It's structured as a behavioralist skinner box nightmare slot machine, so i would say no, it is not safe at all.

In terms of trying to latch on to your brain's reward system and manipulate your behavior temu is the most aggressive website, or any other attempt, i've encountered outside actual casinos and maybe mid 10s mcdonalds.

Oh so aliexpress it is then

As in, you're saying it's unsafe because you can't reliably expect to deliver even half-decent quality products? Because that seems fair to me with how cheap the prices are. My mate ordered some cheap designed pins to put on his backpack which looked just fine, he quit the app because of le china spying porky-scared-flipped
Idk what the behavioralist skinner box metaphor is supposed to imply.

The app is constructed as a casino to exploit gambling addictions. It's really, realy, really aggressively trying to hijack your brain using gambling mechanics and every other dirty trick.
