I've veeb seeing lots of emulation handhelds and fake joy-con over on TikTok Shop. Mostly accompanied by misleading marketing, or just unfair prices.

Tiktok has taken us right back around to step zero on dropshipping scams. American adults had just moved past this and now they're trying to catch a vulnerable new generation before anyone can tell them otherwise.
I don't know if we ever moved forward from it, the rise of wish taught the normies of my generation (older Gen z/younger millennials) all about cheap Chinese stuff, and has totally ruined most online shopping. Amazon has been a total trainwreck for like 5-8 years now
@@Yixdy I feel like millennials had wised up to this after the "digital nomad" hype blew over
Not all adults... my sister and my stepdad both buy stuff on TikTok Shop. My stepdad's even bought stuff on Temu
some of the prices on there they want for the item they are trying to sell is crazy like a 4k gaming stick for $80 same one can be bought from aliexpress for like 15-18usd
Tik tok brain is killing these young ppls brains
Call scammers out! There’s nothing wrong with shaming shameless people.
Shame needs a comeback in our society. Too many people getting away with crap.
trilogy media does this.
I'll call out scammers in their live feeds and get banned very quickly. I love it. 😅
The Irony of this sentiment on Wulff's channel after the completionist situation
I fall into the "I don't have a TikTok, but am just curious about this" and uhh yeah TikTok shop looks to be exactly about what I expected
Yep same here
Same
(4)
Same, tiktok Is shit
Same
I'm so sick of these Tiktok shop ads, half my feed is just people promoting their shit man
Thank god I don't have the feature (yet, hopefully never)
Thank god I don't have Tiktok
This is the thing I had to learn with Reddit and CZcams with individual channels, is that half a feed of content you stay on the app for worth the half that is garbage? Is it half a feed or a quarter? a third? Just something to keep in mind.
stop using that dogshit brainrotting spyware app
@@nkoonkukoousually when someone say this I'd tell them tik tok ain't even that bad. And it isn't honestly. But their algorithm is getting super annoying as of recent.
the fact that you asked them if you could advertise the website and not the app and they never got back to you is very suspicious imo.
The app install is the point of the ad. They want as many people running the app as possible so they can harvest data from your phone.
Same reason I don't want Fast food apps. I'll pay a smidge more for my digital privacy.
The best way to avoid bad reviews on TikTok is to avoid TikTok completely.
You sir, you are quite intelligent.
as an attention spam thank you
The Tik Tok algorithm has failed to show me stuff I like more and more often. I quit.
Every site/app with endless scrolling is bad. CZcams is on the edge since my subscription page works, and I check in on channels directly from time to time.
If you turn off your watch history, you will never be recommended any videos on the homepage. You'll only get recommended on the video you're currently watching and your subscriptions.
They even have localized versions. On German Tiktok they were coming up in masses and even promoting their products in the style of: "F you, you tagged sony and nintendo so much under our posts that they now want to sue us. Nothing is illegal, the games are legal" Which is pretty funny, as they obviously aren't allowed to sell these things with ROMs preloaded...
I remember seeing one try that tactic with crappy AirPods cleaners, it kept teasing to not tag Apple or else they would be legally forced to sell off the patent so they could charge their own “premium” price on them since that’s the stereotype with Apple (remember that $999 Pro Stand?). They REALLY were trying to promote it as some super advanced thing when it was just brushes and bristles lmao
i hope this video does well because i love listing to Bob telling people what grinds his gears.
Listening
Hes combined Common sense, reviews, personal views, and how to improve for all websites and products. Something you SHOULD be able to get from ANY salesperson when you walk into their store (before the tides turned)
I'm glad that I'm not the only one seeing how blatantly annoying the TT Shop ads are getting, this validated me so much. Also $110 for RENEWED? What is even happening in the Joy-Con market?
I bought a set from Aliexpress and they work fine but they're nowhere near the quality of the originals. I might try swapping out the thumbsticks for some better ones at some stage.
I'm pretty sure gray joycons aren't being manufactured anymore, that's why they're so much more expensive than the rest.
I've seen a few ads for low end handhelds that claim they can play games that they clearly can't by showing sped up footage. You can obviously tell because the game is shown running at regular speed but the thumbs are moving like the flash lol
Oh no, those thumbs are normal speed. Kids, ya know. :O
the blown-out audio on the sponsored segment had me laughing out loud 👍
TikTok is the worst place to get good info about products
Tiktok is the worst place to get anything other than severe brain rot
This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Doesn’t follow the standard script of every other reviewer.
I noticed this problem the other day, the retro games tag is ruined because all you get are people promoting these stupid handhelds and emulators.
Ah yes, I love to download the "R-O-M's"!!
Well ROM IS an acronym... so it's not incorrect.
@@kcSebbyAn acronym is by definition *not* pronounced as individual letters.
