I have wondered how much effort is needed to find good stuff and real bargain on that site, cos the predominance seems to be absolute junk of the lowest order.
Cos it’s funny how “Temu <blah>” has quickly come to mean “total cheap crap”.

I was previously speaking with a financial reporter and he mentioned that this is a shady company. Although they sell goods on their website, their financial reports don’t add up. They’re taking money from investors and telling investors that their sales are a lot higher than they actually are. Also, their CEO often deflects questions away from their reports.

How exactly do we tackle climate change when you have companies telling us to “shop like a billionaire”. It’s easier than ever to buy low grade junk. Are we just doomed as species? That’s how I see it.

Just another reminder that the people behind Temu also made Pinduoduo which was a shopping platform app with info stealing and phone spying capabilities. (inb4 “sure they all do that”, this is much different).

Uninstall Temu from your phone.
They seized tens of euros in assets.
