MLM TOP FAILS #63 | This might be the least compelling before-and-after photo ever

[@frances9560]

it’s absolutely insane to me that this woman literally said “inflation is crazy right now so no one should spend more than they have to so you should buy this $80 shampoo” like girl….. what

[@Brittainy89]

Exactly what I picked up on - like how can you say those two things in the same sentence? I am fortunate and COULD afford it and it’s ridiculous even to me to spend that much on shampoo! So if the people that can afford it don’t even want to, who is this for?!? Lol

[@LisaHarvey16]

She is delusional.

[@HayleighPaige]

Seriously!! I’m a CPA, I make decent money, and I would NEVER spend more than $25 on shampoo and conditioner combined. And the only reason I spend that much is because I use the shampoo and conditioner bars to cut down on plastic packaging. That being said, it still feels like a luxury to me - I would never look down on someone for buying Suave because that was always my go to before. Good shampoo and wayyyyy cheaper!

The funniest thing to me about the 'Pyramid schemes are illegal!'/'Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen' thing is that if you think about it, the fact that it's illegal means it absolutely does happen. If it didn't happen, there'd be no point in making it illegal.

I mean generally but not every law is passed because some new crime is thought up. A good example are trans bathroom laws. There wasn't some huge spike in trans people going rouge in bathrooms, people just didn't want to have to pee in the same room as a minority.

[@debymello4756]

@@glitterberserker1029 in this case I think it's more a mix-and-match of stuff that happens and agendas. With trans people and bathrooms, bathroom inapropriacy happens and trans people exist, so joining both is a way of acting like they're treating the first when really is to convince themselves that their path towards making trans person illegal is some sort of "frog in boiling pot" thing

[@SpiralxShock]

@@glitterberserker1029 Well it doesn’t have to be a crime. Your example is still a really good one of the general point. Sadsacks who won’t mind their own business are trying to pass those stupid laws because trans people using the bathroom that aligns with their chosen gender identity is a real thing that happens in life.

I have had a disorder called Trichotillomania since I was 9. It means I pull out my hair, yes-literally. It’s a HUGE source of shame and embarrassment, it has been my whole life. I am now 34. I’ve been a part of countless support groups for many reasons. What grinds my gears is monat reps coming into our groups and using our heartbreak for profit. They pitch their product saying it helps hair growth, encourages it to grow faster etc etc. It’s so full of crap. If anyone knows a thing or two about hair growth, it’s us. These people are relentless.

9:37 as far as I know, there is no serum that helps you grow hair LENGTH. Hair serums typically promote maintaining hair health and possibly introducing NEW growth, right? Another note: I appreciate when an anti MLM creator points out that a hun is not enjoying themselves/ wasting their own time. Your 👏🏽 time 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 valuable!

[@loosilu]

There's nothing you can apply to hair (which is dead) that would make it longer. You would have to be applying it to the scalp, which I assume is not how it is used.

[@Brittainy89]

As far as I know, you are absolutely right! I feel like the things that have helped my hair the most have been internal (like eating better and silica supplements). Also helps nails too. Also my hair got thinner after my first baby and is now thicker than it has been in years after my second. I think the only proven ingredient for DENSITY is rogaine.

[@maureenp2248]

If someone had been having a lot of hair breakage and a product makes hair stronger/less likely to break, then that could help it grow longer. That's the only thing i can think of.

I've had a few companies come by my house trying to sell their services (pest control, contractor, etc) and they seem to take pride in the fact they don't advertise and get all their sales from "word-of-mouth" or door-to-door sales. After seeing so many of your videos and thinking about it in hindsight, not advertising online is a big red flag, or at the very least shows the company has an inability to understand current market trends and will probably fail soon. It's interesting to also note so many of their 'sales reps' look like high schoolers and often work in pairs. I also remember one particular pest rep who would not take no for an answer and I ended up just closing the door on him when he wouldn't stop. all this to say these sales schemes don't have to be just MLMs but they are just as scammy. ick! thanks for all your fantastic vids!

Those companies love to hire young people who don't know how a normal job works.