Wish, Temu, and TikTok Shop are all the same 😂
Ali Express is what i would consider the most 'real' of these chineese sites, i get alot of the same products for cheaper and alot of products not sold anywhere else or as convenient.
What's funny is that ad on twitter you talked about probably lost it's ability to make revenue. Corrected tweets can't make money if I remember correctly.
Yeah, if a tweet gets corrected by Community Notes, it loses monetization.
I think about this daily. I brought it up in the sbc subreddit and people were arguing that this wasn’t scamming and its essentially the consumers fault for overpaying and not doing the research.
I've been banned by so many tiktok accounts for calling all these scammers out. Fun going on their lives, commenting, and having them stupidly read them out loud lol
We might have a real problem if these handheld emulator companies advertise on TikTok and say point-blank that these devices come preloaded with games they don't have the legal authority to sell along with the product.
Sooo what souljaboy did
The saddest part is.. there are plenty of great indie creators trying to sell on TikTok, and they're getting drowned out by the scammers and drop-shippers. =( And unless TT bans dropshipping, it will only get worse.
I would expect them to say that yes, it is worth it. The meta I've seen on TikTok and Instagram is just absolutely shameless, from promoting garbage and clickbaiting all the way to actual scams and harmful content
So is the Facebook Marketplace. So is Amazon. These jank "10,000 in 1" pieces of crap are everywhere.
as someone who uses tiktok and also supports emulation and retro gaming, seeing these scams are super annoying... thanks for calling these people out! even if its not going to reach them immediately, its still a great thing to talk about.
I keep getting TikTok shops selling toilet paper in bulk. I don't know that that means about me.
Covid-20 confirmed!
Massive respect for the way you conduct yourself and your business.
You are getting better at ad reads. I mostly skip all ads but this one kept me engaged bc of the comedy/ old school ad shtick
For real I report every tiktok shop ad as scams everytime
Still have not used tiktok.
Your video showed up in my search results as I was looking for third party reviews or some sort of verification that these products are not scams before I order one. Thanks for the informative video. I will buy direct from the manufacturer's store front.
Tbh the "fake joycons" have really great stuff like bro some joycons are better than the original
Found your channel this week, so glad I subbed! Some sound advice no bs.
Man so many CZcamsrs I follow just keep reminding me why I deleted my TikTok a few years ago, do people just not question or second guess things they see anymore? And just go for it because “TikTok told me…” ????
God I’m sick of hearing about that godforsaken app…
Anyway rant over lmao
Bob, this kind of content is very interesting. Good job!
Great video as always Bob! Just ordered my Wulff Den Mouse pad should ship in a few days!
I can't imagine buying something I see in a TikTok ad (or any ad for that matter), last time I did was probably choosing private Internet access as my VPN
I appreciate the info about the knockoff joycons! I actually use a joycon as a hotkey device when working in other programs on my pc. So getting a $26 thing that's never gonna really get real gaming wear and tear is perfect!
I appreciate your PSA Wood, and can't wait for Nontendo Pod this year!
I was able to get an mm+ for 40$ shipped as a first time deal but I probably wouldn’t use it for anything else
Same. I also got my anbernic 35xx for 30. Sometimes stuffs on sale, but only 20% of the time
Good god! Even the sponsor sections of this channel are FANTASTIC 5:00 😂😂😂😂😂😂 THE BEST with the added buzzer sound!!!
Great video, feels pretty good knowing that I'm not needing to figure out all this emulation stuff in the modern era
the best way to navigate TikTok is by not using TikTok, so this was interesting to watch
THANK YOU for making this video bc ive been eyeing that ambernic handhald but I always trust you Bob so thank you again for bringing awareness to this issue and MLM product scams that is the tiktok shop 💪💯🔥one of my favorite most respected youtuber
I’m glad about this video cus I’ve been slowly getting sick of those tik tok scams
Wild stuff! I use tik tok but I’ve never seen these sorts of shady things surrounding video games on the platform, I have seen it occurring on other platforms though.
Really interesting video! It is good to know how to find scams and avoid being scammed!
Bob needs more followers! Love his content!
I made a new account on tiktok and started calling out these live shops that tell lies to people to sell handhelds. If you go into one playing ps2 on a handheld that runs ps2 like sht. Tell them to turn off frame skip and boom you get banned and kicked.
I've spent the last month doing this. I also comment on the shops answering questions honestly and steering people in the right direction. Been kicked out of around 40 lives in January.
I’m not on the app enough to see shop stuff. But yeah major tip to avoid problems is to just do research before you buy things from there or any online shop really. Stay safe on the interwebs folks.
Bobs sponsor ads are top fuckin tier, literally the only ads I refuse to skip
Only TikTok shop I love is Scrub Daddy, LOL.
