I've veeb seeing lots of emulation handhelds and fake joy-con over on TikTok Shop. Mostly accompanied by misleading marketing, or just unfair prices.

Tiktok has taken us right back around to step zero on dropshipping scams. American adults had just moved past this and now they're trying to catch a vulnerable new generation before anyone can tell them otherwise.

@Yixdy 4 ай бұрын

I don't know if we ever moved forward from it, the rise of wish taught the normies of my generation (older Gen z/younger millennials) all about cheap Chinese stuff, and has totally ruined most online shopping. Amazon has been a total trainwreck for like 5-8 years now

They even have localized versions. On German Tiktok they were coming up in masses and even promoting their products in the style of: "F you, you tagged sony and nintendo so much under our posts that they now want to sue us. Nothing is illegal, the games are legal" Which is pretty funny, as they obviously aren't allowed to sell these things with ROMs preloaded...

@damian9303 4 ай бұрын

I remember seeing one try that tactic with crappy AirPods cleaners, it kept teasing to not tag Apple or else they would be legally forced to sell off the patent so they could charge their own “premium” price on them since that’s the stereotype with Apple (remember that $999 Pro Stand?). They REALLY were trying to promote it as some super advanced thing when it was just brushes and bristles lmao
