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 ?

existing anti-pyramid scheme laws only prohibit “businesses” that don’t actually sell any products, and make all of their money through recruitment.

So like... NFT communities?

Hey hey hey let's not get ahead of ourselves. NFTs aren't pyramid schemes - Digital goods still count as a product.

They're money laundering. Clear difference.
