So the source page just doesn’t exist. But https://mapsinterlude.wordpress.com/ does. When you visit it, this post is easily found, but do they list any of their sources? No. I checked a few sites that list top apps by country and just checked Denmark, because that’s where I’m from and temu was #8.
TIL Bulgaria is the best country in Europe
And people say America is doomed, damn.
Brainrot generation, here we come!
Goddamn right Crimea is part of Ukraine.
Out of everything the most depressing is Klarna. It’s a buy now pay later microloans that should just be forbidden.
That’s depressing as fuck.
I know. Cheap crap is a stain.
Maxima Grupė UAB is a Lithuanian group of retail chain companies operating in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Bulgaria.
LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, …
Wildberries (Russian: Вайлдберриз, Vayldberriz) is the largest Russian online retailer. It was founded in 2004 by Tatyana Kim.
All Recovery is an app to recover deleted or lost items from your Android’s internal memory. All Recovery can recover photos, videos, audios and documents that have been previously deleted on the device.
Serbia has an itchy delete finger, apparently.
Yeah, what’s up with Latvia? Why would people mass-download a grocery store app? Besides, iki is better. At least it was 10 years ago. Do they still have iki?
“Wtf is TEMU?”
Oh…
Also, wtf is MA IMA?
Nice one Netherlands.
The Netherlands continues to be my top choice for a place to live if I end up fleeing my country. If they’ll have me.
I’m sure a lot of us here can say that’s the only one on the map we have
Surprised me though, although temu probably would’ve surprised me more
Loving Bulgaria. Everybody’s doing social networks, meanwhile they’re “ooh, a puzzle game!”
You know, I mostly hear about how Soviet-looking Bulgaria still is from my family over that way. Everyone playing Tetris adds to that.
Temu is more like a capitalism network than a social network, but yeah Chad Bulgaria playing tetris instead of giving into consumerism.
People really use temu? I thought it was all crap.
Edit:
This is most downloaded not most used, so I’d reckon a lot of people heard about it, downloaded it, used it, realised it was all crap, then deleted it.
People would rather download the app to figure that out than just visit the website? That’s still depressing.
But probably temu was like get 50% off your first order via the app or something like that?
people like “saving” money
It is crap but everything in stores in the US is crap too, and Temu crap is merely half the quality for a tenth the price
everything in stores in the US is crap too
You might be going to the wrong stores
I don’t think I see US in this map at all…
well personally, i cannot speak for the EU - have consumer goods turned to crap over there?
Wtf is klarna?
Swedish fintech for online payments. A lot of young people go into debts with their “shop now, buy later” function
So credit card with extra steps?
Layaway without the wait
Credit card with no rewards and more predatory payment scheme
Yikes. Credit cards aren’t really known for being above-board there either.
Only Netherland and Bulgaria can be proud of themselves.
Nobody can be as proud of themselves (because of this list I mean) as Lithuania: “LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, …”
Offtopic but IMO “Netherland” would be a better English name than the fussy “The Netherlands”. And Nederland would be better still. It’s easily pronounceable.
Is Temu really that much cheaper compared to Aliexpress to be “worth it”?
They have better marketing
