My experience with MLM: it becomes incredibly difficult to have truthful relationships and not feel like you have to turn every friend and acquaintance into a new recruit. You’ll become the “MLM person” and if not careful, you’ll destroy every relationship around you. Some people make money (few), some don’t (most). I got out of it because it was exhausting to not be able to have honest relationships without bringing the MLM subject up and constantly chasing people around like a Jehova witness. They’re not scams, but are definitely not for everyone.
