Couple of mlm's who didn't lie about their success. Granted, I was too busy to join them, but their model seemed harmless and straight forward to me. Have I put in a lot of work and money to do something I thought would make me rich and famous? Yes. I played football thinking I'd go to the nfl. I don't regret it cuz I learned a lot from it, but I definitely lost a lot of money. To me, the irritation comes from the "investors" expectations, but I learned from playing football to check on actual expectations/probability rather than just taking someone's word for it.
