This is also a misunderstanding of how brands work because of course it goes both ways.

Lol this is a complete misunderstanding of how brands work.
People generally buy shirts with brands on it to say “look, I am an (insert brand here) type of person”.
You’re not advertising for the company. You’re paying to advertise yourself as one of their customers. It functionally acts as advertising for the brand, sure, but not in the way an actual advertisement does.

That’s almost worse. I buy brands because they last.
