"Have you even tried the products?" If I had a dollar for for every time you've said "it's not about the products; it's about the business structure" I would make more money than 99% of MLMers.

[@pokemonfanthings4444]

I’d say MLMs are actively anti-women. While men and non-binary people also fall victim to them, it’s clear that most of the large and problematic ones target women specifically. Being pro-mom is being anti-women, and it’s sad that many women either don’t realize this or don’t care.

“It’s not a pyramid scheme because the products work” is the worst argument I’ve ever heard lol

[@emma2884]

I literally thought you were gonna continue the sentence with "it's a pyramid scheme because of the business structure" because that would actually be correct lol

[@monroerobbins7551]

Exactly, like, a pyramid scheme can have good products, but the products in and of themselves aren’t always the problem; it’s the monetization structure that’s the BIG issue. Not the only one, but it’s the big one.

Re: 12:08, of course she doesn’t know the company’s compensation plan, she’s not getting compensated 😂

[@jenniferdeer9528]

My first thought when Hannah was reading that comment was that seller isn't getting commissions from her downline because she doesn't have a downline to get commissions from. Which, if that is the case, and she has been with the company for two YEARS, she may want to do some serious reevaluation about how she is spending her time and money. But of course, that's where the sunk cost fallacy comes in to play. Damn do these MLMs and their tactics aggravate me!

[@HannahAlonzo]

Such a good point 🤣

[@Mama_Bear524]

I think that’s exactly what they’re thinking 😂

[@dialecticsjunkie7653]

It is not for other people, it’s for themselves - it’s not really possible to be part of an MLM (unless you’re *genuinely* extremely dumb) without a little bit of cognitive dissonance in your mind. Most people are actually aware of it. They have to find coping mechanisms to deal with it. Overreacting to criticism is more about hyping themselves up and convincing themselves to ignore their own doubts.

[@karennaylor7138]

@@dialecticsjunkie7653 that’s a really good point. I also think thst they are angry because finding people to join amd be their downline was hard enough already, but now that there are so many anti MLM channels, people are getting a heads-up on how they work and how to avoid them; this must really scare MLMers!

[@ericksalasjr.8552]

Hey Hannah! So I discovered your page a watched a few of your videos and omg it is eye opening. I’m currently a MP in Monat and hit the rank of MMB but I often times had these little red flags or gut feelings about the business. I’ve been part of the business for 6months and I’m at the state of do it continue or do I pursue something else. This is my second MLM business, my first was Amway when I was 22-26 (i didn’t make a cent there). But with Monat I did hit bonuses, etc. however after discovering your page my eyes have opened up and now Im still in defense with what to do. Hope no one bashes me for writing this because I love what you are doing and messages you put out. It has given me the education I needed and things that I didn’t know either such as how much an average person in Monat makes. Continue doing what you are doing! I have some decisions to make

[@HannahAlonzo]

Oh wow!! Nobody will bash you here, I will make sure of that. I’m so happy to hear that the videos have been eye opening and please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you need more support! ❤️

I have to say, I LOVE how a lot of these comments are "you're wrong, because.... uhhhhh... because I say so!" but are also incredibly vague! Absolutely hilarious that you picked up on that too, Hannah. These folks are just jealous of your cute kitties! (I'm totally joking, I don't assume most folks are jealous, I just feel as though their worldview is being questioned and they are not sure how to process this information.) Thanks for the laughs, Hannah, I REALLY needed them today!

[@HannahAlonzo]

“Because I said so!” 🤣

[@uutdiegodzilla3821]

I am also VERY jealous of your cute kitties! But I would never dare to leave a mean comment. You are level-headed, intelligent and smart, well informed, eloquent, empathic, funny and honest. And you are into maths. You obviously think things through. What should there be about you to be mean to you?

[@yolandaponkers1581]

I noticed two things in this video. 1: Red is your color! 2: Absolutely none of these mean comments are substantive. None of them brought any facts, statistics, or evidence to the discussion. We have cold, hard facts on the anti-MLM side, and you can’t refute them with a few anecdotes and regurgitated grind culture quotes.

[@NikkiRN-CLC]

Yes! I guarantee if someone came with actual facts, Hannah would correct herself.

[@Avrilaris]

It's so weird how so many of them just ignore the fact that you get your facts FROM THEIR OWN COMPANIES COMPENSATION PLANS!!! It confuses me so much?! I guess people believe what they want to believe despite the facts/truth being right in from of their eyes. Sad really.

[@MageZathara]

I did jury service about 8 years ago, one of the cases was a MLM scheme where several victims explained how they were sold a lie and were conned out of thousands.

[@MummaQuan]

Did they end up winning the case against the MLM company? I really hope so

[@MageZathara]

@@MummaQuan sadly not.. We deliberated over the verdict for hours, me and one other person were adamant he was guilty but the others weren't. Eventually the other person gave up and changed their verdict to not guilty and then so did I. The guy basically got off because the judge said it wasnt a case of if he was involved, its if he was involved with the knowledge of being in an mlm and knowingly scamming people. Because he acted like he was all about the products and believed in the company etc he got off on his own ignorance. Despite being one of the top earners/recruiters and bragged about having cruises every year and luxury cars etc. At the end of the case the guys defence barrister even had the cheek to apply for his travel expenses to be covered by the court. The judge dryly said back its not that the defendant was innocent its that there wasn't substantial evidence to prove he knew he was commiting a crime. It felt so frustrating that he got off. The guys family were all smiling and happy and i just thought the bloody injustice..

[@MageZathara]

@@MummaQuan incase you're interested, the products were like a mindfulness package, a wrist band that was supposed to decrease anxiety and a couple of positive speaking cds. That base package was about £40 (we're in the uk) the packages went up to hundreds. The defendant was adamant that the products were worth the price.. 😐

[@Aalisrocklist]

Another difference between corporate jobs and MLM, is that if you get fired, depending on what happened ofc, you'll get a final compensation (e.g., Severance Package). In MLMs you are literally abandoned.

[@crystalfarmer4074]

Yep! Unfortunately Angelique found that out. She spoke out against the negative and mean girl attitudes of her mlm and was fired. Meanwhile you have other reps from the same company like Mandy Sue, and Angela Sumner spreading hate, lies, and being publicly racist and they don't even get a slap on the wrist. Something has to change, somehow these companies need to be held liable for the stuff they allow and seemingly condone. Seeing as how they don't react at all when racism and the like is reported, but when someone shares truths and has receipts to prove it they fire them. Somebody please make it make sense!

[@Mama_Bear524]

Ya not only abandoned but have the entire company turn against you and trash you.

[@karengreenstein688]

Hi Hannah -- I am literally watching this video right now but paused it so I could comment. I am not in the "MLM world." I am interested in anti-MLM content to the extent that I research cults, brainwashing and other types of coercive scenarios that innocent people can unwittingly fall into. Your videos are extremely educational. I see MLM's as "Corporate Cults," and believe that you (and Kiki, and other anti-MLM'ers) are doing very important work. However, I also wanted to thank you for helping folks find a better way to deal with negative comments (a problem that's obviously internet-wide). Often, online nastygrams are the product of narcissistic thinking. The best way to shut down a narcissist -- as you point out -- is with kindness. They are looking for a fight, and by diffusing it, they have no "fuel" to attack with. Anyhow, I just wanted you to know that you're not only helping ex-MLM'ers. You are providing tons of useful advice for those trying to navigate an increasingly hostile online world. Keep up the good work! Peace and love :)

[@HannahAlonzo]

Wow thank you so much!! This means a lot to me, thank you.

[@thepartysjustbegun5557]

Couldn't have said it better myself 👍 I'm also here to view the narcissists doing what they do best - scamming, and Hannah is excellent in dealing with them 🥰

[@petrichorbones]

i dont think most of these people are narcissists and also a lot of people with NPD are normal human beings that do their best to care about the people in their life in their own way. i think it would be better to say they are brainwashed and are experiencing the cognitive dissonance and confusion that comes with being presented with facts that contradict a firmly held belief. its also completely impossible to diagnose someone based off a rude youtube comment :/ i agree with everything else you said there i just have been educated a tiny bit on NPD and feel a moral obligation to mention it when applicable. Hannah is doing a great job she is prob the kindest most compassionate anti-mlmer i watch 💖 i think her approach is the best

[@Mama_Bear524]

You said everything I wanted to.

