Abbreviation for Multi-Level Marketing, a business model in which marketers are paid commissions on the sales of other marketers that they recruit, as well as on their own sales. To qualify as MLM, the business plan must actually focus upon selling a marketable product or service.
Business and marketing n00bs frequently confuse MLM with pyramid schemes, a business model that focuses on paying bonuses for recruiting people, rather than commissions on sales, because the criminals who start pyramid schemes like to scam n00bs and flatter themselves by calling their schemes MLM. They may even pretend to operate an MLM business by forcing marketers to stockpile unmarketable products to pretend they are selling it.

Anyone who calls a pyramid scheme MLM helps the scammers trick their victims.

MLM : Men Love Men / Man Loving Man

A man who loves other men. They can be gay, bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, or etcetera, but if they identify as male and love men, they can be classified as MLM. (Including Transgender/Demiboy/Boyflux/etcetera as well.)

Or it means Multi-Level-Marking, a scam.
Josh: I’m coming out as MLM, and I’m dating Keith.
Vlad: We knew.

Max: I just got an invite where I get 100 dollars by answering some questions.
Axel: Max, don’t do it. It’s just a stupid MLM.

Being bored one day, i happened to see a definition for some middle school. Clicking it, i figured it'd be a defintion by some kid complaining about how much their school sucks and they hate life and would be good for a chuckle(although ms does suck). Instead, i happened upon a little internet flame war between a bunch of 7th-8th graders arguing through a site intended for defining words about some girl who got with some guy or any number of pointless things that comprise gossip. Although it has been fairly entertaining, a little bit of advice: why dont you settle your problems in *reality*, rather than online, where seemingly minor rumors get blown out of proportion and became a constant problem. Posting random insults/threats/shoutouts/complaints online doest do you jack and just drags on a problem you would have forgotten about in a week.
