- [Woman] Thank you to Filmora for sponsoring today's video. If you wanna try Filmora to take your video
editing to the next level, make sure to use my link
in the description box to try Filmora for free. Another day, another MLM polluting
the Facebook marketplaces and Instagram DMs. Hunbots are on the loose peddling their subpar quality products when you could buy the
same type of product at a normal store. Most of the time we see leggings, jewelry, nail designs, and bad makeup. But what if I told you
there is an MLM out there selling products that
make you lose your hair? Would you believe me? If I told you there was a company with a list of lengthy lawsuits, suing them for hair loss
and damage to scalps, would you wonder why such a company would still be on the market? Better yet, would you wonder how their so-called
independent consultants can still peddle these products while trying to keep
their heads in the sand about the damage their
products have caused? Well, I know I would wonder. And it made me curious into
what kind of background a company like that would actually have. Now, if you're going
for the Mr. Clean look, that's one thing, but what if you tried these products and were unsuspectingly
put into a position where you would experience temporary or permanent hair loss when that was not what the
product was designed to do. And what if that product was being sold through an MLM/pyramid scheme type setup, where it only benefits those at the top and hurts the sellers at the bottom? Would you support that? I know I couldn't. But surprisingly enough, Monat has thousands of active sellers peddling their care
products, skin products, and even pet products. I have always been torn
between feeling sorry for these types of independent consultants and also at the same time, laughing at their
keeping-your-head-in-the-sand techniques to justify selling for
a company like this, but it does make me curious. And when I get curious about something, I start to try and dig into the subject. It doesn't matter if it's
a company historical event or a psychological condition, I'll just start to look up whatever I can to satiate my sudden thirst for that variety of it knowledge. And when that happens,
videos like this get made, and I hope these are as much
fun for you to listen to as they are for me to research and produce these little deep dives. So let's come through the dirty details and take a magnifying glass
to a company known as Monat and see what these boss babes
are actually supporting. But before we get a little
too far into this video, I want to tell you a bit about the company that won't make your hair fall out. Filmora. Unlike Monat, where there is
a possibility of your hair may be falling out
while using the product, that definitely is not
the case with Filmora. In fact, Filmora is one
of the most user friendly editing software programs I've ever used. And it's something I've
been using since 2014 to edit videos. I get a lot of DMs from you guys asking me how to start a YouTube channel or how to edit videos. And no matter whether
you are just starting or have already been
editing for some time, Filmora is a super easy to use software. And it's something I
still use to this day. The intros to my videos
were all made in Filmora. Yes, this one with the fun little pyramids and my outros were also
made through Filmora. I've made some of the Sad Milk outros using Filmora as well. It's a super intuitive
and easy to use software that's really clear and fun to use and it saves a lot of time
during the editing process. What I love is with just a few clicks, I can transform ordinary
footage into something new and exciting with a bunch
of super cool effects built right into the software. And something that's really cool is that I can even screen record
directly into the software so I can go bother my mods
and my discord server, just like that. - [Woman] Whatever. No, we're talking about
my anima experience - Okay, well, guys, guess
what I'm doing right now? - What are you doing? (background chattering) - No. I'm screen recording this video right now, but I'm doing it using Filmora. How cool is that? (background chattering) You guys are dropping my frame length but I love you guys. - [All] Okay, We love you too. - And after that recording
and chaos has finished. It pops up as a file
for me to drag and drop into the software to begin editing it for whatever I could possibly need. And now Filmora has film
stocks built right into it, and you might be asking,
but Blair, what is that? Well, film stocks is a one stop shop for you to download
loyalty free video effects, templates, stock videos,
sound effects, stock images and a lot more. And all of those cool little
transitions and titles and lower thirds come from film stocks and really makes cleaning
up your videos a breeze and keeps everything super super fun. So everything is integrated
right into the software and ready for you to use to get started on your next editing adventure. If you want to try Filmora for yourself, make sure to use my link
