MLM is perfection!
I love the way you keep touching your hair instead of just bursting into a ball of flames out of rage sometimes... 🤣🤣
It would be FANTASTIC if these "leaders" gave their downline a bit of their bonus when they get those huge checks every month being they're the reason they get them. I love your videos, girl!!!
I have major anxiety with that Level rep! Seriously keep your eyes on the road, hands on the steering wheel and stop effing and jeffing in front of your child!! Love your vids btw and also really enjoyed the vlog too!
The reason your channel has grown so much is...... YOU! You're such a natural in front of the camera and so good at informing people without ever belittling them.
"So...you can't be a present and happy parent unless you're in a shampoo pyramid scheme." - Cut to MLMs using this as a selling line because they get the wrong end of the stick again.
When that first woman hit a bump I swore I was about to see a car accident. My eyes went huge 👁️👁️
“You’re not gonna feel icky or gross”. 12:15 😂😂😂 Now that’s one heck of an incentive. The fact that she has to say that is very telling.
A++++ Mom teaching her child to swear and make live videos while driving 🙄
"I'm gonna scream like an asshole and THEN people will surely sign up under me."
Kid in the backseat: "why do we need money for christmas mommy??"
Congrats on reaching 100 anti-mlm videos!!! I'm here for many, many more!
Best line ever....you can cover a turd in frosting but when you bite into it it is still a turd!
That one lady who showed her check amount, sis could work at ulta or something with the same pay for half the work 😂
Just wanted to thank you Hannah for your clean language channel. I have tried other anti MLM channels and yours is the only one that I know I can play in front of my kids. Especially the horror stories and deep dives you do because I know the videos that are you talking alone are clean and I appreciate that so much!
i know you're not currently in early-education, hannah, but i couldn't help but think as you were discussing the beachbody "coach" that it would've been so powerful for me to have a teacher like you as a little girl. i had body-positive teachers as a teen/young adult, but by that point i had been fatshamed and food-shamed for so long that my eating disorders were a forgone conclusion. the only teachers that ever discussed food with me as a child were ones who tried to identify with me as fellow fat people, but they assumed that our collective goal was to diet and lose weight. this mentality was (and continues to be) so incredibly damaging, and i am so grateful to you for using your platform to be such a beacon of warmth and hope.
incidentally, i really want cheesecake factory...
I love how she says every dollar you get from this is yours forgetting that taxes aren’t withheld and some of those dollars are the IRS’s…….
As someone who *actually* makes six figures a year, I can assure you I am not living a life of luxury. My car is 20 years old, I wear sweatpants most days, and my house is nothing special. MLM bots love to throw “six figures” around like that means you’ve “made it” in life, but in today’s economy it’s not as much money as you think it is.
If you have kids and live in a high COL area, six figures a year gets you by.
Congratulations on your 100th anti-MAM episode!
In my country we get 1 monthly paycheck. Quality, not quantity.
I'm not a millionaire but I can pay the rent for the flat I'm renting, I can buy food, I can buy a skirt or a book, go to the cinema... And still have some save money left.
Hi hello!! I need to go on a little ramble bc I'm very excited!!!!!!!
I normally listen to your videos as I do other things and while I've listened to this episode before, this time I caught the word orthorexia and im!!!!!!! So happy I could cry!!!!!!!!!!
I've never heard anyone really talk abt it! And it's not officially in the dsm yet as of when I last checked, so docs usually don't like talking abt it!! Some of them know what it is, and will therefore at least diagnose said patients with Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, but it's sadly so common for them to go "I think something isn't healthy here but idk what" and for ppl w Orthorexia to go undiagnosed!!
I feel like modern us food socialization(?) makes it REALLY easy to fall into patterns/behavior that would easily form/cause Orthorexia and that it's hard to identify BC of that!
Like it's just seen as normal diet culture bc ppl don't understand how harmful non-medical, restrictive diets are!!
So thank you SO MUCH! I literally just woke up and this made my entire day 😭💞💞
A Thrive patch on someone's arm says either "Victim" or "Manipulator." And she is taking Sooooo many chances with her child's life just to shill that crap. I almost lost it when she turned around to shush the kid! I'm starting to think every bad driver in an SUV is an MLM member. Anyway, you are on fire today! Still laughing at the turd in frosting. Congratulations on 100 videos, you deserve the best.
