>The main motivation of socks is getting more gifts
Uh, not for a lot of people with socks, including multiple in this thread.
In fact for most people signing up with only 1-2 socks I'm gonna bet that getting more gifts ranks low on the list of motivations, below "sequestering fandom identities" etc. For people with 4+ socks gift acquisition seems more likely to be the motive.