in the description box to get started. And again, a huge thank you to Filmora for sponsoring this video. It's nice to work with a company that won't make your hair fall out. But speaking of that, let's get back to
talking about the company that potentially may be
might cause some hair loss. Let's get into it. Monat, otherwise known as Monat
Global or Mother Nature as what it's supposed
to be broken down as. It turns out, I've been saying it wrong for almost a year now,
by calling the Monat and making them sound so
much fancier, classier, and more reputable than
what they actually are. My bad on that one. It could have fooled me honestly, but I can see how they
were trying to go for the, we are fancy vibes with the name and then just kind of accidentally forgetting to follow
through with the products. And honestly, the way
the name is pronounced really devalues it too. But of course, that's just my opinion. Many of you have seen my many many many multilevel Monday videos where we dig through what the honeypots have
been posting on Facebook. And this company has
been a pretty active part of that controlled collection of chaos, curated by the lovely people moderating and posting in Reddit's
or/anti MLM community. It is truly a source of
endless entertainment. And Monat is a pretty decent
part of the post there. And we have seen many posts like this, this, this, and of course this and many, many more varieties. Each have their own spin or twist, but they're all ultimately the same. It's a seller trying to peddle
their subpar products to you, a potential consumer. So when I decided it was
time to take a slice, of the Monat pie and see what
this company is all about. I found myself a bit
perplexed with the fact that I couldn't even find a Wikipedia page for them as a baseline for the company. In fact, when you go to
Wikipedia and type in Monat, there's no page for them at all. Now, I know there are a few
people in the comment section who always liked to tell me how Wikipedia isn't a good source, and I'm not really gonna argue that point, but Wikipedia is good to
help me establish baselines and help me build my
own timeline of events when I begin writing a script and there's usually
something sourced there that I wanted or needed
more information on, and it can point me in a
generally good direction, but I digress. I was a bit surprised
when I typed in Monat and I was given results for
all sorts of random people throughout history, but not
a peep about that company. So I decided to follow up with
a super basic Google search. Interestingly enough, the first results on the first page were all directly, pretty
much from the company. No news came up or anything. Well, the similar searches
or people also search prompt, kind of humored me a bit. The fact that the question
does Monat cause hair loss is the number one suggested search to also click on when typing in Monat, but then also all the
top results were directly from the company and how to
purchase or sell their products. It raised a variety of red flags for me, and perhaps it should for you too. And here's why, and I promise I'm going to try
and keep this super simple. Marketing in the internet age has dramatically changed the landscape in terms of what you,
as a potential consumer are exposed to. We are exposed to a mind
numbing amount of ads every single day, but they are inevitably a
part of life and unavoidable, but there was a time
before product placement, a time when billboards
and newspaper articles were the norm. A time when TV and radio ads
were even considered uncommon. And back when things
were a bit more simple, it was quite easy to
identify what an ad was. It was the commercial break
between your favorite TV shows or the mailer thing telling
you that there was a sale at the local mall that weekend, but in our digital age
placement becomes king. It almost doesn't matter
what your product is or even how good it is. If no one sees it, it's
absolutely useless. But additionally, what people say about
your product also matters. That's why you've probably
seen YouTubers videos get taken down by companies when they have a less
than favorable opinion on a product or service. Companies are learning that consumers want to
know more about a product other than it's available
and you can buy it. So bad opinion can be absolutely
devastating to any company. And I do understand the
implication of me making this video saying this, and then knowing what's going
to happen later in this video, by what I'm gonna explain to you. So I understand that this
video might be a bit at risk in the video may not be around forever because of some of Monat's
business practices. But we'll get into that in just a bit. Something you can do now is
you can actually pay search engines for placement. And although this isn't an ad, it also kind of is in
a really strange way. When you type in a company's name, you can see what people are talking about in regards to that company. So when I type in a company's name with the intention to
pull up their history and look through their
dirty laundry, so to speak and find that the search
results are completely sterile and just company links
and how to buy or sell, I know something suspicious is going on and it leads me to believe they paid for certain website
pages to show up first in the search results. So I knew this video was going to be extra tricky to figure
out about their history, considering that it appears they're purposefully
burying certain websites, terms, pages, whatever. And it made me want to
figure out even more. So here's what I was able to find. Monat was founded in mid 2014 and his own completely
by the company Alcora. And here is how Alcora
describes themselves from their own website. Originally established in 2001
as a direct sales company, specializing in beauty and wellness, L'EUDINE Global held offices
in Maracaibo, Venezuela, and Miami, Florida. So how I see this company
is like an umbrella company that has a few names under it, but they are all ultimately
owned by the same group. They first had a company called L'eudine or however the heck it's pronounced. And it sounds like an off
brand combination of it works in Herbal life put together. And that's okay, but it was not really
super fantastic or notable 'cause I've never even
heard about it until today, but when their new project
launched in 2014 Monat, it was an absolute hit. And as the company's own website states, they are a direct sales company. And perhaps that's what
the company first was, but Monat has clearly
crossed into MLM territory. It also appears as though
this Alcora company also created a third beauty
company called Project Beauty. And they say on their website
that all their products are created by an outside company called B&R products INC. So naturally I followed this faded trail to this company's webpage and they proudly state that
they are a private label company and my God, was this less
than pleasing to find. Now private labeling is a
semi common industry thing. And lemme explain. The best example I can give is for all the makeup lovers out there. You're probably aware
of the company Morphe, which is a company I refuse to shop with and whose products I won't touch. And here's why. Morphe is a company that
is a private labeler. Now it's not inherently bad. That is until the company
is trying to hide the fact and pretending that they
are more than what they are. That's when I have a problem. Morphe is known to private label from the company Crown Brushes. And if you buy from Crown Brushes, you are literally buying Morphe products, but cheaper and directly
from the manufacturer. And it will obviously
have a different name because that's how private labeling works, is they change the label, but they're still kind
of doing this recently. You know that really popular
James Charles palette? Well, here it is on Crown's website. So yeah, I'm sure James Charles
and Morphe worked so hard to make that palette or maybe it was just that
this company was developing it and they changed a few designs and changed the colors
around ever so slightly and claimed it was a brand new
thing, but it's really not. I don't care if a company
is private labeling, but I really don't like it when I find out a company is claiming to make something new or revolutionary only for it to be revealed that they were just private labeling the exact special product they sell and it's available from a cheaper label or direct from the manufacturer and contains the exact same stuff as the company in question claims to have as like an original thing. So thanks for allowing me
to follow those breadcrumbs, to find out this company is really into private
labeling apparently. At the end of the day, all it really means is that the
company is charging you more for a product with their name on it. So you're literally paying for a name. And as I said earlier, they didn't do a great job at choosing the name they went with. So it's really quite an
unfortunate thing to private label. So here's what we know for sure. Monat is owned by a company called Alcora, which apparently private
labels its products. Its second company was Monat
and was founded in 2014. But when you go to Monat's About section, you'll see a photo of the Urdaneta family and it says that you get to meet them. But when you look at the page, there's not really much to learn, no family to meet, nothing. It's a picture of some people that I have to make an
assumption is this family, but there's no real guarantee. And maybe this is a stock photo. I don't know, But their history is seriously lacking. And honestly, anyone with at least two brain cells can look at this history
and see a lot is missing. Here's what the entire page actually says. In October 2014, we officially opened
our doors for business. In a short time, we have
accomplished incredible things, thanks to the dedication
of our market partners, the enthusiastic support
of our VIP customers, and one of a kind home office staff. Monat starts with changing your hair and eventually changes your life. We offer a generous compensation plan and exceptionally nurturing support system and caring committed leaders
who treat you like family. Want to become part of this movement? Now is the best time, because together we are unstoppable. And yeah, that's actually it. There's nothing substantial
in the history section of this company. This little history page
literally has a call to action to get you to become a seller. There's no shitty heartwarming story of the passion behind the company. There's no explanation why this company is so important
to the hair care industry or why it mattered to them
to create these products. There isn't even really
anything about the family, not even like a first name, it's nothing. It's unusually barren and almost eerie. And I don't think I've really
seen a company page like this in a long time and it gives me more questions
than it does answers. But on the other hand, if this company really is owned by Alcora and private labels as products, I'd probably hide that too, but this just it's like
their search results appear to hide so much that it makes me want
to learn more about them and really sink my teeth
into something substantial. But if they are hiding the very basics of their company's beginnings, what else could possibly be
hiding under the surface? Let's find out. If there's one thing I really
can commend this company on its burying information on themselves. They have done an absolutely
fantastic job at hiding things and they made my job a
little tougher than normal, but, hey, I like a little
adventure from time to time. And thankfully for me
this much like LuLaRoe really loves to trip
and fall into lawsuits. And those are very traceable and my God do they have a
lovely selection to choose from. But before we get into those, I think it's important for me to explain why I decided to put the
magnifying glass on Monat and there are two reasons for it. The first is that they are an MLM or a Multilevel Marketing Company. And I find that these companies
are extremely exploitative of those who are most
vulnerable in our society by claiming to offer dreams
of financial independence and selling a dream that almost every single
one of those sellers will never achieve. But they will most certainly
feed those at the top of those definitely not
pyramid designed models. The second reason is because of the nature of
their consumer complaints, this company had about 500
complaints filed with the BBB in a 12 month period with a vast majority of them about the products hurting them, specifically referring to hair loss or like chemical type burns. And that's a huge health concern. Take a look at this one example out of many many complaints
against the company. "I purchased hair treatment that was supposed to thicken my hair, instead, it has made my hair fall out. I am now going bald. I first purchased Monat
hair treatment on 8/18/17 after seeing pictures online of how women were able
to regrow their hair. It initially seemed to work, so I purchased more products. After two months of use, my hair began to fall out
and it continued to fall out and I'm now going bald. I have seen other similar
complaints on the product on Amazon. In addition, when I tried
to address the issue in their online chat, they would not post my
questions about my hair loss. I met with a doctor
about a hair transplant and he told me to stop using the products. He also told me that my scalp could have some kind of condition and that I am too bald
for a hair transplant. He recommended I see a dermatologist and try a laser cap that costs $800. I would like a refund for the total that I have
spent on Monat products since I am now afraid to
use any of it on my hair. I would also like to
be reimbursed the $800 I had to spend on the laser cap. The total I spent on
Monat hair was $585.93. When the $800 is added,
the total is $1,385.93. This is what I would like Monat to pay me since our product damaged my
scalp causing me to go bald and also caused me to spend
added money on a later cap. There are several similar
stories of Monat on Amazon. They do not post these
stories on their chat and mislead customers. So even if you wanted
to support these MLMs, which I do think less of you for supporting a model that exploits those who are financially vulnerable, I think it's really really
hard to turn a blind eye to a company whose
products causes temporary or even permanent hair loss. Especially when the company
is a hair care company that claims to help make your
hair beautiful and clean. Hair is something that we
are all psychologically attached to. Many men and women have a fear of balding, losing their hair and so on and so forth. I could not imagine the anguish
of trying a hair product that's supposed to help
make your hair look fuller, shinier or healthier only to have it fall out in clumps and in some cases for it
to never grow back again. I know I would be absolutely devastated if something like that happened to me and I would not wish that
even on my worst enemy. And that's why I think it's so important to bring this information to more people. So even if you want to
support this company, because it's an MLM and you wanna support
your fellow boss babes, I can't quite wrap my mind around how you would justify
wanting to support a company whose products can do
that to its customers. So let's briefly touch on their products from the most objective
standpoint I can take. Something many Monat
sellers like to touch on is the fact that the company
is Leaping Bunny certified and I too can actually confirm and even applaud them for certification. It's a fantastic marketing
tool to trick people into thinking more highly of
their product than what it is. According to Leaping Bunny's website, they state the following
about what their standard is. To achieve approval for its own label, cosmetic and/or household products, a company must comply with
the following criteria. One, the company does not and
shall not conduct commission or be a party to animal
testing of any cosmetic and or household products, including without limitation, formulations and ingredients of such products. And two, the company does
not and shall not purchase any ingredient formulation or product from any third party
manufacturer, supplier that conducted, commissioned or has been party to animal
testing on said ingredient, formulation, or product after the company's fixed cutoff date. If a formulation ingredient or product is found not to comply with the standard, the company will replace
it with an alternative that complies with the standards criteria or remove it from the product range. So what does that mean
for a company like Monat? It means that the company
does currently comply with not testing their products on animals and that their ingredients are not sourced from third parties who do
conduct animal testing. And that's awesome. Here's what a Leaping Bunny certification doesn't account for. Consumer safety. Now to clarify, this is not me throwing
shade at Leaping Bunny in any capacity. I think what they're doing is fantastic, but I think many consumers see this as a gold star on a company
that states to them, Oh, this company is safe to buy from when it's really just certifying
the animals were not hurt in any way to make the products
the said company produces. It does not verify that a hair company won't cause your hair to fall out. But you know, just like an example, and I think Monat sellers
want to use the certification to further their stance
that their products are safe when that's not exactly what
Leaping Bunny certification actually means. Speaking of those boss babes that are out there hustling hard for that dollar dollar bill, let's take a look at Monat's
income disclosure statements because I for one, I'm extremely curious as to how peddling these
kinds of products off. It's like looking at an actual visual of how much it costs your soul. So let's take a look. Shall we? Hmm. I guess souls are going
pretty cheap these days. Let's read that little
underlined read portion. Shall we? It typical participant in the plan earns between 22 and 1,188
Canadian dollars annualized. That's pretty cheap to sell
your soul to this company for that little money and potentially permanently
ruining your friends and family's hairs and
relationship with them just to be a boss babe for a little bit. Now, in US dollars, that's about
$16.68 to $900.93 annually. And that breaks down to a boss babe, making between $1.39 to $75.08 a month. And that's if they can even turn a profit because many can't even do that. Now I'm gonna go out on a limb here with the following statement, but that's not really boss babes money. In Canada and in the US that's not even really enough money to be financially independent
from almost anything. I really don't know who
they think they're fooling, but this is really pathetic. But, hey, I guess that's
how much money you need to give someone to make
them irrationally loyal to your brand. So that's an unfortunate
thing I learned today. But now back to the company. So things seem to be smooth sailing for their first couple
of years in business, as it is for most MLMs before they start slipping down the slope of irreparable damage. But that slope began
sliding in 2017 for Monat. Now in mid-2017, Monat sued Mags Kavanaugh and associates of California
Beauty Studios, Inc. Now, I say now because you're wondering why
I would bring up a lawsuit where Monat is doing the suing. But just follow with me on this one because this is gonna be the first in a long list of lawsuits for this MLM where they do the suing but it overall doesn't look good for them. So Monat sued Mags, and
I believe her company, for making defamatory
statements against Monat. She had made claims that the company was
possibly using a similar or same formula as as the
Wen Hair Care products line. Now, if you don't know
what Wen Hair Care is, Wen is a company that was started by celebrity hairstylist, Chaz Dean. The company incurred almost
2,000 complaints to the BBB about hair loss and scalp damage. They were eventually sued
in a class action lawsuit and investigated by the FDA and then had to payout $22 million for the damage their products
caused to their consumers. Now that sounds really similar