I hate it when they say "what they do" is share products. No, no it's not. What they really do, the actual *job* is BEGGING people to join. It's so demeaning...
Not just begging, but harassing waitstaff or retail workers, those who couldn't just walk away from them to join their "business". I hate that these minimum wage workers have no choice but to indulge them even if they are not interested. Lady if you are so rich why are you bothering someone at their workplace?
That beachbody coach at the cheesecake factory is disturbing. I’m a bodybuilder and this behaviour is reminiscent of prepping for a show but way more toxic. and the way she demonizes that stuff is beyond problematic - we don’t even do that, and we recognize the dieting we do is for a specific purpose, for a specific day to showcase the work, and it’s not sustainable year round, and it still doesn’t even require us to have “good vs bad” foods. I’m floored at the toxic diet culture, the way they’re not certified to talk on any of this, and are coaching this stuff out.
I have to eat that way because of coeliac disease, soy intolerance and GERD. I've had to ask if a dish can be changed to accommodate my needs because otherwise theres little I can eat on a meal out. HOWEVER. it sucks. Its embarrassing, it's always a risk that they'll say they do it but dont, its stressful and its BORING. but I have to because of medical conditions. The idea people would CHOOSE this hellscape is mind boggling. The effect on my mental health and my relationship with food is huge, my ED kicked off hard when I was diagnosed with GERD and had to go on the "bland" diet....its exhausting. It's all you think about. I wish stuff like this was illegal
Food should not be correlated with moral value. "I did good today": e.g. I did not eat "bad" food. You are not a morally compromised person if you eat chocolate cake! Makes me so mad...
"You.. need me to need this" That about sums it up!
Lovely Hannah, congratulations on your 100th video in the series and your continued and well-deserved success. We spend so much time focusing on how awful people can be and it makes me happy to see someone genuine and kind doing so well for themselves. Long may it continue. 🎉
The whole thing sounds incredibly stressful. Constantly thinking about social media posts, live streams, recruiting, selling, scrambling to make deadlines and quotas. I can’t imagine you can be as mentally present with your children as they’re claiming 😞 Seems like all your time would be spend obsessing over your “business”
Exactly. Your body may be in the same room as your child but your attention is not. And children know that. She should have used the car ride to school engaging her child to have a good day and do her best. Instead, the girl probably went to school extra-stressed because she could hear the strain in her mother’s voice but didn’t understand it. And was she still in the car when her mother dropped the “F” bomb? Nice.
For the “lead executive director” income you broke down, that’s even before taxes and not counting what she spent on product. So even near the top of the company you’re making well below minimum wage
"I provide great customer service to my customers"...
I'm sure she takes orders, answers questions, and packages up their products while she's driving as well.
Of all The things we can complain of I don’t think this is one of them. I’m sure you do lots behind the wheel As well. That’s not the issue here. MLM’s are
Scams.
“You are donating your time…” That’s such a great point. You often hear in these videos to stop trading time for money. Instead I guess they don’t want you to trade your valuable time for money. They just want your time for free!
That is exactly what they are doing!! They are all working for free simply because they think if they do that, all of a sudden they are rich?? WTF? At some point, I think well, stupid you let us know how that worked out for you!
🥳👏🏼 congrats! Also, that color red (at least that's what it looks like on camera) is very flattering on you 😊
Congratulations! Time flies when you're discrediting huns and slinging facts/ sources! 🖤
Re the Beachbody hun: I agree with your attitude about eating, Hannah! One of the reasons to add to your excellent list is that it’s often self-defeating. She’s worried about gluten in mashed potatoes (?), so swapped it out for sweet potato fries. She just seemed to gloss over that - I thought, those fries probably have 600-700 calories! (Sweet potatoes are often twice-fried.) So to check, I looked it up on CF’s published nutrition info. Turns out the mashed potatoes she ditched have 450 calories, and the sweet potato fries clock in at 1010 calories!
She should have just eaten a bite of her kids’ cheesecake. Or perhaps looked at the nutrition info on her phone before ordering, because often what we “feel” is healthier is anything but. So yeah, don’t take nutrition/diet/“wellness” advice from this or any other unaccredited MLM volunteer.
