It's essentially an app to cause as much addiction as possible, with 10-20% discounts to allow for it
It was cheaper than resellers in local sites, but you could usually find the same thing but on AliExpress instead (much more honest of a site)

99% of modern, mainstream things are brainrotted, clickbait scam. Including Temu, ofc.
You're much better off supporting local, physical business, if you can afford it. Because I can guarantee you that Temu shit will not last for much longer than their return policy.

Honestly I really can’t believe people would use this place at all.
Why? Have you seen what people in general are up to? How easily every one of us is manipulated?
Valid. I should have stuck to my disbelief in this as a viable business model, but clearly people are using it.
