I signed up for a course for, like, social anxiety/social skills, and BY GOD does it feel like an MLM. I know it’s probably actually helpful and well thought out, but they’ve tried to upsell me twice so far and have referred to the power of their “inner circle” and it’s kind of getting on my nerves. I’m not easily affected by dark patterns like these, and it’s so annoying that they’re trying to get me like this.
Just don’t let them upsell you - some of these outfits are cults. Stay alert and leave when you are done with this round.
Yeah, I came to say this. It sounded like cult to me.