to Monat now, doesn't it? Maybe, maybe not. Well, I could argue that it
does sound eerily similar to what's happening to this company now. And with finding out they
use a private labeler for their products, I could
also see how those similarities between the two hair companies
becomes even more relevant. So this woman made that connection and said something about it. And Monat did not like that. So they tried to sue her into silence. In early 2018, the lawsuit was settled and Mags wrote a statement
on her Facebook page about the results of the lawsuit. And here's what she had to say. "Since then Monat has tried to
settle with me four times now and wanted me to put up
a crazy apology letter that I refused to do. I now see that same
apology letter being posted by other poor stylist when they were sent threatening letters. So Monat tried to settle
one more time with me in which they are just
basically dropping the lawsuit. I am going to settle my case
with them with no apology, just with the knowledge that this never should have been
filed in the first place. Monat will go away, far, far away. And I will never talk about them again. Sometimes you must stand up for
what is right in this world, freedom of speech is the
fabric of our constitution, which is very important to me. Now you know the truth." And so with that, the case was settled. And although it seems like
she never had to put out an apology that other hairstylists
apparently had to put out or that Monat was gonna like sue them. It does kinda sound like
they were forcing her into silence then. I'm led to believe that because of the statement where she says, she'll never talk about them again. Maybe that's just me looking
into it too much though. And also no answer was
given one way or another comparing the two products
between Monet and Wen, but that comparison was
now in people's heads. And this lawsuit brought just a little bit more attention to it, more than this hairstylist
could have ever done on her own. So I find it kind of entertaining that they tried to bury this and instead ended up
giving it more attention. But this was not the only
hairstylist Monat went after, as alluded to in Mag's Facebook post. Another hairstylist, Vickie Harrington was also
sued by Monat in January 2018. This seemingly again drew
more attention to Monat. Vickie was one of the owners of a very popular Facebook group, dedicated to women talking
about their poor experiences with Monat and sharing photos and experiences and stories. She was sued for defaming Monat. Although this case was considered settled, Monat did manage to take
down the Facebook page, but those photos of men, women,
and children losing hair, having burnt scalps and
other forms of damage that were attributed to be
caused by Monat's products, still float around the internet and they're not pretty to look at. In February 2018, Monat was sued for $5 million in the first of many class
action lawsuits against them. This lawsuit alleged two key
grievances against the MLM. The first was that it
claimed their products were essentially a scam by claiming to have a shedding period as an excuse to purchase
more of their products to fix the problem. But in reality, the products were just
damaging the user's hair. The second complaint was that Monat lied about their
products being sulfate free, but contain the ingredients Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, the sulfate. This lawsuit additionally mentioned the systematic silencing of
critics against the company as an additional reason
why this class action was being filed as a class action for a strength in numbers approach against this aggressive company. And they specifically cited the lawsuit against Vickie Harrington. One month later in March 2018, another former user of
Monat filed a lawsuit. In this lawsuit the
plaintiff Dannis Sohovich alleges that she lost
almost 50% of her hair as a direct result of using Monat products within a six to eight week timeframe. This lawsuit in combination
with the previous class action from just a month prior, as well as over 200
negative consumer reports in a very short period of time, prompted the FDA to open up an
investigation against Monat. In March the FDA surprise Monat by showing up to their
facility unannounced for a surprise inspection. According to initial findings, the facility was filthy and contaminated. This initial report just means the company was essentially sloppy with how it packages
products and did so in a way that the products were
contaminated with general filth and dirtiness, which can count for
unaccounted ingredients entering products that should
otherwise not be there. Now with backtracking for just a moment. Remember that first lawsuit, when Monat sued the
hairstylist for comparing Monat to Wen Hair Care? The company that had multiple
class action lawsuits against it for hair loss, crazy amounts of consumer complaints and surrounding hair
loss and scalp damage? Wait, which company was I just describing? Hold on. Oh wait. No. The similarities really are uncanny. That's really interesting. I'm just so glad Monat
