So the source page just doesn't exist. But https://mapsinterlude.wordpress.com/ does. When you visit it, this post is easily found, but do they list any of their sources? No. I checked a few sites that list top apps by country and just checked Denmark, because that's where I'm from and temu was #8.
This can't be correct. No way people use Signal more than Whatsapp in NL. And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?
It is the most downloaded app in 2024
I think most Dutchies already had Whatsapp installed prior to 2024.
pretty sure this is bullshit. have seen some other maps on there too. unconvincing stats with no sources.
TIL Bulgaria is the best country in Europe
Klarna. Why? It is such a shit company.
My card keeping app was bought by Klarna. Had to migrate my account so I could even view them. Turns out Klarna is a bank, so now even deleting my account leaves sensitive information because banks have to keep those.
Also the UI was shit.
And people say America is doomed, damn.
Goddamn right Crimea is part of Ukraine.
Brainrot generation, here we come!
Out of everything the most depressing is Klarna. It's a buy now pay later microloans that should just be forbidden.
We get a lot of advertising for it here in Belgium and tons of webshops support it, sadly. What a trash company.
That's depressing as fuck.
I know. Cheap crap is a stain.
Maxima Grupė UAB is a Lithuanian group of retail chain companies operating in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Bulgaria.
LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, ...
Wildberries (Russian: Вайлдберриз, Vayldberriz) is the largest Russian online retailer. It was founded in 2004 by Tatyana Kim.
All Recovery is an app to recover deleted or lost items from your Android's internal memory. All Recovery can recover photos, videos, audios and documents that have been previously deleted on the device.
Serbia has an itchy delete finger, apparently.
Yeah, what's up with Latvia? Why would people mass-download a grocery store app? Besides, iki is better. At least it was 10 years ago. Do they still have iki?
Because of discounts
Nice one Netherlands.
The Netherlands continues to be my top choice for a place to live if I end up fleeing my country. If they'll have me.
It's expensive. Don't forget to buy the floor for your apartment.
Edit: I'm serious about the floor. Apartments don't come with flooring included.
I'm sure a lot of us here can say that's the only one on the map we have
Loving Bulgaria. Everybody's doing social networks, meanwhile they're "ooh, a puzzle game!"
You know, I mostly hear about how Soviet-looking Bulgaria still is from my family over that way. Everyone playing Tetris adds to that.
Temu is more like a capitalism network than a social network, but yeah Chad Bulgaria playing tetris instead of giving into consumerism.
People really use temu? I thought it was all crap.
Edit:
This is most downloaded not most used, so I'd reckon a lot of people heard about it, downloaded it, used it, realised it was all crap, then deleted it.
People would rather download the app to figure that out than just visit the website? That's still depressing.
But probably temu was like get 50% off your first order via the app or something like that?
"Wtf is TEMU?"
Oh...
Also, wtf is MA IMA?
Temu is basically Wish.
Maxima is a Lithuanian retail chain which operates throughout the Baltics.
That red X on a red background 👌
Only Netherland and Bulgaria can be proud of themselves.
Nobody can be as proud of themselves (because of this list I mean) as Lithuania: "LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, ..."
Wtf is klarna?
Swedish fintech for online payments. A lot of young people go into debts with their "shop now, buy later" function
So credit card with extra steps?
Credit card with no interest or very very low interest.
It's like lay-away for people old enough to remember that, except you get the product immediately instead of later.
Credit cards are not that wide spread in many parts of Europe opposed to the US. I guess it's more like PayPal with the possibility to pay later. But yes, I also use my debit/credit card for online payment, which is a step more as I have to enter many numbers for that.
Layaway without the wait
Is Temu really that much cheaper compared to Aliexpress to be "worth it"?
They have better marketing