Ordered from TikTok first time just recently, asked when they usually ship bc I’d been waiting about two weeks and when they said they do next day and I told them i was waiting on mine, they make a video about me calling me a liar and blocked me. Package came about four days later lol
Glad you made a video bringing this crap up, kind of gross what they are doing especially considering lots of children use tiktok
Great video. More of this please
So glad you addressed this I almost folded a couple times
I guess TikTok saw all of the dropshippers trying to engagement bait their audience and thought to make a Wish clone exclusively for them to list products on. Quite scummy if you ask me
thank you for talking about this
As a creator on TikTok, if I get a product sample that sucks or is clearly dropshipped, I’m real about it. Somehow those are my most well paying ads as far as people buying the products for some reason
I wanted to give you props for calling out people that just praise products without mentioning flaws to push a shop. Then I remembered you do the same thing with sponsored videos like the Legion Go one.
How do you reset your algorithm. That's what I want to know. Lol
One of the few CZcamsrs whose integrated sponsor spots I don’t skip. Bob’s are actually entertaining and not just reading a spec sheet.
I’m excited to get my miyoo mini plus next week based on your mod guide and starter guides. Thanks
I love your content keep up the good work and have you ever thought about a rp4 pro review
The “ah row emz” 😂
I also kinda wonder about whether or not Nintendo is going to go after TikTok or creators for promoting and SELLING what is essentially illegal material.
You know a CZcamsr does it right when you trust the product he's advertising! Great job on keeping things 100%
I'm one of those deathly allergic to Tiktok, honestly just scared of the app at this point; I've seen what it does to people and want none of that. Then, of course I fell into youtube shorts 😅
Anyway, happy as always to see we can trust the Wulff Den bros to value integrity and their relationship with their audience :)
I do the same thing, just keep on swiping which is a shame because I'd like to have a tiktok shop at some point to get people to buy hobby supplies but they'd just ignore me too.
3:03 Real talk: WTF is with the software updates on PS5 controllers?
Bob I'm so happy you here doing this work. Great advise, perfect summary. I think the vast majority of people would be easily scammed by these ads. Keep up the great work!
I kept hearing about TikTok shop but was never seeing it or the nigh endless ads or pushed videos for it. It turns out my country was somehow set to Canada and after switching to US, most of my feed is sponsored posts, commission posts, TikTok shop ads, or older videos that I've already seen and/or liked. I'm considering switching it back to Canada 😅
Loved the little Wood cameo
Right now, I get 3 regular videos, an ad, then an TikTok shop ad for an Anbernic or an XBox Controller
Why can’t China get access to clean No-Intro game sets? 😂
Or good romsets, yeah, I bet most of these devices are full of ROM hacks or poor quality games no doubt
“An-buuur-nic” 🤣
I learned a long time ago to never buy a product seen in any social media platform video. Got ripped off on a Christmas gift for my brother, so I never buy from a video from now on.
I roll my eyes to the back of my head everytime I see an Temu ad
I am so tired of just seeing anything tiktok related. They spam me constantly with dumb as, the videos in my CZcams feed is filled with tiktok content, and tons of products tagged with tiktok or temu...
Gleefully ignorant of the goings-on over on TikTok, just here watching a good Bob video. :)
Great video new sub!!
I don’t have Tik Tok. I’m just here to support you with a view. Love your videos, no matter the content.
TikTok overhyped the E1 Max Screwdriver, so i bought one and found it to be bad. Didnt have alot of power even on high tork.
not only tiktok, youtube is like this too
Scammy comments too
@@skycloud4802 that too
A lot
I think they caught on, for some reason I'm getting a dental oil pulling ad now
Twitter is full of this dropshipping crap.
Reminds me of the soi-ya boy stuff, where some poser pretended to designed a new console and just dropshipped some aliexpress stuff for 4-6* the price. 😂
Someone should make a TikTok shop and ad blocker
I know it used to be super popular just to hack old NES games to fill them with any kind of shocking/offensive shit one could think of.
How these romhacks end up on bootleg consoles, though, is a complete mystery.
Yeah but I mean it is pretty much a 90s/early internet thing to do but bad right
@@buttbutt4886 Yeah pretty much, that early internet "shock jock" culture.
me personally, i get more lives than ads. always some lady trying to sell them, showing what they can do at an upcharged price lmao
Im glad i dont use tiktok. Never created an account. Im THAT guy. Excuse me while i put up more blackout shades while wearing my tin foil hat
Thanks for keeping it real ✌️
I dont get much if these ads on tiktok unless i go to the Live tiktok feed... these type of ads I get all the time on Instagram, Twitter and/or Facebook, which I deleted cause less garbage to deal with haha.
I recently bought an RG35XX from the Tiktok shop but only after watching the review from this channel lol
That's a nice new space bar you got there. I see that great minds thing a like. I have that keyboard and I picked up the more color matching one. Off of TEMU actually.
*Kid flat out lies*
You: "oooooh they don't know any better!"
Commenting to engage in the algorithm. This needs to be seen and shared
this video is how i found out my splatoon joycons i bought off ebay were fake
I didn’t even no TikTok had a shop
Look at those joy con
1:32 cool mmx intro in the background
