Generally in society you can tie your pay to the value you are providing. The more value you add, the higher compensation you generally get (negotiation abilities aside).

Someone who is merely a sales person earning commission earns pay for the amount of product they are effectively able to move, the more they sell, the more they get paid.

Someone who organizes a business, risks their own capital, and runs it successfully reaps the value of all these components in profits.

A cashier who works on a low hourly wage offers their time in exchange for a job that is easily replaceable, requires little training and virtually no education, hence the low pay since the value is relatively low.

In all cases the value is directly related to the compensation

Now what about MLM. What possible value is there that an MLM offers if they are selling minimum amounts of product themselves? It the view that merely signing up others is valuable? If so, how sad.
To fend of the expected answer comparing MLMers to sales managers earning commissions overrides from their organization, let me point out the obvious:

Sales managers focus their time managing their sales staff who SELL enough value to earn an income.

Signing up people and showing them how to sell things and sign others up is in NO WAY the same thing. Only in the mind of the very heavily biased MLMers trying to justify their value, which evidently doesn’t exist (perhaps explaining the lack of respect the industry receives).
