The Dropshipping Problem: Youth Digital Marketing Gone Wrong

2•haebom•3h ago
I've been observing a concerning trend where dropshipping has become increasingly popular among teenagers, often promoted through excessive affiliate marketing and influencer campaigns. The pattern seems to be that a few highly publicized success stories are driving masses of young people to attempt similar ventures, with some cases escalating into what could be classified as digital fraud or deceptive practices. This raises several questions that I think are relevant to this community. Who are the key players driving this dropshipping trend among youth? Are there specific platforms, influencers, or course sellers that are particularly responsible for this surge? What makes teenagers particularly vulnerable to these marketing tactics - is it the accessibility of e-commerce platforms, social media algorithms, or something else? From a technical perspective, I'm curious what safeguards platforms could implement to prevent minors from engaging in potentially harmful business practices. The intersection of youth marketing, e-commerce platforms, and digital literacy seems like a significant issue that deserves attention. Has anyone else observed similar patterns, and what solutions might be viable from both technical and policy perspectives?
