    Huh, I use an ad blocker and have never seen a TEMU ad, nor have I heard about it. I also don’t use Google (DDG, so basically Bing) and either never saw it or just never noticed it. I don’t watch live TV, I only stream from platforms with an ad-free tier. Yet it has over a hundred million installs without being in China at all, which is absolutely nuts to me!

    The same goes for TikTok, and I think I heard about it first on SM and then a coworker showed me some videos from it. In fact, stupid TikTok ads were a major reason for me to switch to NewPipe on my phone.

    So yeah, absolutely encourage your loved ones to use an ad blocker.
