I work as a web dev, FE/BE, and company I currently work in took a project that is basically some kind of MLM structured business. It’s a challenge to do such project, not only from dev perspective, but also morally I’m not sure if I’m okay with it.

My question is - what do you think about MLM structures in companies ? Is it scam based business or is there something that I’m missing ?

It’s not decided yet if it will be binary or turnover based, but what is your experience with those two types of management system ?- from a technical perspective or product seller perspective. Thank you.

Have you ever worked for MLM company before? What was you experience ?

    According to the FTC, more than 99% of people who join an MLM end up losing money. It’s pretty evident it’s just a scam, where the only way you can end up making money is not by selling something, but by enrolling enough people in your downline, thereby defrauding them. I mean just read the Wikipedia article, or watch this episode of Last Week Tonight .
