My 30-something year old aunt recently got involved with a multi-level marketing scam and has been trying to drag me, my siblings, our cousins, and even my aging parents into it. At first we all kind of played along in the name of "supporting" someone we love, but I can't in good conscience continue to let her waste her life annoying the shit out of everyone who knows her.
I'm going to suggest some literature to her, show her some statistics which demonstrate her true odds of making any money, and gift her this episode of Bullshit.
Jon Taylor is a finance/business professor, and also a former NuSkin rep, so he has a unique perspective. His writing is very readable and hard-hitting. His book, MLM Unmasked, is a free download from his website: http://www.mlm-thetruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/MLMunmasked-5-1-2017-CURRENT-1.pdf
Robert Fitzpatrick is the author of False Profits. It was published more than 20 years ago now so it's a little dated, but still very good reading. https://www.amazon.com/False-Profits-Financial-Deliverance-Multi-Level/dp/0964879514
