CMV: MLMs (Multi-level marketing schemes) such as Herbalife, It Works, and Vector Marketing are unethical companies who should not exist in this market.

After seeing many friends fall down this rabbit hole and the recent ELI5 post, I remain convinced that these companies only provide a disservice to the consumer while encouraging addiction and promoting unethical sales practices.

These companies technically don't break any laws, but they are borderline. For example, they dishonestly advertise the result, they exploit disadvantaged people, and they ultimately hinder the economy by selling unsafe, cheap, and unregulated products to family members, which also harms relationships.

I know that the free market exists, hence the existence of these companies, but I'm asserting that it's wrong that these companies exist in the first place. CMV.

Is your issue with the advertising of how much the folks that sling their products can make?

Or is it with their products being snake oil?

Would a guy pushing a houseflipping "system" be unethical to you?  That's similar to the first example, but not the second.

Would a normal company selling snake oil weight loss products also be unethical (loads of shit at GNC falls under this column)?
