In case you didn’t know, a multilevel marketing company (aka MLM) is a company that emphasizes both direct selling and recruiting other people to join the company and work under you, so you get a percentage of the profits too obtained from the inventory they can buy and sell.
MLMs have been around for what feels like forever. One of the most well-known MLMs is LuLaRoe, a leggings company that has had its fair share of scandals over the past few years, ultimately having to pay over $4 million to settle a lawsuit alleging it was running a pyramid scheme*. But believe me, there are many others out there!
Because of the pressure MLMs put on their salespeople to sell inventory and hire more people, marketing tactics can sometimes be… a lot. And that’s why they are sometimes asked about it. Here is the proof:

And finally, when this person kept it short and sweet:
