MLMs also generally assist stay-at-hone parents to get into a tonne of credit card debt because they’re sold a dream.

MOST of them, yes. There is a small selection that don't. But, generally the structure of the schemes have a tendency to attract conmen (at the top) looking to take advantage of others.

In terms of sales, MLMs are honestly probably quite effective. I just find the prices to be so inflated and it's very difficult to actually make money within them.

I think those with unique products/services actually do well... for a while. They eventually will get out-competed by traditional formats that don't have all the middlemen costs in the price and. To scale, even high overhead costs will eventually beat the middle-levels of the "pyramid."

Amway is a cult. It’s ostensibly worse than your stock MLM.

This one FOR SURE.
