The games employ a lot of scammy dark patterns and rapidly, drastically diminishing returns to convince you to make ten purchases when you could have reasonably expected two would get you a free item. The game rules and terms of service basically amount to “Temu reserves the right to change everything for any reason at any time”.
There’s also a lot of misguiding listings where there’s no option to buy everything in the picture. The products themselves are usually decent, but the way they sell them is absolutely disgusting.
What the fuck is an authoritarian government? The entire point of government is to wield authority.