[@MaggieMumblesThings]

It's so funny to me that people still bring up Kiki's channel. Yes she was one of the first anti-MLM commentators, and she was probably the largest. But she hasn't made a video about MLMs for years. Why are these white knights trying to defend her as "queen of anti-MLM" when she clearly doesn't want the title anymore. lol. Nothing against her change in niche. It's okay for creators to change topics.

[@HannahAlonzo]

Agreed! I love her personality and that she’s focusing more on vlogging! But it’s almost like “Kiki Chanel did it first therefore no one else can” 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 strange logic

Those interactions are actually quite pleasant. But when people comment with guns-a-blazing, seething anger, I can only imagine what they must be like in person. How can some people get triggered so easily? If I watch a video or read a comment that gets me angry, I always take a moment (and a deep breath!) to remember that there's a real person on the other side.

I'll be sending you my story eventually to read on your channel. For now, I just wanted to say you're doing a good thing, trying to educate people, I never noticed the pauses in your videos and thought you always sounded great.

I was worried to start watching this video. I don’t know you but you come across as such a warm and caring person I thought I‘d get really angry listening to people say mean things about you. I am so glad you have such a healthy outlook on these comments. I watch pretty much all of your content, at least partly some of the longer videos I haven’t finished, so I’d watch these again if you posted more but I would probably stop if I started feeling angry or overly defensive. I also wanted to say that even though I also watch other anti-MLM creators (which I found through your channel, that’s right YOU were my gateway to anti-MLM content!😄) your style is my personal favorite. Oh and last thing for my rambling comment - I notice the cuts but I don’t think it takes away from the video. Like I said you are one of my favorite content creators so obviously your editing style hasn’t had that much, if any, influence on it. I can’t imagine I’m so unique and special that I’m the only one that doesn’t mind your editing style.

Here early! Just wanted to say I absolutely love your videos and your whole vibe! You're definitely one of my top favorites in the anti-mlm comminity. Thank you for informing us, and working so hard to create all this content, so many of us have learned so much and appreciate all you do!

[@l.solveig9250]

I personally appreciate your editing very much, to me it's really smooth and coherent. Especially the reading parts; for some reason I get anxious when people read something out loud and stumble and have to repeat themselves etc. So thank you and keep on doing things your own way 🧡

[@Suki7626]

The algorithm just brought your channel to me and I love it! I have my own story of a MLM couple trying to recruit me in a Michael's store with a sketchy story.(omitting alot because of space) I was starting my own business and she said she could teach me and wanted to do a zoom call. At the the time I didn't know much and was looking to learn, after the sketchy zoom call I immediately went and did research in MLM and found what they were peddling thanks to people like you ❣️ subscribed

[@viviantong6396]

Love you and Chelsea and honestly both of you are VERY DIFFERENT in vibe and I enjoy watching each of you for different reasons ^^

[@pineapplepapercrafts]

Right. I'll watch them both talk about the same videos. They always take away totally different things.

[@xorachelk15]

Yes they both provide facts and sources but I watch Chelsea for the sass and Hannah for the compassion and education

[@readit1158]

I love your videos! Especially the explanation on your edits! I always feel embarrassed when I have to make an edit. It's great to hear that I'm not the only one with an issue with speaking and needing to edit!

[@JamesQMurphy]

I'm glad you made this video and I'm glad to see you have the right approach for dealing with the negative comments. I also love how many of them delete their comments and scurry away when you engage thoughtfully.

[@laurensmith7573]

Your responses to these are so level-headed and well thought out. I love how they all just pretend that you never replied because they don't actually have any factual rebuttal.

[@bastetthemummycat]

I found Chelsea’s channel through your channel and I absolutely love her! And I happily watch both of you talk about the exact same subjects and videos. You’re both unique and have equally amazing, but entirely different insights. It’s great!

