One of our readers explains why Amway creates a pyramid of commissioned sales reps:
Amway products are overpriced because the money you pay for
them has to be distributed among all the various shitheads in your up-line.
Everybody gets a cut, especially your fat-assed Platinum, and the Diamond above
him.
For this reason the basic structure of Amway is that of an endless chain of
middlemen. When you buy that absurdly overpriced case of Perfect Water, you are
paying a group of persons who have a financial claim on you.
Now it is true that middlemen exist all over the world of buying and selling.
They usually function as distributors who get products out to the more remote
customers who aren't reached by the original producer. This is a helpful
convenience, and naturally the middleman has a perfect right to get his cut of
the price. But Amway is totally different, and totally corrupt. Amway
deliberately creates a huge number of unnecessary middlemen whose entire
function is to be parasitical on their down-line!
If Amway were honest, it would simply sell its products in a normal retail
manner to customers. It would compete normally in the retail market with other
producers, and try to earn a market share based on product quality. It might
use some middlemen or franchises to get its products distributed more
effectively, but THAT'S ALL. It would not go to insane lengths to create a
totally absurd pyramid of buyers, sellers, and recruiters who pretend to be
"Independent Business Owners."
The fact that Amway refuses to sell in the normal retail manner (and in fact
forbids its IBOs from doing any sort of normal retail selling) proves two
things:
1) Amway products are NOT competitive with other brands, and can't gain a
normal market share. Amway would be clobbered by the cheaper and more effective
big brands if it tried.
2) The entire Amway racket is not about the products at all, but about the
recruitment of down-line that will make you a perpetual middleman who just
collects fees. That's why you will never see an Amway IBO who simply sells you
the Amway products. He will ALWAYS insist on telling you about "the
Plan."

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!
If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
