Yikes, is retail therapy really a thing? Assuming this is a real website, there are so many things both wrong and sad here. :( You don't need to buy things (especially on Aliexpress) to be happy, to enjoy life, to make friends.

I hope the lockdown many people here are experiencing will at least make us a bit more aware of the madness of ultra-consumption we live in.

Edit: okay fine, I clicked on the ”Terms of Service”. I still don't really get the point of this website. Can you explain?

Give us a sample of what you're showcasing. At the moment you're just saying "GIVE ME AN EMAIL" to recieve... what?

There’s a series of examples further down the page — a jacket, a watch band, a watch. Not my cup of tea, but this critique seems a bit disconnected from the linked page.

I would highly prefer https://thieve.co/ over this.

* It's not a newsletter that's gonna spam your email every day

* It has a website interface. So you can visit the website whenever you are looking to buy something

* You essentially get the same deals without surrendering your email address.

Note: I am NOT affiliated to this website in any way. I just use it sometimes to find cool stuff.

Good effort on a polite but constructive comment.

I suppose the point is to generate sales and earn some referral bonus. Correct me if I'm wrong
