minus-squarethemurphy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up53arrow-down2·11 hours agoTemu is insanely popular. Don’t underestimate this. Yes, it’s pure crap, but people buy it. They earn bucks. Meaning, it’s not a valid argument to say it’s crap, and then it’s not a problem. Temu is a problem. But then we have to start another discussion about the free market, because then Temu is valid. Then what? Legit question, I don’t have the answer to.

However, I do not abide surveillance pricing. I can defeat the surveillance pricing but the procedure annoys me, so I’ve gone back to aliexpress which is easier to defeat.
