You clearly don't know what a "con" is. There's no aspect of this being a "con". You know that there's no return on your money before you donate.

Why aren't you creating something that we all can eat from using investor crowd funding? You aren't for obvious reasons.

This thread is the epitome of being a hater and you look pathetic. "I've got a problem with how he's been using kickstarter lately". You sound like a fakkit. If you don't want to donate then don't donate. It's literally that simple. Dude is giving cats 3 free shows a week and you're still hating like a bytch unnecessarily. That's what's corny dude.
I didn't say Kickstarter was a con.

But OP's point about someone being successful the way Tariq has...for that person to continue to use crowd funding seems off.
If Steven Spielberg or Spike Lee went to Kickstarter to fund their next movie, given their established level of success, you'd question it too. So don't act stupid.

And I know what you're going to say "b-b-but Tariq aint even on the same level as Spielberg and Lee".
That's not what I said.
It's about questioning at what point...after certain degrees of success do you seek out more standard investment options rather than the free money of average nobodies.

Then what's the "con" then? Save that other bullshyt and explain how he's conning people.
I'm a hater for opening up a discussion you nikkas are the worst :deadrose:. Also he makes revenue from those shows.
Yea you're a hater for opening up this bullshyt discussion. What you're doing is the definition of hating. You're the worst.

I don't care how much he makes from the shows, the point was that they're free for his audience to consume.

I said I understood how people might feel that way given his success.

:heh: Don't be a p*ssy. Stand behind what you said. Explain how anyone can validly feel like him crowd funding for his projects is a con.

Call me a c00n... in another man's pockets or whatever, but tariq should have more than enough income to put up funds for whatever next future product or endeavor he is considering.

Hidden colors 1,2,3... it was fine he was getting off the ground, and I'm sure he needed some additional funds to fund the next product.

Now the man is on the verge of hustling his backers. Hell he not even sending out dvds on time, it took months for me to get hc4. Putting the movies in theatres a week before the DVD:deadrose: he has more than enough money to back whatever small new project he wants. We backed (me included ) his new social media app which I'm sure that outsourced garbage didn't cost a lot.

Considering tours, DVD, clothes,theatre releases , YouTube ads, rental streams etc the man has more than enough gwuop. He don't need us anymore imo:manny: .im not giving him a dime unless it's a profit sharing crowd fund.
Do you want the project to come out or not.

You ever watch a movie and see like 10 company logos before the opening scene.

This happens from small studios to large conglomerates.

That's the producer Kickstarting the movie.

Big projects take big money and there's nothing wrong with asking for money for a quality project that people want to see.

You're a hater, deep down inside but now that you know this you can make some adjustments.

Thread is pathetic. Only a black man would be told this.

Man maybe DreamWorks and Bad Robot should never join funds again. Aren't they both millionaires.

so instead of putting that money towards another pair of Jordans, his "victims" put that money towards another Hidden Colors, or MoorUs app, documentary about Haitian revolution. I'm trying to find a problem here. :beli:
Thanks for lumping us all into c00ns that spend money on nikka trinkets like white supremacist:camby:

You nikkas need to stop comparing investments with actual owners ship percentages to what tariq does with kickstarter. Both DreamWorks and bad robot profit off the success of their films. We don't profit off of any of tariqs materials

How much money have you given Tariq for hidden colors films and how many have you purhased because i dont think youve done either.

Typical nikka shyt though. Im not supporting you because im not getting paid off this 10 dollar donation. :skip:

It's a solid argument that no one in here has logically argued against yet :jbhmm:
Tariq gets "free money" with no obligations to any of the people who donated. He gets to make content without any pressure since donators aren't entitled to anything and he gets to keep all the profits. From his perspective it's STRAIGHT PROFIT whether a project flops or not since he never has to pay anyone back. People saying he invest some of his own money too but how can we quantify that? Sounds like an assumption more than anything :beli:
