I’ve never understood why anyone would pay money to be a walking billboard.

Otherwise people wouldn't be able to tell that you spent $75 on your T-shirt instead of $25

It's all about conspicuous consumption; gotta show that you can afford the real article. Some people really do believe in the power of "pay to win" and bolt-on status points, and by all accounts, are actively supported by their peers.

On occasion, branded stuff really is the best value. IMO, that's usually when a brand is starting out, not when they're popular.
