Got an email that says “please pay $33 + shipping to get a t-shirt with our ad on it”

There’s people that would actually pay for something like this? This stuff is usually give away for free at conferences and then used as a sleeping dress, no?

    I developed a distate for visible branding on my clothes and other items around 7 years ago and ever since I’ve gone out of my way to not buy any clothes with logos on them and I’ve been scratching away / putting tape over the logos on everything else.

      I feel like I became cognizant of this when I tried customizing my GTA Online character in something that wasn’t a nice suit (street wear). After scroling through so much cotton billboard it made get how tacky and humiliating it is. Turned out to be much harder in real life to find non-branded shirts with cool designs, such utter bullshit.

      What do you mean by putting tape over the logos? I’m imagining something like that you’ve duct taped over the front and centre Nike logo on a shirt but that seems silly

        Well, here’s my laptop. In some other cases, on my camera for example I’ve just used black electrical tape and on my bike duct tape. I have used tape on clothing aswell, though. Many of my work clothes are from my previous employee but since it’s in good condition I’m still using them but just have the company branding covered.
