Something else weird with Temu: They share a lot of content on their channel that's in different styles; this includes reshares, videos with actors, etc.

This means a video from the official Temu account could show up on someone's page, and unless they're paying attention to the username, they'll think it's just "natural" suggested content, or some other account, rather than a single company spamming content.
E.g. Unless you were paying attention, could you tell these videos were all from the same account?

wow I'm shocked. So shocked, wow.
Part of Temu's selling point is that you get shit faster than other Chinese apps, but that just means you're buying something that's in the US being stored in a shipping container at some depot somewhere. Anything not already in the states is going to be shipped same as any other Chinese plasticrap, which explains the wildly different reported arrival times.
“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”
Unfortunately, the Vimes Boots Theory does not hold when people are buying cheap, breakable shit they don't need.
I understand the logic behind this woman buying cheap, potentially-dangerous shoes for her kids when she has limited funds, but she
also purchased things like a plastic phone stand and an empty hand sanitizer bottle.
