You might get a discount or free coffee but you’re also being played by the multi-billion dollar gamification industry. (theconversation.com)

AliExpress also sells high quality niche items if you know how to find them. I agree the site is drowning in crap, but at least coming from Canada, it often has things amazon.ca simply doesn't sell... or anywhere else in the world at a price that isn't prohibitive.

Just like most places on the Internet, using the site is a skill that needs to be developed.

Aliexpress (and i guess temu in a sense) are basically just selling wholesale straight from the Chinese factories. Many which produce 'high quality' stuff that totally doesn't fall off a back of a truck...
