Action, meet Consequences
everything is still normal up here in canada lol
For the time being.
A FAFO moment for Burgerland
I appreciate the line that states most of their business is not affected because Europe and the middle east still buy a lot of stuff. America realizing they don’t matter anymore is fun to watch.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Listen, I respect Chinese manufacturing and their products, but I have literally the lowest opinion of Temu. That place is garbage. I’d buy something from there if the site didn’t behave like a scam
The pop up fake gifts are annoying, but something I’m willing to tolerate to pay less than half for the exact same products I find on Amazon or at retail stores.
What about it is scam-like behavior to you? I’m not real familiar with it myself.
I just know from what people said in this thread, it sounds like some of the products can be low quality, some high quality, kind of a mixed bag: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/7336237
The games employ a lot of scammy dark patterns and rapidly, drastically diminishing returns to convince you to make ten purchases when you could have reasonably expected two would get you a free item.
There’s also a lot of misguiding listings where there’s no option to buy everything in the picture. The products themselves are usually decent, but the way they sell them is absolutely disgusting.
Ah good to know, thanks.
I’ve hardly noticed the game elements on Temu; the misleading items are annoying but it’s nothing you won’t see on Amazon, and you can usually get a refund
I’ve never used it, so i can’t say. But i know it is popular and a lot of people relied on it.
Aside from their scammy games Temu just sells you the same things other major online retailers do but cutting out the warehousing middle man.
