Every time I see a slideshow on Tik Tok, it seems like it ends with a freaking Temu ad saying some BS about how they partnered with some bigger company like Fornite or Amazon. One of the ones that really gets me is when they have an anti-capitalist slideshow which they end with an advertisement for buying stuff from Temu at a discount. 💀

The app is littered with these bots! I’m certain these are illegal and I can’t believe the app hasn’t cracked down on these yet.

    I don’t think its particularly strange for a Chinese webapp to have advertisements for Chinese companies.

    Temu has been going through some kind of advertising blitz recently, I don’t use Tiktok at all but I see their ads plastered all over the place.

      It’s clearly just any attempt to throw weight and gain market hold by offering crazy deals (which seem to be decreasing in value now). The idea is one you order once it’s likely you might order again.

      I wish this kind of anti competitive practice was regulated.

      I tried Temu. It’s actually not bad. The packaging is shit, but most of the products turned out decent.

        Just seems like an AliExpress clone with more annoying/deceptive ads imo

          Yes I was wrong to share my experience with group. My post was bad and I should feel bad.
