READING MEAN COMMENTS #1 | Reacting to angry comments from brainwashed MLM reps

Huns: You should monetize EVERYTHING you do! Also huns: I can't believe your KZbin videos are monetized. How dare you!

SO TRUE

[@tcort]

"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.

when I hear this sometimes I want to reply with "have you tried strippers? how do you know you won't like them if you haven't tried them!?" but that's just rude to strippers. 😂 who also likely make far more money than 98% of women in MLMs.

BTW, this is a comment for the MLM hunbots visiting this channel to leave "funny" comments: Hannah is a trained educator. If she is an expert handling little children, well, you'll never get under her skin because she is literally professionally trained to diffuse and respond with kindness, knowledge, and charisma.

[@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.

[@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.

[@LunarEleven]

​@@pokemonfanthings4444 I didn't realize "pro-mom" was a typo for a minute and I was trying to figure that one out 😂 I totally agree, women are the clear targets and many (not all) men who are in them were roped in by their wives/gfs/mom/sister because they just want to support them. They know better than anyone how much hope, energy, and money was invested. It's gotta be so hard wanting to be supportive but at the same time... It's an MLM, babe 😢

[@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.. 😐

[@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]

[@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!

[@NikkiRN-CLC]

[@andrayabarber579]

[@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!

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

Hi, Hannah (and your cute kitties)! I've actually been in an MLM since 2006, but slowly trying to distance myself because I have customers that rely on getting their product from me. I've been binge-watching your videos for a couple of months and can't believe how unhinged and downright mean some of these people are. 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 know it's time consuming, that's why I never had a KZbin channel, I don't have the patience for the editing. You deserve to make money doing your JOB and I'm glad you figured out how to do that and help people, which should be a goal for everyone. Keep doing what you do, because the truth is the truth, no matter how some may FEEL about it.

I loved this! You are so professional, specific, and data-driven when handling the information you pass on to viewers and in responding to people who want to 'attack'. That's more than I could do. You have opened my eyes to how many MLMs I've been exposed to without even knowing they were built on that business model. After being financially devastated by two MLM attempts at a very young age with my also-young husband at the time, it's reassuring to know we weren't alone in being deceived. That said, I also feel validated in my hesitant and suspicious feelings about others who have attempted a pitch and I resisted without even knowing why I felt like the opportunity was wrong.

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.

[@rawfeederlife]

I'm so grateful that I found your channel. I have had endless awful experiences with MLM. I used to believe that MLMs offered an amazing side gig and, maybe for some, it does. The reps I've encountered are rude, aggressive, and they lie. Two reps from one company scammed their own down line by charging an additional fee for leads that didn't exist. The company knew they were doing this but didn't care. Another MLM encourages their members to lie about being animal nutritionists and they often spam reply on other people's business pages to try and recruit people. I asked a woman to stop doing this and she went on a racist rant the blocked me. And a large MLM tried to get my FB page taken down because I quit their program. I quit because they didn't want me to write about anything other than their products on my personal blog. And they did this while still trying to take money from me. It took a call to the Attorney General's office to get the company to leave me alone. The final MLM I joined was started by someone I know. I thought it would be different. I realized that it was the same as my past experiences when they started deleting questions. I'm sure there are folks living their best lives being an MLM rep. I feel like your content is great for those of us who were gasliit by reps as we tried to build as side gig and continually failed. I make more money as a pet blogger than I did as an MLM rep. And now that I know more about MLMs and that my experiences aren't unique, I won't make the mistake of joining another MLM.

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

[@lpronovost84]

It's amazing how the anti-mlm community is supportive compared to the mean girls in mlms. I love your channel

[@chaseohara4781]

I love that the woman who was "recommended Thrive by her doctor" called it a Kidney doctor and not a Nephrologist... I feel like anyone who Needs a doctor for their kidney probably knows the name of the specialty. Maybe that's just me, though.. 😜

[@jaeydnheeren]

its like calling your psychologist your “dr*g doctor” 😂😂😂

[@katmancilla5777]

Yes I agree. Like I didn't know what a pulmonologist was until I had to go to one. But now I know and that's what I call him. I don't call him my lung and sleep apnea doctor.

[@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! ❤

[@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!

[@TheClassics01]

CC, Kiki and Hannah are literally my top fave anti MLM creators! If they could all get together one day and do a whole anti MLM on something, I would absolutely die!!!!

[@Ali_D_Katt]

How can you criticize a product/business structure if you never tried it You ever tried meth? No Would you say it's bad? Yes How do know if you haven't tried it? That's what they sound like. Some things you don't have to try you just take others experience into consideration like a rational person.

