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?
People pay for shirts with the nike logo on it all the time. Maybe folks think they’re big enough now that they can do the same.
Uhh yes. Often. First day on Earth?
Must be Ford Prefect within a couple days after being stranded on Earth. The only logical way they don’t know about branded clothing.
I mean, I wear band merch all the time, which is basically t-shirts, hats and hoodies that advertise the band.
Ever heard of brands?
Glad you asked me what it is. So you see, there are things call webpages. Yes, they are pages on the web. Guess what, there are people making them. Shocking, right? So part of the webpage…
my favorite feature on this image every time I see it is the man on the right. pretty sure he is not amused about having to listen to what is happening behind him
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.
Isn’t that an open source project? How else do you want them to make money?
Don’t think they are open source but they do provide a ton of free, high quality icons. Presumably they make money off the organizations paying for the icon packs.
I’m not sure what OP has against them. He should take a look at how Nike has hypnotized a portion of the population into giving them money for shoes with a check mark.
Nothing against them, it’s just that it totally looks like a conference gift shirt, but indeed fashion brands brainwashed us to daily wear ads
Some random ass site making shirts will always be funny to me because why would I wear an ad for a odt to pdf converter
In their minds, they’re wearing something to show off.
I don’t get the appeal either, the idea of paying a company to advertise for them always struck me as odd, but I understand a lot of people, including content creators, mainly make money off merch, so I don’t hold it against them.
I despise branded clothing but that does look like something funny to wear.
I love my Jet Lag: The Game hat. I would love if more people subscribed to Nebula
Um. If you order by May 25th, they will ship it three weeks into the past? Or do they need to know by May 25th 2025 to get it to you on time by May 4th 2026?
