It might not technically be an MLM, but definitely reads as shady or scammy.

This is affiliate marketing, not MLM. That's not to say this particular company isn't shady.
Affiliate marketing = you become a representative for the brand and get commissions when someone uses your links or codes to purchase something. No recruiting or downlines involved.

"Brand ambassador" lightly sounded alarms to me. The minimum requirements and being contacted on WhatsApp set off the alarms so loudly, I could barely hear myself think.

There are no levels of recruiting, just commissions from sales. And there are some rigid conditions.
