Accidentally Joining a Pyramid Scheme

It is though. A pyramid scheme doesn't sell you stuff, it's illegal to set up one. MLM is legal because you have an actual product that you sell. Doesn't mean it's any better or more ethical though, they're still scams. Legal scams, though.

[@michaelrodgers1545]

It really is! A very very good key point he did bring up in his video is “recruitment bonuses”. It’s actually one of the key things the FTC looks for in differentiating between a legit business and a pyramid scheme. That as well as high start up costs, lengthy confusing contracts, a requirement to purchase and hold an inventory, etc. If any of you are weary about any network marketing opportunity you really need to look at two things. Who you are getting involved with and credible sources. I.E. are those people who they say they are, can they help you and are they willing to. And secondly if the FTC and the better business bureau has a bad track record with them stay away. Those two things can be taken into account with any business venture. Definitely loved the video!

Man as someone who briefly got sucked into a pyramid scheme, this hits home hard. I even said it was a pyramid scheme at the first meetup (they drew a pyramid just like in this sketch) and still got talked into it. Looking back I have no idea how I could've been so dumb.

[@Fishbro]

Cause it's not a pyramid scheme but a direct sales company. Same with corporate ladder being a pyramid it's all hierarchy. The pyramid scheme begins when they convince you to do your own product. No good drug dealer does their own product, let alone any business owner. MLM is a direct sales operation prone to pyramid scheming

[@johnpepito6514]

My best friend one time got into MLM. He met this lady at a target who said he would be like a tech guy at their company (he’s a comp-sci major). So he goes to the first interview at Panera, and the lady hands him a book to read and one of the diagrams was literally in the shape of a pyramid. 3 more interviews ensued and eventually he went to a group meeting at this fancy hotel (there were at least 70 people at that meeting). He’s a smart guy and he knew what he was getting into from the start and I asked, “yo why do you keep going?”. He told me that the lady would always pay for his food and seltzer, and at that group meeting he stole a tissue box. So I guess that’s the only upside to MLM😂😂 Update: This is 2 years later... he went to a few more, they gave him panera bread gift cards. As soon as they did that he quit lmaoo. He's got a good $80 worth in gift cards, honestly it's worth it just for that

It was all cool until the boss guy who was speaking to us all said "I drive a La Ferrari (nearly a million dollar super car) and life is so good blah blah and it's in the parking lot"...so I said tell me exactly where it is parked! He's like "haha young man, be patient you'll have yours in a few months." I kept hesitating and wanted to know where he exactly parked his so called Ferrari so I could legit believe he really is that rich. They asked security to kick me out of property. I wasn't even allowed to go in the parking lot of the building and ALL the client's cars were parked outside on the street. As I was escorted out, I shouted y'all being scammed! Nearly half the people in the room walked out with me. I did something good that day. Pieces of shits that take advantage of simple people.

I absolutely love the cult-stuff. I had a friend who was in ACN (MLM) and tried to recruit me. I politely declined, but he continued to pester me for weeks. I finally agreed to join a meeting on the condition that I was free to leave once the meeting finished, and never hear anything about it again. He accepted, as he was convinced that the meeting would open my eyes, convert and sign up. It interesting to say the least. The (regional) leader was a middle aged man, the rest were young, naive men that genuinly thought they got the recipe to get rich without too much of an effort. Everyone wanted the same, looked the same and talked the same way. The leader was full of obvious BS, but they didn't question him. They just sat there awstruck by his apparent success and by the promise that they too could soon afford all the extravagant stuff he was bragging about having, and then finally be successfull and happy. 'Cult' is by far the best word I have to describe it.

[@syncopated_scenes3217]

This is even funnier when you've actually been in a pyramid scheme. . . *cough* *cough* ItWorks *cough*

[@xp5256]

once got into a pyramid scheme. During the "interview", the lady was lecturing me this is not a pyramid scheme. At that time I didn't even know what's a pyramid scheme. Whole thing is scary now coming to think about it.

[@HeatherAlicia9109]

Also- when I moved to a new town I met this girl at my work. She basically acted like she was going to be my friend since me and my roommate didn’t know many people. We invited her over and she came equipped with a laptop and a whole fucking spiel for her pyramid scheme. 😭😭😂

8:30 i LOST IT WHEN HE STARTED CHANTING TOO 😭

[@brucewayne2955]

What was that initial conversation? 😂💀 5:35 Thought I accidentally rewinded. "All I do is enhance people's lives".

[@outsyder807]

This was one of my favorite videos by you. Keep up the fantastic work Stevie!

[@affansiddhiqui3739]

Ok, so the "scamway" was reference to "amway"

[@Papayalexius]

1 minute of silence for all those friendships. RIP.

9:25 that was a well placed herbalife pun lmao

[@resetpassword]

So accurate as well with how they don't actually describe what they do and try to encourage you to go to a 'meeting' and then you realize the whole thing is bs.

[@caesarschutz1430]

It is a funny video and it is pointing it out correctly: It IS a pyrimid sceme NOT because of the shape of a pyramid (stupid to think it is that simple), BUT because of only making money on the signup fees instead of making money on the sale of relevant products. That is why network marketing is legal and pyramid scemes are not... (I am not in network marketing, but studied that in college)

[@romanpapec6735]

So bassicly they found a way to work around it, got you.

[@balldontsleep3452]

Sounds like Market America. Was in job orientation training when the trainer drew a triangle and said what does this business model look like. Got pissed and fired me when i said well it looks like a pretty basic pyramid scheme

[@VortexMagus]

multi-level marketing is pretty much identical to a pyramid scheme. Instead of selling signup fees they just price up their products and add commission-based kickbacks to everyone up the ladder. It's just an accounting trick to get around FBI definitions of a pyramid scheme while still maintaining the same structure. The same people get the same amount of money as a pyramid scheme. It's just how the money written on the paper is a little bit different.

[@caesarschutz1430]

@@VortexMagus That sounds correct, but it is not: If more then 50% of sales are made off the recruits themselves, it gets in the direction of becoming a pyramid sceme. And that's illegal. Even if they are selling real products it is illegal. But if it is the opposite, e.g. if 9 of 10 customers are not inside the comlany and are only customers, it is a legit business.

[@aguyfromnothere]

Almost all businesses and organization have pyramid hierarchy. So yes that’s not relevant to a business model.

[@linuxsurfer2002]

My college roommate called me out of the blue about a year after he graduated and he had gotten into one of these things, I think it was "Quikstar". Anyway he kept asking me to come to a meeting about an hour away, but he never would tell me what it was about, so I never went. Another time, one of my wife's college friends wanted to "grab coffee" to talk about retiring early. I immediately knew what was up and told her we should not go, but she wanted to "help him out", so we went, saying we would not buy anything or sign up for anything, but he could "practice" on us - what a waste of both of our time.

[@spencerhillyard8302]

These videos are amazing, you should have so much more subs

[@HellaBella]

This is the best pyramid scheme video ever. Actually depicts how they sucker people into their bullshit. You are going to be YT famous soon!

[@Mars-kd1ew]

I just found this channel and I love the content. Such good quality videos and fun concepts!

[@alexdavis3641]

Are we just not going to ask the question of, who in Herbaliving HELL is holding up Christian's candle at 9:02?!?!

[@wadood8700]

His massive shlong

[@FirstnameLastname-kx6fi]

One of my friends got lured into the pyramid scheme exactly the same way, even the dialogues were same🤣🤣.
