I didn't say Kickstarter was a con.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.
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.
