Logic would also presume that if they really wanted to move as much volume as they could, it would function exactly like a traditional affiliate program. You don't see Amazon charging their affiliates... but I do see their packages on every porch across the United States on a daily basis...

It seems that it's not so much about moving product, or else it would be free to join. It seems it's almost entirely about me paying. My downline paying. Etc.

And I could spam the shit out of my friends and annoy the fuck out of everyone 24 / 7 if I wanted... but I don't... because I don't need to. I sell to people who are searching for what I'm selling.

Why does it seem like their business model revolves around selling things to people that weren't looking for them to begin with?

Why can't they just market themselves using the methods of the traditional affiliate model?
honestly i think they work it on the idea of exclusivity. I think its bs like you do...so we dont do it.
On the other hand facebook started on the exclusivity idea. I saw one particular person on this board start talking about FB about 7 years ago when it first came out and I said if that fuckin tard is blabing about it I will never sign up...of course I never signed up to facebook and I dont see that guy on here anymore
