There are no links to buy any of the shirts on the page. It's a tongue-in-cheek comparison of startup swag.

Those ads you are seeing above the comments are from the comment service, Disqus. Unless you pay 12$/month, the comment box iframe will inject ads.
These are not ads directly added by "this guy", but rather by his choice of using Disqus for adding comments to the site.

#14The 50/50 shirts are great. I've got a stripe shirt that first turned me on to them and I went online and bought a bunch of blank ones in different colors. My current company found a similar shirt from bella+canvas that is also great. It and the stripe shirt are the only vendor shirts in my regular rotation.
Wouldn't it just be easier to find 50/50 t-shirts without the branding and not be some tool of a walking billboard rent free?

It's something I imagine a lot of people would forget - I don't think the thought ever occurred to me for a personal site.
Part of having browsed the web with ad blockers turned on for so long is I tend to forget ads exist for the most part - I definitely forget how pervasive they are.

#16I am biased since I worked at KineticaDB, but the KineticaDB t-shirts were the best swag I've ever received. I have a closet full of them, 3x/yr across the three years I was there. I wore some socially and fashionably, and others at the gym. They used high-end fabrics comfortable for day and night. I think about ROI on marketing and this must be incredible w/r/t Employee alignment. Imagine having employees wear your…
3x/yr X 3years == closet full
how small is your closest? i've heard how small apartments can be in places like NYC/SF, but if the space provided for your clothes is filled by 9 t-shirts, i'm going to need to re-evaluate small again.
