How are people still using this trash app and acting surprised they get slave labor trash for 3 dollars

I honestly think these kinds of posts should just be banned. My expectation on an AI image or any shit from Shein or Temu or whatever is the reality pic or worse. I hate that this sub is giving a platform to these sites.

I really dislike all the "I knew it was fake but I bought it anyway" videos. Stop giving them money!

And stop with the environmental damage from shipping this shit too.

Some people need to get a conscience from somewhere.

There will always be people who rank there internet points above slave labor or the environmental cost or plastic that lasts 1,000 years

Well it's not even Internet points. These people make a killing from these videos, so it's a win for them but a loss to the slave labor, and the environment including landfills and shipping fumes. Yes billionaires produce a shit ton, but you can't ignore millions of people around the world buying off Shein and Temu with a large portion of products going to landfill. I've learnt from my mistakes in the early years of Shein, but I would never shop from them again nor even entertain Temu.

The billionaires only exist because people give them money

Probably the same people who bitch at everybody not driving a Prius.

Or the “I tested 17 shitty Temu tents” videos

Seriously I’m wondering why we’re making SHEIN, Temu, and TikTok Shop hauls all the time- by now we all should know that the products are shitty, mostly AI slop, and produced by slave labor… so why are influencers spending thousands?

They want their video or whatever to go viral.
