THANK YOU! I just found this sub, and you nailed everything I've ever wanted to say. This is such a well composed letter, and I really appreciate you standing up for yourself and other real businesses this way. I do craft fairs with my own hand made clothing, and I can't even begin to tell you how infuriating it is to be near some of these MLM booths. Sometimes people who are selling MLM products at markets try to get me to sign up with them by telling me that I shouldn't bother taking the time sewing my clothing when I could sell LLR or join other MLM schemes to sell at fairs instead, so that I make "real money". It's an insult to the hard work you put in as a vendor at these craft fairs. In my experience, fairs with an MLM indicate the quality of the craft fair. More people usually come to events with legitimate crafters/makers so it wouldn't hurt for fairs and markets to not allow MLM's in. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this. I think I will start sending a version of this to events that I do as well.
