TikTok suddenly enforces copyright infringement and shuts down thousands of Tik Tok shops. Suburban wine moms selling knock off Carhartt hats in shambles.

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 'Wildflowers and Dixie' and she "doesn't know what dupes are" and doesn't think it's fair that Tik Tok won't let her sell knock off LuluLemon stretch pants for Mormons

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

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.