[@belafalda7594]

You are 100% my favorite anti-MLM content provider. You are so sweet and genuine. It is clear you have true empathy for for everyone. I used to be in mary kay a few years ago (I'll probably send you my story at some point) and your videos have helped me come to terms the guilt I have for being a part of that and even recruiting my sister in the business. One of my favorite things about you however is that you never name call others or belittle people who are in an MLM. You are always level-headed, calm and you make very clear arguments. I love all your videos!! Keep being your amazing sweet self! ❤

[@seacryptid]

I loved this format. It's really interesting to see the feedback from the mlm community and how you respond (beautifully by the way). I imagine there's some comfort in holding the certainty and buzzwords so tightly in their clenched fists but your compassion has to help when their upline is telling them to record personal tragedies for recruiting.

[@IAMCCSuarez]

You are a badass. TELL EM GIRL TELL EMMMMM

[@HannahAlonzo]

My hype woman 👏🏼👏🏼

[@shannonplimmer4981]

What’s this? Women supporting women?? Yasss!! ❤️ you both!!

[@w_b_mplease9715]

These people are in denial, they're currently being ripped off and are too scared to admit it to themselves, that's why your content upsets them.

[@rosadyke6349]

This hits the nail right on the head

[@MaecyMFerguson]

I'm actually so so glad I found your channel!! I've watched a few different creators and you and CC(when I'm feeling spicy) fit me best! I love your kindness with facts without bashing and I love CC's snarkiness and funny one liners ❤

[@dawnf.1703]

Your responses were very kind & well thought out. You continue to impress me as I binge watch your channel. BTW: I just found your channel a couple weeks ago and in that time I have watched your subscriber count go from 19k to over 31k. Amazing & well deserved!!

[@vickischwaegel6122]

I love that recently Deanna Mims has started putting a couple bloopers at the end of her videos. It makes me realize all the work on the back end all of the You Tube commentators go through to put out a finished video. It is not as easy as it looks!

[@Gingerbread_Gorl]

I normally find these kind of videos stressful but this one was very entertaining and satisfying.

[@kkeekins1]

I just feel the need to say a quick thank you for making these videos. I honestly didn’t know that anti-MLM videos existed until KZbin recently suggested one to me. I have two sisters in law that have been involved in MLM’s and they have never sat well with me, even to the point that I’ve felt like they should not be legal. I also hate what they do to the people involved in them, like when they “reach out” and act like your friend only to try to sell you stuff and get you to join their team. One of my sisters actually makes pretty good money with color street but with the time she puts into it I hardly feel it’s worth it. I know this is your job and I think it’s fantastic. Educating people is a wonderful thing!

[@evangelinec.4579]

I hope you read my comment! I stumbled into your channel because I was looking for good informative channels and I must say, your videos are well researched, well thought over and your approach is one of the most compassionate, even to the mean comments you get. I agree with your point with regards to the main difference between working a 9-5 job vs MLM. My take of MLM (I've had a small experience with almost getting recruited by two different MLM businesses here in Singapore) is almost similar to a Ponzi schemes, except their business structure (and actual live products) do work on 'some', not all (like all kinds of products) - and it all boils down to the capital you put in and the amount of effort into selling these products that are honestly, overpriced. And the memberships of getting people to 'sign on' with them is how the top liners gain their commissions. Well - that's my experience and understanding. I know I am wrong somewhere, but what I'm trying to say is that at least the 9-5 jobs and minimum wages actually get you paid. I know some actually believe in their products - hopefully because it actually works for them? Then sure. But making people pay for overpriced sign-ons, honestly most of the time I know it's not worth that price. I'm not saying it's an actual ponzi scheme? But the business structures of these MLM companies just have such similar structures. To haters, this is based on my opinion - and yes I have actually bought the products for the recommended time and I seriously don't think they're worth the price I'm paying for.

[@Beka_Rex]

I would love this to be a regular thing. I need a playlist 😂

[@akatobi2002]

I got a work email that got me thinking about quitting - so I cant even imagine what its like to get these on a regular basis

[@shelbygerlack2808]

They just.. have no basis for anything they sayyyy 😭 also, your thumbnails are perfect. I love the clean look instead of crazy over the top lettering/faces/clickbait!!!!

