Sure... it's the very basic way that MLM "works" that does it. The
overwhelming majority of the money comes from the "recruits" on their way
into the thing, as they sign up (on average) *maybe* one or two others
they know personally well enough to influence and themselves buy stuff to
"qualify" for "commissions" that they never do get to later.

Thus, the "pyramid" is very big at the bottom and constant "recruiting" is
necessary, since most folks leave within a few months or so.

What to do about it? The best answer is: don't get into it in the first
place. That other itty bitty 3% or so that "succeed" realize that what
they're really making their money doing is pitching a hyped up purely
mathematical "opportunity" to a huge amount of folks that will be lucky if
they don't spend a lot more than they ever see back.
