Hey, @emtecks. Remember me? I'm the @gamegiveaways guy. Yep, that account is still on a break.
Ideally we should all go to that new good brand on the market and keep telling them how great they are and how we hope they don't sell out because mainstream brands usually suck. Hopefully this will get them to not sell out once they're big enough to get offers.
There's always something great out there. Maybe it's being kickstarted through Indiegogo or Kickstarter. We should support those.
Yeah, true. I guess selling out plays indeed a big role in such things. Although that is sort of a relative thing, after all I don't know how big of a temptation in might be to swap your passion for $$$ :)
Regarding the new stuff, I feel like clothing start ups are best started locally wherever they are, online platforms would be useful for something at least semi-established