isn't like that at all. The fact that they formulate
their own products. Oh, shit. Aren't they a private label company too? Wait, wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That can't be right. Aren't they the company
that's just super transparent about their history and doesn't have a weird search history to suppress negative reviews and definitely does not try
to sue people into silence? Wait. Shit! Okay, Houston, we might
actually have a problem. Well, anyway, let's move on. One month later, Monat found itself in yet another lawsuit. Another woman sued the company
for hair and scalp damage. In this particular lawsuit, she claims she went to see her physician and her doctor identified
Monat's hair products as the root cause for her scalp irritation and apparent irreversible
damage to her scalp and hair. And she sued for the damage
and misrepresentation of products by Monat. Interestingly enough, in June 2018, Monat announced the results
of allergies testing and performed with a well-renowned lab. The lab did a 48 hour
patch test on human skin to look for possible reactions to the skin and did not find any because they did this test, they could now claim their products were dermatologically tested
regardless of their results. Something to be careful
of in this situation is that most of the complaints
about hair loss, damage and scalp irritation were the result of products
being used for weeks at a time and not 48 hours. Additionally, be aware of wording. Being dermatologically tested is not the same as being approved. They will test products and test could show that
whatever the lab test is sucked, but it doesn't invalidate
the fact that the product wasn't in fact tested. Tested is not the same as approved and based on a 48 hour patch test, I would argue that the test
is at best at moot point and at worst a tactic
to add to their products to say they were tested to give the appearance of being more than what they actually are. I would hope Monat is not the
kind of company to do that, but based on their track record and how they have acted as a company, based on their own actions, I really have no idea. And now it seems like we are
sitting and waiting in limbo. Lawsuits take time to reach a
conclusion one way or another. And for now it seems like Monat has managed to keep their heads down. And maybe it's because they're
busy with their lawsuits, but maybe not. Either way, this is where the
tale of Monat ends for now. It's a somewhat unsatisfying ending because there are no
fantastic successes or losses. There's a lot of speculation
and no real answer for the time being. As for the consumer reviews, BBB complains all been set to private. So it's really difficult
to read their new reviews and it just so happens
to be another tactic I believe Monat is using to be secretive and it just doesn't look appealing. However, when you go to
Trustpilot for consumer reviews, there's a left public and there are reviews
from just a few hours ago and none of them are good. So, even though they may
not be in any legal trouble for the time being, they're still racking up many many negative consumer reviews. And most of them seem to be
echoing the same sentiments as those before them. In my personal opinion, I won't use products
that are peddled by MLMs. I do not support that business model and putting my money elsewhere, feeds legitimate businesses and not MLMs. And if I found out a company
could cause hair loss and knowing that I'm very
attached to my own hair, I wouldn't go near it. And that's my second strike against Monat. And thirdly, we live in a
world where we as consumers feel an obligation to
know about the companies we purchase products from, and the fact that Monat
hides a lot about them and acts like a shadowy
figure in an alleyway, trying to sell me shampoo does not make me feel encouraged to want to purchase from them. So for me, that's an easy
three strikes and they're out. I will admit I'm a bit surprised that they have not been full on sued for being a pyramid scheme, but perhaps in due time, that will rise to the surface as well. But for now, let me know your thoughts in
the comment section down below. What's your opinion on Monat? And while you're scrolling down there, don't forget to leave a like and consider subscribing if
you're new to the channel. I also wanna give a big thank you to all the members that
do support my channel, but especially to Gwendolyn my top tier. Thank you for all the support and love that you guys all give me. Additionally, if you guys want
even more content from me, since I know since I started doing these
longer deep dive videos, it does take me a little
longer to make videos now. You can go ahead and open
up my description box, you're gonna find links to the Sad Milk Collaboration channel, the Big Energy Podcast, and a variety of other links, discord servers, and all that fun stuff to connect with me outside of YouTube. So I just wanna thank you guys
for watching another video. I love you all and I'll see you in the next one. Bye guys. (upbeat music)
