How many of you would be willing to buy merchandise from Privacy Guides if they had some available? T-shirts, webcam covers, caps, beanies, wallets, stickers. Y’know, the usual.
- Yes
- No
- I have a more nuanced answer (discuss below)

Would you? 
It might be fun if you built a poll for this question, if you edit your post there’s an add poll button I think you can use:

I would only consider it if 100% of the profit (after website maintenance costs, of course) went to donations of a rotating list of community chosen privacy projects like the TOR project, EFF, and funding security audits of software like picocrypt.
Every purchase funds privacy for all and does good for society. Anything less would almost seem like a money grab and seems distasteful in my opinion.

Yes, but depends on how it is sold (merchant system), quality of the clothing (i prefer something durable), and if the design makes me wear it in day to day life.
Edit: and payment method. I do not donate to TOR for this reason because they only allow for crypto (STUPID) and PayPal (big no no)

I don’t know what would be worse–trying to find a clothing manufacturer you can convince to accept crypto or mail-in cash, or trying to handle the payments yourself.
I guess it could just accept normal payment methods, but that’s like… c’mon.
Edit: sorry for the necro, didn’t realize
We do now offer a few merch options:
They are somewhat pricey, it’s difficult to meet our high quality and ethical standards. We’ll probably have smaller stuff like stickers and other things like that in the future.

The other day I created a post about privacy in the airports and one thought that cross my mind for a second was that would be cool to see some people in the airport using PG masks (surgical masks with a logo from PG) like caring and representing people that are “fighting” for privacy.
Edit: Removed a sentence in the end about people confusing the logo that didn’t make any sense.
I wonder if LMG’s Creator Warehouse would be willing to work with y’all since they seem to have the quality and ethical standards setup with a fairly robust system.
I’m not big on branded products, but I would definitely purchase a patch to slap on my backpack or a sticker to put on my gun safe.

This community means a lot to me so I’d be happy to keep making donations without receiving any merchandise.

sure i think it would be better if you did funny merch rather than just printing the logo on a shirt or cup.
Like a mug or shirt that says “Privacy its not for sale” and then the privacy guides logo.
Or “Bruh, Do you even privacy?”

I’d think like extended mouse pads, mugs, shirts are designed cool or look cool. I have a sticker on my coffee mug that says “Sudo apt-get coffee” I thought that was hilarious. Especially since no one knows what the privacy guides logo is outside the people in the sub.
