Anti-MLM

Has anyone ever heard of anti multilevel marketing? I've been interested in this topic. I watch a YouTube channel named Hannah Alonzo. She has a channel debunking all the anti-MLM companies and reps. It's insane how deep those people believe they are making money on constantly recruiting people and taking advantage of them. I linked an article all about MLM's if anyone doesn't know what it is.

Multi-Level Marketing Businesses and Pyramid Schemes.
 
It sounds like what my daughter is doing, but she calls it being an "influencer". It sounded like a pyramid scheme to me but it makes her happy so I didn't say anything negative. I hope it works out for her.
 
The first things that come to mind are rather old entities.

Tupperware and Mary Kay . With Tupperware finally filing for bankruptcy allowing lenders to take over their assets. Though as far as I know, Mary Kay is still very much in business, founded in 1963.

I still sometimes see a pink Mary Kay cadillac in my neighborhood in Brooklyn! I think there are some Mary Kay people around here. But I have never had anyone try to sell me any.

Just "pass" if anyone offers you a good deal on your bridge. ;)

My grandmother was an Avon Lady. I don't think they did the multi layer thing.
 
If I recall correctly, an old school business concept was that you will reach 10% of the people you advertise to, and you can logically expect 1% of those people to actually buy your product(s). This way of thinking most likely led to greater and greater "scheming" for marketing/promotion/advertising. The internet made things exponentially more possible, of course because it opened up the entire world of people who could come across your product(s).

Also...what's the chances that when building the actual pyramids, that someone asked if the whole thing was just some scheme?
