You find that much more prevalent when you're in control of the amount of money you make.

With a lot of MLMs, it's not the pay schedule that's the problem, it's the prospecting. So many network marketers will just tell everyone they know and hope to find some super stars. If they were good networkers, which is the whole idea, they would qualify their prospects much better, instead of deteriorating their network by verbally spamming people who aren't interested OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
on the other hand, if a networker believes his company and his product are so great, then he feels he's obliged to tell everyone about it. Otherwise he would be depriving them of such a great opportunity. Actually in the MLM company that my girlfriend works for, there is a rule of 3 months, i.e. once you got a denial from someone, leave them alone, and try again 3 months later. I wouldn't call it spamming. If only all spammers followed that rule!!
