This also affects crowdfunding platforms like Indiegogo - a lot of "new products" there is just rebranded junk from Alibaba, that's often already sold on Amazon for half of what they ask for it.

Ironically, there's also a reverse phenomenon happening on Kickstarter. Between start and end of a crowdfunding campaign you may discover the crowdfunded product has already been cloned by the Chinese and is sold cheaper on Aliexpress.
