When shirts are worn less than a dozen times on average before they get tossed in the landfill, those branded shirt companies should be paying you.
Convenient video from today about this exact topic.
With very few exceptions, I will wear a shirt until it's just not wearable anymore. If the image is really faded, I don't care much.
The only exceptions right now are two shirts I still have from my previous job that I hated. I'm mostly keeping them around in case my wife wants them for some sort of craft project.

You’re paying for an ad-free experience with no logo. You could always make your own ad-blocked and cover up the logo on scrape it off if you want the cheaper one with no ads.

That's what my granddad always said.
Yeah but it's a tight balancing act between selling at a higher volume vs selling at a higher price. If they're already selling high volumes of low quality, then going lower could put them in the negative, in theory. In reality there isn't enough competition for that logic to work, we buy low quality at high costs.
I actually just bought a saddlebag for my bike which was cheaper because it has a (rather inconspicuous) company logo on it.
Interestingly, sometime after highschool, roughly around 20 years old, I stopped wearing/buying clothing with logos on them. Except for footwear, they'll always have their logo imprinted.
Tbh I feel like this is sometimes the case. Whenever I've looked for really cheap basic one-color t-shirts, the lowest cost ones usually have a brand logo on them.
Browse the REI catalog. Vouri t-shirt, tiny label, $60. Free Fly t-shirt, no label that I can see, $55.
