The Shady Company That Took Over The USA

How a brand new Chinese E-Commerce company found its way into the average American's life.

They mailed me a Chinese boy instead of my flashlight by accident

I thought TEMU was just a meme, I had no idea it was this huge bro

[TheLiamster]

The motto “shop like a billionaire” is funny because billionaires don’t even do shopping. They have people to do it for them

I personally become very suspicious when something advertised is too cheap. That usually tells me that it was either stolen or has abysmal quality and should be avoided in favor of a quality product at a reasonable price

[Jungletraveler_]

Why are people so obsessed with ordering low quality garbage? Yeah because it's cheap, huray!

[justlisten]

Child labor is a mofo, Americans Act like they don't know but look at the price... cmon people

[Frog_mc]

the way i almost scrolled past the video because i saw “TEMU” in the big orange letters and thought it was an ad💀

[nathandriggs]

That “a company like toys r …. A company like Amazon” line killed me. 😂 RIP

From factory to consumer? More like from factory to *landfill.*

What a miserable waste of resources, both material _and_ human.

I swear my mom is a sizable percentage of their revenue. Every time i go to her house; she’s got some new clothing item from temu for like 3 cents

[clivah]

I got these notes from the video:
- Temu is a casino
- Temu does not store the ware they sell, but make it directly for the consumer.
- Temu is a slave-powered factory.
Note that it is weird to think that unethically made goods will bear the same quality (and efficiency) as ethically made goods.

[lanzer]

A huge factor is how we don’t charge Temu on regular parcel cost. Chains claimed to be a developing country to qualify for this and were somehow getting $1 items shipped for free.

Getting a Temu ad while watching this was the icing on the cake

[Ehh.....]

They Turned "Wish" into "Temu at Home".

[vektracaslermd]

Adblockers, people. Adblockers. I've never even heard of a Temu until just now.

My grandmother bought her first clothes dryer in 1965, which still runs today. She said people used to make products with their hands and that gave those products a soul.

I always find it hilarious when people willingly buy cheap crap, and then complain about it.

[CarefaceKarl]

To be honest this is the result from loosing our own manufacturing. I'm not American but we have the same problem here in Sweden. Most stores / distributors import from China, Pakistan and such instead of relying on our own production. Feels like this was inevitable. Just to much greed now days.

[Lemnsquid]

The irony of Americans “supporting America made” and never ever doing it. One of my favorite hypocrisies

[FOX-umwr]

The first time I seen TEMU, I said to myself, "This must be made in China." So I never tried the company. My neighbor did though. She told me she wished she had never did business with them. Half the stuff she ordered was crappy, poor quality, the Extra Large toddler dress would have fit a small doll, and then they wouldn't stop spamming her. LOL
