The scam? The pyramid scheme MLM-ass gobbledegook that preys on people? That shit should be herbunalived. What'd the gays do to get lumped in with that shit? :<
It's a silly play on words (Acronyms? Initialisms? IDK).
MLM has 2 common meanings and given the initial context we're led to assume they're going for Men-Loving-Men flag, but alas they got an Multi-Level Marketing flag.
I'm writing a thesis right now about Maoist insurgent movements. So MLM also means Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Every time I encounter MLM in the wild, my head spins a bit, trying to suss out which one it is
My brain wants to make a joke about having someone help brush your teeth with a dick but theyre all reprehensible so I'm sparing you and everyone else the psychic damage of my brain desperately trying to be funny
The only MLM product that I've seen actually be good for what it is and could easily be sold retail are CutCo knives. Shit, they could still keep the sharpening service (they are rather unique blades and need special sharpening equipment) and they would be still worth it.
Nothing has made slicing tomato paper thin without tearing it up easier than one of those knives.

They're the shirt sponsors for the LA Galaxy in MLS which is simply hilarious.

killed. you can say killed on the internet. influencers say "unalive" so they can keep sponsors.

As shit as the attempted pun was, no I couldn't have. It would've unalived the joke, if you will.
