after seeing that picture, i just cant understand how anyone can use it and be “this is ok” and buy shit from there. To me, it would make me feel like cattle that is good only for giving money to some rich shit in exchange for what is essentially trash.
I saw on a YouTube video that they have some “quick, it’s a limited deal!” events that pop up all the time where you’re forced to get 3 items or more in order to get the free bonus and you need to do it QUICKLY and can only choose from a limited pool of items that the algorithm chose for you according to what it thinks you like, so people is buying shit for FOMO
It’s super cheap. If I’m gonna buy low quality junk anyway, I might as well purchase it directly from the source instead of with a 200% markup on Amazon or even higher in a local store.
I’m realistically never going to replace the hinges of my custom shelf door or the acrylic stands for my collection. Buying more expensive stuff for such simple items is useless.
The stand? Probably not. The hinges? If you actually use your custom shelf it is either of similar durability as the hinge or you’ll have to replace the hinges. Low quality hinges have a tendency to break apart fairly qickly. Cheap cast iron has terrible durability.

They forgot the OG Hitchhikers guide reference where the runaway economic collapse of the shoe industry resulted in people evolving wings.
