I got some temu stuff. A 7$ bag heat sealer. Works perfectly fine.
However, I do not abide surveillance pricing. I can defeat the surveillance pricing but the procedure annoys me, so I've gone back to aliexpress which is easier to defeat.
What is surveillance pricing? Are they like using cookies to subtley raise the price on thing you're searching for?
Things like using surveillance to figure out when your payday is and raising prices on that day because you psychologically are more willing to spend
That's fucked up. Why this legal?
Cookies and fingerprinting, yes
I took would like to know as well.
Any tips on defeating aliexpress pricing? I stopped buying because everything was up so much.
