Interesting read, but misses the pity-marketing I see most often on Facebook - dropshippers.
“Local homegrown <country you are in> company going bust! Thanks to all our loyal customers. We are selling the last of our stock at 50% off!”
There then follows a link to a shopify shop selling stuff from aliexpress, marked as “50% off while stocks last!” but in actuality marked up 300% or more.
I find it massively scummy, and clearly it works because there’s no end of replies to most of them saying stuff like “so sorry to hear that. Can you ship to…?”
Meta really does profit off the lowest, most deceptive crap.
