The Problem With Anti-MLM "Amazon Favorites" Videos

"Amazon Favorites" YouTube video trend has taken over anti-MLM creator community.

In this video, I touch on the problems this creates for a community critical of a business model in the name of being anti-scam and anti- unethical business practice because of the checked past and present of Amazon.

Anti-MLM community member will have to answer to problems created by the following facts (all of which will be in more detail in the video): creating another income stream giving the impression they are profiting off the movement, affiliate marketing has many similarities to multi-level marketing, Amazon has taken heat for its business practices amid investigations in California, Washington, Washington D.C., and Europe and recent union activity at an Alabama warehouse, & Amazon founder Jeff Bezos now being the richest man in the world.

I do not claim to be part of the anti-MLM community or pro-MLM community as this video and previous videos (including "Defending Kimbyrleigha & Calling Out Anti-MLM Creators", "Is Anti-MLM...Anti-WOMEN?!", "Anti-MLM Community Proven RIGHT?! (Top 1% Story)") suggest I have a range of opinions on the subject. I believe there is good and bad to both sides and choose to talk about this subject accordingly.

I do not support calling an entire group of people "huns", "hunbots", "scammers", etc. or the overuse of the phrase "horror story" by the anti-MLM community. I also believe there are many aspects of MLMs that need to change including recruitment & sales tactics, product claims, and the reality of the business opportunity.

This companies in this industry is also referred to as Network Marketing, Social Selling, Pyramid Schemes, and more.
