So you know how everyone on these forums help one way or another to find lost media? Well, let’s say a group of people find hitogata ad for example, and every single one of those people who helped in the search will get a shirt that says “I helped find hitogata!” Or something like that. The people who helped in the search and who actually want a shirt will pay the amount it costs to get a custom shirt. It’s very necessary.
So... you want people to "pay for the privilege of working"? That reminds me...

No that’s not what I meant. I understand why you might think that know. Sorry for the miscommunication
I'm just saying, when the participants matter to you, you give them a gift or reward unfettered. That way, they'll be more inclined and able to help you in the future.

I think this was a harmless suggestion and realistically it wouldn't happen anyway. But logistically speaking, it would cost a lot of money for one person to pay for the shirts of countless people who helped a search.
I'll break it down as someone who has had shirts made:
If you choose a shirt manufacturer (opposed to silk screening the shirt yourself), you will be limited on number of colors and shirt type. Generally these shirt manufacturers make you buy 20 or more shirts at a time. You also have to get everyone's size. Larger sizes cost more. Then you have to have the shirts sent to you, and you would have to ship them to each individual. Which is also money. If anyone is outside of the states it's going to be ridiculous in terms of cost. Not to mention you have to buy the packaging, and provide tracking as well. Also everyone would have to be willing to give their address in this situation.
If you're making the shirts yourself, you're either paying for silk screen materials which means limited color palette, or a shirt press along with transfer paper. That's not only money, but also time you would have to put in to make every shirt. And you would still have to deal with shipping.
It would make much more sense to do this type of thing off a made to order website (ie Redbubble). Whoever made and uploaded the design would get the money, but on those sites it really isn't much. But the person who did design the shirts should be paid anyway. Which begs another question: who is designing the shirts?
Are you commissioning an artist? Are you doing itself? Is it someone else within the group? And how they design the shirt all depends on the circumstances I outlined above.

I never said I wanted to actually do this! I just thought it would be a cute little idea and i wanted to share it. I did not mean for it to escalate

Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to escalate it. Just add my two cents.
