Who has and who has blocked family members on FB as you feel restricted and watched?

That's called multi-level marketing (MLMs). They're a cat's whisker away from pyramid schemes and the only thing that differentiate them from pyramid schemes is that a product is involved. Typically a beauty or a health product. Avon was one of the first MLMs, pre-internet and I believe was fairly legitimate, but then we had the likes of Forever Living which turned MLMs into the cancer that we know it nowadays. They should be outlawed as they prey on the financially vulnerable (mostly female) and they have been rife during the lockdowns due to the stay-at-home orders and furlough.

Oh trust me I know all about MLMs. Seen multiple documentarys on them and it seems to be very well known with Juice plus. I can't quite figure out if she knows though and is just playing along.
 
When I first signed up I sent my mum a friend request....mainly as I thought she might take offense if I didn't.
She declined it and told me the next day she had no interest in knowing what 20yr old me was getting up to!

I mainly avoid it these days and almost never post anything. I would delete it entirely if not for the following:

- the marketplace - I've found some really good deals on furniture and things like that on there
- messenger - mainly just for a group chat used to organise meeting up in the pub (similarly I know a lot of people who seem to be incapable of sending event invites through any other medium)
- both prospective employers and romantic interests seem to think it's deeply suspicious if they can't find you on there for some reason, can't wait for society to move on from that one!
 
I don't block them, but i do unfollow a few of my family members as they seem to constantly just post rubbish.

Can often lead to awkward situations when they ask if i've seen something they posted!