[@YT-GuestAccount]

You are awesome and I have no doubt regarding the genuine nature of the empathy and intention you are expressing. Your content is so well put and considerate; it was clear to me that these cuts are the sign of your own quality requirement to deliver your output in the best of your abilities - it makes your videos so enjoyable to the extent of binge-watching; I'm forever thankful for any filler word or the like I don't have to endure. Nothing but respect for admitting and putting in all the effort. :)

[@JessicaCondon5]

The fact that people still think this is about the products is so, so frustrating. It's mind boggling. It doesn't matter how good the products are. Also, I don't want to be a jerk, but I cannot ignore the fact that almost every single comment is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. In my opinion it's kind of telling.

[@fc7307]

To be fair most of their products are either bad, ridiculously expensive, or both.

[@stephaniebobek817]

I'm getting better at ignoring spelling and grammar errors

[@courtneysheldon2855]

You have more grace than me! The second I got called pathetic I would have been in tears 😂

[@HannahAlonzo]

Trust me, it’s taken me a long time to not be in tears when I get comments like that 🤣

[@temptationAZZ]

I loved it! Your responses were perfect. I would absolutely love to see more of mean comments videos! Please keep them coming!

[@thefriendzonenpo]

As a baby budding KZbin content creator myself, I see you! (You've also inspired me to pivot some of my contect to be more engaging, so thank you!) The blooper you left in was absolutely adorable and resinated with me as I spend HOURS editing out ums, sneezes, weird faces, outside noise, and just tongue twisty abominations.

[@xorachelk15]

The only thing I don’t like about this video is that I’ll have to wait so long for another one of this kind lol. Very entertaining and as you said with teachable moments. You are so kind to everyone including the ones with the crazy/mean comments

[@HannahAlonzo]

Hahaha well I’ve already collected 3 mean comments today alone so maybe Part 2 isn’t too far away 🤣

[@RabekahRandoms]

I watch all the MLM ladies, you, Chelsea, Isabella, Savannah, JulieJo Ect. I will literally watch every video on the same topic from each of yous because I enjoy hearing the different points of views.

[@HannahAlonzo]

I love that!! 👏🏼

[@ewilliams0325]

Same. I found anti-mlm during the original lock downs and I have binged every video from the creators that I can find. I love all the creators for different reasons but I hate the online keyboard warrior drama and Hannah has perfected the calm, thought out, rational responses that leave little to no room for drama

[@nowyousieme]

your patience and genuine kindness is so, so refreshing. i've said it before, but you are an incredible educator and you are absolutely changing lives with your work. the world needs more people like you.

[@ashleyestes8232]

I watch some of Chelsea’s videos too. She was one of the 1st AMLM channels I found, but the way you present the info with such elegance and education it’s such a joy to watch!

[@juliannemccormack7259]

Love your channel so much! You are my favorite anti mlm KZbinr! I feel that you are as charitable as humanly possible! Keep fighting the good fight! Love you!

[@autumnmoyet2531]

I absolutely love your aesthetic and channel. The anti mlm channel I first ever came across was CC Suarez and found you within in the past 6 months or so. You’re very factual and I love your cats lol. You’re right though. You can’t please everyone. ❤️ congrats on 20K subscribers!

[@julianapaolamedina6386]

I value a lot that you show compassion first. It is something that I'm working on in my personal life and sometimes I find it so hard to put it into practice. Thank you for being clear first with "these comments bother me so much at first" cause for me that shows how human and kind you are and how you work on these comments. Thank you Hannah deeply from my heart, I learned a lot from you on how Not to engage in anger, but instead, take a deep breath, slow down and engage in facts and compassion and kindness. You are amazing.

[@pamelajohnson9853]

Hi Hannah…I recently started watching your vids and let me just say how truly impressed I am with your composure, your eloquence and your style of delivering content. I thankfully have never been roped into an MLM…I’ve hosted some parties, but have a very good handle on my unwillingness to “put myself out there” and am really really good at saying “NO”. I am not a risk taker with regard to my work or finances and thus am arriving at age 60 with no debt, no mortgage on either home, an insanely good marriage and a solid, carefree retirement to look forward to. I feel awful for some of the people in your horror stories who have lost so much. Keep doing the good work! -Pam 😊

[@Briar_]

From a digital marketer's perspective (it's my job!) your consistent thumbnails is perfect for helping people identify your videos amongst all the others. Marketing experts would advise people to do that!

[@_kd_]

It seems like everyone, especially blondes, get accused of "copying" Chelsea's channel. I watch you both and find you VERY different (and I like both!) That aside so many of these are just "you're wrong because I said so" with no backing it up or even checking the resources you provided (from their own company usually)...so bizarre

[@HannahAlonzo]

"Because I said so" is TOTALLY the vibe the comments give off!

[@_kd_]

@@HannahAlonzo the sky is clearly purple. I've been alive 31 years and it's always been purple so...that's the way it is. 🙉🙉🙉🙈 🤪

[@davekaio5934]

God they're going to freak out when they find out Nike isn't the only shoe company

[@cannawhite7485]

The thumbnail, setup and tone of your videos is the thing that first got me here and that I love most. It's such a welcome alternative to all the fast-paced-I-will-give-you-epilleptic-seizures-tik toky content which KZbin is turning to these days. Just actually listening to well curated content (not well curated filters and memes) and your opinion and statements on this content is so relaxing to me, and I genuinely think that this is what first gives people the opportunity (pun intended) to think through all the MLM-stuff by being able to digest the stuff they're listening to.

[@kaylanek1]

I love these videos! Through them, I have learned that I have actually been a customer of like 6, unfortunately. Plus, you are so kind, smart, and beautiful, it adds so much to the videos. You are my favorite KZbinr and I love you and your content! So thank you.

[@aliciamazingg]

enjoyed this video and would love more of these in the future!!

[@Shelbyluhoo]

I love the comments about you not trying the products before you "bash" them, because if they had actually watched your videos they would see you hardly ever comment on the products! like you've said a million times, the products dont matter.

[@mignon.canard]

I really enjoy the way you do your videos, you deliver with compassion and well researched information. I actually am a “consultant” in a mlm (I dare not say the company to avoid any hate), I joined purely because I love the product. When I signed up I told my up-line that I am not in this to build an empire but to buy products at a reduced rate and sell to family and friends who contact me - not the other way around. Needless to say, I am not welcomed in with open arms by other consultants and the push to recruit is huge but I have been ticking away just selling products and have remained ‘active’ for 4 years. I will never seek out people to join as it just isn’t me. I would encourage anyone in an mlm to thoroughly read their disclosure statements, be informed and don’t get sucked in by the hype.

[@teresatong2607]

I'm glad that I found your videos,Hannah. New subscriber here! I watched one video yesterday and was hooked. I'll binge watch all of your previous videos 😁 I think I found your channel because I was curious when I saw a friend being promoted to 'ruby director' for a company called Usana. I didn't know what a ruby director was. I love how positive your replies are even on mean/ negative comments. I love that you back your words with well researched information. Also love how supportive people in this channel/ community are. Wishing you and everyone here a good day 😊

[@d.awdreygore]

You are always so diplomatic, you don't deserve this anger; but I suppose it's just one of the perils of the tube. I think you are doing women a service with your videos. Please keep at it. Sending virtual hugs and good vibes from South Africa.

[@drshelockwho]

Thank you for taking the time to do what you do.

[@LovedLisa]

What an awesome video! And I am so relieved to see that you stumble over your words at times too. I also watch your videos to improve my English and learn new words (not a native speaker) and I sometimes feel very uneducated watching how you phrase things 📚

[@saraann1186]

Honestly the responses you give are amazing and you are truly a woman of class! I highly respect you and truly bring such a light not only in the anti-mlm community but overall! Keep shining bright! All my love 💜

[@amandarahfaldt8022]

"readflag" 😂

[@mothwings8795]

Re: cuts - in all fairness, you do a really good job with your cuts. As a person who tends to listen while doing something else, I pay more attention to cuts from an audio standpoint rather than visual, and your end production is very smooth, very easy to listen to. So booooo, boo to that person.

[@HannahAlonzo]

Oh wow thank you!

[@Aalisrocklist]

I second this comment 100%

[@petrichorbones]

agree! i hardly notice them

[@ProfessorChaosKitty]

I love that in your replies you are both kind and logical. Please do more of these. Also, about your thumbnails - every time I see one pop up in my recommendations I feel happy because not only do I think you are great, but we get Cooper and Zeke as well 😻😽