[@hopefulhuman]

I love this comparison. It's perfect!

[@KitKat10281]

​@@hopefulhuman this is exactly what I was thinking! "If you've never tried hard drugs, how can you criticize them?" 😂

[@UGAIMES]

Hannah- this is how I know you'll be a great teacher should you go that route (although, technically, you are already an educator vis-à-vis your content)- you are extremely patient in dealing with some of these inane tropes. I do love you subtly (and not-so-subtly) calling out the misspellings, though. Makes my grammar-loving heart happy!

[@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.

[@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.

[@yeahreally9185]

I actually love your thumbnails too lol. They're simple, smart and concise. They're not loud or clickbait-y, which I appreciate tremendously. They match your channel and your demeanor very well. Please don't change

[@GoldenSparrow31]

Love all the work you, Chelsea, Jessica, Julie Jo, KiKi Chanel and Savanna do! You guys are great.

[@nikkid2926]

Loveeee them!

[@SephKane]

OMG I came from Kikki Channel and found your channel after watching one of her videos, you were recommended up next, click on it and I'm so happy I did. Love your channel! You're awesome!

[@carolpbarbalho]

Funny thing is that I almost always only listen to your video as a podcast, so the part about the cuts in the video took me by surprise! Thank you for all the work you put into making these amazing videos! ❤️❤️

[@MasriBenzBaby]

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!

[@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!

[@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 🤣

[@Shadowkitty360]

Thank you for talking about your raw footage! I just started my first KZbin Channel (different account, this is a personal account), and I was worried that I was the only one on the platform who struggles to speak eloquently. Thank you for helping me feel normal ❤

[@agentkurt]

MLM Reps shill their products by “bashing” other companies and their products…their hypocrisy is real commenting that you “bash” companies to make money 😂 I agree with some other commenters here, I can’t believe you get mean comments! I love your approach in your videos.

[@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 ❤

[@marymahoney233]

I have to say that people who are disingenuous often accuse others of the same trait. It made me sad when the person you wished well responded that you were being condescending. How lonely she must be to believe everyone is mean and disingenuous

[@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.

[@AnnaReed42]

"How can you say you hate how Walmart treats its employees? Have you ever tried their Great Value brand products?" "How can you say Chick-fil-A's owners are advancing homophobic causes when you've never tried their chicken sandwich?"

[@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.

[@Gingerbread_Gorl]

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

[@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.

[@IAMCCSuarez]

You are a badass. TELL EM GIRL TELL EMMMMM

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

[@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.

[@kimberlific]

Kimberly's incorrect spelling of a certain word... And how you read it... I was rolling. A+. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@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.

[@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

[@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 😊

[@carollara5047]

A lot of those responses are some people in MLM who are being coercively abused by their MLM's structure and people above them, they get deeply offended and feel inadequate when you hold the mirror of truth in front of them, so their response is automatically negative because they don't want to believe that they're actually being mind fucked by their MLM's. Take the negative comments as a badge of honor, that you're actually educating these people, whether they believe it at this moment or not. Keep up the good work Hannah! 😊✌🏼

[@HannahAlonzo]

Absolutely!! Completely agree!

[@Starla.Mariee]

SOOOO STOKED to see this video! Your videos are very professional and polite. So, it's hilarious they all attempted to be mean but really it just making themselves look like assholes. The way you responded to each of them is the reason I watch your channel. The education and kindness is what is needed more of in our community. It's refreshing to go to your channel and know it's gonna be educational and drama free. You're making a difference in the anti mlm community by being a kind person. This is the reason you sold me into buying an anti-mlm shirt from from your merch! Thanks Hannah!!

[@HannahAlonzo]

Thank you for such kind words and for your support Starla! I hope you love your shirt! 🥰

[@Starla.Mariee]

I'm happy to support a kind person in this community. 🙂

[@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!

[@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. :)

[@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!

[@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 🧡

[@Blooderfly17]

26:27 when Chelsea comes to back you up ♥️ she just earned herself another subscriber for that behavior ♥️🥰

[@valeriaclaudia]

And another one here! 😊❤

[@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!

[@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!

[@MaddieTuning-e4e]

I love your stuff Hannah! you are concise, direct, sweet, and provide sources for the information you relay, which I very much appreciate. I'm a former preschool teacher and I LOVE that every once in awhile I hear you bring your teacher voice out haha.

[@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

[@Kim_wexlers_ponytail_]

This is a great lesson in how to respond to criticism and inflammatory comments. I always default to sarcasm and snark, and I hate that about myself and what to change that. I will definitely try “defuse, validate” next time
