> I went on Temu and bought Too bad. I was sincerely hoping nobody would buy anything from them so they would die.

  I was thinking the same. It's a proven predatory and reckless company that can sell at these prices because of shady practices. But hey, savings!

    I'm not ver familiar with Temu. Are these shady practices documented somewhere, and are they worse than industry peers (aliexpress, wish, overseas ebay, etc)?

        I don't install apps when there is a website I can use from my desktop. So, I guess I have a green light to enjoy Temu.

          Do you trust a company that literally hacked customers' device?

            To mail me packages of cheap Chinese goods? Yes.

  Amazon costs twice as much, and Aliexpress takes twice as long to ship. I have an adblocker installed, so I haven't experienced the annoying ads people are mentioning. I don't install apps when a website is available, so it's not a a spyware concern. If Temu is more evil that the other main two options, I have yet to see an explanation.

    AliExpress gotten so expensive too, Temu seems far cheaper (tho lacking lots of more interesting items)
