Apps like this and shein are “you pay us to harvest your data, and in return we help you stay poor and pollute the earth.”, just not in so many words.
- They also have enough bots to compete with those tshirt bots. Fuck, just seeing the name pisses me off.
  
  I hate that it's apparently working for them.
  Some people deserve to be oppressed idk
I saw this gem last week.
They must have a bunch of these to unload because it pops up a lot in the feed.
I just got a pack of 100 unlicensed rock and roll stickers that was worth it for $1.50. Throw in a shoe horn and some silicone rings and you’ve got an order that’s near impossible to mess up. You really want to buy stuff it’s impossible to mess up from Temu.
- It also harvests as much data as it can from you and your phone. https://dataconomy.com/2023/10/02/temu-data-harvesting-allegations/
  
  This will not be a popular opinion, and I’m not even sure I hold it, but it’s worth discussing.
  If you do something with your phone you don’t want people to know about, you will be caught if anyone cares enough to catch you.
  If you are not doing things you don’t want others to know about, perhaps you don’t care who knows what porn you’re into, maybe caring is a waste of energy.
  Can a Chinese firm buy your information? If so, you are both missing out on cheap stickers and creating value for the firm that sells that data. You’ve just essentially raised the value of collecting your data in the states, ensuring it will intensify.
Oh so that’s the company that has been spamming my email lately!
