Yeah i can see that analogy with literacy/numeracy - one could maybe also argue that those also have externalities that tech platforms exploit in various ways. Clothing interested me here because it's physical/visual/tactile + more literally projected onto shared public space

The counter argument is that fashion is just sumptuary laws at their other extreme and a means of coercive control by a social elite. Not a commons. A burden imposed in certain (usually not public) contexts. The Met gala is hardly the public square. More like a Versailles.
