T-Shirt Posts
If you see a post about a T-Shirt in any way, it probably isn’t what it seems to be, especially if the picture is captioned “If you want this t-shirt, say yes in the Comments”[1] or similar. The likelihood of it being a Spambot is very, very high, especially when the immediate comments are asking where to buy it and another giving the link, as all three comments will be the same spambot using “sock puppet” accounts to look like three different Redditors.

Why you should not buy T-shirts/hoodies/mugs linked in comments.
Do not engage with it; just use the Report option as Spam -> Link Farming, comment the subreddit link r/TheseFuckingAccounts and report the accounts to the admins at https://www.reddit.com/report[2] and move on.
