If you're on Tik Tok for more than five minutes you will notice the videos of people selling stupid shit like fake Stanley cups with your kid's r-slurred name on it, or "totally real" Chanel purses that only cost 30 dollars for some unexplained reason. Well that has apparently been put to an end as Tik Tok's lawyers must have realized they need to actually enforce copyright infringement on their app if they want to survive in the US. As a result thousands of Tik Tok shops have been closed without any warning whatsoever, and they are also keeping all of the money they have in their accounts with the app.
While this is hilarious, it's made all the more hilarious because most of these shops are ran by white midwestern suburban MLM girlies, and almost all of the shit they sell is just shit they bought on Temu or DHGate and covered in tacky glitter.
Please join me and enjoy some girlboss tears.
This is 'WithLoveAshleyMarie' and she's a legitimate business owner who sells Disney and Hello kitty Stanley cups. She has some balls on her for fricking around with Disney. Who buys this shit?
What do you mean I can't sell Victoria Secret knock offs??
Anyway, here's the general search for it. The app is basically a mess of people laughing at the people getting shutdown, and the people that got shutdown saying their white trash kids are going to starve to death. Oh and here's the tik tok gossip thread about it on Reddit

All MLMs are started in Utah by Mormons, this is not an exaggeration

They all have conferences in downtown SLC, and sometimes the girlbosses crowd out all the lunch spots

They should stick to Utah County and meet at BYU or somewhere. Also if ur in SLC have you ever been to Red Iguana?

Yep. I'm not a huge fan, but it's probably some of the better Mexican food near the city core

My nana buys knock off disney stuff from single moms on fb marketplace to "help them out"
This reminds me that my nana also keeps meeting prowling MLM gigahustlers and telling them that her grandchild is desperate for a better job
(IM NOT
!!!)
then calls and tells me that some lady wants to talk to me and I've been totally talent spotted for some big tech ecommerce position based on her reccomendation in the olive garden parking lot
and it was SUCH a wacky coincidence the way they met, it must be "a God thing" and my lucky break

Darn looks like their lawyers woke up and didnt want to be sued for selling counterfeits on the platform. How dare they

This also happened a few days ago. The feds might be doing a crackdown.

Nah, feds generally can't be arsed with counterfeits unless it's tied to a gang operation. Most the time it's IP lawyers (like me
) salivating at the thought of suing everyone for our nice cut

Good. Being a counterfeit-brand-name buying poor is cringe, just accept your place and buy tacky shit off Etsy and local flea market.

Flea markets in sad places (basically everywhere that isnt on a coast) are filled with this type of stuff. Theyre all now exactly what youd imagine facebook marketplace would be if it were a brick and mortar.

Hey actually if any of you foids have experience with Cricut, can you explain to me how to use this piece of shit software? I want my sister to print a thing for me tomorrow so I'm trying to get the design made up.
I exported a DXF from my cad software but it keeps looking like shit in Cricut and I can't verify the scaling is correct. The circle in the middle must be 35mm in diameter.
Two of these are correct, but when I import it scales it to like, 1" by 1"
Is this software literally only capable of curly-font Live Laugh Love generation?
