    I can give Ali a pass for niche things, but Temu is straight up junk. The problem is when these cheaper products permeate everything while being pushed as high end. Etsy is basically useless now because of this. Almost everything on there is an overpriced knockoff.

    None of this is necessarily AliExpress’ or Temu’s fault though. It’s just what happens in a capitalist system.

      Yeah, AliExpress is the baby version of the wholesale platform Alibaba, and they’re now a big enough company to also have their own cloud provider. Temu, Wish and Shein are all trash.
