Internet MLM "Gurus" and their companies

I've noticed something in researching all of the highly touted internet systems of recruiting, self funded lead systems, autopilot lead systems and all those sorts of highly touted and often highly expensive training systems which tout the new wave of mlm and scoffing at the archaic old school way of building an network marketing business. Why is it that these gurus that teach these "new school ways of building never seem to be involved in what I would classify as a "real network markeing company". It's seems all to often that these guru's made their mark with an mlm whose product is nothing more than some sort of tool or service designed to simple turn around and market its own opportunity. Now don't get me wrong most of these companies are very legal and valid and in many cases have a really neat product or service but why is it that I've never seen their products or services work effectively to promote anything outside of their own opportunity? I just don't see many of the new "industry gurus" making their mark with a company that is anything more than a fad.

It is quite possible that I'm simple finding things to compensate for my own inability to become one of the "heavy hitters" but the trend toward the trendy quick buck in network marketing is scary and dangerous to the industry. In my humble opinion if you ever see an opportunity that touts a system which does not require human intervention.. don't walk, run run far away. Lets get back to basics and find a product/service/company that you can get passionate about and stake your reputation on and tell your story like its going out of style. It may not be the most stylish system of building mlm but its where the biggest and most residual checks are continuing to be made.
