Social media. It has made mlm look like it's easier than ever, leading lots of new mlm companies. More competition means more aggressive recruiting and selling. All the aggressiveness just makes people like mlm even more.
It's in the face of your average person. All it takes is one Facebook friend selling Paparazzi jewelry to shove it in your face. Before Facebook my only contact with MLM was people on campus trying to get you to sell steak knives. Wonder if Vector is still in business?
Reddit has been all over this for years. Redditors love feeling superior to people and boasting about how they're geniuses because they don't fall for pyramid schemes is just one example.
Most of these schemes are about selling makeup, and their target audience are stylish (read: dumb) teenage girls. There exist people who make money in these schemes (the ones on the top), therefore opposing them is sexist.
They target single moms (the most oppressed demographic) especially hard. And it's mostly single moms that think there's a big market of legitimate companies handing out high paying work from home gigs like candy.

Where did reddit's obsession with bashing MLM suddenly come from? MLM is dumb obviously but why is reddit suddenly talking about it so much?

Because it's offensive that people like money.

reddit is constantly searching for communities more retarded than themselves like BP is searching for oil reservoirs

There's a lot out there right now. If facebook was a bloated rotting corpse then MLMs would be the maggots.

I think remember reading somewhere females are the quickest growing population segment of Reddit, which may explain its recent frequency in r/all

So calling out pyramid schemes is sexist now because... Why? I don't really understand.

Women exploiting other women is feminism!
Actually, I think that makes sense.

I literally don't know what this is, but tbh I don't think I'm missing out.

I thought Negareddit died out when they banned calls to violence?

Yeah r/antimlm is more female than almost any board on Reddit.
But when you're a hammer everything looks like a nail.
