@cabel There was an interesting article studying web design trends in Japan that suggested there may be some Japanese cultural affinity for designs I might call “busy.”

Here’s the article, I think. Need to reread it myself: https://sabrinas.space

And, holy shit, wondering if someone I help with web design likes cluttered designs because he’s used Japanese web sites a lot.

But anyway, Temu is of course Chinese but wondering if there’s some related reasoning. I’d also guess Temu just wants customers to be in sensory overload.
