At least it's optional and not massively intrusive to the shopping experience
Temu is like 100x worse, actually painful to use their app
It's ridiculous but also it gets me like $2 off of $10 of items where I already got a $1 coupon for an item being late and then $4 off with their other promotional bullshit. So basically I spent $3 on items that would've cost me $25 on Amazon which is not too bad. Plus it reminds me to watch Canada and the US get beaten in soccer lmao.
As a concept it is pretty fucked, though. I think it probably creates shopping addictions for a lot of people.
this is certainly something designed by people who are not capitalist ghouls
Isn't China comparably tough on this sort of thing?
So do they just let it slide for their own companies or does the rest of the world get the gambling-addiction-app and the chinese don't? That screenshot is very much in english
or does the rest of the world get the gambling-addiction-app and the chinese don't?
New vector for psychological warfare!
AliExpress is the international version so yea they don't care that much about the rest of world lol
You win prizes like save two dollars on orders. They're probably just copying what Xiaomi does anyway. Same stuff. Shopee does it too.
AliExpress is for Chinese to sell abroad, not for locals. These games are actually targeted at cheapskates that want to save every dollar possible. They're the equivalent of coupons but you have to work for them.
Tiktok vs Douyin is the same stuff. International gets the far more addictive app
Not sure I'm gonna call it based but it is fucking hilarious
I thought aliexpress was a store? Where are the products?
I've seen this sort of stuff. But its usually through google play points and rewards. To make points and whatever you play suggested crapware game. But also weird apps for making small amounts of money also do this.
