Temu is absolute cancer in terms of business practices so no surprise here at all.
- Cancer in terms of, well, everything.
- But it's cheap.
  
  Cheap cancer
  
  If I wanted garbage I could get it for free from the roadside
  
  Why is Temu so popular then?
  
  Because people get dopamine from shopping, even if it's garbage. It causes enormous amounts of waste, because most of the crap isn't used much if at all. They just make it look good on the product page.
  
  …and it’s cheap.
