@FyreMagyk67 5 месяцев назад

Always happy to see you post a video, Jon, but seeing this as Temu sponsored video kind of soured it for me. Given the allegations and whatnot, it seems rather precarious to be sponsored by them. Please be careful with who you are sponsored by, I'd like to see more of your work.

@VMinoda 5 месяцев назад

and what are the allegations? and is there any proof for those allegations or just Amazon not wanting to lose a share of their market?

@FyreMagyk67 5 месяцев назад

@@VMinoda Alright, I'll bite the bait. Look, there are multiple scam sites out there right now that use like-for-like trademarks, imagery stripped from Temu's site. They are currently facing legal action in Europe and the US. It's good that these scam sites are being brought to court, but it would not be hard to believe that more are out there. It stands to reason that people not familiar with Temu might be more easily phished or scammed. Then there are the forced labor accusations which should make anyone wary and should be a major dissauding factor. Additionally, the parent company of Temu, PDD Holdings, has a history of using malware in their apps (namely malware was found in their Pinduoduo app). That doesn't prove if Temu's webstore/app has anything like it, but that history of being intensely invasive is troubling to say the least. If you don't care about that, then there are the numerous complaints filed with the BBB, which rated Temu 2.1/5 after receiving 235 complaints back in April. There are also reports (one them being anecdote from a close friend) of people not receiving advertised products bought from Temu, and there are allegations of copyright infringment and sometimes straight-up theft. Look at the video for an example: those grass tufts look exactly the same as those sold by The Army Painter (they removed the logo, but failed to remove the paint splash product art in the insert). That directly harms well-established (and more times than not, well-loved) brands within the hobby space. My point being is that Temu is a rather unscrupulous sponsor. They are aggressively trying to gain mindshare in the US, Europe, and else where to compete with the like of Amazon and other big marketplaces. That isn't troubling in of itself, but Temu itself raises some serious red flags with it's business practices and marketplace it offers to consumers is frought with issues. Sure it's cheap, but at what other cost? I doubt Amazon has much to fear at this point in time, given Temu's lack of association with trusted name brands and Amazon's deathgrip on the world stage (at least in the "west"). I am also not defending Amazon and their practices either, but that is besides the point. Temu is a platform to be wary of right now and, as the saying goes, "Let the buyer beware". I wouldn't want Jon or anyone else to get scammed or have information taken by Temu to be missused or used illegally. Temu has to demonstrate it is a trustworthy platform; they have failed to do so thus far.

@Xiv2022 5 месяцев назад

@RichardFleming 5 месяцев назад

Can't post links, but I have found multiple reputable articles stating the parent company had an app delisted from Android because it was elevating itself and stealing user data. There are also far higher than normal complaints of goods being either defective or not as represented. Finally, the odds of them have the merchant license to print Lord of the Print minis and others is very, very small. I at least am aware of no such proof and given that they don't identify the source, it is likely they do not have the license. @@VMinoda

Those tufts are literally Army Painter tufts, they didn’t even bother to change the packaging.

@sweatilaa5325 5 месяцев назад

@@jamesjohnson-xc5qm I think it’s more of a scam going on. They still have the Army Painter paper on the back, not specifically the paper the tufts are stuck to but the one behind it. It’s has the Army Painter colors and patterning. It looks VERY much like their text on the back as well and their painted example. The only thing missing is the big text in the front saying “Army Painter”. Otherwise it is the exact same with their packaging. It’s too much of a coincidence, feels like the factory is taking a fair few for themselves and selling as their own and not even bothering to repackage. Squidmar bought a very similar looking pack from Temu and those also were Army Painter tufts with the same packaging but claimed to not be Army Painter tufts, there you could even see that it said “Army Painter” on the back. Smells like some kind of scam.

Man, you've done so much for the painting community that many would consider you a pillar of it. But then you come out with this. Willing to take a couple bucks from a company with such poor reputation and push their low end products to the same community that holds you in such high regard? Sure, some of these might be totally viable in the hobby world, and they may save some money to people just starting out, but you know enough to see knockoff crap when its knockoff crap. We know what it is and we know you know what knockoff crap is. And here you are promoting it to the community. Some of which might not realize this is a sponsored promotion and you deceived them for a buck. Others of us do see the attempt. Your talent and guidance in the hobby world stands.

You know what, I would have probably watched all this video and not noped out 4 mins because it seemed suss if he's actually just said up top that it was a sponsored video. I've seen a few similar videos elsewhere, and they at least scrutinised the products properly. Soon as he didn't bother testing the brushes, and didn't talk more about the glue gun (what was the charging time? How long did it take to heat up? etc), and just blew past the mimic likely being pirated, I knew this wasn't up to the standard I'd have expected from Jon. I know he's gotta pay his bills, but be honest with your audience up front and they'll respect you for it!

@ChristopherKeelty 5 месяцев назад

So I don't want to play into any anti-Chinese bias, but given safety standards I would absolutely not taste any of these paints, and I would suggest keeping them off your skin. Some of the pigments used in paints are SUPER toxic, especially in yellows and reds. The ones for sale in the US and Europe go through chemical processes and precautious to make them safe, but even those are a recent development. I'm only 45, and when I was a kid we had to be really careful about not ingesting artist paints. With these direct-to-consumer Chinese manufacturers, safety standards are often lacking. Can you tell us, do the paints have an ACMI safety seal on them?

@SO-ym3zs 5 месяцев назад

I'm always shocked when I see mini painters licking their paintbrushes. Coming from the world of scale modeling, there we all know that you never ingest any of the products used, you use proper ventilation/respirators, gloves, safety glasses, etc. Similarly, you keep food and drink out of your work area. A lot of hobby materials are really dangerous if inhaled or ingested.

@ChristopherKeelty 5 месяцев назад

@@SO-ym3zs I have to admit in the past I was a brush-licker. I still do it very occasionally. But today's paints, provided you are buying them from reputable stores in the US, are safe. A lot of work has gone in to making something like cadmium yellow harmless to ingest! It's obviously best to avoid, though, and I try never to do it.

@SO-ym3zs 5 месяцев назад
