I would assume most of you haven't been duped into a MLM scheme, but no judgments if so because they are victim making machines with highly dialed in cult tactics.

Anyways, looking for feed back on my website for helping to educate people in or with friends/loved ones in any MLM. The aim is to show how the math truly works and help them to understand the structure behind these "cults" [i know defining them as a cult is debatable, but i believe they are at least low power cult at best].

My goal/hope is to find some help building out a database with financial information for some of the biggest and most aggressive MLMs in operation today. Finding former or current members to get a more accurate number of how much someone in a program would be spending each month, the requirements to be part of a down-line, and pricing of products, This data could then be used to make a striped down version of the website to present to a user showing them how overpriced products are, the actual potential of actually making money [spoiler alert, there isn't any], and clear numbers of how much they have sunk in the MLM and how much money could have been made simply investing that or using it to start a business they actually care about, that could generate an income.

Sorry if this post is too long/rambling, and maybe not appropriate for this forum...having a hard time getting feedback from other platforms.

thanks, and fuck all mlms
