Scamalot inflation - Be warned

What if they remove an item, and add it again as a new item?

I'm going to guess it breaks in that case, because I don't think it's doing any clever analysis.

But I also doubt it's big problem. Deleting listings breaks links and is bad for SEO so evading price trackers this way is costly and possibly self defeating.

Unless you're Temu and your whole business model is based on shrouding prices in smoke and mirrors.

It's not in their best interest though as it will break their wishlist advertising.

Temu is built around social engineering and gambling like algorithms.

I have downloaded the Temu app and fok. You win coupons every minute and you get discounts just by clicking on stuff!!!

I have played their game and I was like this is how a gambler must feel like.

Yup, spinning wheel is hot garbage.

Something else that I have noticed is when an item goes out of stock, the price suddenly drops to a ridiculously low amount. But you cannot purchase that item. Then when stock is available again, the price goes back to normal.

Case in point:
Asics
