Temu 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.

The thing is that it's not PURE crap.

It's kind of like going to a flea market. Most of it is crap and you can still find some decent and good stuff that's way cheaper than it should be.

Where there was once Tupperware, and makeup, there is now temu

I got some temu stuff. A 7$ bag heat sealer. Works perfectly fine.

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.

What is surveillance pricing? Are they like using cookies to subtley raise the price on thing you're searching for?

Any tips on defeating aliexpress pricing? I stopped buying because everything was up so much.
