I'm anticonsumption in general and temu just seems like the epitome of paying for disposable garbage.
In general i don't understand why people are buying any nonessential items at all. Everyone is apparently too poor but random crap still sells. I splurged and bought a cheap tablet to use as an ereader this year but only because i can't justify the expense of buying books and my local library is awful.
Well, at least you're consistent with your views. Being anti-consumption is a fine stand. In my case, I usually go to these sites for cheap deals on microcontrollers, tit-bits like USB adapters, metal stands, IEM cables etc. I'm not buying expensive/essential stuff from them.
