Does Temu advertise as being high quality, the way AI companies advertise AI as “smart” or “useful?” Or do they straight up tell you you’re buying cheaply made garbage? 🤔

Is that with or without friction?

Sound familiar?

Yeah, it’s the basis for a lot of sci-fi stories; though China is interchangable with any country, corporation, or mega rich jackass.

I just had a BLT for dinner.
