MLMs are a gateway drug to life coaching

Eh .. I think MLMs are much worse than life coaches. At least life coaches do actually (usually) want to help people. They just aren't therapists.

People who do MLMs are just greedy, stupid, or both.

I agree life coach is generally a dumb profession, but it is an actual, authentic profession unlike MLM.

Probably it's more comparable to chiropractor vs physical therapy. But chiropractor can actually physically hurt you, so to me that's worse than a life coach potentially giving bad advice.
