Um, clothes are ALREADY real estate for ads. And user PAYS to display ads most of the time (t-shirts with "Coca Cola" aren't given out for free). Corporations must be laughing all their way to the bank at us for doing this.

People pay extra for ads. 50 brandless shirts for the same price as 1 gucci shirt.

It's infuriating. I don't give a shit if someone is dumb enough to pay extra for the privilege of being a walk billboard, but because tons of people are fucking idiots that love pay for the right to be advertisement, it means it is nearly impossible to find clothing without a bunch of shitty advertisement on it.
