I'm referring to brands because you said this: >You think using brands to signal status isn't normal? We're not talking about social signaling in general. You are the one who mentioned brands and tried to imply everyone was doing it because you can see lots of brands. I pointed out why that was bogus and now you are changing the subject to social signaling in general, which is not the topic.