My favorite part of these videos is watching Hannah react to the videos. It's like a very subtle "how can they be serious" but Hannah is also very respectful!! ❤

Story 1: I heard 'the wind was taken out of her SALES'. You're welcome

[@shawnconway6009]

They give you 'free gifts' the way people give you 'free lunches' to give you a sales pitch.

[@yolandaponkers1581]

Not the major problem with MLMs, but being a customer is SUPER inconvenient. Back in college, I tried to support my friend’s makeup MLM, so I got some stuff, and not only was it about twice what I would’ve paid at a regular store, but it took three weeks to arrive. These reps get mad and wonder why people go to grocery stores and drug stores instead of buying from them, but if I can get something immediately and spend a fraction of what you’re charging for a three-week turnaround, the choice is obvious. 🤷‍♀️

[@dommino22]

I was wondering when Healy would come up. Just saw someone recently testing it out - I made sure to not ask anything about it as I was suspecting this person was just part of another MLM. I did a bit of deep dive and yes it has been proven to be completely bogus.

[@Michelala]

Shoppers drug mart has loyalty points that are actually pretty good. They can be used at grocery stores and gas stations. I have paid for my Christmas dinners using PC points for the past decade.

[@aboutface102]

The first one perfectly puts the desperation MLMs cause on full display. Super cringey!

[@Amayzun1]

I believe that Optavia questionnaire is given to customers to use as ammo against the person, so if they decide to say no, the rep can refer back to the answers the person gave, like "you said you want to feel healthier..." or "what about your diabetes??"

[@gracerankin17]

I just found your videos recently and I’m LOVING them! I work from home most days, and don’t have to accept very many calls (maybe 5-10 daily), so I’ve been binge watching in the background as I work- I just can’t get enough! I love your delivery, humor, personality, and most of all, your genuine compassion and level of humanity for those who fall into the scam that is any MLM company. Love the channel, love the influencer/MLM series, and again, love the compassion you extend to those you’re constructively criticizing in your videos. I can’t wait to keep watching your channel grow, and getting in on these fascinating (but terrifying!) conversations in the comments as well. Shared your channel with my hubby, mom, and sister, too- we’re all loving it!🤣 Great stuff, Hannah!🫶🏻

[@mariaescobar1359]

It's crazy to think that the Hannah that recorded this video still hadn't met her beautiful baby girl! Well, Hannah from the past, let me tell you you have the most beautiful baby ever! Congrats mama!!❤

[@anainesgonzalez8868]

She really has ❤

[@Girlhead]

She was ready for that baby.. lol I am glad I have a Hannah video every week. I'm looking forward to her return.

[@HeatherBrown-gw7tn]

Happy Mother's Day

[@lz5517]

You're a former MLMer, aren't you?

[@KaraPeterson2]

To answer the woman in question, why do MLMs leave a bad taste in the mouth? Personally, every time I think of any interaction I've had with any MLM rep, all I can think of is pushy, pushy, pushy. Not taking no for answer. People that I used to consider friends spam messaging me along with endless rebuttals. Being afraid to get any messages from a friend anymore because you know what it's going to be. The unraveling of what used to be solid relationships into fear, dread, and avoidance. Even if I knew 100% I'd be successful if I tried it (which of course is silly), I'd never be willing to destroy my personal relationships and sow distrust among those that love me.

[@KipperHutch1]

Never heard of Heely, but when you were explaining what their ‘device’ is supposed to do, it’s like I was with you. I was laughing out loud and saying “girl, stop it”. 🤣

[@hittsrus5185]

Support and love, thank you for shining light even when it's hard.

[@AJStarhiker]

Wow. Got a beachboss ad on the video. Sounded like an offshoot or imitation beach body mlm.

[@Nylak-Otter]

BeachBoss sounds like a training class offered to teach you how to be an obnoxiously overbearing lifeguard at a public beach for guys who didn't pass the physical for the coast guard. Like mall cops of the sea.

[@Justkelseyagain]

Thank you for making such awesome, quality content, even for being pre recorded. Hope you and babe are well ❤

[@FawnieFox]

Almost all the perks for being in the Monat VIP program are the same as the regular benefits of shopping at Sephora.

[@LisaHarvey16]

You got that right.

