Every time I see a slideshow on Tik Tok, it seems like it ends with a freaking Temu ad saying some BS about how they partnered with some bigger company like Fornite or Amazon. One of the ones that really gets me is when they have an anti-capitalist slideshow which they end with an advertisement for buying stuff from Temu at a discount. 💀

The app is littered with these bots! I’m certain these are illegal and I can’t believe the app hasn’t cracked down on these yet.

    Their ads are auto generated nonsense!

    Sometimes their auto-generated ads are hilarious. “Empowering women’s savings” while showing pictures of a dead rat, some weird baby costume, what I think is a sex toy…

        FYI platforms mostly don’t choose who advertises on them. They pick some broad categories of ads that they are okay with and let an advertising provider like Google actually connect them to the advertiser.
