In response to an email I received today, me asking for a donation:
Kickstarter! ARRRRH! No! I'm not going to give my hard earned money to fund some lazy ass experiments!!! Make something decent and i'll buy it, put on a good show and i'll go. I don't care if you cant afford to make a record, do a tour, or make a video about making a record and touring. Do the damn work first, or find a real investor (whom you will have to prove the merits of your idea with a solid plan)- you lazy, good for nothing, coddled bunch of spoiled e-brats. I don't believe in rewards without work first, sorry!
Whew- thank you for this thread..

So.... that's a "no" for the Space Elevator then?

That would be thousands of samples, you pay the shipping charge on that. :p

Hmm...I'll have to check my piggie bank..

Isnt that exactly what Kickstarter is? You prove the merits of your idea, and then people invest in your ideas if theyre on board, no?
If you dont like their ideas, dont invest.
You say you dont believe in rewards without work first, yet you suggest they find a "real investor"... why is Kickstarter full of fake investors?

I think your real complaint here is not Kickstarter, but rather SPAM messages you are receiving from Kickstarter.

Absolutely hate the spam, absolutely don't agree that it is a thought out platform for the investors at all, because it's flooded with garbage. It could be great, occasionally it works, but the poor misuse has made it a change cup you rattle at friends because you won't or can't do the ground work.
The last straw was that email..... do what you want, but don't spam me...
