Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

Industries are making bad products on purpose to weed out consumers with standards, therefore breeding a crop of consumers that exist only to give their money to them if they ask.
That is exactly why Shein and Temu exist as far as I can tell.
I have no clue what temu even is, like what is it and how is it different than other sites?
It’s not different than other sites. It’s exactly the same as Wish or Ali Express. Extremely cheaply made goods that will probably give you lead poisoning with enough use.
From what I can see it’s the new Wish
It’s basically the same as AliExpress or Wish but with the junk being warehoused in the US instead of China. So you can get your junk in like a week instead of a couple months.
I’m seeing ads for this constantly on YouTube. Might finally go to vanced.

This is like the physical product version of the Nigerian prince scam - have something so shit that the only people who engage with you are idiots.
Can you clarify a bit?
Do you mean that they are trying to identify, corral, and market heavily to these low-standards consumers so as not to waste their time with the rest (analogous to email scams)?
Or more that they are progressively beating down our collective level of standard so as to make the cheap crap more broadly palatable?
I don’t necessarily disagree with either, but they are pretty different, so just curious which direction you are going.
Not OP, so I can not be certain what exactly they thought, but I alsi think that while idea of capitalism is that competition will bring best product to the top, it is pretty damn hard to make great and successful product.
My understanding, and belief, is that they internationaly push only mediocre if not completely bad products, so that consumer expectations are being kept low.
They don’t want to hear ‘they don’t build them like they used to’ any more. It is not good for business.
This js so obvious with movies and tv shows. From management’s perspective success is totaly random and non understadable, so keep expectations low.
We still talk about Firefly, about Braking Bad, Sopranos, even Star Trek Thr Next Generations for a reason, but it is hard to make something equally good again so they all make mediocre shows.
Is it a conspiracy theory if it’s damn near verifiably true?
