You have to scrap historical and business cycle mental models when you have an entity (Putin) with a big stick (nukes/supply disruption) incentivized to inflict max pain. This isn’t a black swan it’s fucking war.

TEMU launched in the U.S. in late 2022 and spent $3b in the U.S. in 2023 on marketing. Vast majority likely goes to META with small amount presumably to SNAP/YouTube as Tok directly competing for shoppers via Tok shop which launched in September.
