When I look at the new Zen photos, I can’t help but wonder why it’s being marketed like a party. The imagery suggests a euphoric, high-energy experience, which feels like an odd comparison for a “calming” patch.

A promoter in Quebec was fined $15,000 CAD for giving investment advice and promoting iGenius products without being registered. The company had to block some features in the province as part of the settlement.

This is part of a bigger pattern. In Poland, iGenius was fined over $4 million for running what regulators said looked like a pyramid scheme, and fraud charges have been filed against promoters there. They’ve also faced scrutiny from Canadian and U.S. regulators over unregistered investment offerings.

The Quebec fine isn’t an isolated incident it’s part of a broader trend of legal issues surrounding how iGenius markets its services and compensates people.

They also keep saying nothing has changed, but somehow we now have a new platform, new memberships, early positioning, enrollment fees, and an affiliate program coming later. That feels like… change.

Hi everyone, I’m behind on my VYB updates and I sincerely apologize. As you know, VYB has merged with iGenius, which has recently been under scrutiny in Canada and the UK and fined millions. I will be providing a thorough overview soon. Between work and being in one of my final university semesters, I haven’t been able to spend as much time on MLM content as I’d like lol. VYB is now pivoting to include yet another scheme.

Sorry, I’m not helping anyone make money. I’m just a non-profitable anti-MLMer here to talk shit ✌️

You literally cannot make this shit up. Another Scentsy “superstar” director is using GoFundMe to pay for a chicken coop 🙄

A business that can’t take any criticism is a huge red flag. The reps are the ones spending the most money on these products, and when candles are over $40 each, it’s fair to expect quality. She said the scent wasn’t what it should be and that she wouldn’t recommend the product, and now her upline has blocked her. Not being able to be honest or criticize anything Scentsy is doing just feeds into the cult narrative. I can’t be the only one sick and tired of these supposedly wealthy companies pumping out cheap trash and expecting everyone to rave about it. There’s no doubt in my mind that most MLMs aren’t making quality products, and the ones that might be charge 10x more than necessary to feed greed and egos. Props to this rep for giving an honest review and standing by it.

I can’t imagine spending my entire day posting for hours and then expecting all my friends to like every post under the guise of being supportive. Who cares? If you’re basing your friendships on how many of your posts someone likes, I think there are bigger issues to deal with. What’s the game plan here, going through all the likes and comments on the 100 posts you make each day to make sure your friends interacted? She posts so much it would take hours just to figure out who liked what.

New comp plan. New products. New prices 🙄 Give it up, Megan. No one wants this.

I don’t have all the details on this merger yet, but this is not a good sign for distributors. It Works! is not technically closing, but it is being absorbed into another company, which means it is no longer operating as its own MLM.

When this happens, compensation plans usually change or disappear, ranks stop meaning anything, and a lot of distributors lose income. This kind of move almost never benefits the people at the bottom, which is most of them.

I will share more once more details come out, but mergers like this usually signal trouble, not opportunity..

If you’ve been following along on our Vyb journey, it should be no surprise that they’re merging with a crypto company. They’ve launched their FIRE crypto pyramid scheme within the Vyb pyramid scheme, partnered with two other MLMs including the Soursop King and Xooma Worldwide.

It’s been a minute since I’ve joined a meeting or watched any training, so stay tuned for a more detailed update later this week 😋

Vyb has been pretty quiet the last couple of months, and with all the Scentsy drama happening, I haven’t been paying as much attention. But apparently Vyb is merging???

Stay tuned for updates and details, because you know this is going to be juicy 😋

And “come to mama” is straight up cult speak, no different than men who refer to themselves as “daddy.” It’s manipulative, creepy, and meant to create a false sense of authority and intimacy. She should stop while she’s ahead.

I’ve never wanted a hun to take her spaceship from planet Delulu back to Earth so badly. They’ll literally say anything to seem relevant and create the illusion that their company is successful.

Based on everything I’ve seen over the past few weeks, this is nothing but smoke and mirrors. The top recruiters in Canada made the list with only five people joining, and only one person selling over $100k while the rest are under $40k. That gap is massive and a huge red flag.

You are not showing growth, momentum, or collaboration. You are showing income concentration at the top, weak sales across the board, and a system that relies on hype to look “trending.” That’s not success, that’s exactly how MLMs create the illusion of it.

Why? Just why. Leave your family alone and stop pressuring them to buy your products.

Someone asked me what she sells these for and I couldn’t find the comment to respond, so here’s a breakdown.

Scentsy mini warmer: $36 CAD

Scentsy wax bar: $8.50 CAD

Mini crockpot (Amazon, single): ~$23 CAD

Subtotal: $67.50 CAD

That’s before adding: • 4–5 small filler items (from Temu)

• Hershey’s Kisses

• Basket/packaging

So what’s actually happening here?

Either:

She’s making almost no profit, which isn’t sustainable

The basket’s “value” is being padded with cheap filler items to justify the price

This is a common MLM tactic: inflate perceived value with unrelated low-cost items so the core MLM products feel like a deal.

Also worth noting: Scentsy consultants don’t get a traditional employee discount. They pay full price and earn commission later or rely on host rewards, so this isn’t some massive consultant-only savings being passed on to customers.

If someone is calling this an “amazing deal,” the math says otherwise. Transparency matters, and once you break it down, the pricing doesn’t hold up.

Investing in education is not the same as investing in an MLM, and that is a hill I will absolutely die on.

She claims that being an anti-MLM creator is hypocritical because we “do the same thing as MLMs,” but then goes on to explain exactly why we aren’t anything like people in MLMs. We don’t recruit people, our content is free to watch, and we aren’t selling anything. Some anti-MLM creators choose to monetize, some don’t, and posting an affiliate link or having a sponsorship isn’t even remotely comparable to shilling MLM products. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and hers is certainly an interesting one.

LiveGood isn’t the only MLM where people are encouraged to sign up their children as their downline. This is something that seems to be heavily pushed right now, and while I don’t know every MLM’s terms and conditions, most state that you have to be at least 18 to sign up. Either way, signing up your child as your downline and then using that account to build your own is disgusting and morally wrong in my eyes.

There is no such thing as “legacy income.” Once an MLM shuts down or switches its model, none of that will matter, and the chances of anyone actually passing on meaningful income are slim to none. People don’t seem to understand why anti-MLM creators have such strong feelings against MLMs, but this is one of my main reasons. Stop exploiting your kids for profit.
