  1. 😂 What is this video? You didn't make a case for any of your claims. Products sold by any Chinese garmets manufacturer are going to contain some level of Uyghur cotton, which btw have NEVER been demonstrated to be slaves, nor have any of the claims about them been substantiated. That doesn't mean it's not happening, it might be. It also might not be. So when you claim uyghur cotton is slave cotton, then claim temu uses that cotton, even though every Chinese manufacturer does, and then claim people are terrible if they use temu as a result, your argument holds no water and you're left looking like an overly emotional 🤡 Then you try to complain that chinese companies take resources, make a product cheaper and sell it back at a loss as if that's not actually just the spirit of market competition. Every game console ever sold in history by any manufacturer has been sold at a loss. Every consumer printer is the same. Costco sells its hotdogs and chickens at a loss, are they terrible and you terrible if you buy them? Give me a break. Capitalism is competition. If you can't compete, you go out of business. Every yankvillian mega corp does the same in every country they do business including their own. That's why they're mega corps now. If temu was hurting the mega corps, they'd compete in very similar ways. It's not, though. Temu is a market place. It doesn't sell any products itself, it just connects you with sellers. Sometimes those are manufacturers, sometimes retailers. Now there's definitely problems with how they treat their sellers, big problems. But you apparently don't know or care about those. You're too busy talking empty nonsense

  2. Point of correction, you MUST use a distribution company to get your music on music services, particularly Spotify and Apple Music. It's similar to distribution of film and tv, where you must have an agent and distributor to get anywhere.

  3. Nothing, not a single thing, in this entire video is possible if people go ahead and go outside. If they touch grass, get involved in social activities and meet new people through doing that. Every concern in this entire video is only possible if you people make it happen. You can choose to not install these apps. You can choose to put your phone down and go outside. You can make these choices. You have the power. What will you do with it? Edit: 13:45 This part is false. So is the classification of bumble as a dating service. These apps can only continue to make money if they are successful in what they claim to do. They don't need to keep you around because the population isn't static. Immigration exists. Births exist. By achieving their claims, their success stories make the next generation of users.
