Hey! If you like to hate on planned obsolescence and being manipulated by corporations, a video I produced last year on “why everything you buy is worse now” is up for a Webby! You can find it on our channel and vote for it here until April 18: https://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/2024/video/general-video/fashion-beauty-lifestyle
… Or you can thread below how much you hate me for the shameless self-promotion. That’s fine too!

I have never shopped at SHEIN, TEMU, and all those other similar companies after hearing that temu employees wrote secret messages that they don’t receive healthcare and right pay. And then I read a book that fast fashion labor pay is so slow that those employees aren’t actually able to build meaningful lives for themselves while we in wealthy countries can afford “cheap” clothes because like this video is saying someone along the way has been shortchanged. It’s terrible. And I’ll admit ofc I have shopped at Gap and H&M and even Primark. It’s hard to escape this but I am trying to be more conscious.
Tbh I’m glad we’re having this conversation. I find this all SUPER interesting
I was into slow fashion without realising. I get uncomfortable with accumulating anything in fact. Be it clothes, shoes or gadgets. I dont consider minimalistic but dont want to keep multiple things for a single purpose. I still wear clothes that i wore 8 years ago.
We should actually sanction these brands that underpay these people in sweatshops
I hate how there’s so much Shein when thrifting now. 🤨😒
Also: I remember the producer made another great vid a while back & shared her taxing, long a** commute to work, and I just hope she's doing alright 😌🤙
The problema is not what we buy, but what we do with our residues.
Maaaan, the content in these videos is so interesting, but little off-topic jabs like "it's not possible to be an ethical billionaire" really kind of ruin it.
tell me some brands that sell good looking clothes, good quality but low price? or even medium prices

Shop like a broke billionaire
We're being manipulated everyday.
I once bought two shirts in Temu, just wanted to check how te quality was. It was absolute trash, the clothes felt like made of paper; it made me regret it so much, not because of the money, but because of the labor and waste that purchase meant. That was 8 months ago and since then I've only purchased second hand things that are very good quality. Never again.
I just feel robed buy macys ,gap , mall stores 😅
You all realize that for each new sour-grapes western video like this trying to turn our brains into pudding that you are able to ignore and still think independently after just makes you one notch more based? Go Shien and Temu! Toss Vox into the landfill!
Your condescending jim halpert stare just reads as a lobotomy patient staring blankly into space. You have no knowledge or moral authority and are convincing no one, freak.
Ok, let me repeat back to you what you just said to see if i understand it. You just said: "BAAAAAAAAA!!!! 🐑🐑🐑🐑 CHINA BAAAAAADD". Get bent. Buying more Temu and Shein right now.
My clothes from these brands have lasted decades: PraNa, KüHL, Columbia, Arc’teryx, Smart Wool, Lee, Levi’s, PhatFarm, Centro, North Face. Even the secondhand stuff from eBay.
More expensive no longer means better quality or lasting longer.
I sew. I could make my own, but fabric quality has dropped too.
I love this, i love this!
Fast fashion brands and luxury brands are all the same. They come from unethical means and cheap labor. The poor buys the cheap garbage meanwhile the rich buys the expensive garbage.
People barely care about themselves so how are they going to care about the environment or even been cognizant of corp manipulation.
