Re: Stop bitching
Crowdfunding is like angel investing except getting a cut of the profits you get a discount off a crappy gadget, or bitter disappointment, or both.
The only people who really profit from crowdfunding are the site operators who get to skim cash off both ends. From the donators who give money, and from the money they eventually release to the people begging for it. I wonder if I can crowdfund a rival crowdfunding service.
