What about it is scam-like behavior to you? I’m not real familiar with it myself.
I just know from what people said in this thread, it sounds like some of the products can be low quality, some high quality, kind of a mixed bag: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/7336237
The games employ a lot of scammy dark patterns and rapidly, drastically diminishing returns to convince you to make ten purchases when you could have reasonably expected two would get you a free item. The game rules and terms of service basically amount to “Temu reserves the right to change everything for any reason at any time”.
There’s also a lot of misguiding listings where there’s no option to buy everything in the picture. The products themselves are usually decent, but the way they sell them is absolutely disgusting.
I’ve hardly noticed the game elements on Temu; the misleading items are annoying but it’s nothing you won’t see on Amazon, and you can usually get a refund
