I hope not. The only thing that can replace Amazon is an even worse Amazon.

Wish.com didn't replace Amazon and the Wish.com's version of Wish.com is certainly not going to do that.

Temu comes across as Wish with an even more aggressive advertising budget. It came out of nowhere and blasted all my shit with ads, and I'm explicitly avoiding it because it feels extremely off and I don't trust it.

I remember back when NFTs were getting big, they were basically announced just before the Oscars gave attendees a Chadwick Boseman NFT in their goodie bags. From there, you saw dozens of publications going "NFTs, why are they so cool?" and a fuckton of press for stupid dogshit like the Bored Ape NFTs and whatever the recent flavour of the month was. But the backlash was always there, and people complained all throughout the first couple months of every hack publication making NFTs out as some tech revolution.

I see Temu the same way. I see an out-of-touch news story about a business model that's not only been done before, but has gotten popular and competed with Amazon insofar as it was exclusively offering consumer goods directly from Chinese warehouses that also use Amazon as an additional middleman. I'm seeing AliExpress and Wish all over again, and the "hype" I'm seeing stems from their blanket ads on every mobile app I own. I don't see a "rise", I see an aggressive marketing push backed by fuck-off amounts of money. It's fake.

Yeah I wouldn't trust it. There was another topic about it where someone bought from Temu, then their CC info got stolen like the next day and the CC company traced it back to Temu

That was me. Capital One traced it.

Oh man, I buy so much stuff there. Knock off lego sets for the most part but also bought a bunch of shirts for me and my son. It's going to be a very Temu Christmas let me tell you.
