I may join because I want to do business with that person in the future. Especially with people that have a large list of MLMers that are offline or who know people who have such lists. In Japan it’s called “Giri Ninjyo”. A bit like giving chocolates to the boss on Valentines day. Even though there is no love involved the thought is there.
Sometimes I’ll join a friend’s MLM if I want the products. Products are normally cheaper that way. Then if I like one of the products I may promote it to product orientated groups or companies that can promote it within their cliental without breaking the MLM rules.
I ask for a downline if I can’t see advantages in joining the new MLM. This way the products are free and if the group moves then I’ll train and increase the group. If the pay plan is a binary then the request will be to have people on both left and right legs to put me in profit from the start.

You’ve got the right idea about joining more than one program… I steadily built my downline in one MLM program and was able to use these contacts to help build a solid downline in a new program (http://www.monthlycashprofits.com) in a matter of days not months!
