Is about as fantastic as it gets.  I get on there and all of a sudden it's like 4 hours later and I have no recollection of time passing.

There was a flying bike on there a few months ago!

It's how Zach Braff paid for his lastest movie.

I guess I didn't really know what this was.  I thought it was like a small scale venture capital type thing where people funded projects in hopes of a pay day.  Do people just donate as a feel good type thing?

I was think about starting a thread about early adopters today.  Dang.

Yes and no.  Depends on the project and the donation level. often you get a free whatever they are building.

It's going to be interesting when the movie is financially successful and he pockets a boatload of money.  Gosh I hope he can save that money this time so he won't have to deal with the evil studios for his next movie.  Otherwise he'll be left with no options other than to have his fans foot the bill for his business ventures.

Celebrities should use kickstarter like Doug Stanhope did. To help people. http://thecomicscomic.com/2013/05/24/doug-stanhope-raises-50000-for-atheist-survivor-of-oklahoma-tornado/

The aforementioned fuckfaces have or are using it to start private business ventures. They're using it as a venture capital investment firm without having to offer up equity and it really pisses me the eff off.

It really isn't very ethical to take dumb people's money like that. I would like the site a whole lot better if the people were selling equity rather than taking handouts.

I can't stand to watch wealthy and powerful people get even more powerful and wealthy on the backs of donations from dumb poor people.

Dumb thing to get mad about. No one is forcing anyone to donate, kickstarter just provides the medium and takes a cut off the top.

I imagine the dumb poor people get some sort of enjoyment out of having participated in the creation of something they otherwise would have had no possibility of being involved with.  An intrinsic value if you will.  Sadly condescending on the part of poster Metalhead here.

Condescending is kind of my shtick, bub.

No donations in capitalism. This smells like communism.
