i don't think it's inherently humiliating to wear an advertisement. plenty of people pay to do this today (eg baseball hats and branded clothing). now if the advertising is tasteful/stylish enough that people actually want to wear it, probably no one will pay you to do it. perhaps a middle ground exists where people can get paid to wear moderately tasteful ads. for example, the livery of a formula one car is a bit garish, but they do seem to make some effort to make the colors work together.
- dgzl 8y agoI think that forcing other subjects on the bus to view your advertisement would be insulting and an eyesore for them, thus being humiliating for you. I don't think a single logo would suffice though, I'm thinking of a very large and obnoxious advertisement, with many brands and logos. Essentially, endless ads that are stitched together. I couldn't imagine this being comparable to a Nike t-shirt.
- leetcrew 8y agosure, it makes sense to go to the extreme "worst page on the internet" case for the purpose of your thought experiment. i'm just saying something like [0] might be enough ads to be worth money to someone, while not being completely ugly. i wouldn't wear something like that myself in public, but i wouldn't be too offended to stand near someone wearing it.