Loved the quick bit about Beautycounter - yikes! Would love a deep dive about them. Love all your videos!
Just a nitpick: she was worried about dairy in the mashed potatoes, not gluten. But your point about sweet potato fries being super-high in calories is spot-on.
Being lactose sensitive myself, I have had low points of eating an almost whole block of cheese and regretting it later. But if someone does not have any sensitivities, I honestly think there's so many more ways to lose weight in a healthy way.
Great video, as always ❤️❤️❤️
I love that you put the time stamps for the clips in this video because so often I realize that I couldn't even pay attention to what the Huns were saying over three or four minutes and need to rewind
Same. I sometimes glaze over 😂. The Huns get so boring
The thrive woman went from low energy grouch to high energy grouch. 🥴 Also, of course we'll never see her without a patch and of course she's drinking shakes daily. She very likely has a shit ton of pv inventory that needs to be used. 🙄
Hannah using the turd analogy…☠️☠️☠️
Also, congrats ma’am!! I have enjoyed every single video so far, and I’m looking forward to many more!! Much love to you and your precious kitties!! ❤❤
I love what you said about the MLM vs "influencer" model. They are not paying you to promote their products, you are DONATING your time to promote their products. That one statement sums it all up.
OMG yes! It bothers me so much when these reps talk to the camera while driving. If they mainly looked at the road then it wouldn't be so bad but many of them look mostly at the phone! Drives me insane.
I’m starting to believe they think all expenses paid means “all expenses paid by me” 😂
🤣
“He’s been using our BC sunscreen for years” and he’s had melanoma, HOW IS THAT NOT A RED FLAG?!?
I take away from that: our sunscreen does not help prevent sun damage and melanoma.
That’s probably an artificial concern and I’m probably just a hater. (if I were to ask-a-hun)
I have eczema and I still use the same products coz my skin is just the way it is....when I was an infant my mom had to stop feeding me two weeks from birth because she had eczema on her breast ..but I had already contracted but nobody's fault....
But I guess a HUN would have found a way to guilt trip her...THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO BOUNDS...
This is exactly what I thought, your crappy Mlm sunscreen already contributed to that gentleman’s melanoma, for god sake’s you have to be some kind of monster to try to convince some poor elderly guy to ignore his Doctor so you can make a couple bucks off sunscreen, I would be begging this poor guy to forgive me for selling a crappy product that didn’t work.
Happy 100th!
I think Monat VIP program is still offering no flex-ship commitment (so no actual requirement past the 1 order) - this was March Customer Appreciation Month - that they KEEP extending because they’re desperate. It doesn’t make the post any less deceptive or misleading, but it does highlight how badly they’re doing.
If you ever catch me thanking my job for THE SUN- help me.
we should’ve drank every time the one lady said “stop sleeping on it”
My warmest congratulations on your success, Hannah!! I found your channel just a little while ago, when you had about 33K subscribers. You are virtually at 40K!!! I never had any experience with MLMs, but your person, your kindness, your intelligence, and your honesty drew me in-not to mention the fascinating psychological dynamics that go on in this world. I thank you for all your work and dedication. Sometimes I get so sad: I hear people left their master’s degree or their real job with benefits for this, wow!! And I always figured selling products is just a loophole for the company to continue to operate as a pyramid scheme-exactly as you pointed out in this video. Thank you for your wonderful commentary. I sincerely hope you can help open many people’s eyes to the manipulative and deceptive practices that go on and that somehow “make sense” to those who fall prey to them. The system seems to be designed to prey on vulnerabilities that are very common and, many times, simply part of the human condition. You are very precious. Also, I cannot get enough of Cooper and Zeke. You have the best helpers in the entire world. 🥰♥️
Can you imagine if these woman threw this passion into themselves and their own business … gawd! The sky would be the limit!
I'm so glad I found you super early and I get to experience your channel grow and your message reaching other people! I've never really had any direct interactions with MLMs (they're not thaaat common in my country), but the way you deliver your content is just too good not to watch! Congrats on your 100th anti MLM video! We'll be here ready to watch the 200th, I'm sure! Really really proud of you and your work!
The sunshine girlie cracks me up because there's also a teacher shortage and teachers also don't have to work during the summer. If you have a choice between an MLM and a teaching career be a teacher. Guaranteed pay, optional work during the summer and BENEFITS like retirement plans and paid leave.
Urghghgg my summer break ends this week thooooo 😭😭😭 I just want to be gardening and crafting and listening to Hannah all day, year round, where’s THAT mlm? 😂
Congrats on your 100th video! You're my favourite anti-mlm content creator. I love your approach, always reminding to not hate the people but the company. And with you breaking down the different types of predatory means, I was able to clearly list it out to my friends who was considering to join an MLM. My favourite series is the horror stories, can't get enough of them, I binge all of it in a few days. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Hope you reach more 100th videos!
You are a “truther” in the MLM universe! I love it, much respect keep pushing forward and keep spreading the truth.
I've been feeling sick today but this brightened my night! I feel like I've been following you for so long and 100 videos still feels so huge.
Also, Boss Lee never fails to deliver!
Omg the first woman is SO angry. I am scared of her . I just might have to join out of pure fear 😂😂😂
Barely 2 minutes in and you've got me crying from laughter omg
You're about to break 40k here, how fitting for your 100th! Congrats, of course! Stay awesome, stay well
Driving kids to school is a great time to have a good conversation!! I miss the car chats when my kids were little !😢
Happy 100th video!!! Huge shout out to Zeke and Cooper for all their support, as well!!!
The aggressiveness is it for me, the whole "how could you sleep on this freaking opportunity, it leaves me speechless," vibe.
Congratulations on 100 Anti MLM content! The first woman gets me good. I love going into small businesses and seeing unique product. I love supporting people like that. I like looking at the stuff I want to buy, maybe even gifts for people. If I need shampoo or make up go to a regular supermarket or drugstore for that. They are just one more step to me buying online like Amazon. I get that directly to my door and DON'T need to talk to anyone, or feel like I have to justify my purchase
Dear Instagram, Facebook, Meta, Lizard Man: Can we get an automatic car mode (like on Spotify)but for Instagram? She is endangering people and a CHILD because she "so freaking passionate about it" doing a story. Also that cough is killing me.
honestly such a good idea, even just a simple- don’t instagram and drive screen if the phone detected car motion, and have a check for “im not driving”
Congratulations on 100 videos!! The only thing I can say *barely* in “defense” of the girl going to get induced is that depending on how far progressed you are, and how your providers decide to proceed in an induction, sometimes they can take 24-48 hours or longer. I got lucky when I was induced, it only took 3 hours. So she was probably laying there bored and figured she’d “get some things done”. HOWEVER I still 100% agree a REAL job wouldn’t be requiring you to get things done while you’re being induced and when she gets home from the hospital she’ll have to post just as much or more to make up for lost time and that’s time she’ll be losing with her newborn.
I will not be surprised if she used her newborn to shill her crap. She will go live while breastfeeding, saying how lucky she is to be able to make money while feeding her baby.
Interesting....my 9-5 that's so supposedly so horrible has never had to go on IG to convince me or try to defend an "opportunity" at the crack of dawn. It's the anger & defensiveness for me. I can't imagine this energy appealing to anyone. Love your videos by the way....you have such calm relaxing energy :)
Why do they insist on live streaming and driving? Do they really think their supplements protect them from the laws of physics?!
Starting with an emotional thank you and saying how grateful you are implies you’ve watched a few to many hun videos😂 Seriously though, congrats for everything you continue to do and you genuinely do deserve success!
Congrats Hannah on your 100 anti-mlm video! 🎉 Way to go!!! 😊
I have tried 3 MLMs and I was always shamed by my upline for not doing well. Thank you for explaining why I couldn't do well. It's the business model; it's not me. ❤
The non-profit I work for just sent me on my first “business trip” - it’s almost exactly what these girls make them out to be. Best part, they paid me, not the other way around 😁
not me with covid binge watching these till I get to the 100th and then celebrating like it happened yesterday! HAPPY 100 WOO!! Thanks so much for the company today.
“You can cover a turd in frosting but when you bite into it… it’s still a turd” I screamed! 😂😂 you kill me Hannah.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💩🧁
