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 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.
This is why I love furry stuff. Nomad Complex, Hyena Agenda and Weasel Gear are great. I mean, I guess Nomad Complex and Hyena Agenda could technically be kinda considered branded since Nomad Complex puts their logo on the front of their hoodies and Hyena Agenda has some shirts that incorporate their logo into the design, but the designs are generally really good.
Edit: okay fine, it's one of the reasons why I love furry stuff.
That's why you love furry stuff?
No, but it's one of many. c:
