brand known for using child labor (…) I’d avoid the Nikes unless they’re the cheapest option.

so, you are okey with child labor as long as it produces cheapest option? man of a principle, i see 😂

it is a complex topic, but the fact is, that most people will choose the brand they know (meaning it was advertised to them long enough) over the other one, which is why advertising works and why companies dump money into it.
