I never understood the appeal of free swag. Here we have someone who feels like a walking billboard yet still decides to wear them. I get it if purchasing a $20 non-ad-supported t-shirt poses a significant financial burden, but most students aren’t in that position. Why would you choose to be a frigging ad then? Especially for questionable companies, say Palantir, which IIRC used to be quiet a common sight on Stanford campus.
- david_allison 4y agoDepends on where you get the swag. I associate my Hacktoberfest T-shirts with good memories, despite the branding on the sleeves. > law students can now sip out of their Wilke water bottles months later in memory of the big law networking event that stood as the celebration of our first year of learning how to conduct legal research.
- cinericius 4y agoThis is barely ever the case anymore but the quality can be very high. Especially if the people who are eligible to receive it is restricted. If you take the view that the value of standing out and snagging a top student is somewhere in the 6-7 figures, spending $100 a head on swag isn't at all unreasonable - most companies just don't see it that way.