[@FawnieFox]

@@LisaHarvey16 and Sephora makes returns super easy. lol

[@stephaniebergman1584]

Hyped for a Healy deep-dive 🤞

[@TheWordN3rd]

Hi Hannah, long time subscriber (and former MLM mom kid lol) here. I've been rewarching a bunch of older videos and I thought you'd get a kick out of the reason I'm rewarching: I run a D&D game that has a fake religion I'm structuring like an MLM and I needed a refresher on some of the language 😅 Anyways, I'm primarily a lurker, but I wanted you to know I love your stuff and keep up the good work ❤

[@kerraptregolls4929]

Many years ago - my brother and sister in law fell out with my sister and brother in law over a pyramid scheme and did not speak for a long time!!

[@hannahgalbreth6822]

Pharmacist here, don’t cold turkey your meds for Optavia. Cholesterol and blood pressure can both be genetic. Also using the “cold turkey” method can cause so many issues…

[@Therealsitacha]

These uploads have been the only thing to make me excited for mondays!

[@CatsOverBrats]

I visited my foot therapist yesterday and noticed her oil defuser was actually from DoTerra. She has nothing else from that brand anywhere and she doesn't mention it with a word. Some oil placed in the bathroom is from a cheaper brand from a store so I think someone gave her that defuser and she has no idea about the company it comes from. So it's still safe with no pitches or anything going on. I doubt she would have time for it anyway since she also has a cleaning business on the side with several people working for her. Our commune just reached out to offer her more work since one of the other cleaning businesses went out of business and they now need a new company to clean for the elderly people around the city so she's about to hire even more people. She's a busy bee.

[@liftpanic]

Absolute best explanation of cognitive dissonance!!

[@noreenelizabeth6617]

I get free gifts from Ulta and Sephora. Plus they give you an option sometimes.

[@meowsha]

Such a relief to hear your lovely voice! 😊 Hope you and bub are doing well ❤

[@JLCME]

The leap in my ❤ when I see a new Hannah video pop up...😊

[@lmsmith015]

I was feeling a little blue, and then I remembered it's Monday, a.k.a. Hannah Day :)

[@a-go-go19]

I bet the reason that survey is *so* extensive is because of all of those warnings that come with Optavia (ex: don't consume if pregant, don't consume if breast feeding, don't consume if you have high blood pressure -all sorts of stuff)

[@Ikine557]

Have you seen the trouble Olaplex has been having? I don't remember the exact situation, but I remember something about a lawsuit over hair damage or something like that. Sam Dee has a really good video on it.

[@sunnyandthechlo]

The first lady was wasting so much water I’m gonna die.

[@jolenejoleeene]

I have a kid. She would laugh me out of motherhood if I bought from an MLM.

[@emory5533]

The first vid I'm like GIRL STOP WASTING WATER

[@Big_Tex]

I wonder how much I spend on “shampoo and conditioner”? What’s the cost of the smallest bottle of Johnson’s Baby Shampoo once every 6 months? 😆

[@sydney6548]

not the girl saying "my hair has never been healthier!" and then admitting it's because she got a haircut 💀 yes... that's how it works LOL

[@drexyspivey]

My thoughts exactly. Lol

[@PresleyRoxy]

My God that first woman is wasting a lot of water. You don’t need it running while you’re washing your face.

[@laceybrooke6613]

Pretty sure the Healy is just a regular old TENS unit. 🤨 If so, you can probably find one at your nearest drugstore for as low as $30 😆

[@HSSG7]

1st Hun: Shoppers Drug Mart doesn't give free gifts Ummm. Yes they do. I'm Canadian. So I know. Also, Shoppers has their points card too. If you have their loyalty card, you earn points towards getting X dollars towards any products in store. No strings attatched

[@lhodge1000]

I’m not even sure what claims Monat makes for their hair care but that first woman kept pulling strands of her hair off of her when she took her hair down. That made me cringe but also it didn’t appear to be healthy hair. Also, just a pet peeve, but WHY do they have to bring us along while doing their skincare or makeup? Like, would you EVER have a meeting at work that way?

[@charlie6849]

Also she disparages her product she says she gives “free shit”. This suggests that the product she will send is not worth anything.
